Worf, 1970; Conrad et al., 1985) According to Vroom (1964), job satisfaction is a state in which workers are clearly oriented towards work in the organization Weiss (1967) defined job satisfaction as the attitude of work expressed by the worker's perceptions, beliefs and behaviors J.P Wanous and E.E Lawler (1972) mentions job satisfaction is the amount of job facet satisfaction through all aspects of occupation Locke (1976) argues that job satisfaction is understood to mean that workers are really interested in their work Quinn and Staines (1979) argue that job satisfaction is a positive response to work C.R.Reilly (1991) describes job satisfaction as the feeling that an employee has about his job or a general attitude towards work and it is shaped by the awareness of one’s job Spector (1997) refers to job satisfaction regarding of how people feel about their jobs and diverse aspects of their jobs Due it is a conventional judgment, it is an attitude variable Dormann and Zapf (2001) define job satisfaction as the most interesting attitude toward leaders and leaders Ellickson and Logsdon (2002) support this view by defining job satisfaction as the extent to which employees like their work To put it simply, the more the working environment that meets the demands, values and personality of employees, the higher the level of job satisfaction Definition of level of satisfaction with job satisfaction components: One of the first definitions of job satisfaction and most cited is Robert Hoppock's definition (1935, cited by Scott et al., 1960) He defined employee job satisfaction as any combination of psychological, physiological and environmental conditions that make employees straightforwardly to state “I am satisfied with my job” The author said that job satisfaction measurement has two major ways: (a) measure job satisfaction in general and (b) measure job satisfaction in different aspects relating to work He also said that job satisfaction in common is not only a total satisfaction of various aspects, but also can be viewed as a particular variable generally Schermerhorn (1993, cited by Luddy, 2005) defines job satisfaction as emotional and emotional responses to various aspects work The author emphasizes the reasons for job satisfaction including position, superior, relationships with coworkers, job content, treatment, and rewards including promotion, working environment condition, as well as company’s structure Job satisfaction is complicated phenomenon with multi sides (Fisher and Locke, 1992;
