Job Satisfaction

Introduction

Everyone of us possesses set of `expectations ' and `needs we have some general information about the classification of our needs and how they may exist among workers in different industries , by different professions , and at different levels in an organization (Harris 219 According to Harris , to effectively use needs as techniques for motivation , placement , and best performance , we must identify the specific needs of each individual because needs do

change , the urgencies of an individual 's needs must be constantly monitored

An individual 's generalized belief about internal (self ) versus external (situation or others ) control is called locus of control people who think they have authority over what ensue to them are said to have `internal-locus-of-control , while people who consider that conditions or other people direct their destiny have `external-locus-of-control (qtd . in Nelson et .al 85 .
