UCCE Napa, in collaboration with the Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation, developed a job satisfaction tool for identifying farmworker concerns to aid the targeting of positive labor strategies that are beneficial for farmworker well-being and company outcomes.
The AJSS is a 30-statement questionnaire measuring job satisfaction in 10 areas of the work environment for use with workers in any agricultural job role. High job satisfaction scores are related to better company outcomes such as reduced turnover, higher productivity, and lower absenteeism. AJSS scores identify where employees are (dis)satisfied so that managers can implement targeted strategies to boost satisfaction.
