Find a job that's properly managed. There are several areas that affect employee satisfaction. Without sounding like an HR textbook (which, coincidentally, I'm reading right now), employees are motivated by such things as training and development, pay raises, support from managers, enjoyable working relationships with co-workers, and a feeling of their job making an impact in the company. Other factors of job satisfaction include: a good match for the position, working hours flexibility, work/life balance, job security, fair treatment, etc.
If you lack some or all of these things, you aren't in the right kind of job.
Many jobs (I'm guessing) are poorly managed.
