Improving employee satisfaction should include short-form questionnaires that are distributed to the workforce and returned to gain an idea of how satisfying employees are with aspects of their work and how it can be improved. Sample questions would include, on a scale from very dissatisfied, dissatisfied, neutral, satisfied, to very satisfied:: > The chance to do different things from time to time; > The way my boss handles subordinates; > The competence of my supervisor in making decisions; > The way my job provides for steady employment; > The chance to do things for other people; > The chance to tell people what I do; > The chance to do something that makes use of my abilities; > The way company policies are put into practice; > My pay and the amount of work I do; > The chances for advancement for this job; > The freedom to use my own judgment; > The working conditions; > The way my co-workers get along with each other; > The praise I get for doing a good job; > The feeling of accomplishment I get from my job

Job satisfaction is referred to as the "degree of pleasure an employee derives from his or her job" by which there are two levels of job satisfaction through global job satisfaction (overall attitude about a job) and job facet satisfaction (attitudes about certain aspects of a job).: The degree of job satisfaction is highly correlated to job performance, in that "ideally we would like to be both productive and happy in our work", however, attempts to increase productivity may in fact decrease job satisfaction. This goes hand-in-hand with turnover and absence, in that "turnover and absence are often referred to as withdrawal behavior because they reflect the employee withdrawing from a noxious employment condition, either temporarily (absence) or permanently (turnover)". The satisfaction in life is also correlated to job satisfaction. There are several variables to account for when looking at employee satisfaction.

There are five critical concepts of motivation as it relates to work. These five critical concepts include:: > Behavior - an action from which we understand motivation; > Performance - an assessment of the behavior; > Ability - our capacity to perform the behavior (what can be done); > Situational constraints - environmental conditions and factors that either enable or disable our behavior (what is allowed to be done); > Motivation - forces within and beyond an individual’s being (what will be done)
