VEZA IZMEÐU ZADOVOLJSTVA NA RADU I INDIVIDUALNIH PERFORMANSI

Relationship between job satisfaction and individual performance is very complex and bidirectional. In fact, satisfied employees direct their efforts to achieving an outstanding individual performance. Because of their sense of achievement, successful workers will gain greater job satisfaction which will then motivate them to work better and achieve an even better individual performance. Therefore, job satisfaction and individual performance are inseparable concepts and their relationship is circular and goes in both directions. The aim of this paper is to clarify the relationship between these two variables, and empirically determine the strength of the correlation between job satisfaction and individual performance in both directions. The empirical research was conducted in 2011, in a small Croatian production company. Individual performances are investigated on the basis of company documents concerning the work performance of each employee.
