In the modern era, organizations are facing several challenges due to the dynamic nature of the environment. On the one hand, many practitioners consider working environment as an extra, resource-consuming, non-productive activity, which managers dislike because of the lack of production stemming from it. On the other hand, some argue that productivity and the urge to increase productivity is the major source of malfunctioning working environment, because it raises the bar of what is expected of workers without necessarily giving them extra means orresources to handle this. But one of the manychallenges for a business is to satisfy its employees in order to cope up with the ever changing and evolving environment and toachieve success and remain in competition.
