A Review of Job Satisfaction in Journalism

Abstract

This paper provides a review of literature on the concept of job satisfaction in journalism and explores how job satisfaction has been applied in the journalism field as a new theoretical framework. Specifically, the research questions are about  the basic information among the 41 published articles, including (1) the popular journals, (2) the active authors in this field, (3) the popular theories, and (4) the research samples; this paper also examines whether there is a relationship between the time periods (in which the articles were published) and the different independent variables.
