Satisfaction

Satisfaction refers to a state of contentment in which one's perceived needs have been met. Satisfaction can be conceptualised as the congruence between a person and his/her social environment (Tessema, Ready & Yu, 2012). Satisfaction is a construct that has been widely researched in part due to its correlation with a work productivity (Edwards, 2009 ), quality of work life, contentment with one’s job or profession, and general life satisfaction (Zelenski, Murphy, & Jenkins, 2008 ).
