JOB DISSATISFACTION
What Is Job Dissatisfaction?
Job dissatisfaction is when an employee does not feel content in their job.
This can be due to various professional and personal reasons such as lack
of advancement, poor management, limited work-life balance, and more.
What Causes Job Dissatisfaction?

Work takes up a significant percentage of one’s life, and people have
expectations of what their job should be like. When these expectations are
not met, it brings feelings of disappointment, bitterness, and lack of
interest, leading to job dissatisfaction.
Job dissatisfaction can grow from a variety of reasons, like:

Being underpaid
Having an unsupportive or untrustworthy boss
Limited career growth at an organization
Lack of meaning behind a role
Lack of work-life balance
Poor management
What Happens When Workers Are Not Satisfied?

-When workers are not satisfied, this can compel them to find job
opportunities elsewhere.
Others may choose to stay and remain unhappy. This might be due to fear
of change, lack of updated skills, or an unwillingness to let go of certain
benefits (their current pay, healthcare, retirement plan, etc.).
Employee Response to Job Dissatisfaction
Employee response to job dissatisfaction can be broken down into

four categories:
1.Exit: The exit response is when employees leave an organization or

transfer to a different department to get away from their unhappy situation.
2.Voice: Employees who fall in the voice category would speak up about
their negative experience to management and provide recommendations
on improving. This is considered the most constructive approach to job
dissatisfaction.
3.Loyalty: Those who respond with loyalty will not take any action. They
will simply stay at their job with the hope that changes will one day be
made.
4.Neglect: Workers who respond with neglect perform their job duties
poorly rather than actively seeking to improve their situation. They might
call in sick frequently, submit lackluster work, and be unresponsive in
messages/emails.
Job Dissatisfaction Effects
1. Lack of Interest
Texting friends, browsing through social media, or simply staring at the
ceiling can illustrate a lack of interest in one’s work. One of the early signs
of job dissatisfaction, disinterest progressively grows worse over time and
can impact work performance.
2. Procrastination
A lack of interest can drive employees to procrastinate. People who

procrastinate generally:
Wait until the last minute to complete a task

Make excuses for not working on projects earlier
Fail to put sufficient organization and thought into their work due to their
limited time working on it
3. Irritability
Though every job carries its own set of stressful moments, if employees
are constantly stressed out and in an irritable mood, this only makes job
dissatisfaction worse. Irritability not only adversely affects one’s mental
health, but it also affects their colleagues around them.
4. Frequent Absences
When people aren’t happy with their jobs, they don’t want to carry out their
responsibilities. Thus, they have a tendency to call in sick frequently.
Frequent absences show an employee is unengaged and uncommitted to
their work.
5. Lack of Effort
When an employee isn’t fully investing their expertise and talents into their
position, this is a sign they are not content. People who are satisfied with
their jobs generally have more zeal to succeed in their roles.
How Do You Overcome Job Dissatisfaction?
Overcoming job dissatisfaction requires tapping into employee issues and
enhancing their experience. There are a number of ways your team can
boost employee experience:
1.Provide recognition:
Celebrate milestones and praise employees for their hard work during
company meetings.
2. Provide training and mentoring:

Mentoring can provide an opportunity for employees to train well in their
roles, be given candid yet caring feedback, and be offered tips on climbing
the ladder.
3. Listening and responding:

We mentioned earlier that the most constructive response an employee
can take to job dissatisfaction is to be vocal and bring up their concerns to
management. Accordingly, managers can respond positively to that
feedback. It will help if the employee feels heard and if management takes
steps to address the needs that aren’t being met.
