Summary: | Job satisfaction ( JS ) of individuals is one of the major concerns of most organisations as it
has impact on the behaviours and attitudes of their employees, which in tum affect
organisations' effectiveness. The purpose of the study is to survey the JS level of human
resource ( HR ) personnel in a few sectors of the economy, namely the commercial, finance,
manufacturing and transportation sectors. It aims to determine the factors that are associated
with JS and to make recommendations as to how JS can be further enhanced. Data was
gathered by distributing anonymous questionnaires by mail, to seventy HR personnel.
Correlation and multiple regression were used in the analysis of the data. Based on the
information collected, it was found that for HR assistants, majority of them ( approximately
63% ) were satisfied with their jobs. To further enhance their JS level, it was recommended
that organisations should not overload them but seek temporary help to ease their workload.
Besides, organisations should also provide opportunities for them to voice out their grievances,
a clean working environment, increase their pay, give them tasks that can utilise their potential
to a large extent and sensitivity training for their supervisors in order to better understand HR
assistants. As for HR officers, approximately 70% of them indicated that they were
indifferent towards their jobs. As most of them were dissatisfied with their orientation
programmes and pay, it was recommended that organisations should further improve their
orientation programmes and adjust their pay to reflect both internal and external equity. Lastly, according to the survey, it was found that approximately 60% of the HR managers
were satisfied with their jobs. As they have high growth needs, it is recommended that
organisations should provide opportunities for advancement and career development. In
addition, organisations should also give them more challenging work which allow greater
utilisation of their capabilities, and some of the administrative tasks could be assigned to the
HR officers and assistants. Also, their supervisors should also adopt a more participative
leadership style. |
