Job Satisfaction Assessment
A detailed private Backing U self-assessment designed to help you reflect on satisfaction with work across meaning, recognition, workload, relationships, growth, fairness and fit with personal needs. It looks across a sense that my work has meaning or value, feeling recognised and treated fairly, having workable relationships with colleagues and leaders, having opportunities to use strengths and develop and feeling that the role fits my current needs and priorities. The assessment contains 20 questions and is intended to give you a structured wellbeing snapshot, highlight the areas having the greatest effect, and provide practical recommendations for what to do next. It is not designed to diagnose a condition or replace an individual professional assessment.
The Job Satisfaction Assessment is a Backing U educational wellbeing and self-reflection tool. It is not a validated diagnostic instrument, does not provide a clinical diagnosis and does not replace individual assessment or advice from a qualified professional. Scores are influenced by how questions are understood and by the timeframe selected. If several items are marked N/A, the total may be lower and should be interpreted cautiously; individual responses may be more informative than the total score. If difficulties are severe, rapidly worsening, affecting basic functioning or creating safety concerns, seek appropriate professional or urgent support. External resources are provided for further reading and support only. They are operated by independent Australian or UK organisations and their inclusion does not imply endorsement of this Backing U tool.
