How your expert skills are used; how hard the work is; how interesting your work is; interpersonal relationship within the workplace; the physical environment of the workplace and its facilities; how work is organized within the work place; your pay; your superior; the prospects of a pay rise; job security; the prospect of promotion; or how your office takes care of its employees. The three-point response scale is used: very satisfied, normal, or not at all satisfied.
Participants
The survey involved employees of different organization within the city, a total number of 4901 employees were to be covered. The young the middle age and the old were involved. Whether male or female they were categorized as one and their records were to show that they had worked for at least three months before the time of the interview. Selection of the sample was random and proportion to the size of the employees as they were interacted with either at work or at their home. Missing cases were deleted from the data and all variables were recorded to two values to produce contingency tables for the statistical analysis.
Results

Among the 342 interviewed workers, 29.4% were satisfied, (154 employees); 30.2% felt it as normal, (180 employees); and 20% were not at all satisfied, (8 workers). As compared to high school and college level employees, the percentages of the graduate are lower.
