2) Psychopathy in Leaders and Employee Satisfaction in Family Firms
Pimentel, Duarte; Pedra, André (2023) The article delves into the relationship between primary psychopathy traits in formal leaders of family and non-family businesses and the job satisfaction levels of employees. By examining the perceptions of employees regarding primary psychopathy in their leaders and correlating it with job satisfaction, the study sheds light on a relatively unexplored aspect of human capital management in family businesses. Grounded in the principles of socioemotional wealth and the dual-factor model of psychopathy, the research aims to enhance understanding of leadership dynamics within family firms. The findings provide valuable insights for organizations seeking to improve employee satisfaction and leadership effectiveness in the context of family businesses.
3) Skill Discretion, Demands, and Salesperson Job Satisfaction
Matthews, Lucy M.; Rutherford, Brian N (2021) The article explores the intricate relationship between skill discretion, hindrance demands, burnout facets, and job satisfaction among salespeople. It reveals that skill discretion has a significant impact on personal accomplishment and depersonalization, while hindrance demands directly affect depersonalization. The study emphasizes the importance of addressing burnout facets, particularly personal accomplishment, in enhancing job satisfaction among sales professionals. By providing insights into the mediating role of burnout, the research contributes to advancing the understanding of factors influencing salesperson well-being and job satisfaction. Further longitudinal and within-person studies are recommended to deepen the understanding of these dynamics and their long-term effects on sales performance and satisfaction.

Ahmed, Salahuddin; Singh, Sapna (2023) The article discusses various research studies related to work-from-home arrangements, job stress, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. It covers topics such as the impact of COVID-19 on occupational status and work-from-home trends, the relationship between workload, autonomy, burnout, job satisfaction, and turnover intention among reporters, and the actions taken by companies for business continuity during the pandemic. The research also delves into the effectiveness of telework for organizations, the correlation between stress, work-family conflict, and gender and household income, and the relationship between intellectual capital and organizational performance.

It emphasizes the importance of fair pay, employee empowerment, and a holistic approach to organizational growth and development. The study highlights the significance of HRM in addressing critical areas such as motivation, commitment, conflict resolution, performance evaluation, rewards, and retention.

7) Job Satisfaction Study in a Developing Country’s University Employees.
Tavárez de Henríquez, Joselina Caridad; Domínguez Valerio, Cándida María (2023) The article explores the factors that influence job satisfaction among university employees in the Dominican Republic and their relationship with work engagement. The study found that employee job satisfaction was the most significant factor that influenced employee engagement. However, it was not possible to confirm the influence of job satisfaction with leadership, salary, promotions, and co-workers on employee engagement. The study highlights the importance of identifying the factors that contribute to university employee satisfaction, as it can improve employee retention and the quality of education and support provided to students.
8) Revised INDSALES Scale for Multidimensional Job Satisfaction in Sales Research
Rutherford, B N. et al (2019) The article discusses job satisfaction as a crucial factor in salesforce relationships and its impact on organizational commitment and turnover intentions. Researchers have often conceptualized and measured job satisfaction as a multidimensional construct, and the INDSALES scale is the most commonly used tool for measuring it. However, issues such as the scale’s length and limitations in reduced versions have led to researchers using global measures of job satisfaction instead. The article revisits the INDSALES scale and proposes a reduced version based on more advanced techniques, which can provide more insight into aspects of a salesperson’s work situation. The revised scale can encourage more sales researchers to employ multidimensional measures of job satisfaction.
9) Impact of Sales Managers’ Humor on Salespeople’s Job Satisfaction and Stress
Guenzi, P. et al (2019) The article explores how salespeople’s evaluation of their manager’s use of humor can influence their levels of job stress and satisfaction in the sales setting. Using a sample of 299 professional salespeople, the study tests a process model to find that affiliative humor usage by sales managers as evaluated by salespeople reduces social loneliness and stress for salespeople while also increasing followers’ acceptance of cooperation. In contrast, evaluations of aggressive humor increase stress levels among salespeople. Both social loneliness and acceptance of cooperation significantly affect job satisfaction. The study makes distinctive contributions to the literature by introducing the impact of salespeople’s evaluations of their manager’s humor usage and by analyzing both positive and negative humor interactions.
10) Economic Downturns and Job Satisfaction: The Role of Alternative Job Salience
Bianchi, E.C. et al (2023) The article proposes that job satisfaction may increase during economic downturns, as individuals are less likely to be attuned to other possible jobs and more likely to view their current job favorably. Three studies were conducted to test this hypothesis, using cross-sectional and longitudinal surveys as well as an experimental design. The findings suggest that the relationship between economic conditions and job satisfaction is mediated by the reduced salience of alternative jobs. These results contribute to the research on situational variables affecting job satisfaction, showing that external conditions outside of the workplace can shape how individuals perceive and evaluate their jobs.
11) Conclusion
In conclusion, the summaries of various research articles provide valuable insights into different facets of job satisfaction, employee retention, and leadership dynamics across various industries and contexts. These studies underscore the multifaceted nature of job satisfaction, influenced by factors such as internal communication, organizational support, leadership style, and economic conditions. Strategies for enhancing employee retention, particularly in sectors like hospitality and family businesses, involve understanding and addressing variables such as psychopathy traits in leaders, skill discretion, burnout facets, and the impact of telework arrangements. Moreover, the significance of leadership in fostering employee satisfaction and motivation, especially during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic, emerges as a recurrent theme. Additionally, the role of alternative job salience during economic downturns in shaping job satisfaction highlights the importance of considering external factors in understanding employee attitudes. Overall, these articles contribute to a nuanced understanding of the factors influencing job satisfaction and provide valuable insights for organizational management and human resources practices.
