As most people spend a major part of their adult life at work, job satisfaction is an important element of individual wellbeing. What factors contribute to job satisfaction? How realistic is the expectation of job satisfaction for all workers?

In modern society, there seems to be an increasing number of concern about job satisfaction.  What I would argue is that the self-fulfillment and promotion opportunities are responsible for job satisfaction.

In the past, individuals had no choice but to struggle hard to earn a living, due to the insufficiency of social productivity. However, this is no longer the case. Modern advanced technology has dramatically boosted economic development, and consequently improved the public’s living standards. As a result, nowadays, when seeking an occupation from the job market, one element that individuals will notice is the self-fulfillment, which means whether such potential job enables them to reach their value of life. If not, they might feel depressed and spiritless.

Moreover, the promotion opportunity also possesses a critical impact on the satisfaction of one’s occupation. For instance, several years ago, the artificial intelligence was so popular that tens of thousands of graduates devoted themselves to this field. However, lacking abilities in adapting to keen competition and quickly learning new technologies results in those graduates possessing few opportunities of promotion. Eventually, most of them ended up under the pressure of being sacked and replaced by youngers.

In conclusion, it is hard for most employees to seek a tailored and satisfactory job. This is because the interpersonal atmosphere in a workplace may not meet everyone’s personalized needs. Besides, the types of employees corporations truly are eager to hire are not those who obtained much theoretical knowledge from the colleges, but those who harbored the practical skills that could tackle specific problems.

In modern society, there seems to be an increasing concern about job satisfaction.  However, the discussion now focuses on how to raise employees’ satisfaction about occupation. What I believe is that a sense of accomplishment and promotion opportunities are responsible for job satisfaction.
