I'm not sure exactly what your question is asking, but I'll try and give you an overview of it as I see it. If employees are dissatisfied with their jobs, this affects their productivity. Peter Drucker provides many clues as to how to tackle this kind of problem. Determining WHY employees dislike their job is a major problem. It could be that the pay is inadequate, or more likely that the employees may dislike something surrounding the management culture, or they may feel disenchanted with their jobs as a whole. To combat this, it might be a good idea for the management to survey employees as to what that like and dislike about their jobs. I'd like to emphasise that Peter Drucker has written alot more about this problem than I've outlined here. You should check him out :) |

I am working on a research project about the following: I have been given the problem of being confronted with low productivity. I have been asked to reserach the job satisfaction in the corporation. Then explain why my research project may fail to provide an adequate contribution to the solution of my problem. |

theres a company my friend worked for, they found that there was low productivity due to stress, so the boss offered a hug to anyone who wanted one. it took a while for the first person to do it, but it caught on, and productivity went back up. not really a statistical answer but you never know |

Well, if you want to research job satisfaction, you could always try 'talking' to the employees directly :) . One of the problems of doing surveys is that they are standardised; everyone fills out the same form. You might be better off informally asking people what they like and dislike about their job, the company, their boss, the working environment, etc. It would also help to do the same to managers. But not only should you find out whether the lower level managers are happy, but also ask them what they THINK the problem is. Quite often employers and employees can have very different ideas about what's really going on. . One common source of dissatisfaction is 'impediments'. Employees typically just want to be able to do their job, and can become disheartened when there are managerial or political obstructions. . Now, as to why your research might not yield an 'adequate contribution' is quite simple. It could very well be that the answer you come up with is unpalatable to management. But I wouldn't write that in your report ;) |
