2. Why should employers care about their employees’ level of job satisfaction? Why are so many employees unhappy? What do you think can be done about it?
They should because the happier an employee is the more they want to produce and the more they strive to better for themselves and the company. A lot of employees are unhappy because the work environment does not allow for growth or management does not connect with employees on a personnel level. Management has to be to blame; they have to set the right work environment for employees to be successful.

They should care because in the future they may come back to work for them, or that employee can be a gateway to other business ventures.
7. What characterizes the caring organization?
The things that characterize the caring model are: Caring is focused entirely on persons, not on “profit” or “quality”. Caring is undertaken as an end in itself not as a means to productivity. Caring is essentially personal. Caring is growth
