An Examination of Factors Affecting Employee Satisfaction
The experiment of factors that affect employee satisfaction was carried out at Wal-Mart Supercenter in St. Missouri. The employees filled out the questionnaires that were intended to gather the information regarding employee satisfaction. The independent variables in the experiment were the type of personality, justice procedure, organizational structure, and coping skills (Kapoor, 2010).
Independent variables in the experiment included shift, sex, age, the level of education, and either part or full-time status. The extraneous variables in the experiment included the locus of control and personality. The control and personality are independent variables, but n the other hand they can cause errors. In the experiment, forty-six employees participated to conduct the survey. Some of the employees filled in the surveys during break time while others took a few minutes while working and filled the survey requirements (Srinagesh, 2006). The participants were given a pencil and paper that they circled appropriate responses to each item that was required. After the employees had been done with giving their responses, the surveys were inserted into a big envelope that helped to maintain the confidentiality of the participants’ information. The dependent variables were recorded by the use of nonreactive measures. The researcher was not from the Wal-Mart Supercenter fraternity. The research representatives were not linked to Wal-Mart Supercenter but were conducting study o what factors contribute to the satisfaction of employees in an organization (Dunleavy, & Carrera, 2013). The experiment did not employ any technique to control the extraneous variables.
The experiment conducted was excellent to discover the challenges that employees face as they strive to the satisfaction of employment. Should the responses given by the employees get revealed to the management of Wal-Mart Supercenter, the participants who responded against the company may get lose their jobs (Ridley, Gabbert, & La, 2012).
