Implications for
Managers
Measure employee job attitudes objectively and
at regular intervals in order to determine how
employees are reacting to their work.
To raise employee satisfaction, evaluate the fit
between the employees work interests and the
intrinsic parts of his/her job to create work that is
challenging and interesting to the individual.
Consider the fact that high pay alone is unlikely
to create a satisfying work environment.
