Book Description
One of the fastest growing workforces in the present work environment is the group of information technology (IT) professionals. Highly demanding and competitive work environment have led to relatively higher job stress among IT professionals and also higher job turnover compared to other professions. In some countries, there has been a period of severe crisis with a severe shortage of IT manpower and high turnover of existing trained IT professionals. A turnover of IT personnel is costly, not only in terms of replacing staff and training new employees, but also in terms of system development productivity and quality. Past studies have indicated that job satisfaction positively affects employee working performance and organizational commitment, and negatively influences employee turnover. Calls have been made for a better understanding of issues pertaining to IT personnel, their work context and the forces that affect the growth and decline of IT human capital. As IT professionals become vital in leapfrogging a country such as Malaysia into a developed nation, the stable transformation of the existing workforce towards knowledge workers emphasizes the importance of having satisfied employees. Studies that look into this issue are scarce in the context of Malaysia. Thus, the purpose of this research is to fill the gap by examining the level of job satisfaction among IT personnel in Malaysia and the factors that affect their job satisfaction. A quantitative approach is adopted and a total of 211 responses were collected. The findings of the study indicate that IT personnel working in the IT industry, particularly, is satisfied with their job and has no intention to resign. The study found work environment stress, Job Characteristics, perceived motivation and personality traits are significant predictors of job satisfaction. These findings would be useful to organizations, particularly the Human Resource departments, in guiding them with their IT staff development and retention programs.

Book Description
In this era of frequent corporate restructuring and rapid technological change, successful companies must have employees who are open to innovation and to changing roles, and are able to work together productively. Research shows that employees most likely to be adaptable, cooperative, and productive are those who are satisfied with their jobs. Therefore, it is essential that leaders of American business understand how to enhance job satisfaction within their organizations. In Job Satisfaction, top academic researchers in the field share state-of-the-art information on creating job satisfaction, its resulting benefits, and the risks of having too many employees who are dissatisfied with their jobs. As they show, job satisfaction is also an extremely useful predictor for management. An employee's level of job satisfaction is the single most important piece of data a manager or organizational psychologist can have to predict an employee's rate of absenteeism, decision to resign or retire, desire for union representation, or level of psychological withdrawal. Before they can enhance job satisfaction, managers must understand its components. Research demonstrates that an employee's level of satisfaction is based not only on events in the present and past, but also on his perceptions of the future. Foreseeing future opportunities for advancement, for increased pay, for participation in decision-making, or for networking lead to a high level of job satisfaction. In fact, the authors reveal, perceiving future opportunity can actually be more motivating than actually receiving a raise, getting promoted, or being given additional responsibilities. Job Satisfaction dispels the notion that jobstress necessarily leads to dissatisfaction, and shows how an organization should focus on increasing satisfaction rather than just reducing stress. It is especially important for managers to stimulate job satisfaction by improving their employees' sense of achievement through making tasks and their objectives clear, as well as giving feedback. Academics and managers alike will find Job Satisfaction a source of new and useful information for understanding and enhancing satisfaction on the job.
