The concept of jobsatisfaction was developed in many different ways by different researchers, but the definitionwhich is widely used is the definition of Locke (1976), who defines job satisfaction as apleasant or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of the colleagues or superior,and work environment or job experiences.
