Job satisfaction In modern society, most of adults work to put the bread on the table. Apparently, working serves a special and vital purpose in their lives. For this reason, more and more working people start to keep an eye on their job satisfaction. From my point of view, working environment, job perspective and overall compensation make up the key three elements of job satisfaction. Working environment is definitely of first priority. Whether the office is clean and bright and whether colleagues are nice or not are all very important to one’s working mood. With good emotions, they can perform better. Another aspect is the leader. One of my friends left her previous work because her boss put a lot of pressure on her and abused her publicly when she made a mistake, which made her always feel unhappy and at last even does not want to step into the office at all. Finally, she left and got relieved. With great working environment, one may not be satisfied if the job cannot give him more than that. I believe every working person want personal and social skills to get improved through working, which could be used as a precious asset in their future. In return, this improvement can give them not only self-satisfaction but also the opportunities to upper positions, which mean more salary or a wider and brighter space. As for me, a person who have worked two years in financial industry, I always have no faith in my current job for the job content plays a ceiling in my way and I could not see my bright future. So I am doing my best to seek a change. Apart from the above, the last on but not the least one is compensation jobs can offer. Except from jobs, people have other pursuits like eating, leisure, entertainment and education. But these activities are no free. So people need to get a good and comparative salary to afford other needs. With more pay, they can live better and work more willingly. Different workers will have different expectations for job satisfaction. I believe this expectation is realistic. As a fact, some jobs are very cozy but pay a little and others may compensate extremely high but cannot offer nice working environment. Like an impossible trinity, people could face choosing problems and even may compromise what they value least. Everyone must pursue a balance and be realistic to expect a relatively level of satisfaction for this is the only way to “survive” in this world, full of competition.
