Abstract

The present study explores the connections between work effort, employee satisfaction, and self-esteem, focusing on the organizational context. The main purpose is to assess the relationship between employees' effort at work and their level of satisfaction, and to investigate how employees' self-esteem can influence their job satisfaction. Through a representative sample of employees, we will collect and analyze data to reveal possible correlations between the amount of effort put into work, the level of satisfaction felt and the individual's self-esteem. Research methodology includes employee effort assessment tools, measures of job satisfaction and self-esteem assessment. Regarding the research hypotheses, it is assumed that there is a significant relationship between effort at work and employee satisfaction, anticipating that sustained effort can contribute to higher satisfaction. Employees' self-esteem is also hypothesized to positively influence their job satisfaction, providing insight into the importance of individual perceptions of value in the work context. The results of this research could provide organizations with a deeper understanding of the factors that contribute to employee satisfaction and suggest tailored management strategies to improve organizational climate. Also, the study could make significant contributions to the literature by illustrating how aspects such as effort, satisfaction and self-esteem are interconnected within the work environment.
