Life satisfaction or subjective life satisfaction is a measure of well being , used in happiness economics . It represents how satisfied people feel with their life generally, as contrasted with positive affect sometimes called just happiness , which represents how they feel at a single point in time. That is, life satisfaction involves people thinking about their life as a whole, including factors such as whether they are achieving their goals, are doing as well as other people around them, and are happy generally rather than just right now. Life satisfaction is thus a longer term measure than affect. Life satisfaction is typically measured by a questionnaire often a single question e.g. All things considered, how satisfied are you with your life as a whole these days? from the World Values Survey . Responses are usually on a scale out of 5 or 10, ranging from very dissatisfied to very satisfied .

Unreferenced date December 2009 Wills, trusts, estates Satisfaction of legacies is a common law doctrine that affects the disposition of property under a will law will . Under the doctrine, any gift that the maker of the will the testator gives during his lifetime to a named beneficiary of the will is presumptively treated as a satisfaction of that beneficiary s inheritance. After the death of the testator, the amount of the gift would then be deducted from the amount that the beneficiary would otherwise have received, even if it operates to entirely cancel out the inheritance. The presumption applies only when the gift is made after the will has already been executed. Many jurisdictions have repealed the satisfaction of legacies doctrine by statute. Even in those jurisdictions, however, a gift may still be treated as a satisfaction of legacy if such an intention is expressed in a written document made close to the time of the gift and signed by either the testator or the beneficiary. Jurisdictions that have enacted such a statute include Virginia . A similar common law doctrine operates regarding inheritance by intestacy i.e., without a will such a gift is then called an Advancement inheritance advancement . The concepts work similarly, but are independent of one another jurisdictions that have repealed the doctrine of satisfaction of legacies may still have the traditional doctrine of advancement in place. This may be because the law presumes that a person who was possessed of enough sophistication to make a will would know how to amend that will or otherwise document their desire that the gift be deemed satisfied.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Accord and satisfaction is a contract law concept about the purchase of the release from a debt obligation. The payment is typically less than what is owed and is not paid by the actual performance of the original obligation. The accord is the agreement to discharge the obligation and the satisfaction is the legal consideration which binds the parties to the agreement. If a person is sued over an alleged debt, that person bears the burden of proving the affirmative defense of accord and satisfaction. Illustration Contract law Accord and satisfaction is a settlement of an unliquidated debt. For example, a builder is contracted to build a homeowner a garage for 35,000. The contract called for 17,500 prior to starting construction, to disburse 10,000 during various stages of construction, and to make a final payment of 7,500 at completion. At completion, the homeowner complained about inferior work quality and refused to make the final payment. After a mutual settlement agreement, the builder accepted 4,000 as full payment. Thereby, a new contract was formed by offer, acceptance, and consideration. The consideration is that for a 3,500 savings, the homeowner gives up that which he is entitled, a well constructed garage. The builder gives up his right to full price to avoid suit for inferior performance. When accord and settlement has occurred, the homeowner ... and satisfaction.

Marketing Customer advocacy is a specialized form of customer service in which companies focus on what is best for the customer. It is a change in a company s culture that is supported by customer focused customer service and marketing techniques. Customer advocacy business model A customer advocacy policy encompasses all aspects of customer contact, including products, services, sales and complaints. Some examples of a customer advocacy approach are suggesting a product even if the profit margin is less for the company, setting service call appointments based on the customer s, not the company s preferred hours, or recommending a competitor s product because it better meets the customer s needs. Role of the customer advocate Customer advocates are facilitators between customers and the company. They are trained in cross functional roles and empowered to provide customers with assistance in all areas of the business. The role of the customer advocate is three fold To be the main contact for the customer in handling a question or problem and keeping the customer updated with timely and frequent updates as to the progress of resolving the issue. To facilitate a resolution by bringing together the appropriate department heads. To implement a procedure that ensures the problem does not occur again or recommends products or services to better meet customers needs. Measuring customer advocacy Customer advocacy can be integrated into a company s strategic goals and measured through customersatisfaction, retention, and profitability.

, and then the IT Dept. removes the screen savers and displeases the internal customer. In this example the misapplication of customersatisfaction of the internal customer risks the integrity of the computer ...Refimprove date February 2010 Internal customer is a technical term used in management science popularized by Joseph M. Juran He defined an internal and external customers as anyone affected by the product or by the process used to produce the product, in the context of quality management. Internal customers may play the role as supplier, processor, and customer in the sequence of product development. He claimed that the organization must understand and identify both internal and external customers and their needs. The organization must focus on its primary task of satisfying the customer s requirements and expectations. If one department, individual or process within an organization supplies another such within the same organization with goods, information or services then the latter is described as the internal customer of the former. For example, a dispatch department may be the internal customer of a packing department, which in turn may be the internal customer of the manufacturing process. Juran advocated exceeding the customer s expectations. When misapplied, this concept can and does confuse the metric being studied with the complete collegial and bilateral relationship of employees working together, serving the goals of the company. True customers have complete discretion over spending, and unilaterally select when where how and with whom they will do business. So the Internal Customer analogy has limited utility to colleagues and is prone to misapplication. When companies misapply the important metric of customersatisfaction , to colleagues, they run the risk of trying to satisfy the internal customer some employees and not others instead of satisfying the goals ... of pleasing the internal customer.
