Job Satisfaction in IT Industries: A Study of Selected IT Companies in NCR

Abstract

A major part of man's life is spent in work which is a social reality and social expectation to which man seems to confirm. Even then only economic motive has never satisfied men. It is always of greater interest to know why men work and at which level and how he/she satisfied with the job. Hoppock (1999) noted that job satisfaction depends upon the extent to which the job, we hold meets the needs that we feel it should meet. The degree of satisfaction is determined by the ratio between what we have and what we want. By law of nature as we have more, we want more hence the level of satisfaction remains less. Job satisfaction is dynamic, as it can go as quickly as it comes. It is a positive emotional state that occurs when a person's job seems to fulfil important values, provided these values are compatible with one's needs. Job satisfaction is a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one's job experience. In short, job satisfaction is a synchronization of what an organization requires of its employees and what the employees are seeking of the organization.
