| Abstract |
Manpower issues heavily affect work efficiency and job satisfaction; directly resolving these issues requires establishing improvement
measures to address the supply and demand of labor in each industry. The purpose of this study aims to address job satisfaction of female
employees working in design offices. Upon analysis, research revealed that overall job satisfaction was at a normal range, although in major
categories like personal environment, dissatisfaction levels were high. When examining the degree of dissatisfaction by position, it was
discovered that assistant managers experienced the highest level of dissatisfaction followed by the employee section heads. Depending on
current job satisfactory levels, many female employees were willing to change jobs or retire early. Particularly, competent female employees
in lower-level design positions had the most potential to quit on short notice, undeniably contributing to future manpower issues. After
examining the improvement requirements of female employees and reflecting on international benchmarking cases, a proposed plan targeting
job satisfaction must first focus on personal environment then on workplace atmosphere and organizational culture. The results of this study
can be used as basic data for related research topics; however, detailed analysis is limited due to the lack of various variables related to
size, age, and gender. Therefore, a future follow-up study will be conducted to complement this topic of work satisfaction among female
employees in current design firms. |
