This is the analysis of how people in an organization relate to each other, how their performance is affected by the environment in the organization either as individuals or as a group. This helps to ensure that the human relationships in the organization are well established so as to achieve the set goals and objectives. Job satisfaction on the other hand is the feeling of fulfillment one gets when their good work is recognized.
To ensure job satisfaction, employees need to be recognized once they do a good job. This can be done verbally by congratulating him/her in a meeting in presence of others or giving them some kind of a bonus so as to motivate them. As an employer, one can also plan a monthly or yearly award system where the best employee in that particular time period is rewarded. Another way of making employees motivated is by giving them responsibilities. This can be done by giving employees work and leaving them to work on their own. This will make them feel satisfied with themselves as it shows that they can be trusted with what they are doing.
To ensure that employees are satisfied with their work, treat all of them equally. This means that even if there are close friends or relatives, they should be treated as other employees with no favoritism. This will enable them to work together without fear of intimidation or suspicion from each other. Working environment should also be accommodative to all to ensure that employees are comfortable. For instance, new employees should be welcome and be orientated with the company’s environment to ensure that they are familiar with their surroundings. Similarly, the employer should be ready and willing to listen to his/her employee’s problems and solve them appropriately. This will make them feel that they are valued and consequently improve their performance.
A company with good policies ensures job satisfaction for their employees. For instance, there should be laid down procedures on promotions and how one can advance their career. Such should be based on employee performance so as to encourage them to work hard to get that promotion. This will bring out fairness and thus provide more satisfaction.
When it comes to communication, there are gender differences associated with. For instance, when communicating, men are mostly concerned with their status whereas women are concerned with gaining acceptance. For example, you may hear a man speaking of his achievements and his future plans while the woman will tell things that might be totally unrelated to that. Men also tend to tell stories that depict hem as heroes unlike women who might downplay themselves.
Some research also show that women are more attentive and responsive in communication than men. Women concentrate on both verbal and non-verbal signs, unlike men who do not listen to every word that is said. For example, when talking to a lady, she may respond by nodding their head, smiling or asking questions. On the other hand, when talking to a man, he may seem very attentive to the conversation but at the end, he ends up asking questions like what your name is, despite the fact that this was the first thing you said at the beginning.
When making decisions, men mostly tend to put less emphasis on their doubts while women will mostly disregard their certainty. For instance, men may speak in a very confident and straightforward way while women may tend to be less assertive for fear of being viewed as not intelligent.
It is therefore important for people, especially in an organization, to understand these differences as they may influence one’s job placement promotions.
