Satisfaction with prospects Clarke (1998) found that one’s perceived chance for promotion, and continued employment can influence job satisfaction, especially in women. The threat of being laid off could cause persons to feel uncomfortable thinking about possibilities for getting another job. Thus, perceived job security and work prospects are important for job
