Masters in Business Administration, Business Studies Unit, Durban University of Technology, 2008. / This paper examines the issue of job satisfaction within a freight forwarding company. The widespread dissatisfaction coupled with high staff turnover has necessitated a study of this nature. Due to the broad nature of this topic, this study focused specifically on company factors with the intention of determining which of these factors, if at all, were primarily responsible for the dissatisfaction that was prevalent. Company factors, upon which the study was based, were identified to try to assist management understand the full extent of the dissatisfaction. The intention was to identify the specific company factors that were contributing to the dissatisfaction in order to help curb the high level of staff turnover within the company.
The study was conducted as staff were leaving at an alarming rate without the necessary steps being taken to address the problem.
The methodology that was used was to send out a questionnaire to a broad section of the staff where the company factors were outlined and staff had to rate their level of satisfaction.
The results that were obtained outlined which of these company factors contributed to the dissatisfaction that was prevalent. It zoned in on the important issues that needed to be addressed as opposed to addressing issues that were not as important. There were some distinct patterns that were found in the data. None of the factors investigated scored ratings of 4 or 5 (satisfied or highly satisfied) and the results showed a general dissatisfaction within the company.
This research is an invaluable source of information not only to this company, but to other freight forwarding companies to prepare them for similar problems that they may encounter within their companies. It is envisaged that companies who take heed of the findings will not experience high levels of dissatisfaction as well as high staff turnover but they would retain their personnel especially their skilled workforce.

Analysis of factors affecting job satisfaction in foreign invested construction companies in ChinaJiang, Jing, 江婧 January 2013 (has links)
With China join into the WTO for over 10 years, increasing number of foreign investors, including foreign invested construction companies, show their interests in the Chinese market. Due to the cultural differences between foreign and local companies, the foreign investors will face many challenges when entering into Chinese market. These challenges may lead to difficulties not only in establishing relationships with government, customers, and suppliers but also in managing local employees. Employees’ job satisfaction is proven to be an important predictor to organizational performance. With more and more Chinese people working in foreign invested construction companies, it is not clear whether they feel live up to their expectations. Limited literature is found about people’s job satisfaction in foreign invested construction companies. There is a research gap as the factors affecting Chinese employees’ job satisfaction in foreign invested construction companies are not examined.
Based on literature review and exploration, 9 hypotheses are proposed for this research. The first hypothesis is to evaluate people’s overall job satisfaction in foreign invested construction companies. The remaining 8 hypotheses are used to investigate the specific factors affecting job satisfaction. A quantitative approach is adopted and a questionnaire survey is conducted for data collection. Data in both local and foreign invested construction companies are collected for comparison purpose. Afterwards, three experienced managers are interviewed to seek their opinions on the findings.
Multiple regression analysis is applied for hypotheses testing. The data analysis results confirm the first hypothesis that employees working in foreign invested construction companies have a lower job satisfaction compared to employees working in local construction companies. The results also show that performance appraisal system, monthly income, feel of responsibility and career prospect are significant factors affecting people’s job satisfaction in foreign invested construction companies.
This study portrays a whole picture of employees’ job satisfaction in foreign invested construction companies and several significant predictors are identified. According to the findings, suggestions and implications are provided to managers in foreign construction companies to enhance their employee’s job satisfaction. / published_or_final_version / Real Estate and Construction / Master / Master of Philosophy
