Job satisfaction : A quantitative secondary data analysis of Swedish workers job satisfaction. (English)
Abstract [en]

When we talk about job satisfaction, the focus is usually on what the individual finds satisfying, not what a whole group of people find pleasing at work. The aim of this study is to focus on what a group of people find satisfying at work. Working life is constantly changing, therefore I find it relevant to expand the knowledge about job satisfaction. With the help of a secondary ISSP study, where Swedish employees' views on jobs and working life have been investigated, and Randall Collins' theory of interaction rituals, this study is aiming to explain how social contexts in the workplace, jointly affect all employees and their job satisfaction. With the use of Randall Collins' interaction rituals theory, this study has been able to explain how social interactions at the workplace have a positive effect on the employees' experience of stress at work. This, by explaining how social interactions create High Emotional Energy that affects everyone who is within the interaction. This study shows that the experience of High Emotional Energy makes employees feel less stressed in the workplace, which increases the degree of job satisfaction.
