What will be an ideal response?
Job satisfaction is defined as the positive feeling that results from an appraisal of one's work. Research indicates that job satisfaction can be predicted by certain characteristics: hope, resilience, optimism, and self-efficacy. This research has resulted in the creation of psychological capital theory which is the notion that having a positive outlook improves processes and outcomes. Extremely stressful situations on the job may result in alienation and burnout. Alienation occurs when workers believe what they are doing is meaningless and that their efforts are devalued or when they do not see the connection between what they do and the final product. Burnout is the depletion of a person's energy and motivation, the loss of occupational idealism, and the feeling that one is being exploited.
