Satisfaction-oriented employee survey

First and foremost, the satisfaction-oriented employee survey serves the rating of the job satisfaction of employees in an organisation and/or organisational units. It draws upon comprehensive findings from satisfaction research on the causes/influences and effects of job satisfaction.

High job satisfaction signalises that the working conditions are compliant with humanisation, which means that they are at least to a large extent compliant with the employees' needs or their expectations and demands of the working environment.

In many companies, this condition is regarded a desirable aim as it is, without enquiring the possible effects on other aims. For other companies, high job satisfaction is just a means to an end regarding the modifying of behaviour: increased motivation, strengthened attachment, less absence from work and undesired fluctuation, positive public image, and contribution to the employer branding.
No matter for what reason high job satisfaction is aspired, the realisation is and remains an extremely difficult and continuous task of all HR employees and executives.

The "Yellow Cow" by Franz Marc arouses both feelings. On the one hand, there is the observer's interest in the well-being of a creature which delights the observer ("great"). On the other hand, there is the pleasant anticipation of possible positive effects of the well-being ("more milk").
