Orientation: Literature shows that job description and career prospect are connected to job satisfaction and it is seen that, in Mauritius, job description and career prospect impact job satisfaction. Research purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between job description, career prospect and job satisfaction in Mauritius. Motivation for the study: It has been noticed that employees are dissatisfied when they perform duties outside their job description and also when they see that they do not have a good career prospect. Despite the existence of several researches, limited research exists in the Mauritian context. The outcome will provide significant relevance to existing knowledge. Research approach/design and method: A quantitative approach was adopted and a survey was conducted in a multinational company in Mauritius. A sample of 132 employees was chosen. Main findings: This research unravelled significant negative relationships between job description, career prospect and job satisfaction. The results revealed that, when duties are not well described or when duties are not in line with current responsibilities, the employees are dissatisfied. Similarly, the greater the chances that employees are not given the opportunity to get promoted, the more they are dissatisfied. Practical/managerial implications: Human resource practitioners, managers and team leaders need to recognise that employee’s moods influence the work pattern in the organisation and a clear job description and an appropriate career plan should exist. Contribution/value-add: Literature on the relationship between job description, career prospect and job satisfaction in the context of Mauritius is almost inexistent. This study will add to existing knowledge.

工作描述和职业前景对工作满意度的影响：毛里求斯的定量研究

方向：文献表明，工作描述和职业前景与工作满意度有关，在毛里求斯，工作描述和职业前景影响工作满意度。研究目的：该研究的目的是确定毛里求斯的工作描述，职业前景和工作满意度之间的关系。研究的动机：已经注意到，员工在执行超出其职务说明的职责时以及在看到自己的职业前景不佳时不满意。尽管存在数项研究，但在毛里求斯语境中的研究有限。结果将提供与现有知识的重大关联。研究方法/设计与方法：采用了定量方法，并在毛里求斯的一家跨国公司中进行了调查。选择了132名员工作为样本。主要发现：这项研究揭示了工作描述，职业前景和工作满意度之间的显着负相关关系。结果显示，当职责描述得不当或职责与当前职责不符时，员工会感到不满意。同样，员工没有机会获得晋升的机会越大，他们就越不满意。实际/管理上的含义：人力资源从业人员，管理人员和团队负责人需要认识到员工的情绪会影响组织中的工作模式，并且应该有清晰的职位描述和适当的职业计划。贡献/增值：在毛里求斯的情况下，关于工作描述，职业前景和工作满意度之间关系的文献几乎不存在。这项研究将增加现有知识。
