Overview

The Brief Overall Job Satisfaction Measures I & II (BOJSM) are psychometric tools designed to provide a quick and effective assessment of employee job satisfaction. These scales offer reliable measurements that can be applied across various work environments to track employee well-being.

Purpose

The primary objectives of the BOJSM are to: Assess overall job satisfaction efficiently. Provide data for workplace improvements and organizational decision-making. Identify areas for intervention to enhance employee engagement and retention.

Scoring & Calibration

Each scale consists of a small number of statements. Participants rate items on a Likert scale (1 = Strongly Disagree to 5 = Strongly Agree). Higher scores indicate greater job satisfaction, while lower scores may signal workplace dissatisfaction and areas for improvement.
