Job satisfaction

Qualifications

Your own ideas

Attitude to work

Do you think companies should promote workers who are experienced?

I think one of the most essential requirements for workers who want to perform their jobs effectively and succesffuly is “working experience” The more experienced workers are, the more accomplisments companies can make because the wokers who have a lot of experience have a good sense of responsibility for their work and they seem to have a good awareness of performing effective work and save much money for the company Thus, promoting workers who are experienced is considered as a good recognition for their effort and provides them motivation for their good performance in work and this thing should be added to one of the strategies for any companies’ development

Do you think that workers should change companies often? Why? Why not?

No I think workers should work in the same companies to contribute more efficiently Changing jobs so often usually makes people distracted and so not enough time to adapt

I think both salary and working condition are important and equally motivating However, if I have to choose which is better motivated, working condition is my preference because when I have a good working condition, I can dedicate all my talents and ability for my job that brings

me a lot of chances to earn much money and get higher promotion
