CHAPTER NO.1

INTRODUCTION


INTRODUCTION

Job satisfaction in regards to one’s feeling or state of mind regarding nature of their work.

Job can be influenced by variety of factors like quality of one’s relationship with their

supervisor, quality of physical environment in which they work, degree of fulfillment in

their work, etc.

Positive attitude towards job are equivalent to job satisfaction where as negative attitude

towards job has been defined variously from time to time. In short job satisfaction is a

person’s attitude towards job.

Job satisfaction is an attitude which results from balancing & summation of many

specific likes and dislikes experienced in connection with the job- their evaluation may

rest largely upon one’s success or failure in the achievement of personal objective and

upon perceived combination of the job and combination towards these ends.

According to pestonejee, Job satisfaction can be taken as a summation of employee’s

feelings in four important areas. These are:

1. Job-nature of work (dull, dangerous, interesting), hours of work, fellow workers,

opportunities on the job for promotion and advancement (prospects), overtime

regulations, interest in work, physical environment, and machines and tools.

2. Management- supervisory treatment, participation, rewards and punishments,

praises and blames, leaves policy and favoritism.

3. Social relations- friends and associates, neighbors, attitudes towards people in

community, participation in social activity socialibility and caste barrier.

4. Personal adjustment-health and emotionality.

Job satisfaction is an important indicator of how employees feel about their job and a

predictor of work behavior such as organizational citizenship, Absenteeism, Turnover.



Job satisfaction benefits the organization includes reduction in complaints and

grievances, absenteeism, turnover, and termination; as well as improved punctuality and

worker morale. Job satisfaction is also linked with a healthier work force and has been

found to be a good indicator of longevity.

Job satisfaction is not synonyms with organizational morale, which the possessions of

feeling have being accepted by and belonging to a group of employees through adherence

to common goals and confidence in desirability of these goals.

Morale is the by-product of the group, while job satisfaction is more an individual state

of mind.



2.1 DEFINITIONS OF JOB SATISFACTION


CHAPTER NO. 2

JOB SATISFACTION


Different authors give various definitions of job satisfaction. Some of them are taken

from the book of D.M. Pestonjee “Motivation and Job Satisfaction” which are given

below:

Job satisfaction is defined as a pleasurable, emotional, state resulting from appraisal of

one’s job. An effective reaction to one’s job.

Weiss

Job satisfaction is general attitude, which is the result of many specific attitudes in three

areas namely:

Specific job factors

Individual characteristics

Group relationship outside the job

Blum and Naylor

Job satisfaction is defined, as it is result of various attitudes the person hold towards the

job, towards the related factors and towards the life in general.

Glimmer

Job satisfaction is defined as “any contribution, psychological, physical, and

environmental circumstances that cause a person truthfully say, ‘I am satisfied with my

job.”

Job satisfaction is defined, as employee’s judgment of how well his job on a whole is

satisfying his various needs Mr. Smith

Job satisfaction is defined as a pleasurable or positive state of mind resulting from

appraisal of one’s job or job experiences.

Locke

2.2 HISTORY OF JOB SATISFACTION



The term job satisfaction was brought to lime light by hoppock (1935). He revived 35

studies on job satisfaction conducted prior to 1933 and observes that Job satisfaction is

combination of psychological, physiological and environmental circumstances. That

causes a person to say. “I m satisfied with my job”. Such a description indicate the

variety of variables that influence the satisfaction of the individual but tell us nothing

about the nature of Job satisfaction.

Job satisfaction has been most aptly defined by pestonjee (1973) as a job, management,

personal adjustment & social requirement. Morse (1953) considers Job satisfaction as

dependent upon job content, identification with the co., financial & job status & priding

group cohesiveness

One of the biggest preludes to the study of job satisfaction was the Hawthorne study.

These studies (1924-1933), primarily credited to Elton Mayo of the Harvard Business

School, sought to find the effects of various conditions (most notably illumination) on

workers’ productivity.

These studies ultimately showed that novel changes in work conditions temporarily

increase productivity (called the Hawthorne Effect). It was later found that this increase

resulted, not from the new conditions, but from the knowledge of being observed.

This finding provided strong evidence that people work for purposes other than pay,

which paved the way for researchers to investigate other factors in job satisfaction.

Scientific management (aka Taylorism) also had a significant impact on the study of job

satisfaction. Frederick Winslow Taylor’s 1911 book, Principles of Scientific

Management, argued that there was a single best way to perform any given work task.

This book contributed to a change in industrial production philosophies, causing a shift

from skilled labor and piecework towards the more modern approach of assembly lines

and hourly wages.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawthorne_Effect

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Business_School

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Business_School


The initial use of scientific management by industries greatly increased productivity

because workers were forced to work at a faster pace. However, workers became

exhausted and dissatisfied, thus leaving researchers with new questions to answer

regarding job satisfaction.

It should also be noted that the work of W.L. Bryan, Walter Dill Scott, and Hugo

Munsterberg set the tone for Taylor’s work.

Some argue that Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, a motivation theory, laid the

foundation for job satisfaction theory. This theory explains that people seek to satisfy five

specific needs in life – physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, self-esteem needs,

and self-actualization. This model served as a good basis from which early researchers

could develop job satisfaction theories.

2.3 IMPORTANCE OF JOB SATISFACTION

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_M%C3%BCnsterberg

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_M%C3%BCnsterberg

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Dill_Scott


Job satisfaction is an important indicator of how employees feel about their job

and a predictor of work behavior such as organizational, citizenship,

Absenteeism, Turnover.

Job satisfaction can partially mediate the relationship of personality variables and

deviant work behavior.

Common research finding is that job satisfaction is correlated with life style.

This correlation is reciprocal meaning the people who are satisfied with the life

tends to be satisfied with their jobs and the people who are satisfied their jobs

tends to satisfied with their life.

This is vital piece of information that is job satisfaction and job performance is

directly related to one another. Thus it can be said that, “A happy worker is a

productive worker.”

It gives clear evidence that dissatisfied employees skip work more often and more

like to resign and satisfied worker likely to work longer with the organization.

2.4 IMPORTANCE TO WORKER AND ORGANIZATION



Job satisfaction and occupational success are major factors in personal satisfaction, self-

respect, self-esteem, and self-development. To the worker, job satisfaction brings a

pleasurable emotional state that can often leads to a positive work attitude. A satisfied

worker is more likely to be creative, flexible, innovative, and loyal.

For the organization, job satisfaction of its workers means a work force that is

motivated and committed to high quality performance. Increased productivity- the

quantity and quality of output per hour worked- seems to be a byproduct of improved

quality of working life. It is important to note that the literature on the relationship

between job satisfaction and productivity is neither conclusive nor consistent.

However, studies dating back to Herzberg’s (1957) have shown at least low

correlation between high morale and high productivity and it does seem logical that more

satisfied workers will tend to add more value to an organization.

Unhappy employees, who are motivated by fear of loss of job, will not give 100

percent of their effort for very long. Though fear is a powerful motivator, it is also a

temporary one, and also as soon as the threat is lifted performance will decline.

Job satisfaction benefits the organization includes reduction in complaints and

grievances, absenteeism, turnover, and termination; as well as improved punctuality and

worker morale. Job satisfaction is also linked with a healthier work force and has been

found to be a good indicator of longevity.

Although only little correlation has been found between job satisfaction and

productivity, Brown (1996) notes that some employers have found that satisfying or

delighting employees is a prerequisite to satisfying or delighting customers, thus

protecting the “bottom line”.

2.5 WORKERS ROLE IN JOB SATISFACTION



If job satisfaction is a worker benefit, surely the worker must be able to contribute to his

or her own satisfaction and well being on the job. The following suggestions can help a

worker find personal job satisfaction: Seek opportunities to demonstrate skills and talents.

This often leads to more challenging work and greater responsibilities, with attendant

increases in pay and other recognition.

Develop excellent communication skills. Employer’s value and rewards excellent

reading, listening, writing and speaking skills.

Know more. Acquire new job related knowledge that helps you to perform tasks more

efficiently and effectively. This will relive boredom and often gets one noticed.

Demonstrate creativity and initiative. Qualities like these are valued by most

organizations and often results in recognition as well as in increased responsibilities and

rewards.

Develop teamwork and people skills. A large part of job success is the ability to work

well with others to get the job done.

Accept the diversity in people. Accept people with their differences and their

imperfections and learn how to give and receive criticism constructively.

See the value in your work. Appreciating the significance of what one does can lead to

satisfaction with the work itself. This help to give meaning to one’s existence, thus

playing a vital role in job satisfaction.

Learn to de-stress. Plan to avoid burn out by developing healthy stress management

techniques.

2.6 FACTORS OF JOB SATISFACTION



Hoppock, the earliest investigator in this field, in 1935 suggested that there are six major

components of job satisfaction. These are as under:

The way the individual reacts to unpleasant situations,

The facility with which he adjusted himself with other person

The relative status in the social and economic group with which he identifies

himself

The nature of work in relation to abilities, interest and preparation of worker

Security

Loyalty

Herberg, mausaer, Peterson and capwell in 1957 reviewed more than 150 studies and

listed various job factors of job satisfaction. These are briefly defined one by one as

follows:

1. Intrinsic aspect of job

It includes all of the many aspects of the work, which would tend to be constant for

the work regardless of where the work was performed.

2. Supervision

This aspect of job satisfaction pertains to relationship of worker with his immediate

superiors. Supervision, as a factor, generally influences job satisfaction.

3. Working conditions

This includes those physical aspects of environment which are not necessary a part of

the work. Hours are included this factor because it is primarily a function of

organization, affecting the individuals comfort and convenience in much the same

way as other physical working conditions.

4. Wage and salaries

This factor includes all aspect of job involving present monitory remuneration for

work done.

5. Opportunities for advancement



It includes all aspect of job which individual sees as potential sources of betterment of

economic position, organizational status or professional experience.

6. Security

It is defined to include that feature of job situation, which leads to assurance for

continued employment, either within the same company or within same type of work

profession.

7. Company & management

It includes the aspect of worker’s immediate situation, which is a function of

organizational administration and policy. It also involves the relationship of employee

with all company superiors above level of immediate supervision.

8. Social aspect of job

It includes relationship of worker with the employees specially those employees at

same or nearly same level within the organization.

9. Communication

It includes job situation, which involves spreading the information in any direction

within the organization. Terms such as information of employee’s status, information

on new developments, information on company line of authority, suggestion system,

etc, are used in literature to represent this factor.

10. Benefits

It includes those special phases of company policy, which attempts to prepare the

worker for emergencies, illness, old age, also. Company allowances for holidays,

leaves and vacations are included within this factor.

2.7 REASONS OF LOW JOB SATISFACTION



Reasons why employees may not be completely satisfied with their jobs:

1. Conflict between co-workers.

2. Conflict between supervisors.

3. Not being opportunity paid for what they do.

4. Have little or no say in decision making that affect employees.

5. Fear of loosing their job.

2.8 EFFECTS OF LOW JOB SATISFACTION



1. HIGH ABSENTEEISM

Absenteeism means it is a habitual pattern of absence from duty or obligation.

If there will be low job satisfaction among the employees the rate of absenteeism

will definitely increase and it also affects on productivity of organization.

In the above diagram line AB shows inverse relationship between job satisfaction and

rate of turn over and rate of absenteesm.

As th job satisfaction is high the rate of both turn over and absentiseesm is low and vise a

versa.

In human resource refers to characteristics of a given company or industry relative to the

rate at which an employer gains and losses the staff.

If the employer is said to be have a high turnover of employees of that company

have shorter tenure than those of other companies.

3.TRAINING COST INCREASES

As employees leaves organization due to lack of job satisfaction. Then Human resource

manager has to recruit new employees. So that the training expenditure will increases.

2.9 INFLUENCES ON JOB SATISFACTION



There are no. of factors that influence job satisfaction. For example, one recent study

even found that if college students majors coinsided with their job , this relationship will

predicted subsequent job satisfaction. However, the main influences can be summerised

along with the dimentions identified above.

The work itself

The concept of work itself is a major source of satisfaction. For example, research related

to the job charactoristics approach to job design, shows that feedback from job itself and

autonomy are two of the major job related motivational factors. Some of the most

important ingridents of a satisfying job uncovered by survey include intersting and

challenging work, work that is not boring, and the job that provides status.

Pay

Wages and salaries are recognised to be a significant, but complex, multidimentional

factor in job satisfaction. Money not only helps people attain their basic needs butevel

need satisfaction. Employees often see pay as a reflection of how managemnet view their

conrtibution to the organization. Fringe benefits are also important.

If the employees are allowed some flexibility in choosing the type of benefits they prefer

within a total package, called a flexible benefit plan, there is a significant increase in

both benefit satisfaction and overall job satisfaction.

Promotions

Promotional opportunities are seem to be have avarying effect on job satisfaction. This

is because of promotion take number of different forms.

WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF JOB SATISFACTION?



Many managers subscribe to the belief that a satisfied worker is necessarily good

worker. In other words, if management could keep the entire worker’s happy”, good

performance would automatically fallow. There are two propositions concerning the

satisfaction performance relation ship. The first proposition, which is based on

traditional view, is that satisfaction is the effect rather than the cause of performance.

This proposition says that efforts in a job leads to rewards, which results in a certain

level of satisfaction .in another proposition, both satisfaction and performance are

considered to be functions of rewards.

Various research studies indicate that to a certain extent job satisfaction affects

employee turn over, and consequently organization can gain from lower turn over in

terms of lower hiring and training costs. Also research has shown an inverse relation

between job satisfaction and absenteeism. When job satisfaction is high there would

be low absenteeism, but when job satisfaction is low, it is more likely to lead a high

absenteeism.

What job satisfaction people need?

Each employee wants:

1. Recognition as an individual

2. Meaningful task

3. An opportunity to do something worthwhile.

4. Job security for himself and his family

5. Good wages

6. Adequate benefits

7. Opportunity to advance

8. No arbitrary action- a voice a matters affecting him

9. Satisfactory working conditions

10. Competence leadership- bosses whom he can admire and respect as persons

and as bosses.

However, the two concepts are interrelated in that job satisfaction can contribute to

morale and morale can contribute to job satisfaction.



It must be remembered that satisfaction and motivation are not synonyms. Motivation is a

drive to perform, where as satisfaction reflects the individual’s attitude towards the

situation. The factors that determine whether individual is adequately satisfied with the

job differs from those that determine whether he or she is motivated. the level of job

satisfaction is largely determined by the comfits offered by the environment and the

situation . Motivation, on the other hand is largely determine by value of reward and their

dependence on performance. The result of high job satisfaction is increased commitment

to the organization, which may or may not result in better performance.

A wide range of factors affects an individual’s level of satisfaction. While organizational

rewards can and do have an impact, job satisfaction is primarily determine by factors that

are usually not directly controlled by the organization. a high level of job satisfaction lead

to organizational commitment, while a low level, or dissatisfaction, result in a behavior

detrimental to the organization. For example, employee who like their jobs, supervisors,

and the factors related to the job will probably be loyal and devoted. People will work

harder and derive satisfaction if they are given the freedom to make their own decisions.



MODELS OF JOB SATISFACTION


CHAPTER NO. 3

MODELS OF JOB SATISFACTION


There are various methods and theories of measuring job satisfaction level of employees

in the orgnization given by different authers.

List of all the theorise and methods measuring job satisfaction level is given below:

A MODEL OF FACET SATISFACTION

Affect theory(Edwin A. Locke 1976)

Dispositional Theory( Timothy A. Judge 1988)

Two-Factor Theory (Motivator-Hygiene Theory) (Frederick Herzberg’s)

Job Characteristics Model (Hackman & Oldham)

Scheduled rest periods

3.1 MODEL OF FACET OF JOB SATISFACTION


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Herzberg


Fig.no.2 Model of determinant of facet of job satisfaction

Edward E.lawler in 1973 propoed a model of facet satisfaction. This model is applicable

to understand what determines a person’s satisfaction with any facet of job.

According to this model actual outcome level plays a key role in a person’s perception of

what rewards he recieves. His perception influenced by his perception of what his

referent others recieves. The higher outcome level of his referent other the lower his

outcome level will appear. This model also focus on his perception on reward level.

Edwin A. Locke’s Range of Affect Theory (1976) is arguably the most famous job

satisfaction model. The main premise of this theory is that satisfaction is determined by a

discrepancy between what one wants in a job and what one has in a job. Further, the

theory states that how much one values a given facet of work (e.g. the degree of

autonomy in a position) moderates how satisfied/dissatisfied one becomes when

expectations are/aren’t met. When a person values a particular facet of a job, his

satisfaction is more greatly impacted both positively (when expectations are met) and

negatively (when expectations are not met), compared to one who doesn’t value that

facet. To illustrate, if Employee A values autonomy in the workplace and Employee B is

indifferent about autonomy, then Employee A would be more satisfied in a position that

offers a high degree of autonomy and less satisfied in a position with little or no

autonomy compared to Employee B. This theory also states that too much of a particular

facet will produce stronger feelings of dissatisfaction the more a worker values that facet.

3.3 DISPOSITIONAL THEORY



Another well-known job satisfaction theory is the Dispositional Theory it is a very

general theory that suggests that people have innate dispositions that cause them to have

tendencies toward a certain level of satisfaction, regardless of one’s job. This approach

became a notable explanation of job satisfaction in light of evidence that job satisfaction

tends to be stable over time and across careers and jobs. Research also indicates that

identical twins have similar levels of job satisfaction.

A significant model that narrowed the scope of the Dispositional Theory was the Core

Self-evaluations Model, proposed by Timothy A. Judge in 1998. Judge argued that there

are four Core Self-evaluations that determine one’s disposition towards job satisfaction:

self-esteem, general self-efficacy, locus of control, and neuroticism. This model states

that higher levels of self-esteem (the value one places on his self) and general self-

efficacy (the belief in one’s own competence) lead to higher work satisfaction. Having an

internal locus of control (believing one has control over her\his own life, as opposed to

outside forces having control) leads to higher job satisfaction. Finally, lower levels of

neuroticism lead to higher job satisfaction

3.4 TWO-FACTOR THEORY (MOTIVATOR-HYGIENE THEORY)


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroticism

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroticism

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_of_control

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-efficacy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-esteem


Frederick Hertzberg’s Two-factor theory (also known as Motivator Hygiene Theory)

attempts to explain satisfaction and motivation in the workplace. This theory states that

satisfaction and dissatisfaction are driven by different factors – motivation and hygiene

factors, respectively. Motivating factors are those aspects of the job that make people

want to perform, and provide people with satisfaction. These motivating factors are

considered to be intrinsic to the job, or the work carried out.Motivating factors include

aspects of the working environment such as pay, company policies, supervisory practices,

and other working conditions.

While Hertzberg's model has stimulated much research, researchers have been unable to

reliably empirically prove the model, with Hackman & Oldham suggesting that

Hertzberg's original formulation of the model may have been a methodological

artifactFurthermore, the theory does not consider individual differences, conversely

predicting all employees will react in an identical manner to changes in

motivating/hygiene factors.. Finally, the model has been criticised in that it does not

specify how motivating/hygiene factors are to be measured]

3.5 JOB CHARACTERISTICS MODEL


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_factor_theory

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Herzberg


Hackman & Oldham proposed the Job Characteristics Model, which is widely used as a

framework to study how particular job characteristics impact on job outcomes, including

job satisfaction.

The model states that there are five core job characteristics (skill variety, task identity,

task significance, autonomy, and feedback) which impact three critical psychological

states (experienced meaningfulness, experienced responsibility for outcomes, and

knowledge of the actual results), in turn influencing work outcomes (job satisfaction,

absenteeism, work motivation, etc.).

The five core job characteristics can be combined to form a motivating potential score

(MPS) for a job, which can be used as an index of how likely a job is to affect an

employee's attitudes and behaviors.

A meta-analysis of studies that assess the framework of the model provides some support

for the validity of the JCM.

3.6 MODERN METHOD OF MEASURING JOB SATISFACTION


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta-analysis

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_Characteristics_Model


In this method of measuring job satisfaction the comparision between various

orgnizational terms and conditions at managerial level and also the orgnization at a large.

SATISFACTION WITH HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT POLICIES OF

THE ORGANIZATION:

1. Management has a clear path for employee’s advancement

2. Decisions are made keeping in mind the good of the employees

3. Management is extremely fair in personal policies

4. Physical working conditions are supportive in attaining targets

5. I nnovativeness is encouraged to meet business problems.

SATISFACTION WITH SUPERVISION

1. I feel I can trust what my supervisor tells me

2. My supervisor treats me fairly and with respect

3. My supervisor handles my work-related issues satisfactorily

4. I get frequent appreciation of work done from supervisors

5. I get enough support from the supervisor

6.Individual initiative is encouraged

SATISFACTION WITH COMPENSATION LEVELS

1. Overall I am satisfied with the company’s compensation package

2. I am satisfied with the medical benefits

3. I am satisfied with the conveyance allowance

4. I am satisfied with the retirement benefits

5. I am satisfied with the reimbursement of the expenses as per the eligibility

6. I am satisfied with the holiday (vacation) eligibilities

SATISFACTION WITH TASK CLARITY



1. Management decisions are Ad Hoc and lack professionalism (reverse scaled)

2. Rules and procedures are followed uncompromisingly

3. My job responsibilities are well defined and clear

SATISFACTION WITH CAREER DEVELOPMENT

1. I have adequate opportunities to learn and grow

2. I get opportunities to handle greater responsibilities

3. My skills and abilities are adequately used at work

From all above we can conclude level of job satisfaction of our employees.

3.7 RATING SCALE

It is one of the most common methods of measuring job satisfaction. The popular

rating scale used to measure Job satisfaction is to include:

Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaires: It helps to obtain a clear picture of pertinent

satisfactions and dissatisfactions of employees.

Job Description Index: it measures Job satisfaction on the dimension identified by

Smith, Kendall, Hullin.

Porter Need Identification Questionnaires: It is used only for management personnel

and revolves around the problems and challenges faced by managers.

3.8 CRITICAL INCIDENTS

Fredrick Hertz berg and his Associates popularized this method of measuring Job

satisfaction. It involves asking employees to described incidents on job when they were

particularly satisfied or dissatisfied. Then the incidents are analyzed in terms of their

contents and identifying those related aspects responsible for the positive and negative

attitudes.

3.09 PERSONAL INTERVIEWS



This method facilitates an in-depth exploration through interviewing of job attitudes.

The main advantage in this method is that additional information or clarifications can

be obtained promptly.

3.10 ACTION TENDENCIES

By this method, Job satisfaction can be measured by asking questions and gathering

information on how they feel like behaving with respect to certain aspects of their

jobs. This method provides employees more opportunity to express their in-depth

feeling.

In his study on American employees, hoppock identified six factors that contributed

to job satisfaction among them. These are as follows:

1. The way individual reacts to unpleasant situations.

2. The facilities with which he adjust himself to other persons.

3. His relative’s status in the social & economic group with which he identifies

himself.

4. The nature of work in relation to the abilities, interest & preparation of the

workers.

5. Security.

6. Loyalty.

Because human resource manager often serve as intermediaries between employees &

management in conflct.they are concern with Job satisfaction or general job attitudes with

the employees.

Philip apple white has listed the five major components of Job satisfaction .as

1. Attitude towards work group.

2. General working conditions.

3. Attitude towards company.

4. Monitory benefits &

5. Attitude towards supervision

Other components that should be added to this five are individual’s state of mind about

the work itself and about the life in general .the individual’s health, age, level of



aspiration. Social status and political & social activities can all contribute to the Job

satisfaction. A person’s attitude toward his or her job may be positive or negative.

3.11 JOB ENLARGEMENT

The concept of job enlargement originated after World War II. It is simply the organizing

of the work so as to relate the contents of the job to the capacity, actual and potential, of

workers. Job enlargement is oblivious forerunner of the concept and philosophy of job

design. Stephan offers three basic assumptions behind the concept of job enlargement.

Output will increase if

1. Workers abilities are fully utilized

2. Worker has more control over the work

3. Workers interest in work and workplace is stimulated.

Job enlargement is a generic term that broadly means adding more and different tasks to

a specialized job. It may widen the number of task the employee must do that is, add

variety. When additional simple task are added to a job, the process is called horizontal

job enlargement. This also presumably adds interest to the work and reduces monotony

and boredom.

To check harmful effects of specialization, the engineering factors involved in each

individual job must be carefully analyzed. Perhaps, the assembly lines can be shortened

so that there will be more lines and fewer workers on each line. Moreover, instead of

assigning one man to each job and then allowed to decide for himself how to organize the

work. Such changes permit more social contacts and greater control over the work

process.

3.12 JOB ROTATION

Job rotation involves periodic assignments of an employee to completely different sets of

job activities. One way to tackle work routine is to use the job rotation. When an activity

is no longer challenging, the employee is rotated to another job, at the same level that has

similar skill requirements.

Many companies are seeking a solution to on-the-job boredom through systematically

moving workers from one job to another. This practice provides more varieties and gives



employees a chance to learn additional skills. The company also benefits since the

workers are qualified to perform a number of different jobs in the event of an emergency.

3.13 CHANGE OF PACE

Anything that will give the worker a chance to change his pace when he wishes will lend

variety to his work. Further if workers are permitted to change their pace that would give

them a sense of accomplishment.

3.14 SCHEDULED REST PERIODS

Extensive research on the impact of rest periods indicates that they may increase both

morale and productivity. Scheduled rest periods bring many advantages:

They counteract physical fatigue

They provide variety and relieve monotony

They are something to look forward to- getting a break gives a sense of achievement.

They provide opportunities for social contacts.



RESEARCH METHODOLOGY


CHAPTER NO. 4

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY


4.1 INTRODUCTION

Research refers to a search for knowledge. It is a systematic method of collecting and

recording the facts in the form of numerical data relevant to the formulated problem and

arriving at certain conclusions over the problem based on collected data.

Thus formulation of the problem is the first and foremost step in the research process

followed by the collection, recording, tabulation and analysis and drawing the

conclusions. The problem formulation starts with defining the problem or number of

problems in the functional area. To detect the functional area and locate the exact

problem is most important part of any research as the whole research is based on the

problem.

According to Clifford Woody research comprises defining and redefining problems,

formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions: collecting, organizing and evaluating data:

making deductions and reaching conclusions: and at last carefully testing the conclusions

to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis.

Research can be defined as “the manipulation of things, concepts or symbols for

the purpose of generalizing to extend, correct or verify knowledge, whether that

knowledge aids in construction of theory or in the practice of an art”

In short, the search for knowledge through objective and systematic method of

finding solution to a problem is research.

4.2 DRAFTING QUESTIONNAIRE



The questionnaire is considered as the most important thing in a survey operation. Hence

it should be carefully constructed. Structured questionnaire consist of only fixed

alternative questions. Such type of questionnaire is inexpensive to analysis and easy to

administer. All questions are closed ended.

4.3SAMPLING

It was divided into following parts:

Sampling universe

All the employees are the sampling universe for the research.

Sampling technique

Judgmental sampling

Sample was taken on judgmental basis. The advantage of sampling are that it is much less

costly, quicker and analysis will become easier. Sample size taken was 100 employees.

The research has been undertaken with following objectives.

To study the level of job satisfaction among the employees of SEVA Automotive

Pvt. Ltd. if any.

To study the methods of measuring job satisfaction of SEVA Automotive Pvt.

4.5 DATA COLLECTION



The task of data collection begins after the research problem has been defined and

research design chalked out. While deciding the method of data collection to be used for

the study, the researcher should keep in mind two types of data viz. Primary and

secondary data.

Primary Data: -

The primary data are those, which are collected afresh and for the first time and

thus happen to be original in character. The primary data were collected through well-

designed and structured questionnaires based on the objectives.

Secondary Data:

The secondary data are those, which have already been collected by someone else

and passed through statistical process. The secondary data required of the research was

collected through various newspapers, and Internet etc.

THE MARUTI DNA

Maruti Suzuki was born as a government company, with Suzuki as a minor partner, to

make a people's car for middle class India. Over the years, our product range has

widened, ownership has changed hands and the customer has evolved. What remains

unchanged, then and now, is our mission to motorize India.

Our parent company, Suzuki Motor Corporation, has been a global leader in mini and

compact cars for three decades. Suzuki's technical superiority lies in its ability to pack

power and performance into a compact, lightweight engine that is clean and fuel-

efficient. The same characteristics make our cars extremely relevant to Indian customers

and Indian conditions. Product quality, safety and cost consciousness are embedded into

our manufacturing process, which we have inherited from its parent company.

Right from inception, Maruti brought to India, a very simple yet powerful Japanese

philosophy 'smaller, fewer lighter, shorter and neater'

From the Japanese work culture it imbibed simple practices like an open office, a

common uniform and common canteen for everyone from the Managing Director to the

workman, daily morning exercise, and quality circle teams.

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS

All the conclusions are drawn based on the analysis and interpretation of the primary

data regarding the job satisfaction of the employees of SEVA Automotive private

limited, Nagpur.

From the analysis and interpretation, it is concluded that most of the employees

are satisfied with the workplace and only few employees are not satisfied with the

workplace, which are negligible in number. And similarly in case of infrastructure

most of the employees are satisfied and very small number of employees are not



happy with the infrastructure of SEVA and the canteen facilities. It means the

workplace and infra structure of SEVA is good or satisfactory.

It is concluded that near about all the employees are satisfied with implementation

of rules and responsibilities. And only some of them are not seems to be satisfied

with the implementing rules and responsibilities. Therefore it shows that

implementation of rule and responsibility is done fairly.

From the study it is clear that the higher percentage of employees are happy with

the freedom at work given by management but only some of them are not feeling

satisfied with the freedom given at work place.

According to analysis and interpretation, most of the employees are satisfied with

the team spirit built in organization and only few are not happy with team spirit in

the organization. From this it seems that the team spirit in the organization is

strong.

This study shows that only few employees strongly feel that the working hours

decided by organization are most convenient for them. Other is not in favor with

these working hours. So it is clear that the management kept the main

consideration about working conditions and the hours, which satisfies the

employees.

The study shows that very small numbers of employees are satisfied with the job

security. And remaining most of the employees are not satisfied with the job

security provided by the organization. Hence from this analysis it is cleared that

there is feeling of fear of job loss in the employees of SEVA.

An analysis shows that employees are strongly in favor that the targets given are

achievable and only are not feels that the targets given are achievable. Hence the

targets set by management are achievable.

From the analysis it is concluded that very small number of employees are

satisfied with the payment as per their roles and responsibility and remaining all

are not satisfied with the payment according to their roles and responsibilities.

Hence from this analysis it can be cleared that payment according to roles and

responsibilities are not much satisfied.



Only little number of the employees is satisfied with the opportunities of

promotions given by organization. It shows that the employees do not have any

growth of opportunities. Analysis shows that the payment of salary is made

always on time.

From the analysis and interpretation it is clear that very large number of the

respondents are satisfied with the quality of training and induction program and in

house training held by the management. And few are not satisfied with the quality

of in house training. But the period of training is not satisfactory to the

employees.

From the analysis it is clear that HR division is most satisfactory to all employees

only few are not satisfied with the HR division in the company.

In case of performance appraisal system and the office events and parties

organized by the organization near about all the employees are satisfied. The

birthdays of all the employees are remembered and celebrated in the organization.

It is concluded that the employees are not much satisfied with the forum for face-

to-face communication. From the analysis it is clear that half of the employees are

satisfied and other half are not satisfied with the encouragement given to the

suggestions of the employees. But only few thinks that there is positive

acceptance of the suggestions given by the employees. From the analysis it is

clear that management keeps all the promises.

SUGGESTIONS

The suggestions are drawn from the analysis and observations. Few suggestions are given

as under:

In case of working hours decided by the organization are not convenient for the

employees of SEVA Automotive Private Limited, Nagpur. The working hours are

10 hours per day that from 8AM to 6PM. These hours should minimize up to 8

hours.



The criteria for Job security is not much satisfactory so management have

concentrate on job security of employees so that they can work without fear of job

loss in the organization.

Opportunities of growth of employees are very less so that there can be employee

turnover hence management has to give emphasis on increasing the promotion

opportunities for according to the performance of employees.

From analysis we concluded that the period of in house training is very short that

is of only 3 days, which is not sufficient to get complete knowledge about the

work. Hence the training period should extend up to 5 days.

As there is an active participation of employees in decision making but rarely the

suggestions given by them are drawn in action. Hence the confidence of

employees gets demotivated.

So to motivate the employees management can take into consideration some

proper suggestions given by the employees. It will help to increase the motivation

and ultimately the Job satisfaction of the employees of SEVA Automotive Private

Limited, Nagpur.
