Feedback and Support

Feedback

When it comes to job satisfaction, no news is bad news.

Getting negative feedback can be painful, but at least it tells you where improvements can be made.
On the other hand, positive feedback can make all the difference to how satisfied people feel.
If you’re not getting feedback, then ask for it.

The right feedback can help satisfy the need for achievement.

Ask for support

Workers often complain that the big bosses communicate little about the overall direction of the company.

People want to know their organization cares about them, that they are getting something back for what they are putting in.

We get this message from how the boss treats us, the kinds of fringe benefits we get and other subtle messages.

If people perceive more organizational support, they are happier with their job.

If this area is lacking, try asking  for more information and support, and point out why it is needed.
