While for many years there
has been much research into job satisfaction, and more recently, an
interest has arisen into the broader concepts of stress and subjective
well-being, the precise nature of the relationship between these
concepts has still been little explored. Stress at work is often
considered in isolation wherein it is assessed on the basis that
attention to an individual’s stress management skills or sources of
stress will prove to provide a good enough basis for effective
intervention. Alternatively, job motivation may be assessed, so that
action can be taken which will enhance an individual’s performance.
Somewhere in all this, there is often an awareness of the greater
context. Whereupon the home-work context is considered, for example, and
other factors such as an individuals personal characteristics and
broader economic or cultural climate, might be seen as relevant. In this
context, subjective well-being is seen as drawing upon both work and
non-work aspects of life.
Sirgy, Efraty, Siegal, & Lee (2001) suggested that the key factors in quality of working life are
o Need satisfaction based on job requirement
o Need satisfaction based on work environment
o Need satisfaction based on supervisory behavior
o Need satisfaction based on ancillary programmes
o Organizational commitment
They
defined quality of working life as satisfaction of these key needs
through resources, activities and outcomes stemming from participation
in the workplace. Needs as defined by psychologist, Abraham Maslow, were
seen as relevant in understanding this model, covering health and
safety, economic and family, social, esteem actualization, knowledge and
aesthetics, although the relevance of non-work aspects is play down as
attention is focused on quality of work like rather than the broader
concept of quality of life.
The distinction made between job
satisfaction and dissatisfaction in quality of working life reflects the
influence of job satisfaction theories. Herzberg et al., (1959) used
“Hygiene factors†and “motivator factors†to distinguish between the
separate cause
