How satisfied Are You With Your Job?


Take this free questionnaire to find out!

Job satisfaction is an area of complex research and theory. Herzberg proposes that
job satisfaction is composed of 2 elements, "hygeine factors" and "motivation"
factors. Hygeine factors are an essential component of job satisfaction and
insufficient attention to these will seriously undermine employee satisfaction with a
job.
Hygeine factors relate to base level, administrative factors such as pay, work
environment and other benefits or facilities associated with the job.

Motivation factors are more aligned with factors such as the degree of autonomy
and decision making capacity associated with a job. It also includes factors that
make jobs more intrinsically rewarding (i.e. interesting content, importance of the
work, conducive team environment, good leadership, relationships etc).

The short 15 item survey below covers both hygeine and motivation factors.

We will post results summaries (linked from this page) as data becomes available.

In responding to each of the 15 items below, rate each statement according to how
strongly you agree with them.

1 = Completely Disagree : 10 = Completely Agree

Interpreting Your Score

• > 130 = Working conditions are acceptable or better. You are highly
motivated and engaged in your work, with confidence that your contributions
to goals are significant and unique. You are likely to be a part of a highly
effective and cohesive team and have close professional friendships within
the work place, as well as more broadly in your field. Most days you are
"rarin' to go" to work. Don't forget the therapeutic benefits of some time off
now and again!

• 100 - 129 = Working conditions are acceptable or better. Your job is


rewarding and your contributions to goals are significant. For the most part,
you believe the team to be functioning effectively. Work is a positive aspect
of your life and you probably enjoy a high degree of camaraderie within the
team. You may want to explore strengthening unique areas of expertise to
increase your influence on work outcomes.

• 70 - 99 = Working conditions are acceptable. Your job is rewarding and your


contributions to goals are recognised. You may have a sense that you could
be replaced reasonably easily with someone else, if you "let the ball drop".
Work is "O.K.", but those weekends or days off look pretty good. You may
want to consider strengthening unique areas of expertise to increase your
influence on work outcomes. Do you signal (by your words and actions) that
you value opportunities to increase your influence on achieving positive work
outcomes?

• < 70 = Working conditions are probably between poor and just acceptable.
Your job priorities and methods are likely to be determined by someone else
and you may feel completely dispensable. Getting up on working days is a
chore and you are counting the days to better times or retirement. There are
many possible reasons (both external and particular to you as an individual)
that your job does not attract the autonomy you would like. Consider
upskilling, through training or seeking opportunities to diversify in the
workplace, and let management know if you feel ready for more
responsibility and autonomy. You may need to seek these opportunities with
another employer.
