including background of the study, problem statement, research objectives, research questions, and research scope Structures of the study is also presented in this chapter 1.1 Background of the study Human resources play an important role in establishment and development of organizations Fletcher and Williams (1996), Al-Aameri (2000), and Fang (2001) indicate that employees satisfy with their jobs tend to have more loyalty towards the organizations, and contribute more than those who dissatisfy Thus, satisfied employees can help to increase retention and decrease turnover rate as well as save recruiting and training costs Understanding that human resource is a valuable capital of an organization, there are many studies about job satisfaction all over the world Among them, there are two famous studies from that others are based on They are study of Locke in 1976 and study of Herzberg, Mausner, and Snyderman in 1959 Locke (1976) defines job satisfaction as a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job or job experiences He also points out nine dimensions of job, including nature of work, pay, promotion, recognition, benefits, working conditions, coworkers, and company and management In his causal models of job satisfaction, Locke finds strong positive relationships among these job dimensions with job satisfaction Another famous study of job satisfaction is Herzberg’s motivator – hygiene theory in 1959 Herzberg et al (1959) classify incidents involving the work itself, achievements, promotion, recognition, and responsibility are frequently mentioned as sources of satisfaction This group of factors is labeled Motivators While incidents classified as involving supervision, interpersonal relations, working conditions, company policies, and salary are frequently mentioned as causes of job dissatisfaction This group of categories is labeled Hygienes The two-factor theory of job satisfaction parallels the theory of man’s needs based on Maslow theory, in which the Hygiene factors operate to fulfill man’s physical needs, while the Motivators serve to fulfill man’s psychological needs Based on these studies, job satisfaction is researched in many different countries and all the researches get the results that prove the relationships among these factors and job satisfaction Lim (2008) examining the job satisfaction of library information technology workers in the United States finds that salary, a sense of belonging, job autonomy, and promotion opportunities are related to job satisfaction The conclusion drawn from the study of Sesil (1999) in High Technology Establishments of United Kingdom is that there is a strong and positive impact on job satisfaction associated with the use of employee involvement and group incentives Another study about job satisfaction compared between Canada and India shows that employees who exhibit job satisfaction and work experience behaviors are more likely to heighten their desires to be empowered, regardless of cultural context (Gill, Sharma, Mathur, & Bhutani, 2012) Besides American and Europe, Asia, Africa, and Middle East also have many studies about job satisfaction Koh, Ma, and Kuek (2012) studying about the relationships among job satisfaction, job performance, and job stress in the context of higher learning institutions in Malaysia find that job stress has negative impact on job satisfaction and then, job satisfaction affects job performance in a positive relationship According to Ashok and Lekh (2013), pay, promotion, work itself, supervision, and co-workers can contribute to increase the job satisfaction of managers in pharmaceutical industry in Himachal Pradesh of India Sadegh and Azadeh (2012) also indicate supervision, relationship with co-workers, nature of work, opportunities for promotion, and present pay all have important influence job satisfaction when they an empirical study at airline industry in Iran In Nigeria, Oyebamiji, Kareem, and Ayeni (2013) show that job satisfaction dimensions including pay, supervision, promotion, work itself, and work conditions have significant effect on job performance, which account for 33% variance of job performances The study conclude that small and medium enterprises managers should use these job satisfaction dimensions as policy instruments for retention to reduce employee turnover and enhance job performance Studies about job satisfaction are not only popular in many countries but also diversify in different fields and research objectives Job satisfaction are researched in technology (Sesil, 1999; Lim, 2008), banking industry (Islam, Mohajan & Datta, 2012; Mansor, Noor & Hassan, 2012; Muhammad and Kamal, 2009), governments (Krzysztof & Bartomicj, 2013; Turkyilmaz, Akman, Ozkan, & Pastuszak 2011), hotel industry (Hussain, 2012; Abdullah, Musa, Zahari, Rahman, & Khalid 2011), textile industry (Ami, Shiji, & Shamira, 2012), health care (Harmon et al., 2003), pharmaceutical industry (Ashok & Lekh, 2013), and many other industries Objectives of studies about job satisfaction vary according to authors’ purposes There are researches on determinants of job satisfaction, for instant Kumar and Singh (2011) investigate job satisfaction and its correlates, Seashore and Tabler (1975) research about job satisfaction indicators and their correlates There are many studies compare the differences in job satisfaction between genders and bank sectors, such as Sadegh and Azadeh (2012) an evaluation of employees’ job satisfaction and role of gender difference at airline industry in Iran, or comparative study about job satisfaction of public sector and private sector banks of Devi and Suneja (2013) Other authors research about the demographic attributes and job satisfaction, such as Santosh and Santoshi (2014) Some authors investigate the relationship between some of job dimensions and job satisfaction, for instant study about the impact of employee participation on job satisfaction, employee commitment, and employee productivity (Komal and Tahir, 2007), impact of salary differential on managerial job satisfaction (Okpara, 2004), relationship between job satisfaction and job commitment (Luqman, Bolaji, & Abubakar, 2012), job satisfaction and job performance relationship (Timothy, Carl, Joyce, & Gregory, 2001), work values and job satisfaction (Ju, Mohd, Datin, & Kong, 2006), etc In banking industry, low level of job satisfaction makes difficulties in increasing service quality, including long working hours, workload pressure, unfairness in promotion and salary, and uncomfortable working environment, etc Job satisfaction directly relates to employees’ performance, absenteeism, commitment, turnover, and
