WAYS TO REGAIN JOB SATISFACTION 2
Introduction
It is important to develop proper policies to deal with the human resources in the
organisation. The changing business environment requires an organisation to focus on
developing the satisfaction of the employees. In achieving the desired level of production the
management is required to motivate the employees to work effectively during the production
process. Employee dissatisfaction leads to reduced morale at the workplace as they are unhappy
with the working conditions. The unhappy employees tend to respond destructively to the job
dissatisfaction which negatively impacts the production level of the business. The focus on
developing the working conditions is essential in achieving the desired job satisfaction for the
employees (Jacobs, Yu & Chavez 2016). A continuous development of a business is attained
through consideration of employees needs at the workplace. The essay argues that employees act
in a destructive manner when unhappy thus important for an organisation to focus on regaining
employee satisfaction.

The performance appraisal is used by an organisation in determining the human resource
contribution to the achievement of the desired level of production. Proper staffing strategies are
required to be implemented to reduce the cases of job dissatisfaction in a business. The staffs
directly impact the performance of the organisation due to the involvement in the production
processes. Dissatisfied staffs act destructively in response to the working conditions which
reduces the competitiveness of an organisation in the targeted market. Proper analysis of the
employees' needs is used to deal with the issue of dissatisfaction in the business (Bardus et al.
2014). The management and staffs are required to focus on building a strong relationship that

will contribute to employee satisfaction in the market. The destructiveness of the unhappy staffs
makes it difficult for an organization to maximize production in the long run production process.
The human resource management is expected to evaluate the flow of the market in determining
the appropriate policy to implement in the organisation. Job satisfaction is required to develop
the self-esteem and confidence of employees for an increased production level of the businesses
(Yang et al. 2018). Self-esteem assists the staff in identifying the appropriate plan to implement
in dealing with the issue of dissatisfaction in the market. Market analysis by the human resource
management is used in developing a proper working environment which is better than
competitors in the market. The enhanced working conditions are used to deal with the
dissatisfaction of employees for the achievement of the desired level of production.
Employee empowerment is used to regain employee satisfaction in business. The
empowerment programs are used to reduce cases of unhappy employees who are destructive to
the flow of the company. The empowerment of employees requires an organization to allow staff
to have control of various operations in the business (Fernandez & Moldogaziev 2015). The
programs are used in increasing the commitment of employees towards the accomplishment of
personal and corporate targets of production. The staffs’ loyalty to the company is evident by
working towards the achievement of desired production level in the market. According to
Laschinger et al. (2014), proper evaluation of staffs needs and cultural background assist in
developing plans that will increase commitment in the market. The dissatisfaction of employees
has a low level of commitment in the organization which reduces the production of the business.
Proper evaluation of the workplace assists in developing plans that will increase the overall
performance of the employees for an increased performance in the market.

The empowerment programs are used in the decision-making process where the views of
staffs are considered in developing strategies for the company. The involvement of employees in
decision-making process assists in enhancing the production level due to a reduced level of
resistance in the market. The employee provides the management with ideas that will reduce the
cost of production and increase the productivity of the business (Allen, Lehmann-Willenbrock &
Sands 2016). The top management is expected to consider the views of the staffs in the decision
involving the production due to their extensive experience. The employees are highly involved in
production process thus important to consider their feedback on various policies implemented by
the company. The staffs feel valued when involved in the decision-making process of the
company. Staffs are able to develop plans that are beneficial to the business through the
consideration of the internal and external factors affecting production. Staffs embrace change
when there is increased involvement in the decision-making process making it possible to attain
the desired production level. Grant (2016) states that dynamic external business environment
requires the management to focus on increasing performance of employees through identifying
the challenges at the workplace. The human resources management is able to make a reasonable
decision through employee empowerment for an increased competitiveness of the organisation in
the targeted market.
Organisational restructuring is used to regain the job satisfaction in the market for an
increased market performance. The restructuring is used to continuously improve the operations
of the company for an increased motivation to the employees. The changes in the market require
an organisation to focus on a flexible staffing policy that will deal with issues in the market.
Proper evaluation of business environment assists the company to implement a proper
restructuring plan that will maximise operations in a specific industry (Turk 2017). The HRM is

required to consider the trends in the workplace to make the employees satisfied with their
production processes. The external business environment analysis is used in developing an
organisational structure that will provide a smooth flow of production in the market. The
restructuring process is required to be positive which focus on the promotion of employees rather
than firing employees. An organisation that implements an outdated organisational structure
makes it hard to motivate the staffs through job satisfaction (Slack, Corlett & Morris 2015). The
operational cost and processes are considered in developing the appropriate organisational
structure that will enhance production in the market.
The organisational restructuring requires a proper evaluation of function to add
departments that will assist employees to work effectively. According to Zhu (2015), the
business structure is used in determining the organisational culture implemented in the company.
It is necessary for a business to evaluate the organisational culture of the staff to ensure that there
is a continuous flow of operations in the market. The business is made efficient through
organisational restructuring which considers the changes in the industry. An organisation is
expected to perform a staff survey that will be used in determining the appropriate organisational
structure to implement in the market. The organisational structure used by a business is required
to provide a positive performance through an increased level of job satisfaction (Mellor, Hao &
Zhang 2014). The staffs are required to be provided with more control in the new organisational
structure for an improvement in production levels. The departments created are required to offer
guidance to the staffs for a steady flow of operations. The department is required to make the
employees stronger by building strong work relations that are aimed at acquiring the department
targets of production. The department cooperation is used in developing a sustainable
competitive edge in the market.

Training and development are used by the HRM to regain employee satisfaction at an
organisation. It is essential to focus on enhancement of staff skills and knowledge in dealing with
the various issues in the market. According to Bratton and Gold (2017), training and
development by an organisation provide staff with the necessary information for quality
production. An organisation is required to focus on innovation and technology use for a constant
flow of the business. The innovation of employees is used to develop new methods of production
that are cost effective. An innovative organisation is able to offer products and services that are
widely accepted in the targeted market. The HRM is required to focus on the right type of
training technique to improve the morale of employees (Miner 2015). The processes of training
are required to focus on developing the skills and knowledge of staffs for an enhanced
competitiveness of the company. The content of the training is required to focus on employee
satisfaction through the development of new techniques and procedures to deal with issues
facing the organisation. The leaders in the organisation are supposed to develop training and
development content that will assist staff to deliver standardised products to the consumers. The
focus on customer service training is vital in acquiring a continuous increase of the market share.
The dissatisfaction of employees is caused by the inability to effective performs the
assigned tasks by the management. Training and development in the organisation are used to
regain satisfaction to employees by handling the weaknesses at the workplace. The workplace
skills are required to provide information to effectively perform production functions. Hanaysha
(2016) state that strengthening of skills and knowledge is needed in acquiring a sustainable
competitive advantage in the market. Training is required to increase the capability of staffs to
perform duties without constant supervision from the management. According to Ford (2014),
training and developing structuring is used in providing consistency in production through the

understanding of policies in the company. The staffs should be exposed to information that will
assist to deliver on the set targets by the management. The employees are satisfied when the
company invests in training and development programs. The training programs are an indication
that the management is focused on developing a supportive workplace that will maximise
productivity in the industry.
The human resource management is required to focus on teamwork for an increased
employee satisfaction in the business. Teamwork is necessary for dealing with the issues facing
the organisation for a steady flow of operations (Hanaysha & Tahir 2016). The informal and
formal teams in an organisation should focus on increasing the productivity of the business.
There is an increased efficiency and communication at the workplace through the use of
teamwork in production. The management is required to develop a feasible common goal that the
team is required to meet during the production process. A proper evaluation of the market assists
the management in developing an attainable target that will improve the performance of staffs
(McDonald & Wilson 2016). The working environment is enhanced through the focus on
teamwork in production. HRM is required to use teams in dealing with challenges facing the
business in the market. Professional growth is achieved by a staff through teamwork at the
workplace where people are required to share ideas that will maximise production.
The assignment of complex tasks to an individual leads to job dissatisfaction which is
destructive for the business. The complex tasks are supposed to be assigned to teams to provide a
smooth flow of production in the market (Cordon, Mestre & Walliser 2017). Teamwork is
effective in sharing of ideas that will assist in handling a complex task that is assigned by the
management. According to Boughzala and De Vreede (2015), the collaboration in the team is
used in developing a plan that will deal with difficult tasks in the business. The teams are able to

develop a plan that is used in completing a particular project in the industry. It is important for
the team members to respect each other for a steady flow of production processes. Teamwork
cooperation and conflict resolutions are used to regain job satisfaction in the business.
Conclusion

advantage in the targeted market. Proper evaluation of staff needs assists in developing a proper
human resource policy that will deal with issues of dissatisfaction at the workplace. Flexible
staffing policies are used in making sure that the company is able to adapt to changes in the
