What are the five scales used to measure job satisfaction?

The five main scales for measuring job satisfaction look at:

  • Pay and benefits: How fair employees feel their compensation is
  • Work itself: How meaningful and enjoyable the actual tasks are
  • Supervision: How well managers support and lead their teams
  • Coworkers: How positive relationships are with colleagues
  • Growth opportunities: How employees view their chances to learn and advance

These scales help companies understand what's working and what needs improvement.
