Data from a survey of 1,149 U.S. journalists suggest news workers' job satisfaction is associated with perceptions about employers' business and professional (journalistic) goals and priorities. Journalists tend to be less satisfied if they work for organizations that they perceive to be strongly profit-oriented and more satisfied with their jobs if they perceive that their employers value good journalism. These relationships, however, vary by job role. News supervisors and rank-and-file journalists not only have different perceptions of their organizations' goals and priorities, but those perceptions have somewhat different effects on job satisfaction in each group.

Purpose: Job satisfaction impacts employee work performance, productivity, and retention. We investigated levels of job satisfaction among Arab speech-language pathologists (SLPs) across different work settings in Kuwait. The aims were to determine the differences between work settings for SLPs in terms of job satisfaction and the reasons behind SLPs' migration from one setting to another and to identify the variables that contribute significantly to job satisfaction in each work setting. Method: A 36-item Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) questionnaire was used to evaluate job satisfaction based on responses to a 6-point Likert-type scale distributed to SLPs across school, hospital, and private clinic settings. Overall JSS score and subscale category ratings were computed and compared between different work settings to assess the influence of variables such as pay, promotion, supervision, benefits, and nature of work on job satisfaction among SLPs working in Kuwait. Results: According to JSS normative data, the highest job satisfaction scores were obtained from SLPs working in private clinics, with average satisfaction scores among those working in government, school, and medical settings. The highest job satisfaction scores for supervision, coworkers, and nature of work subscale categories were similar for SLPs in each setting. The lowest satisfaction scores of subscale categories differed between settings: “promotion” in schools, “fringe benefits” in government medical settings, and “operating conditions” in private clinics. Conclusions: While the need exists to attract SLPs to work in government medical settings (hospitals and clinics) in Kuwait, increased opportunity for professional development courses that are relevant to the discipline, and improved communication among SLPs and departmental heads, is necessary to both attract and retain them. Changes in the government setting need to be made in order to prevent the migration of SLPs from government hospitals to private hospitals where they are desperately needed.

In 2011, the West Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch Share Program introduced an Individual Transferable Quota (ITQ) system to commercial fisheries in Oregon, and Washington, and California. Introduction of catch shares was expected to change the context for decisions fishermen are required to make to operate in this fishery; particularly in trading, purchasing, and leasing quota for target and bycatch species. Such occupational restructuring potentially alters job satisfaction, a component of human well-being in a fisheries social-ecological system. Job satisfaction is connected to health and longevity, mental stress, work performance, and social factors related to family and community relationships. Fishermen in particular may value the “satisfaction bonus” provided by working on the water. There are few alternative occupations which provide similar levels satisfaction. Semi-structured interviews conducted among active fishermen of the West Coast Groundfish Trawl Fishery (WCGTF) sought to elicit patterns in job satisfaction that developed in the five years since ITQ introduction. Ten detailed in person interviews provided representative insights into new business decisions made and the current structure of job satisfaction in the WCGTF. Analysis of interviews was conducted using tested indicator attributes of job satisfaction within a three-tiered framework based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Interview responses were categorized based on positive or negative patterns in description of satisfaction attributes. Effects of ITQ policy on job satisfaction vary by vessel role, between independent owner operators, hired skippers, and crew. Despite respondents’ generally negative feelings toward the catch share program, overall satisfaction was described as “good” to “excellent,” potentially resulting from the maintenance of “self actualizing” satisfaction attributes fishermen value highly; the challenge and adventure of working on the water. However, negative elements of satisfaction are associated with a decreased feeling of control and community solidarity. Increased operating costs resulting from fees for quota leasing, and at-sea observer monitoring contribute to a present sense of unpredictability in earnings for independent owner operators and crew, in contrast to positive feelings of stability for hired skippers and crew employed by processing companies. Policy elements of the catch share program related to quota leasing and at-sea observers may represent or affect attributes of satisfaction in contemporary ITQ managed fisheries requiring further study.
