IMPACT OF OPTIMAL JOB SATISFACTION ON EFFECTIVE EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE
Chapter one
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background for the Study
Job satisfaction is widely understood to be an attitude towards work, or an affective or emotional response to many aspects of one’s job. A person with a high level of job satisfaction has good views towards his or her employment, whereas a dissatisfied employee has negative attitudes towards the job.
Job satisfaction is determined by employees’ perceptions of how well their jobs supply the things they value. Job satisfaction is also defined as the combination of effects caused by an individual’s impression of meeting his needs in regard to his job and surroundings. Furthermore, job satisfaction is a complicated combination of knowledge, emotion, and inclinations.
There is no definite method for assessing job satisfaction, although there are several techniques to determine whether an employee is content or unsatisfied with his or her employment. A questionnaire can be used to measure job satisfaction.
In this method, the employee’s satisfaction with the many characteristics or facets of the job is measured, and the sum of all satisfaction scores is used to calculate overall job satisfaction.
Almost any job-related issue can influence a person’s level of job satisfaction or unhappiness, and job satisfaction is influenced by a variety of factors.
The components of job satisfaction can be summarised as follows: compensation, work itself, promotions, supervision, workgroup, and working environment (Theresa et al, 2016).
Furthermore, employee performance is heavily influenced by perception, values, and attitudes; there appear to be so many variables influencing job performance that it is nearly hard to keep track of them all.
Performance is described as a function of individual talent, skill, and effort in a certain environment. In the short term, employees’ skills and talents remain generally consistent.
This study defines performance as the amount of effort an employee puts into his or her job. Effort is an internal energy that motivates a person to work gladly. When employees are content with their jobs and their requirements are met, they build an attachment to work or make an effort to do better, but more effort leads in improved performances.
Achieving high levels of performance through productivity and efficiency has long been a top focus for organisations. To accomplish this, a highly satisfied workforce is essential; however, when employees are dissatisfied with the nature of their jobs
their level of commitment may be deliberately reduced, and because employees are an organization’s engine room, their dissatisfaction with the nature of their jobs may pose a threat to the organization’s overall performance.
Employees that are unsatisfied with their jobs tend to have low morale, and when their morale is low, their performance suffers.
1.2 Statement of Problem
Job satisfaction is an important factor in people’s performance at work, and it influences employee contributions to organisational effectiveness and efficiency. As a result, employee perception of their employer’s general working environment is an important step in achieving the organization’s goals.
The more a person is satisfied with his or her work, the more likely he or she is to find ways to cope, but it has been observed that many employees in Nigeria do not feel fulfilled or enjoy their jobs, which is primarily due to the workload, their boss, or the employee’s interest, and as a result, the employee may not perform as expected.
Many employers treat the majority of their employees as slaves; it has been documented numerous times of employers mistreating their employees and threatening to fire them, but due to the problem of unemployment
the employee has no choice but to endure the torture; thus, the purpose of this research is to determine the impact of job satisfaction on employee performance in the De-United Foods Industry (manufacturers of Indomie).
1.3 Object of the Study
The major purpose of this study is to find out the effects of optimal job satisfaction on effective employee performance in De-United Food Industries. Specifically, the study intends to
1. Determine and analyse the effect of optimal job satisfaction on employee job satisfaction.
2. Determine which elements influence an employee’s job happiness.
3. Study the impact of employee job satisfaction on organisational productivity.
1.4 Research question
1. Does optimal job satisfaction affect employee job satisfaction?
2. What elements influence an employee’s job satisfaction?
3. What is the impact of employee job satisfaction on organisational productivity?
1.5 Research Hypothesis.
Ho: optimum job satisfaction has no impact on employee work satisfaction.
Hello, there is no effect of optimal job satisfaction on employee work satisfaction.
1.6 Significance of the Study
This research is crucial because it will contribute to the existing body of knowledge in these areas. It is also significant since it will provide information on the current trends and journey in the management of government-owned enterprises and commercial organisations.
The study’s findings will be insightful since they will disclose how much job satisfaction is available in the organisation and how this has affected employee productivity.
This research will also be valuable to economists, management practitioners, students, and the general public because it will point the way forward.
The recommendations will be important since they will provide advise to CEOs and management of various organisations on what should be the right interaction between government and business.
1.7 Scope of Study
This research will be undertaken at De-United Food Industry Limited (DUFIL), the producers of Indomie in Ado-Odo Otta, LGA. The study will therefore look at job satisfaction concepts and how they effect employee happiness at DUFIL.
1.8 Delimitation of the Study
Obtaining funding for general research projects will be difficult during the course of studies. Correspondents may also be unable or unwilling to complete and submit the questionnaires provided to them.
However, it is hoped that these limits will be addressed by making the best use of existing materials and devoting more time to study. As a result, it is strongly thought that despite these constraints, their impact on this research report will be small, allowing the study’s purpose and significance to be achieved.
1.9 Definition of Terms
Job satisfaction is a sense of fulfilment or delight that an employee gets from their job.
Employee performance refers to the job-related activities required of a worker and how well those activities were carried out.
