Working on the Edge Today: Dissatisfaction, Adaptation, and Performance
This chapter evaluates the influences of job satisfaction or job dissatisfaction on work, addressing the potential for performance, health, and well-being to be lost under less than psychologically optimal working conditions. It speculates that individuals attempt to adapt to the experience of work-family conflict using the same mechanisms used to adapt to dissatisfaction with their work. This chapter also reveals that dissatisfaction due to work–family conflict can heighten feelings of dissatisfaction at work. In addition, employee attempts at adapting to their dissatisfaction with opportunities to integrate work and family can have fundamental consequences on society.
Keywords: job satisfaction, job dissatisfaction, work, work–family conflict, employee, performance, health
