Career Builder - Employee Satisfaction

Synopsis- The commercial is aimed at employees who feel like they are the only ones doing any real work at their job; or feel like they don’t have the same work ethic as their co-workers.

Concepts- I think this commercial touches on two key organizational behavior concepts; corporate culture and employee satisfaction. Corporate culture is the collective way an organization does things. At the man’s office, the corporate culture is that they monkey around a lot (which could be because they are monkeys). He seems unwilling to conform and unhappy with that culture. Which leads to the next concept of employee satisfaction; employee satisfaction is the terminology used to describe whether employees are happy and contented and fulfilling their desires and needs at work. Many factors contribute to employee satisfaction, such as treating employees with respect, providing regular employee recognition, empowering employees, and positive management within a success framework of goals, measurements, and expectations, just to name a few. Greater employee satisfaction has been linked to higher productivity. It’s easy to see from the clip that neither the guy that works with the monkeys nor the lady that works with the donkeys is very satisfied at their current job, which is why they would use Career Builder to find a new one.
