There are many factors that affect job satisfaction and that what makes employees happy with their jobs varies from one person to another and from day to day. Job satisfaction is also influenced by the
employee's personal characteristics, the manager's personal characteristics and management style, and the nature of the work itself. Managers who want to maintain a high level of job satisfaction in the work force must try to understand the needs of each member of the work force. For example, when creating work teams, managers can enhance worker satisfaction by placing people with similar backgrounds, experiences, or needs in the same workgroup. Also, managers can enhance job satisfaction by carefully matching workers with the type of work. For example, a person who does not pay attention to detail would hardly make a good inspector, and a shy worker is unlikely to be a good salesperson. As much as possible, managers should match job tasks to employees' personalities.

"Find meaning in your work, even if your job is un-challenging, or boring,
finding meaning will make it much more bearable, if indeed that is how you feel.(that
your work is unbearable)

There are three levels of meaning that we as teachers can obtain from our work.

1. No meaning. Work makes no sense to you

2. Work has meaning because it supports you and your family

3. Work has meaning in itself because you are contributing to something great or
you are making the world a better place.

The important thing here is that to some of us, work has no meaning, or that the job
they do has no meaning (to them). The difference is that some people understand the
meaning of their work, and sadly some don't."

"The word mistake was born with Adam and Eve who ate the fruit Apple though the Almighty had forbidden them to do so. We are all HUMAN.. WE MAKE MISTAKE! Human beings are prone to error, because of arrogance, envy, and pride.

These three keep one tightly bound within illusion.
When one is tightly bound within illusion, one falls prey to ignorance.

If one were to become a "true human being", illusion and ignorance would become discarded relics that were once contained within ones 'past'.

Ignorance and illusion cause a human being to utilize poor judgment, which in turn leads one to make unnecessary errors and mistakes.

Excessive desires is a powerful magnet that draws one towards ignorance and illusion"

Find the 3 Ingredients to Job Satisfaction
 
Far too many people toil away in jobs that leave them dissatisfied. To avoid — or remedy — an unhappy job situation, find a position that allows you to do three things:

What you like to do. If what you enjoy doing most is useful, it ought to be part of your career.
What you do best. Many people spend years trying to improve areas of weakness. Focus your energy on mastering what you're good at.

What is valuable to the organization. Figure out how your particular strengths can be used to better your company, unit, or team. A sense of contribution will make you feel more engaged.

If your current role doesn't fulfill all three, talk with your manager about changing some of your responsibilities. If there is a real mismatch, consider switching organizations or careers.
