PREDICTORS OF JOB-SATISFACTION: A SURVEY OF DISTRICT EXECUTIVES IN NWFP PAKISTAN

Abstract

The management can control job-satisfaction of their workforce if they can successfully predict this attitude. Across the attitudinal research, satisfaction from pay, work, supervision, promotion, coworkers and environment are widely accepted as the major predictors of employees’ satisfaction. These factors of job satisfaction are thus hypothesized and tested as universal predictors of employees’ attitudes however they provide very domesticated results when applied in a particular situation or organizational setup. The researchers have used the same tools of prediction to measure the degrees of predictability emerging from these factors of job satisfaction among the District Executive Officers in NWFP, Pakistan.
