Question

Kylie, Jake, and Samantha have different ideas about what makes a job satisfying. They all work for a nonprofit organization and travel to areas where disease epidemics have broken out to render assistance to victims. The pay is not high, and there can be extreme health risks. Their coworkers are friendly, intelligent, and generally nice. Most of them will never be world famous, but their jobs provide a chance to engage in interesting analyses and publish research done by their team. Kylie feels strongly that she wants to be able to make a difference and help people when they are in trouble. Jake worries deeply about expenses. He has a large load of student debt to pay off, and his wife is expecting their second child. Samantha likes teamwork but isn't thrilled by it and also has mild anxiety about germs.Which of the following statements is most likely true?A. Jake most likely has the lowest job satisfaction.B. Jake most likely has the highest job satisfaction.C. Samantha most likely has the highest job satisfaction.D. Samantha most likely has the lowest job satisfaction.E. Kylie most likely has the lowest job satisfaction.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: A) Jake most likely has the lowest job satisfaction.

Explanation:

In a job satisfaction scale, Jake would be the most dissatisfied. Jake is very anxious about his job, he may like doing it, but he needs a better salary (too many debts and expenses). Eventually he will probably quit that  job if he finds a better paying one.

Kylie has the highest level of job satisfaction. She enjoys her work and feels good about it. She strongly believes that she is doing something really good for other people in need. Samantha´s level of job satisfaction is in the midpoint, she likes her job but isn´t that excited about it.
