Doctoral studies:
Work & Job Satisfaction

"The composition of my personal definition of job satisfaction, after all components of the work experience are weighed and contemplated, would incorporate a perception that exudes passion, excitement, employee engagement, and more than anything, a desire to jump out of bed in the morning, in a rush to get to work. Ideal job satisfaction, in a perfect world, would render a position that “is the best thing, since sliced bread.” However, many of us end up with burnt toast." --- Dray, 2009
