Dear friends,
People in different disciplines draw job satisfaction from different sources. In my field (public health) sense of service to humanity is most often cited as the leading sources of job satisfaction. What about your job adds the most to your job satisfaction?
The relationship that I have with my colleagues, the support that each one has the to the other, doing what I like to do, and knowing that I am following my mission in life are the factors that most contribute with the job satisfaction.
Flexibility, ability to make a difference and change Students’ and junior colleague‘s lives for the better.
I found satisfaction in impacting knowledge to my future generation. Most of the people I taught in Elementary School ( Primary) are now graduates. Those that I taught in high school ( secondary), most of them have finished Master's degree while some are running PhD. I feel satisfied seeing them. We are now colleagues. Some are doing excellently well in other fields.
Thank you all dear colleagues for your valuable perspectives; Drs. Mercedes Orús-Lacort Amir W. Al-Khafaji Cristina Jones , Omolayo M. Ikumapayi , Segun Michael Abegunde
The classic theory of job satisfaction proposes that a person's ability to relate understand the impacts/outcome and relate to their product/creation is most satisfying aspect of his/her job. Salary and benefits are needed for survival but they are expected from all jobs with some variation.
I think the work Environment and respect are generally considered the most satisfying aspects.
Certainly yes as an Environmental Engineer and a University Teacher.
Satisfaction in the work is sometimes neutralized by the burnt heads and the hard heads that work with you.
Abderrahmane Khechekhouche Thank you sir for your contribution to this discussion
My ability to positively shape the public health practice through my research is among the most satisfying.

Confucius said, "Choose a job you love and you will not have to work one day in your life!" That's my job!!!!
For me, my distinctive perspective and transdisciplinary research capabilityㅡleading to produce a new knowledge and positively shape the nursing workforce policy-making/materializing through my researchㅡis the most satisfying.
Helping others to live is a major job fulfillment because those that live for others to live dont die. They live on after their demise.
I teach students who will be teachers after graduation , So, besides the scientific material, I try to treat them as colleagues sometimes to increase their confidence in themselves
Lectures at University - my favorite job. My job at a government institution is not a pleasure to me.
As we say in Russia: science is a way to satisfy own curiosity at the expense of others. One senior colleague professed the following credo of work in science: In a foreign territory, by another's hands, and, preferably, at another's expense. So the scientific work is very interesting and attractive itself...
Tomorrow, as major Professor of two doctoral students, I will hood them during their graduation ceremony. This is among the most satisfying aspects of my job. One of those students was a part of “lost boys” of Sudan who walked a thousand mile and stayed in camp for 10 years. It is chilling how someone can go from having grave Challenges like those to be this sussessful. I am proud to serve the chair of his dissertation.
