Job Satisfaction Analysis

The project was to conduct five surveys, one interview, and one media observation that dealt with job satisfaction in both real life and the media’s view. The project was used to see people in real life were really finding satisfaction in their jobs. It was used to show how the people who are satisfied with their job are also satisfied with their life, and are happier in general. This project helped me with my understanding of job satisfaction by showing me that you need to follow the things you love in life. It has also brought to my attention how real job satisfaction is in your positivity in life. For example I had my co-worker how is always happy and she was completely satisfied with everything. Then I had my other coworker who is not …show more content…
Before the interview I knew that she loved the people she works with. I knew that she also loves being an accountant because she gets to help people all around the world with their questions. The results from the interview made me realize that I only the bad news that my mom tells me about her work. I knew that she loved her job but I only remembered the times when she complained. This showed when I interviewed her and the answers were more positive than I thought they were going to be. The results from my interview were good. They were kind of similar to what I thought they were going to be. It showed me that my mom is satisfied with her job and the things she would change are minimalistic. The only thing that she would change is the location because it is an hour away, one way. My mom loves going to work because of her friends, the importance she feels by helping people, and because she gets to talk to people from different countries everyday. Like everyone else there are days where she doesn’t want to go to work because she is sick or because she knows her workload is going to be a crazy amount. One of the questions that I asked my mom was if she liked going to work, and she said yes because she gets to see her friends. Her response made me realize how it important it is to have friends where you work. Friends give you a sense of purpose and care while at work. Another question that I asked my mom was if she felt she had a sense of …show more content…
I think that all of my results were similar because job satisfaction is kind of a touchy subject. I don’t think anyone want to come straight out and say they don’t like their job, or that they were unhappy in life. The media on the other hand was more than willing to show how people can be uninterested in their work. One of my media observations showed how people can sometimes hate their job and that can affect their perception on life. When watching How to Get Away With Murder it really showed the effects stress can have on you and how if you don’t absolutely love being a lawyer than it is easy to crack under pressure. My other media observation on the other hand showed how the feeling of helping people or making an impact on the world can make a person love their work. Scorpion was the other source I used, and it was completely different. The characters in this show were willing to risk their lives to help save others while in How to Get Away With Murder the characters didn’t want to do anything that could possibly harm them. By observing this it shows me that when you love what you do you are more willing to take risks and help those around you. The results from my survey also hinted at this idea with the way certain people responded. One question that I asked was if overall people were satisfied with their job. Only 40% of the people
