As speech pathologists in private practice, we all want:
- safety and respect;
- good relationships with our clients and colleagues; and
- opportunities to grow as professionals and people.
Hertzberg tells us that job satisfaction is more than just a lack of job dissatisfaction.
Both matter!
To increase job satisfaction, increase:
- achievements;
- recognition;
- responsibility;
- meaningful work;
- opportunities for advancement; and
- personal growth.
To decrease job dissatisfaction, increase:
- working conditions;
- co-worker relations;
- clear policies/rules;
- supervisor quality; and
- pay.

Check back tomorrow when we’ll be providing tips to combat resistance.
