What is it about?
The qualitative forms of job satisfaction by Bruggemann predict work motivation and well-being at work. We show that personal resources of resilience (self-efficacy, optimism, and mindfulness) and resilient behavior in the workplace have an impact on the forms of job satisfaction. Furthermore, we show that the forms of job satisfaction have the expected effects on work engagement and psychological strain.

Why is it important?
It extends the knowledge of personal determinants of the forms of job satisfaction. Because we investigated aspects of individual resilience that can be changed and for which effective interventions exist, the results show organizations how they can reduce the share of employees with forms of job satisfaction, that are associated with low work motivation and high psychological strain.
