Although there are many definitions for this concept, the different proposals do not conflict with each other and represent a similar general idea.

In the bibliography there is abundant information on what are the factors that enhance and mitigate Job Satisfaction, as well as the main advantages with the existence of Labor Satisfaction.

Discussion and Conclusions:

There are several parameters that, if well worked out, will be able to enhance the Job Satisfaction of employees, as well as provide advantages, certainly sufficiently encouraging for institutions to be motivated to invest in it. Most authors argue that the management of expectations, remuneration/rewards, type of leadership, employment relationship/security, justice, respect, autonomy, self-esteem, commitment, sense of belonging, working hours, technical support and access to workshops are the most relevant in this context; as training, participation in decision-making, the possibility of career progression and the existence of good social relations between colleagues and managers.
