Abstract

Job satisfaction can be described as the evaluation of person’s job and his company as contributing suitably to the attainment of one’s personal objectives. The job satisfaction and dissatisfaction depends on the nature of job and also on the expectation from their job. Therefore, it is a function of the intended and actual performance and the perceived discrepancy. The concept of job satisfaction can be defined as the difference between the quantum of rewards received by employees and the amount they believe they should receive. The main objective of this study is to explain different dimensions of job satisfaction on the basis of a systematic review. This review study was accomplished through a broad and extensive review of literature. A total of 26 articles/research papers were reviewed.
