范文

This table illustrates the difference of degree of satisfaction among employees at different ages in some company.

In general, the overall trend of the degree of satisfaction is different with the variation of ages. Of those who feel satisfactory about their jobs, those beyond 50 years old take up the majority, accounting for 40%, followed by those who are no more than 40 years old, which take up 16.7%.Those between 41 to 50 years old have the lowest satisfactory rate,merely 0.0%.Of those who feel dissatisfactory about their jobs, those between 41 to 50 years old take up the majority, accounting for 64.0%, followed by those less than 40 years old, which take up 33.3%.Those who beyond 50 years old enjoy the lowest dissatisfactory rate, taking up only 10%.Besides, there are still 50.0% of less than 40 years old employees, 36.0% of those between 41 to 50 years old and 50.0% of over 50 years old employees remaining uncertain about the degree of satisfaction.

The contributory factors to this result can mainly divide into three parts. Firstly, those less than 40 years old are ambitious, impractical and eager to find their places in work.With those characteristics, they often get upset when they fail to fulfill their goals. Secondly,those between 41 to 50 years old employees, confronted with challenges posed by their young colleagues, often face a great deal of working competition and pressure. Lastly, with their impending retirement, those beyond 50 years old face relatively small working pressure and feel satisfactory about their jobs.
