Money or job satisfaction

Both money and job satisfaction is important . BuT I think if you don't have job satisfaction you can't stick in a job.

UDF stalled proceedings in the Kerala Assembly on Tuesday over the money-for-job scam as the Speaker rejected their demand

I think both are need for happy life...very surprised that only one is considered more.

But many people consider job satisfaction as the second priority due to money commitments.

My personal opinion is that both Job satisfaction and money are equally important.

Really, it is true.I came to present job which paid less than the earlier one.But now am satisfied in my job.

it is really pleasure to see a person of similar opinion in Boddunan itself. Previously wheneven i came across job interviews this question was asked frequently and i had to geniunely say that i prefer both..as both are necessary. But now i am surprise to see that people are more interested in job satisfaction.. :)

You get money for job. If job is not satisfying, you will not be very successful and hence you will not earn more money in the long run. However, if the job is satisfying, you will get interest in the job, acquire high skill, excel and ultimately earn more.

For an example, if you are good at oratory, logical and language skill, you can be a good advocate. In course of time, you may be highest earning advocate. The medical profession may give you better income for the time being, but in absence of job satisfaction, you will remain mediocre and so the earnings.

It is better to select a job that will satisfy. Money will follow.

I don't believe these too can be separated as we don't have any other means to determine our satisfaction! Only a spiritually inclined person can have such a detached view of life!!

I don't work but still i feel that job satisfaction is more important because if you are not satisfied with your job you will do it to a certain extent and finally you will have to leave.....

Job is for money and you cannot separate. Every job gives money. But an individual does not have aptitude and natural flare for every job. What should be the criteria for job selection. If you give importance to money, you may get in a job that is unsuitable for you. You will be a flop or mediocre with small or modest earning. However, if you choose a job that is really according to your natural talent, even if the income is less, you will be successful and may eventually earn more. This is just a question of prudence and not spirituality.

There is not an iota of doubt that if a job is done well it gives tremendous satisfaction but its linkage with money is an inseperable part.If someone does his job well and yet gets insufficient recognition in terms of money that could be a source of great dissatisfaction and frustration as well!

Job and money are definitely linked. Job satisfaction leads to more efficiency and consequently more income. If somebody chooses a job for which he has no or less natural flair, he may be a flop or mediocre that will disable him from future prospects and income.

Job satisfaction and money are required for a better and happy life for a person.

But I feel that both Money and Job satisfaction cannot go hand in hand.Family situations and commitments come first rather than satisfaction.We will be automatically pushed to a field of less interest(but pays more) if we are in desperate need of money.

I guess it depends on an individual to choose,for many money is important....job satisfaction may come later.
Personally,I would go with job satisfaction.

According to me I prefer job satisfaction
As i found many cases in such situation that is some people are in need of money so they wont bother about job satisfaction and some people first prefer job satisfaction, for their job satisfaction they even leave huge amount of the pay.

Lets see an example which i experience.
Once i felt to earn money as i am in need. so didnt prefer jobsatisfaction, I got a client. he asked me to get 1lakh mail data for 10k. amount was good but there is no job satisfaction.

Money is still the main driver as many of you have pointed out rightly! A person who has to take care the staisfaction of others and has restricted access in job market can hardly afford the luxury of deriving satisfaction from his own job!!!

satisfaction describes how content an individual is with his or her job. The happier people are within their job, the more satisfied they are said to be in life

Job satisfaction is much more important than money as once you enjoy your work , you will tend to more work and in returns you are benefited with more money. Money is necessity but not over satisfaction.
