What does it mean to be satisfied with one's job?
ANSWER:
Job satisfaction is a positive appraisal of one's work. It is a multifaceted concept including such variables as hope, resilience, self-efficacy, and optimism. Most people, given time, find jobs in which they are reasonably happy. However, research indicates that job satisfaction does not increase in all areas nor in all jobs over time. People in white-collar jobs tend to show an increase in satisfaction over time, whereas people in blue-collar jobs do not. This finding holds true for both men and women and across cultures. Job satisfaction is also influenced by the type of job one has, where one is in one's career development, the types of family responsibilities one has, and the amount of flexibility one has in their work to accommodate these responsibilities.
