Answer the following case questions listed from chapter 9 of textbook. Textbook is Fundamentals of Management. 10th Edition. Author: Ricky W. Griffin

Case Questions 1. What about you? If you're employed, are you (rela- tively) satisfied or dissatisfied with your job? If you're not working (or haven't yet held down a job), focus on the areas in which you're satisfied or dissatisfied with what you are doing (e.g., going to school). 2. Next is a table listing 22 factors in job satisfaction in order of importance to the U.S. workers surveyed by The Conference Board. Create your own list of factors in order of their importance to you at this stage of your life. Be prepared to discuss the differences between your list and (1) the list below and (2) the lists drawn up by vari- ous classmates. 1. Growth potential 11. Quality of 2.

She performs well and gets positive feedback because she looks for solutions to problems rather than dwelling on the negative aspects of things. What do you think Megan should do? If you think that she should find another job, be prepared to explain why you think it's the best move. If you think that she should try to resolve her frustrations before looking for another job, explain the points that she should try to get across in con- versations with her boss.

But job dissatisfaction may remain entrenched until we see improvements in worker compensation, which has grown abysmally in recent years despite historically high corporate profits.\" Levanon is expressing an opinion and making a related prediction. Explain his opinion and his prediction in your own words. Do you agree or disagree with this opinion and prediction? In particular, do you expect things to get better economically? Whether you answer yes or no, how do you see your prospects for getting a job that you're satis- fied with
