People work for many reasons and differ in the rewards they receive from their work, yet they generally wish to be satisfied with and effective at their jobs. In this chapter, the authors draw on a variety of perspectives-especially person-environment fit and social cognitive career theories-that may be used to help counselors conceptualize and assist clients experiencing problems with work dissatisfaction or substandard performance. They divide the chapter into two main sections focusing, respectively, on factors that promote satisfaction and effective performance in work settings. Extensive coverage of job satisfaction can be found elsewhere, particularly in the organizational psychology literature. Counselors working with adults frequently encounter clients seeking help with problems that involve job performance. Problems of work satisfaction and satisfactoriness represent primary reasons why some adult clients seek counseling.
