Employee Contribution versus Satisfaction

All organizations are trying to achieve success, which is organizational goals and objectives. To achieve the goals and targets, the organization needs to stay competitive in the respective industry or market. For that, an organization needs willing and able employees who can perform at the highest level.
Such employees consist of several individuals who are having a unique path towards a personal goal (White, 2018). Therefore, they will have a concern on their personal values, career aspirations, personal interests and work life needs over the organizational well-being (White, 2018). However, at the end of the day, all employees are looking for the maximum satisfaction over their work (White, 2018).
 Accordingly, both an organization and its employees are on paths of their own towards pursuing the definition of success (White, 2018). Most importantly these are not parallel paths but intersect at some point, daily which is of course at the work place as illustrated in figure 1.

Even though the paths of the organization and its’ employees towards pursuing their own goals are vice versa, there is an ‘APEX’ point where it intersect (figure 1.0). It is a lesser number compared to the total no. of staff in any organization; yet, employees falling to this category are the ones who are fully engaged. They contribute to the organization at the maximum level and possibly they are getting back the maximum satisfaction as well.

Accordingly, it is visible that there is a positive correlation between the employees who are contributing at the maximum level and the employee satisfaction. Therefore, employee satisfaction can be identified as a measure of how happy the workers are with the current job and the working environment. In other words, employee satisfaction is the terminology used to describe whether employees are happy, contended and fulfilling their desires and needs at work and also a measure of a factor in employee motivation, employee goal achievement and positive employee morale in the work place (Sageer, Rafat & Agarwal, 2012).
