Can salary be major factor for employee Satisfaction?

Yes, salary would be a major factor. This is because it quantifies what the individual is worth to the firm and forms a basis for comparison

it depends, if ur survey if for lower level employee then yes because that is the most important aspect for them but the moment u climb the ladder it start to negate.

i think it plays a mojor role. however its not the only option considered while taking in thought about employee Satisfaction............

Yes I think its the most imp factor in any kind of job

i think besides salary the work environment also do a lot..

even we can say that the band for which u r earning also do the same

yes, salary is one of the major factors in employee satisfaction......

Hi,
I think salary is a major concern during the early stages of a person's career life and as he moves up the hierarchy,its priority decreases and job satisfaction and development takes its place...

well...........now dis again is a subjective topic

if salary was evrything den management wudnt hv come wid sumthing called as 'dry promotion'

besides salary n designation.....wrk environment also plays a vital role ^_^

Wrong.

CREATING JOB SATISFACTION

So, how is job satisfaction created? What are the elements of a job that create job satisfaction? Organizations can help to create job satisfaction by putting systems in place that will ensure that workers are challenged and then rewarded for being successful. Organizations that aspire to creating a work environment that enhances job satisfaction need to incorporate the following:

• Flexible work arrangements, possibly including telecommuting
• Training and other professional growth opportunities
• Interesting work that offers variety and challenge and allows the worker opportunities to "put his or her signature" on the finished product
• Opportunities to use one's talents and to be creative
• Opportunities to take responsibility and direct one's own work
• A stable, secure work environment that includes job security/continuity
• An environment in which workers are supported by an accessible supervisor who provides timely feedback as well as congenial team members
• Flexible benefits, such as child-care and exercise facilities
• Up-to-date technology
• Competitive salary and opportunities for promotion
