Factors of job satisfaction in middle aged engineering and technical personnel of mainstay

Abstract

The paper analyzes the results of a study on job satisfaction in engineering and technical personnel at a mainstay in Surgut. The relevance of the problem is due to the need to keep experienced personnel with a set of necessary competencies at the mainstay. Given the personnel shortage that has arisen in Russian enterprises, keeping personnel is an effective alternative to the new personnel search and training. The results obtained during the research state that the social and psychological conditions at the mainstays satisfy experienced engineering and technical personnel to a sufficiently high degree and contribute to the successful professional duties fulfilment. Moreover, the authors identify a tendency towards an insufficient demand for the professional competencies of women working in the engineering, which reduces their satisfaction rate in a number of parameters, and may lead to certain economic losses for the enterprise.
