2.2 THE CONCEPT OF JOB SATISFACTION
The selection and organization of task to make then suitable to the interest of an individual for creating better performance is called job design. Job design is not a new thing or idea, as evidence by the work of Charles Babbage and Fredrick W. Taylor, the only thing “new” to it is the idea that job satisfying or making them more efficient
Weiss (2002) has argued that job satisfaction is an attitude but points out that researcher should clearly distinguish the objects of cognitive evaluation which are affect (emotion), belief and behavior. This definition suggests that we from attitude towards our jobs by taking in to account our feelings, our behavior.
Hubber (2005) cited that job satisfaction as the degree to which employees favourably view their workers. Add that, the effort of managers to make work more interesting by redesigning the job.
Locke (2006) as cited that job satisfaction as “a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job or job experience”, that is, ‘it is the discrepancy between what an employee values and what this situation provides. Employee participates and job satisfaction. Historically, management theories have emphasized the importance of coordinating the organization human relationship to enhance productivity and develop human capital.
Robbins, (2008) cited that job satisfaction as the degree to which demand as employee or an individual general attitude towards his or her job. Job satisfaction is an attitude that people have about their jobs and the organization. Job satisfaction is defined as the extent to which people like or dislike their employee affecting reaction or job, based on a comparison between actual outcomes.
2.3 THE CONCEPT OF PRODUCTIVITY
An organization is productive only if it achieves its goals and objective, does 50 by transferring inputs to output at the possible lowest cost. As such productivity implies a concern for both effectiveness and efficiency. Productivity is a performance measure in encompassing both efficiency and effectiveness. It is important therefore to know who the productive workers are. High performing, effective organization have a culture that encourage employee involvement.
According to Miller and Morge (2006), job satisfaction increase productivity through bringing high quality motivation and through increasing working capabilities at time of implementation. There is evidence that participation climate as a more substantial effect of workers satisfaction then participation in specific decision an it appear that participation in goal setting does not have strong effect on productivity. Human resources policies that encourage workers involvement aim at providing incentives to expand discretionary effort and means to acquire the appropriate skills (Berg 1999).
Manager are having to improve their organization productivity and quality of product and service they offer, the more time worker have to themselves, the less the time they will have to be their work while the higher pays is also a function of high productivity.
