According to BasuMallick (2021), job satisfaction could be defined as the level of happiness of the employees with their work and this contentment connected to their daily work, such as with the other workers, managers, satisfaction with firm policy, and the effects of their work on their personal lives.
Many studies of job satisfaction literature reported that female labours had higher levels of job satisfaction than male labours (Zou, 2015).
However, based on the research of (Redmond &
McGuinness, 2019), women and men have preferences of their own job satisfaction such as interest of the genders toward their work and as long as they would get work-life balance.
Clark (1997) mentioned that gender job satisfaction is different in job orientation due to their characteristics experienced and work rewards that both genders get are different.

To conclude, the differences between the both genders in the labour market is that women puts huge priority in work-life balance. Although their wages are not as big as the men, women are more satisfied with their jobs.
The diversity of societies cannot deny how much different the world it is where the perception of women stays at home while men working are irrelevant nowadays.
Other than that, males and females have the same level of job satisfaction generally.
However, the differences in factors that are impacting their contentment, found that males and females are not fully identical in terms of what they are searching for in the experiences of working.
