Abstract
This research study aims at pointing out the factors that determine the level of the
Company, focusing on the relationship between job satisfaction with co-workers, work
itself, pay, promotion, supervision, age, work experience, and daily living expenses. The
study involved 100 employees who completed a survey questionnaire, using a standard
measure of job satisfaction and everyday living expenses. The results showed that the
majority of respondents were aged 26-40 and had 2-19 years of experience. Job
satisfaction was generally high, while satisfaction with daily living expenses was
mediocre. Age, years of experience, and socioeconomic status influence job satisfaction
and satisfaction with daily living expenses. Younger workers expressed sufficient
satisfaction, while those aged 26-40 had a mediocre level. Job satisfaction increased with
more experience, and those with low income showed higher satisfaction. There was a
perfect positive correlation between job satisfaction and satisfaction with daily living
expenses. These findings emphasize the importance of considering factors such as age,

and job security (Spector, 2000). The satisfaction of employees creates a dynamic
working environment. Employees with high job satisfaction develop job loyalty and
concern not only for managers but also for many researchers.
The construction industry is closely linked to the economy of every country and
contributes to the growth of the economy. If a country's construction sector and economy
are so closely related, it makes sense to manage the human resources within that industry
effectively (James, Braam & Kingma, 2012). The construction sector is vital to a

Job satisfaction is linked to income and financial stability. When satisfied with
their jobs, they are more likely to feel content with their income, which can positively
impact their financial stability and everyday living expenses. For example, suppose a
construction worker is satisfied with their job. In that case, they are more likely to feel
content with their income, which can help them manage their everyday living expenses,

such as housing, food, transportation, and healthcare (Goebel, J., & Grosskopf, B., 2014).
In contrast, if construction worker is dissatisfied with their job, they may feel that they
are not paid enough for their work, which can negatively impact their financial stability
the construction industry often face unique challenges, including long working hours,
physically demanding work, and job insecurity. These factors can negatively impact job
satisfaction, which, in turn, may affect the everyday living expenses of workers.
This correlational study aims to examine the relationship between job satisfaction
and construction workers' everyday living expenses. Specifically, the study aims to
explore whether higher levels of job satisfaction among construction workers are
associated with better management of everyday living expenses, such as housing, food,
The study will be conducted using a quantitative research design, with data
will include questions about job satisfaction, everyday living expenses, and other relevant
factors such as income and work experience. Statistical analysis will be used to determine
the correlation between job satisfaction and everyday living expenses among construction
workers.
The results of this study may have implications for both employers and

use the findings to develop policies and programs that support the financial well-being of
construction workers.

The construction industry is one of the most physically demanding and hazardous
jobs, and it often requires workers to have long working hours and work under
are happy with their jobs is essential. According to (Kheni et al., 2013), one of the factors
that can influence the job satisfaction of construction workers is their everyday living
linked to income and financial stability. Satisfied workers are more likely to feel content
with their income, positively impacting their financial stability and everyday living
expenses. In contrast, dissatisfied workers may feel that they are not paid enough for their
satisfaction and their daily living expenses. By doing so, they can improve working
conditions and support the workers' financial stability. This study can aid in identifying
the factors that influence job satisfaction and financial well-being among construction
satisfaction and everyday living expenses among construction workers. This study aims
to gain valuable insights into the factors that impact their financial well-being and how
their job satisfaction influences it. By understanding this relationship, organizations can
create better working conditions and support their employees' financial well-being,

leading to higher job satisfaction and better employee retention. This study highlights the
importance of considering job satisfaction and everyday living expenses when designing
employee support programs and creating a work environment that values employee
well-being.

five-stage model was expanded in 1970 to include both cognitive and aesthetic needs,
hierarchy of needs that must be met in a specific order, starting with basic physiological
needs and ending with self-actualization needs. In a study of construction workers' job
satisfaction and daily living expenses, researchers must consider the impact of financial
well-being, it is necessary to understand the needs that they are trying to fulfill through
their work and income. The theory suggests that if an individual's lower-order needs are
not met, they cannot entirely focus on their higher-order needs. Surveys or interviews can
help determine how satisfied employees are with their pay, benefits, working conditions,
The new Maslow's Expanded Hierarchy of Needs includes the following layers:
Physiological Needs: Physiological needs are the basic requirements for human
survival, including food, water, shelter, warmth, and sleep. Maslow's theory suggests that
fulfilling these needs is crucial before individuals can focus on higher-level needs. If a
person is hungry or sleep-deprived, they may lack the motivation to pursue social
4
STUDY OF JOB SATISFACTION AND EVERYDAY EXPENSES
Safety Needs: The safety layer covers physical safety, financial security, and
protection from harm. It's the second level in Maslow's hierarchy, and having a stable job
is crucial to fulfilling these needs. Financial security is also essential, including access to
housing, food, healthcare, and other necessities. Without these, individuals may feel
Belongingness and Love Needs: The social layer encompasses the need for
recognition at work can fulfill this need. Communication is also crucial to a positive work
environment. Fulfilling belongingness and love needs can motivate individuals to pursue
Esteem Needs: The esteem layer involves the need for self-esteem and respect
from others, which can be fulfilled through benefits, rewards, and recognition in the
workplace. Feeling valued and respected can increase an individual's self-esteem and
Cognitive Needs: The cognitive layer involves the need for intellectual
opportunities can fulfill this need and contribute to an individual's job performance and
personal growth. Fulfilling cognitive needs can also increase motivation and create a

art, music, and nature. In the workplace, fulfilling aesthetic needs can be achieved by

satisfaction.
something greater than oneself, such as spirituality and purpose. In the workplace,
a company's social mission or volunteer work. Fulfilling these needs can lead to a sense
pursuing passions. Once basic needs are met, individuals strive for self-actualization.
Opportunities for growth and development, challenging projects, and autonomy can
fulfill these needs in the workplace. Employees who feel invested in are more engaged,
This expanded hierarchy of needs suggests that people have complex and diverse
safety, social, esteem, cognitive, aesthetic, and self-transcendence needs is essential for
fulfillment. When it comes to job satisfaction and daily living expenses, these needs are
interconnected. To meet basic physiological needs, individuals need a job that provides
enough income for essentials. Once basic needs are met, job satisfaction can be
influenced by feeling secure, having positive relationships, being respected, and having
opportunities for growth. However, high living expenses can make it harder to prioritize
job satisfaction over meeting basic needs. Understanding this relationship helps us see
how job satisfaction and daily living expenses affect each other.

Needs, which suggests that human needs are arranged in a hierarchical order and that
people must fulfill lower-level needs before they can progress to higher-level needs.
At the base of the hierarchy are physiological needs, such as food, water, shelter,
and other necessities required for survival. Once these needs are met, individuals move
up the hierarchy to meet their safety needs, which include physical safety, security, and
stability.
7
STUDY OF JOB SATISFACTION AND EVERYDAY EXPENSES
The next level is belonging and love needs, which include the need for social
interaction, friendship, and intimacy. After belonging and love needs are met, individuals
move on to esteem needs, which include the need for recognition, respect, and
achievement.
Above the esteem needs are cognitive needs, which involve the need for
knowledge, understanding, and intellectual stimulation. The next level is aesthetic needs,
Finally, at the top of the hierarchy are self-actualization needs, which involve the
desire to reach one's full potential and achieve personal growth and fulfillment. Beyond
the desire to connect with something greater than oneself, such as spirituality, nature, or
the universe.
In terms of job satisfaction and daily living expenses, Maslow's theory suggests
that meeting basic physiological and safety needs is necessary for survival and job
security. As individuals move up the hierarchy, job satisfaction may be influenced by the
extent to which their belonging and love needs, esteem needs, cognitive needs, aesthetic
needs, and self-actualization needs are being met through their work and daily living
expenses. The framework illustrates that if the lower needs are affected by factors that
cause them to focus on their higher needs, the construction worker will not be satisfied
and won't be able to be satisfied with their everyday living expenses. Though, if the
construction workers can meet the lower needs, then achieving the higher needs will be
much easier. That will result in the worker being satisfied with their job and daily living
expenses.

Maslow’s Need Hierarchy Theory identifies five primary categories of human needs and
places them in a hierarchy (Mcshane & Glinow, 2000). At the bottom of this hierarchy is
a physiological need, which includes satisfying physical requirements for food, air, and
shelter. Next is safety needs, the need for a secure and stable environment.
Next is belongingness which includes the need for love, affection, and interaction
with other people. The fourth category is the need for esteem which includes self-esteem
through personal achievement and social esteem through recognition and respect from
others. Self-actualization is at the top of the hierarchy, representing the need for
self-fulfillment.
Different people have cited many factors as the causes of job satisfaction (Rebore,
2001). Job satisfaction has several facets, such as satisfaction with work, pay,
organizational climate (Oduro-Owusu, 2010). While these facets are correlated, each is

studies have identified how demographic variables vary in relationships with the various
satisfaction facets. However, this is an essential consideration since studies have shown

other hand, demographic variables like job position and age (except academic
qualification, gender, marital status, and length of employment) influence job satisfaction
factors like household size, education level, and the economic status of households.
Construction employees with larger households and lower economic status typically had
lower job satisfaction levels, according to a study by Li, Shen, and Skitmore (2017). The
authors speculate that this might be because workers with larger homes are subject to
greater financial demands and obligations and because workers from lower
Moreover, they discovered that education level also significantly affects the job
satisfaction of construction workers. Greater education levels are associated with more
prospects for career progression and the capacity to take on more difficult and
complicated jobs, which results in construction employees reporting better levels of job
satisfaction.

Income includes several forms of compensation such as “direct, cash payments (for
example, salary); indirect, noncash payments (for example, benefits); the number of pay
raises and the process by which the compensation system is administered” (Williams et

the construction worker may impact their job satisfaction and everyday living expenses
due to differences in physical abilities, priorities, and living goals among workers of
different ages. Years of experience, workers who have been in their job for a long time
may have different levels of job satisfaction than those who are just starting, and they
may have different financial resources and obligations because workers with more
experience may have developed better skills, knowledge, and confidence in their work,
which could affect their job satisfaction. Socioeconomic status can influence job
satisfaction and everyday living expenses because workers with higher socioeconomic
status may have access to better resources, education, job opportunities, more financial
resources, and a more remarkable ability to meet their basic needs and expenses, which
could impact their overall job satisfaction. Similarly, workers with lower socioeconomic
status may face more financial stress and challenges in meeting their everyday living

includes a question number two (2) asking if the respondent likes the people they work
with. In the construction industry, this statement tends to receive high rates of agreement.
This is because construction work often involves working in teams, which allows
workers to develop close relationships with their colleagues. These positive relationships
can create a pleasant work environment that can contribute to workers' job satisfaction.
As a result, they are more likely to agree with statements related to their workplace
relationships.
The complex and highly regulated nature of the construction industry often leaves
workers uncertain about whether the rules and procedures need to be streamlined, as
evidenced by the high rate of undecided responses to the statement in the Job Satisfaction
Survey questionnaire. The first statement "Many of our rules and procedures need to be
31
STUDY OF JOB SATISFACTION AND EVERYDAY EXPENSES
streamlined" in the Work and Workplace facet of the Job Satisfaction Survey
questionnaire has a high rate of being undecided by construction workers because the
construction industry is highly regulated and involves many safety procedures and
regulations that are necessary for worker safety. Workers may feel that some of these
rules and procedures are burdensome and time-consuming, but they may also recognize
the importance of following them to ensure their safety on the job. Therefore, they may
not have a clear opinion on whether the rules and procedures need to be streamlined.
Additionally, some workers may not have enough information or knowledge about the
specific rules and procedures in question, which could also contribute to their uncertainty.
A high rate of disagreement among construction workers towards the statement three (3),
"I find I have to work harder at my job because of the incompetence of people I work
with" in the Job Satisfaction Survey questionnaire can be attributed to their reliance on
collaborative teamwork and appreciation for their colleagues' competency. They value
to achieve success. Therefore, they are less likely to agree with statements that suggest
their colleagues are incompetent and cause them to work harder. Additionally, they may
feel that this statement is negative and does not accurately reflect their overall job
The question "I have the opportunity to take part in trainings, webinars, meetings
and outreach activities" in the Work and Workplace facet of the Job Satisfaction Survey
questionnaire has a high rate of being strongly disagreed by the construction workers
because the nature of the construction industry can make it difficult for workers to take
time away from their job sites to participate in training or professional development

activities. Employers may not prioritize investing in training and development programs
for their workers due to the perceived cost and time required. As a result, construction
workers may feel that they do not have adequate opportunities to participate in these
types of activities, leading to a low rate of agreement with this statement in the survey. In
the study of Raso & Rossi (2019) the case study Job satisfaction in the Italian

authors conducted interviews with workers and found that access to training and

competitiveness.
Based on the data, it can be concluded that the Work and Workplace facet of the
have a strong desire to learn new skills, which reflects the constantly evolving nature of
the construction industry. Positive relationships with colleagues are also important to
them and contribute to their job satisfaction. However, they may feel uncertain about the
need to streamline rules and procedures due to the importance of safety regulations in the
industry. They value their colleagues' competency and disagree with statements
suggesting that they have to work harder due to incompetence. Lastly, the nature of the

its success" in the communication facet of the Job Satisfaction Survey questionnaire. This
reason includes: Clear expectations due to working on projects with clear objectives and

Among construction workers, there is a significant agreement with statement number 31,
"I feel I am being paid a fair amount for the work I do," as stated in the Job Satisfaction
Survey questionnaire. This suggests that the majority of construction workers feel
satisfied with their current compensation and believe that they are being fairly
remunerated for their work. If the company's wages align with industry standards and
market rates, workers are more likely to perceive their compensation as fair. Regular
market research and benchmarking can help ensure that the company's pay structure

Food
One major contributor to the level of satisfaction of the construction workers that
leads to mediocrity in this facet is the low satisfaction rate of the respondents to the
efficiency of their acquired salary to support their daily living expenses such as monthly
allocations on food and non-alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages, and tobacco. Food
expenses include groceries and meals, while non-alcoholic beverages encompass various
drinks for hydration. Allocation towards alcoholic beverages and tobacco are also
mentioned. The results suggest that the satisfaction of construction workers is influenced
by their perception of how well their acquired salary covers their daily living expenses.
The low satisfaction rate of construction workers with the efficiency of their
salary in covering daily living expenses can lead to financial stress. When workers
struggle to meet their basic needs, it can negatively impact their overall satisfaction with
their work. This can result in mediocrity in job performance, reduced motivation, and
lower overall contentment among construction workers. A result was also observed by
Zhang, J., et al. (2020) that highlights the financial stress caused by dissatisfaction with

that the respondents who were aged 18 to 25, 26 to 40, and 42 to 60 were satisfied in their
work. This indicates that individuals within these age ranges are generally content with

attitude toward satisfaction. On the other hand, respondents with 2 to 19, 20 to 39, and
more experience are more likely to have higher job satisfaction (Tett et al. 2005). It
suggests that as professionals gain more experience, they become more likely to have
their needs met, leading to higher satisfaction levels. With experience, individuals may
have a better understanding of their roles, increased confidence, and opportunities for
career advancement, which can contribute to higher job satisfaction. Those in the poor

satisfaction with their daily living expenses. The data reveals that individuals' age, years
of experience, and socio-economic status are associated with their level of satisfaction
with daily living expenses. Respondents between 18 and 25 years old generally express
adequately. Regarding experience, individuals with 0-1 years have a mediocre level,
while those with 2-19, 20-39, and over 40 years express sufficient satisfaction. In terms
of socio-economic status, the poor category shows insufficient satisfaction, while those
with low income display sufficient satisfaction. These findings highlight the relationship
between demographic factors and satisfaction with daily living expenses, but additional
variables like financial management and regional cost of living should be considered.

group exhibited a satisfactory level of satisfaction. This implies that despite their limited
financial resources, they are content with their present circumstances, indicating that
factors other than income might contribute to their contentment, such as a sense of

careers and may not have achieved the financial stability necessary to comfortably cover
all their expenses. On the other hand, those with 2 to 19 years of experience display a
satisfactory level of satisfaction, indicating career progression and a more stable income
that supports their daily living costs. Likewise, respondents with 20 to 39 years of
experience and those with over 40 years of experience also demonstrate a satisfactory
level of satisfaction, suggesting that their extensive professional experience has likely
provided them with the financial resources needed to adequately meet their daily
expenses.
The relationship between job satisfaction and satisfaction with everyday living
