There is a wide array of research on what leads to job satisfaction. For example, S. Kim found that job satisfaction was high among employees who had supervisors with a participatory management style and good communication skills. Looking from another perspective, there is correlation between negative job satisfaction and health although it’s stronger between psychological problems such as self-esteem, anxiety and depression than physical illness. Consequently, managers need to learn how to encourage employee development by acting in a supportive, coaching or mentoring role, rather than as an overseer or administrator. Other researchers collected data from workers in 100 manufacturing plants in some countries and they also concluded that the closeness of the relationship between the employees and their supervisors was a significant enhancer of employee morale, an important factor in worker satisfaction and productivity.
