People Vs Jobs – Study made on Job satisfaction
Are people happy with their current jobs?
This is a question that mostly asked in corporate world
where the answer is still not understood. In my point of view the answer is Yes,
most of the people does not like what they are doing right now & they look
for a change & keep changing. In the western part of the world losing a job
or changing jobs is not a big deal where they do not worry about white color
jobs or status but focus on earning an income to survive. It is not a practical
thing in Sri Lankan context where people believe in permanent jobs & status
more than the financial income.
Rather than changing jobs frequently, it is more worthy to
find why people are unhappy with their current jobs. The following reasons are
some of the main points that employers need to focus on where they can retain
their employees in the organization.
Not Loving what they do
Most of the people are unhappy with their jobs because they are
not doing what they wants to do in life. This de-motivates them and leads to unsatisfactory.
Not the Right Job
Since all are looking for an income source most of the
people agree on what they get first & accept it as it is. They resist to
change because they think that if they change or resign their financial
stability will collapse & their reputation will end up. Continuing with disappointments
& regrets their satisfaction level falls daily.
Unhealthy competition at work
All of us likes to take the charge & lead others. When
people are working as teams & some other person performs more than you
& get the rewards or some other person acting unfairly to take benefits
that you deserves & being success, people get disgruntled & demotivates.
Sense of entitlement
Lots of people in new generation comes with a sense of
entitlement where they think that they deserve special treatments or attention
than others because they have more qualifications. When people do not get what
they expected, they start to criticize the organization & blame other colleagues
with dissatisfaction.
Employee Motivation
Most of the corporates do not motivate their employees where
people do not have any pride of their jobs and do not feel any loyalty towards
the organization. Human nature is to get appreciation & rewards what makes
them happy & motivated which will create loyalty.
Failing will lead to dissatisfaction & people will leave
such organizations.
It is important to understand why people are unhappy with
their jobs & need to find solutions for those rather than changing or
leaving organizations.

Agree with your discussion.Most people are not doing what they want to do or what they plan or dream to do.This leads to unsatisfied and less committed employees who never satisfied with their income.In Sri Lankan context this is because of lack of creating job opportunities in particular fields.Good job Jehan ...
