Investigating different factors influencing job satisfaction: A case study of cement industry

During the past few years, there have been tremendous efforts on measuring the effects of different factors such as work stress, general heath quality, etc. on performance of employees. In this paper, we present an empirical investigation to study the effects of work stress, general health, organizational intelligence and job satisfaction on employee performance. The proposed study of this paper uses two questionnaires where one is associated with general health quality (GHQ) with 20 questions and the other one consists of 12 questions, which is associated with work stress. The study chooses a sample of 144 employees from 222 people who worked for one of Islamic Azad University in Iran. Cronbach alphas for work stress, general health, organizational intelligence, job satisfaction and organizational performance are 0.911, 0.895, 0.795, 0.863 and, 0.864, respectively. The results indicate that job satisfaction has the highest influence on organizational performance followed by other factors.

This paper presents an empirical investigation on the effects of job burnout and emotional intelligence on organizational commitment in an Iranian Carbon producer. There are 300 full time employees and the study chooses a sample of 169 people. The proposed study adopts three well-known questionnaires for measuring job burnout, emotional intelligence and organizational commitment and Cronbach alphas are 0.766, 0.877 and 0.802, respectively. The study chooses regression analysis and other statistical observation to examine different hypotheses and the results indicate that there were some meaningful relationships among different components of the survey. In other words, when there was an increase on job burnout, we could expect less organizational commitment and while there was an increase on emotional intelligence, we may expect higher level of organizational commitment.
