Literature Review The meaning of job satisfaction and attractiveness for studiesIt is pertinent that the meaning of job satisfaction be reviewed. The definition of job satisfaction can simply be the extent to which employees enjoy their jobs (Agho et al. 1993, p. 1007). Another definition, emphasizing the term "job satisfaction" which includes both positive and negative sides, refers to the extent to which employees like or dislike their jobs (Spector, 1997, p. 2). In this case, the term "job satisfaction" includes "job satisfaction" which is defined as a pleasant emotional state resulting from viewing work as contributing to one's job values, and "job dissatisfaction" as reference to an unpleasant emotional state due to a negative evaluation of jobs (Locke, 1969, p. 316). It is important to note that, according to Spector (1997, p. 2), job satisfaction is related to how people feel about their job as a whole and its different aspects. However, it should be noted that operational definitions measuring overall job satisfaction based on the measurement of different aspects of jobs are inappropriate (Wanous & Lawlers, 1972).
