Job Satisfaction in a Pandemic World

        Consider all of the facts you have (hopefully) learned thus far in this course. In addition to the concepts and theories covered in your readings/videos/lectures, remember that there are roughly four million people that quit their jobs each month, 60 percent of employees report being dissatisfied, and somewhere between ten and twenty percent of employees might actively be trying to sink your organizational ship (maritime pun intended). Utilize your research skills to develop a paper that identifies a current trend in job satisfaction, and outline how companies are addressing the issue during the pandemic. The trend/topic you pick is up to you as the researcher, but it must be a job satisfaction concept that deals with the topic during the pandemic. Remember to state your theses and include academic (peer-reviewed journal articles, not random internet websites). A friendly hint is that there are some good ideas about where to start in the videos from each of the weekly modules. Please write a paper that has sections and transitional paragraphs, this is not a homework assignment where you are copy/pasting the questions and then writing a paragraph or two in response. As a reminder, the concepts that your paper should address are: • What is job satisfaction? • What are values, and how do they affect job satisfaction? • What specific facets do employees consider when evaluating their job satisfaction? • Which job characteristics can create a sense of satisfaction with the work itself? • How is job satisfaction affected by day-to-day events? • How does job satisfaction affect job performance and organizational commitment? How does it affect life satisfaction? • What steps can organizations take to assess and manage job satisfaction? • How are companies addressing job satisfaction during the pandemic?
