Dear Sri Pakki Narayana Murthy,

Thank you for your post and drawing attention to the LIS Links Community on a "much-cherished-yet-difficult- to-get"issue. Thank you once again. Job satisfaction is a great thing to achieve in any profession. It involves peace, happiness and appreciations. If one gets paid well but hate what he does but sticks to the service simply because the money it begets is rather painful. S/he does not have any mental inclination with the organization and the service s/he renders. Unless one feels closeness with the job s/he is involved with, it creates boredom and apathy which curbs efficiency and self respect. the ingredients which helps anybody to excel. If one gets a feeling that s/he is making some "Contribution" and which is appreciated and acknowledged, it springs up an urge to do even better. In that sense, job satisfaction has a very positive effect in one's professional career! A congenial working atmosphere, friendly colleagues, certain activities to exhibit one's ability, and relevancy of service for the benefit & upliftment of the organization and most importantly, the love and passion for what is being done constitutes a total package which can be called as job satisfaction as I see it. There are several parameters and indicators as well  varying from place to place but the joy and peace are the prerequisite for job satisfaction after all.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta

Thanks to Mr. Pakki Narayana Murthy for reflecting his views on Job Satisfaction.

I feel that a job satisfaction is an individual’s mental attitude; specifically it’s an involvement in his / her job atmosphere.

There are people who serve the society by answering individual’s queries, helping them to find relevant information and so... it doesn’t mean that they are satisfied.

Only involvement can do everything.. it means, keeping punctual, completing tasks on time, ready to spend time for others (students, staff, library professionals) etc…

There are other environments also play its role in job satisfaction like Salary, management, working hours and so on.

But, It’s true that job satisfaction helps to develop self-confident of an individual by planning and organizing and executing  his responsibilities / activities.
