JOB SATISFACTION OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE EMPLOYEES:

A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Context and Rationale

Why employees leave or intend to leave current job is the


dilemma faced by almost every organization, especially because
they succeed in adapting to changing market forces to retain key
employees.

Satisfaction at work is one of the most studied


organizational variables and many studies show that it is
extremely important for organizations. Closely related to work
motivation and performance, satisfaction is an important factor
for many attitudes such as absenteeism or intention to resign. It
has been defined as a pleasurable emotional state resulting from
the appraisal of one’s job; an affective reaction to one’s job;
and an attitude towards one’s job. We can argue that job
satisfaction is an attitude but researchers should clearly
distinguish the objects of cognitive evaluation which are affect
emotions, beliefs and behaviors.

Job satisfaction is not the same as motivation, although it


is clearly linked. Job design aims to enhance job satisfaction
and performance; methods include job rotation, job enlargement
and job enrichment. Other influences on satisfaction include the
management style and culture, employee involvement, empowerment
and autonomous work position.

The aims of this study are to measure the degree of job


satisfaction of public and private employees in Bongabon, Nueva
Ecija and to analyze the differences between the two sectors.
