As the majority of adults spend most of their time at work, being content
with your career is a crucial part of a person’s health and happiness. This essay
will first discuss which elements lead to job satisfaction and it will then
address the question of how likely it is that everyone can be happy with their
job.
The two most important things that lead to someone being satisfied at work
are being treated with respect by managers and being compensated fairly. If
those more senior than you respect you as a person and the job you are doing
then you feel like you are valued. A fair salary and benefits are also
important considerations because if you feel you are being underpaid you will
either resent your bosses or look for another job. There two factors came top
of a recent job satisfaction survey conducted by Monster. com, that found that
72% of people were pleased with their current role if their superiors regularly
told them they were appreciated.
With regards to the question of happiness for all workers, I think this is and
always will be highly unlikely. The vast majority of people fail to reach their
goals and end up working in a post they don’t really care about in return for a
salary. This money is just enough to pay their living expenses which often
means they are trapped in a cycle of disenchantment. For example, The Times
recently reported that 89% of office workers would leave their jobs if they did
not need the money.
In conclusion, being satisfied with your trade or profession is an important
part of one’s wellbeing and respect from one’s colleagues and fair pay can
improve your level of happiness, however job satisfaction of all workers is an
unrealistic prospect.
