Impact of Innovation and Openness to Change on Job Satisfaction in Creative and IT Professionals

Abstract

Job satisfaction shapes commitment, motivation, and the capacity to accomplish goals at work. There has been a dramatic rise in employee satisfaction in the current times, vital for anticipating corporate performance and productivity. This paper investigates how innovation and openness to change affect job satisfaction. A survey comprising the Short Index of Job Satisfaction, the Openness Toward Organizational Change Scale, and the Innovation Competencies Development and Assessment was used to glean data from 400 people. The figures were analysed using regression analysis, Spearman’s correlation coefficient, and the independent sample test. Findings reveal that innovation and openness to change significantly impact job satisfaction among IT and creative professionals, with the varying influence of demographic characteristics.
