can you identify situations in which your job attitudes directly influenced your behavior?
Job satisfaction refers to how satisfied and happy workers are while doing their related jobs. It tells about if they like or not the nature of their job, organisational behaviour towards them, the aspects of their job and also the managerial supervision on them. It could be measured in affective, cognitive and even in behavioural components.
High job satisfaction simply means that the employees are very much involved and satisfied in their jobs. Outcomes of the same would be:
1. Good Motivated Workforce: Having a high job satisfaction is directly related with a high degree of motivation within the employees to perform in a better way. Thus, employees getting a good enviromment to work in would show the positive signs of motivation within themselves to achieve target goals.

This would directly relate with your behaviour you would now work in such a manner where you also want your organisation to achieve its goals.
