    Job satisfaction can impact employee turnover and absenteeism. There are two views on the relationship between satisfaction and performance - satisfaction may be the effect rather than the cause of performance, or both could be functions of rewards. Each employee desires recognition, meaningful work, job security, good pay and benefits, advancement opportunities, fair treatment, good working conditions, and competent leadership. While organizational rewards influence satisfaction, it is primarily determined by less controllable factors. High satisfaction can increase organizational commitment, while low satisfaction may lead to detrimental behaviors.

    2.1 WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF JOB SATISFACTION?

    Many managers subscribe to the belief that a satisfied worker is necessarily good worker.
    In other words, if management could keep the entire workers happy, good performance
    would automatically fallow. There are two propositions concerning the satisfaction
    performance relation ship. The first proposition, which is based on traditional view, is
    that satisfaction is the effect rather than the cause of performance. This proposition says
    that efforts in a job leads to rewards, which results in a certain level of satisfaction .in
    another proposition, both satisfaction and performance are considered to be functions of
    rewards.
    Various research studies indicate that to a certain extent job satisfaction affects employee
    turn over, and consequently organization can gain from lower turn over in terms of lower
    hiring and training costs. Also research has shown an inverse relation between job
    satisfaction and absenteeism. When job satisfaction is high there would be low
    absenteeism, but when job satisfaction is low, it is more likely to lead a high absenteei
    What job satisfaction people need?
    Each employee wants:
    1. Recognition as an individual
    2. Meaningful task
    3. An opportunity to do something worthwhile.
    4. Job security for himself and his family
    5. Good wages
    6. Adequate benefits
    7. Opportunity to advance
    8. No arbitrary action- a voice a matters affecting him
    9. Satisfactory working conditions

    10. Competence leadership- bosses whom he can admire and respect as persons
    and as bosses.

    However, the two concepts are interrelated in that job satisfaction can contribute to
    morale and morale can contribute to job satisfaction.
    It must be remembered that satisfaction and motivation are not synonyms. Motivation is a
    drive to perform, where as satisfaction reflects the individuals attitude towards the
    situation. The factors that determine whether individual is adequately satisfied with the
    job differs from those that determine whether he or she is motivated. the level of job
    satisfaction is largely determined by the comfits offered by the environment and the
    situation . Motivation, on the other hand is largely determine by value of reward and their
    dependence on performance. The result of high job satisfaction is increased commitment
    to the organization, which may or may not result in better performance.
    A wide range of factors affects an individuals level of satisfaction. While organizational
    rewards can and do have an impact, job satisfaction is primarily determine by factors that
    are usually not directly controlled by the organization. a high level of job satisfaction lead
    to organizational commitment, while a low level, or dissatisfaction, result in a behavior
    detrimental to the organization. For example, employee who like their jobs, supervisors,
    and the factors related to the job will probably be loyal and devoted. People will work
    harder and derive satisfaction if they are given the freedom to make their own decisions.
