Question

Research methodology of job satisfaction

Answer 1

Employee satisfaction' is a concept gauging how content the workforce is with their work and the workplace's environment. Hence 'Employee Dissatisfaction' occurs when the workforce becomes unhappy with these aspects of their job, which can lead to negative impacts in the business, such as decreased motivation and declines in productivity, as well as increased labor turnover - common problems that occur in most businesses, regardless if they're small entrepreneurships or large corporations.

We have selected to study specific events in HP's corporate history; specifically: the reduction of wage rates, multiple employee redundancies, sexual harassment and M&A's (Mergers and Acquisitions). Dividing these issues up into four separate reports, we have attempted to analyze the correlations between HP's different corporate issues and their relation to employee dissatisfaction, by using external sources of information (such as news articles based on the relevant issue and applicable Human Resource theories) and knowledge to support our findings.

After analyzing these issues, we will conclude our findings into a summarized statement evaluating employee dissatisfaction present in HP. We will then present collective solutions that can be implemented to help alleviate HP of similar problems if they should ever show up in the future once again.
