Opis

Several studies have been conducted to investigate the level of job satis­faction among employees within different types of organizations. A satisfied workforce leads to higher productivity because of fewer disruptions such as absenteeism, departure of good employees, and incidences of destructive behavior. Although extensive research has been done in this area, there are still some major controversies as to what are the real factors that contribute to workers satisfaction and dissatisfaction at the workplace. This book therefore describes the elements that contribute to job satisfaction and its relationship to organizational and religious commitment among workers in higher education. It is the expectation that the content of this book will help to provide an atmosphere within the organization that will enhance workers satisfaction and increase their level of commitment.
