Effect of Motivation and Employee Engagement on Job Satisfaction

Whether workers like their jobs or specific aspects of their jobs, such as nature of the work or supervision, is measured by job satisfaction, employee satisfaction, or work satisfaction. There are three components to job satisfaction: cognitive, affective, and behavioral. In contrast to job satisfaction, employee engagement occurs when employees are motivated by deeper sources of motivation, such as the shared company vision or becoming the best at what they do. A motivated employee will have a greater job satisfaction, heightened performance, and a willingness to succeed, which benefits the company as a whole. In the similar manner, employee engagement leads to job satisfaction. Without employee engagement, employees are unlikely to be very satisfied at work.
