Introduction

The week’s paper assignment is based on Chapter 3 of the textbook. Research examines 43 aspects of job satisfaction and 37 factors directly related to employee engagement. Among the topics explored are career development, relationships with management, compensation and benefits, work environment, engagement opinions, engagement behaviors, and conditions for engagement. The following is excerpt was obtained 10/29/16 via the Society for Human Resource Management website in reference to the publication “2016 Employee Job Satisfaction and Engagement: Revitalizing a Changing Workforce.”

Key findings from the report include the following results:

88% of U.S. employees reported overall satisfaction with their current job, marking the highest level of satisfaction over the last decade.

Based on a five-point scale, with 1 representing the least engaged and 5 representing the most engaged, U.S. employees were found to be moderately engaged (3.8); slightly higher than last year’s engagement index of 3.7.

2016’s leading job satisfaction contributors include respectful treatment of all employees at all levels, compensation/pay, benefits and job security.
