applies also to how to respond to the results of the
work.
Job satisfaction is an emotional state that is
pleasant or unpleasant for employees to view their
work (Handoko, 2006). Job satisfaction reflects a
person's feelings for his job. The principle of job
satisfaction is personal or individual. Each person
will have a different level of satisfaction according
to his value system. Job satisfaction is usually
known based on the results of an investigation on
workers. One can be asked whether they are satisfied
with their work (Wibowo, 2014). Individuals tend to
prefer jobs that provide opportunities to use skills
and abilities, and offer a variety of tasks, freedom
and feedback on how well the work can be done.
The behavior of one’s employer is also a major
determinant of satisfaction (Cahyanto and
Mudiartha, 2016). This means that job satisfaction
can be increased if the supervisor or direct leader is
friendly and able to understand; offers praise for
good performance; listens to opinions; and shows a
personal interest in them.
Job satisfaction depends on the level of intrinsic
results, extrinsic results, and the perceptions of the
employees (Koesmono, 2005). Intrinsic results
manifest internal responses, while the extrinsic
results of one's job satisfaction are also affected by
external factors such as colleagues, the environment,
etc. All of these results have different values for
different people. For some people, responsibilities
and challenging jobs may have neutral, negative, or
even positive values. Human beings are different in
terms of their interests related to work. The
difference itself will basically explain the different
levels of job satisfaction for the same work
assignments (Riansari, et al., 2012).
From some of the definitions stated above, there
are similarities in explaining job satisfaction.
Emphasis on job satisfaction lies in the individual
and the manifestation of satisfaction which can be
seen in his attitude towards the work being done as
well as in the work experience he has gained.
Enjoyable conditions can be achieved if the nature
and type of work are in accordance with the needs
and values that one has. Job satisfaction as being
pleasant or unpleasant is shown by an employee on
his work (Wether and Davis, 1996). Thus,
employees will exhibit an attitude that a sense of
pleasure and satisfaction or displeasure.
Everyone has a different level of satisfaction in
accordance with his or her value system. The
difference is determined by the perceived needs and
values of the individual in relation to the experience
gained in the work since the desire for good working
conditions is also based on various needs.
2.3 Knowledge of Management
Knowledge is basically all that is known about an
object and mental state that directly or indirectly
contribute to enriching human life. The main is
because humans naturally have curiosity about their
environment. The level of human curiosity is
determined by the will that comes from within each
individual and the interpretation of the environment
they are in. Human knowledge is obtained through
(1) knowledge sources in their life, (2) various
interactions with each other and the symptoms that
arise, and finally (3) changes that occur in the
surrounding environment. Implicitly, the beginning
of human knowledge is based on the ability to think.
Then, facts are the focus of the discussion about
knowledge. To earn it, a conclusion should be made,
so facts and conclusions are closely related in
achieving knowledge. (Suriasumantri, 2010)
Knowledge is arranged in hierarchical order,
from the most specific level to the universal and
complex level. There are several aspects of
knowledge, namely (1) specific knowledge which
consists of terminological knowledge and specific
knowledge of specific facts; (2) knowledge that
involves specific ways and meanings, which
includes knowledge of conventions / agreements,
knowledge of trends and sequences, knowledge of
classification and category, knowledge of criteria
and knowledge of methodology; (3) universal and
abstract knowledge as knowledge of criteria and
knowledge of methodology; (4) universal
knowledge in a particular field, including knowledge
of principles and generalizations, and knowledge of
theory and structure (Rusuli and Daud, 2015). From
these opinions, it can be concluded that knowledge
is the result of human thought processes obtained by
humans through the five senses and come up with
definite ideas or facts which further underlie the
formation of attitudes and actions. Knowledge is
required by humans to meet needs, overcome
problems that exist in everyday life with an
orientation to improve the welfare of life. This will
continue to grow, due to increasing needs.
Meanwhile, management is a process carried out
to get results through other people. This is consistent
with the opinion (Robbin, 2007) that management is
the process of achieving results efficiently and
through other people. Management is the art of
completing work through other people (Handoko,
2006). This shows that the managers of an
