Nowadays many adults have full-time jobs and the proportion of their lives spent doing such jobs is very high. So feelings about one’s job must reflect how an individual feels about his or her life as a whole, and because of this, job satisfaction is indeed very important for the wellbeing of that person.
Employees get job satisfaction in a number of ways. Firstly, a person needs to feel that they are doing valued and valuable work, so positive feedback from superiors is very important in this respect. A sense of fulfillment is also encouraged if a worker feels the job is worth doing because it contributes to the society or the economy as a whole. Secondly, when someone feels they are improving or developing their skills through training opportunities, for example, then there is a sense of progression and purpose that rewards a worker. The sense of belonging to a team or a working community also contributes to job satisfaction because colleagues help each other to enjoy their working lives. Satisfaction is also increased by a sense of responsibility for and loyalty to a team.
Of course not everyone enjoys their work. Hard economic realities mean that many people have little choice in the kind of job they can get. In some cases an employee is working in a job that suits neither their skills nor their personality. Some jobs are repetitive and boring, and labour relations may be poor and lead to resentment and insecurity rather than to job satisfaction.
However, even though it is unlikely that all workers do feel happy in their work, I think it is not unrealistic to promote more job satisfaction in any job. If the factors identified above are implemented, then any job can be improved and more workers can feel greater degrees of job satisfaction.

现代社会中,很多成年人都拥有一份全职工作,并花费大量时间在其工作上。因此,个人对其工作的看法体现了对其生活的整体感觉。正基于此,工作满意度是影响一个人幸福感的重要因素。
员工们可以在很多方面获得工作满意度,首先,员工们需要感觉到他们所从事的工作是有价值的,因此来自上司的正面反馈显得十分重要。当员工意识到这份工作的价值时,也会产生一种成就感,毕竟这份工作为整个社会和经济发展做出了贡献。其次,通过一些职业培训活动后,当员工发现自己的工作技能有所提高后,也会自然而然的获得一种进步感和方向感。在同一个团队或一个工作群体的归属感也有助于员工工作满意度的提升,原因在于同事们相互帮助,使得职场生活更加融洽。反之,员工对集体的责任感和忠诚度也能增加他们的工作满意度。
