INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Job satisfaction is the feeling an employee gets, when the job he does fulfils all his
expectations.
The happier people are within their job, the more satisfied they are said to be. Job Satisfaction
is not the same as motivation, although it is clearly linked. Job design to aims to enhance jab
satisfaction and performance, method include job rotation, job enlargement and job
enrichment. Other influence on satisfaction include the satisfaction include the management
style and culture, employee involvement, empowerment and autonomous work groups. Job
satisfaction is a very important attribute which is frequently measured by organizations. The
most common way of measurement is the use of rating scales where employees report their
reaction to their jobs question relate of pay, work responsibilities, variety of tasks
promotional opportunities the work itself and co-workers.
Definition
Pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of ones job or job
experience.
Job satisfaction is the amount of pleasure contentment associated with a job. If you like your
job intensely, you will experience high job satisfaction. If you dislike your job intensely you
will experience job satisfaction.
Factors Influencing Job Satisfaction:
There are a number of factors that influence job satisfaction. A number of research studies
have been conducted in order to establish some of the causes that result in job satisfaction.
These studies have revealed consistent correlation of certain variables with the job
satisfaction.
A. Organisational Factors:
Wages and salaries play a significant role in influencing job satisfaction. This is basically
because of a few basic reasons. Firstly, money is an important instrument in fulfilling ones
needs. Money also satisfies the first level needs of Maslows model of satisfaction. Secondly,
employees often see money as a reflection of the managements concern for them. Thirdly, it
is considered a symbol of achievement since higher pay reflects higher degree of contribution
towards organizational operations.
2. Promotion Chances:
Promotional chances considerably affect the job satisfaction because of the following
reasons:
Firstly, Promotion indicates on employees worth to the organisation which is highly morale
boosing. This is particularly true in case of high level jobs. .
Secondly, Employee takes promotion as the ultimate achievement in his career and when it is
realized, he feels extremely satisfied.
Thirdly, Promotion involves positive changes e.g. higher salary, less supervision, more
freedom, more challenging work assignments, increased responsibilities, status and like.
3. Company Policies:
Organizational structural and policies also play on important role in affecting the job
satisfaction of employees. An autocratic and highly authoritative structure causes resentment
among the employees as compared to a structure which is more open and democratic in
nature.
1. Supervision:
Supervision is a moderately important source of job satisfaction. There are two dimensions of
supervisory styles which affect the job satisfaction:
2. Work Group:
The nature of the work group or team will have effect on job satisfaction in the following
ways:
(i) A friendly, and co-operative group provides opportunities to the group members to interact
with each other. It serves as a source of support, comfort, advice and assistance to the
individual group members. If on the other hand, the people are difficult to get along with, the
work group will have a negative impact on job satisfaction.
(ii) The work group will be even a stronger source of satisfaction when members have similar
attitudes and values. In such a group, there will less friction on day to day basis.
(iii) Smaller groups provide greater opportunity for building mutual trust and understanding
as compared to larger groups.
Thus, the group size and quality of interpersonal relations within the group play a significant
role in workers satisfaction.
3. Working Conditions:
Good working conditions are desirable by the employees, as they lead to more physical
comfort. People desire that there should be a clean and healthy working environment.
Temperature, humidity, ventilation, lighting and noise, hours of work, cleanliness of the work
place and adequate tools and equipment are the features which affect job satisfaction. While
the desirable working conditions are taken for granted and may not contribute heavily
towards job satisfaction. Poor working conditions do become a source of job dissatisfaction.
C. Work Itself:
The content of the work itself plays a major role in determining the level of job satisfaction.
Some of the aspects of the work which affect job satisfaction are:
(i) Job Scope:
It provides the amount of responsibility, work pace and feedback. The higher the level of
these factors, higher the job scope and higher the level of satisfaction.
(ii) Variety:
A moderate amount of variety is very effective. Excessive variety produces confusion and
stress and a too little variety causes monotony and fatigue which are dis-satisfiers
Lack of autonomy and freedom over work methods and work pace can create helplessness
and dissatisfaction. Employees do not like it when their every step and every action is
determined by their supervisor.
Role ambiguity and role conflict also lead to confusion and job dissatisfaction because
employees do not know exactly what their task is and what is expected of them.
A work which is very interesting and challenging and provides status will be providing
satisfaction to the employees as compared to work which is boring and monotonous.
D. Personal Factors:
Personal attributes of the individuals also play a very important role as to whether they are
satisfied at the job or not. Pessimists and people with negative attitudes will complain about
everything including the job. They will always find something wrong in every job to
complain about.
Objectives of the Study:
Primary objectives:
Secondary Objectives
The findings of the study are restricted to the employees of vimala Company.

CHAPTER-III
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
The Job Satisfaction is an important and widely discussed research topic in almost all the
fields. Since the rise of the human relations movement in industry in the thirties and forties,
Job Satisfaction has become a major focus of research. Many researchers have focussed on
Job Satisfaction ever since the revelations made by the Hawthorne high-lightings, and its
importance in effective human relations leading to Organizational effectiveness. Review of
literature is the most important aspect in any research work. It is a measure, stating the recent
output on a particular area of research and organised in a helpful sequence to strengthen the
present research techniques. The main objective of the review of literature is to understand
the research activities that have taken place in a particular discipline in general and the area
of research in particular.
The organizational literature includes a number of studies examining the relationship between
satisfaction and commitment. In all, the discrepant findings characteristic of this research
seem to be a function of both the range of independent variables used by researchers to model
the job satisfaction organizational commitment relationship and the choice of satisfaction-
commitment measures. We related to "global" evaluations of systems, leaders, and
institutions (e.g., commitment); whereas distributive justice is closely linked to evaluations of
"specific" personally relevant outcomes (e.g., facet satisfaction). Four competing models
linking distributive and procedural justice to employee satisfaction and commitment were
tested using confirmatory analytic techniques. Results suggest that, when considering the role
of justice judgments, satisfaction and commitment are causally independent.
The Determinants of Job Satisfaction among United States Air Force Security Police
The volumes literature on workplace attitudes has identified two competing types as
determinants of employee job satisfaction demographic characteristics of individuals and the
characteristics of the work environment. This research tests the relative effects of these two
sources of variation in job satisfaction among United States Air Force security police. Our
findings suggest that work environment variables produce significant effects on employee job
satisfaction, while demographic variables, generally, failed to demonstrate appreciable
influence. Since the former are a matter of public management practices and policies while
the latter are fixed features of employee background, the impaction of these findings is that
public sector managers' leadership and management activities have sumptuous consequences
for employee job satisfaction.
This study assessed the impact of participation in a health promotion program and
engagement in healthy behaviors on job satisfaction. A survey response rate of 70% (n =
1,283) was obtained at a northern state university with an established worksite health
promotion program. Significant differences in job satisfaction were obtained by education
level, job classification, marital status, dependents, and regular exercise behaviors. No
differences in job satisfaction were obtained by health promotion program involvement or
any other health behaviour other than regular exercise. Results suggest that health promotion
programs do not significantly impact job satisfaction. Rather, job design and the psychosocial
aspects of the work environment may be more influential in improving job satisfaction. Based
on the results of this study, organizations attempting to improve employee health should
provide health promotion programs and address the job itself. To improve job satisfaction,
attention to the job itself is required.
Review and conceptual analysis of the employee job satisfaction of bank employees
Uma Sekaran,
Using a sample of 267 bank employees, this study traced the paths to the job
satisfaction of employees at the workplace through the quality of life factors of job
involvement and sense of competence. Results indicated that personal, job, and
organizational climate factors influenced the ego investment or job involvement of people in
their jobs, which in turn influenced the intrapsychic reward of sense of competence that they
experienced, which then directly influenced employees' job satisfaction. Implications of these
findings for managers are discussed.
With age, people become more mature and realistic and less idealistic so that they are willing
to accept available resources and rewards and be satisfied about the situation. With the
passage of time, people move into more challenging and responsible positions. People who
do not move up at all with time are more likely to be dissatisfied with their jobs.
2. Tenure:
Employees will longer tenure are expected to be highly satisfied with their jobs. Tenure
assures job security, which is highly satisfactory to employees. They can easily plan for their
future without any fear of losing their jobs.
3. Personality:
Some of the personality traits which are directly related to job satisfaction are self assurance,
self esteem, and maturity, and decisiveness, sense of autonomy, challenge and responsibility.
Higher the person is on Maslows needs hierarchy, the higher is the job satisfaction. This type
of satisfaction comes from within the person and is a function of his personality. Accordingly,
in addition to providing a healthy work environment, management must ensure that the
employee is happy with himself and has a positive outlook on life.
