A Study On Job Satisfaction Of Nurses In Private Hospitals Chennai.

Abstract

Employee job satisfaction has been under academic and scholarly investigation by the researchers for more than a century now. The existence of such studies takes us back to 1911, when Taylor began to study employees and their job duties to develop better ways to train workers. Seven years later, the interest in job satisfaction had clearly arrived when Edward Thorndike examined the link between work and satisfaction in the Journal of Applied Psychology in 1918. The actual curiosity in exploring job satisfaction began with 'Hawthorne studies' by Elton Mayo (1933) and works by Hoppock (1935). Although, these two studies were carried out at the same time yet the Hawthorne studies (1927-33) had the most long lasting influence on job satisfaction research
