MGMT 304 - Organizational Behavior Assignment 2 (Individual) - Maximum marks 5 Due Date: Tuesday 31st January 2023 Job Satisfaction: Does It Differ Across Cultures? Evidence shows that job satisfaction levels in the United States are dropping. The Conference Board, which surveys large numbers of workers every year, reports the following percentages of individuals reporting that they are at least moderately satisfied with their jobs: 61 percent in 1987; 59 percent in 1995; 51 percent in 2000; 52 percent in 2005; and 45 percent in 2009. What are the strongest areas of dissatisfaction? Only one in five employees are satisfied with their company's promotions and bonus plans. Surprisingly, satisfaction has dropped the most among those making the highest incomes, although they still have somewhat higher satisfaction than those with relatively low earnings. Even though US workers remain relatively satisfied with their jobs, especially compared with employees in other countries, this doesn't explain why job satisfaction levels are dropping. One reason may be that in their drive to increase productivity, many companies continue to downsize, leaving the remaining workers overburdened. Downsizing also lowers the morale of layoff survivors. On the other hand, evidence shows that employees in the Arab world have higher percentages of job satisfaction. A study conducted in the countries of the GCC (UAE, KSA, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain), Levant (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan), and North Africa (Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia) resulted in 13,376 respondents. Although there was overall satisfaction with authority and responsibilities at work as well as the work environment, about two in five of the respondents are not satisfied with the level of job security and compensation and benefits. However, satisfaction with physical work conditions and working space in most of the countries is good. Let's look at some of the most important statistics. Overall, between 75 and 85 percent of people in each country said that were 'very satisfied or 'satisfied' with the responsibilities at work. The results to the question about being satisfied with flexibility of work schedules were also quite consistent across all the countries, ranging between 41 and 48 percent. Interpersonal relations with fellow workers gave high outcomes on the scale of very satisfied and satisfied, with Oman with the highest at 84 percent. Sources: Based on K.
