A Study on the Satisfaction at the Workplace
A Study on the Satisfaction at the Workplace

Summary/Abstract: The professional satisfaction is a multidimensional concept, generating countless research in certain branches of psychology, in the human resource management, and in performance management, and studying the relationship between the professional satisfaction and the performance in the workplace has a longstanding research tradition in the industrial and organisational psychology. In a synthetic presentation following the performed studies, some researchers reached the conclusion that the satisfaction is associated to the performance, effort, commitment and intention, and others suggested that the type of reward used by the employers has a strong influence over the performance-professional satisfaction relation. The contemporary man dedicates a vast part of his life to exercising their profession, and the work satisfaction becomes a very important aspect of the professional activity, with extensive consequences, both on the personal, and on the organisational level. Thus, the work satisfaction is an indicator that each employee relates to the organisation through. It can be influenced by individual factors - age, training level, qualification level, seniority in the organisation, climate - organisational policies, work conditions, concern for improving the working conditions or personality factors. In the context hereinabove, this study was performed to investigate both the employees’ perceptions on the work satisfaction, and the relation between the recorded performance and the satisfaction at the workplace. The used researched method is the survey, and the research instruments consist of the questionnaires. In accordance with the purpose, objectives and proposed hypotheses for this study, we opted for a double research approach: both a qualitative approach, and a quantitative approach.
