Here we more concerned about private sector banks and competition

among them. Today, there are 27 private sector banks in the banking

sector: 19 old private sector banks and 8 new private sector banks.

These new banks have brought in state-of-the-art technology and

Aggressively marketed their products. The Public sector banks are

Facing a stiff competition from the new private sector banks.

The banks which have been setup in the 1990s under the guidelines

of the Narasimham Committee are referred to as NEW PRIVATE

SECTOR BANKS.

INDIAN BANKING INDUSTRIES

5
The Indian banking market is growing at an astonishing rate, with

Assets expected to reach US$1 trillion by 2010. An expanding

economy, middle class, and technological innovations are all

contributing to this growth.

The country’s middle class accounts for over 320 million people.

In correlation with the growth of the economy, rising income levels,

increased standard of living, and affordability of banking products

are promising factors for continued expansion.

The Indian banking Industry is in the middle of an IT revolution,

Focusing on the expansion of retail and rural banking.

6
Players are becoming increasingly customer - centric in their

approach, which has resulted in innovative methods of offering new

banking products and services. Banks are now realizing the

importance of being a big player and are beginning to focus their

attention on mergers and acquisitions to take advantage of

economies of scale and/or comply with Basel II regulation.

“Indian banking industry assets are expected to reach US$1 trillion by

2010 and are poised to receive a greater infusion of foreign capital,”

says Prathima Rajan, analyst in Celent's banking group and author of

the report. “The banking industry should focus on having a small

number of large players that can compete globally rather than having

a large number of fragmented players."

UPCOMING FOREIGN BANKS IN INDIA

By 2009 few more names is going to be added in the list of foreign

banks in India. This is as an aftermath of the sudden interest shown

by EuroMoney magazine, Switzerland's UBS.

The following are the list of foreign banks going to set

up business in India :-

• Royal Bank of Scotland

•
• Switzerland's UBS
•
• US-based GE Capital
•
• Credit Suisse Group

• Industrial and Commercial Bank of China

WE UNDERSTAND YOUR WORLD

The Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC) was

amongst the first to receive an 'in principle' approval from the

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to set up a bank in the private sector, as

part of the RBI's liberalization of the Indian Banking Industry in 1994.

8
The bank was incorporated in August 1994 in the name of 'HDFC

Bank Limited', with its registered office in Mumbai, India. HDFC Bank

commenced operations as a Scheduled Commercial Bank in January

1995.

HDFC is India's premier housing finance company and enjoys an

impeccable track record in India as well as in international markets.

Since its inception in 1977, the Corporation has maintained a

consistent and healthy growth in its operations to remain the market

leader in mortgages. Its outstanding loan portfolio covers well over a

million dwelling units. HDFC has developed significant expertise in

retail mortgage loans to different market segments and also has a

large corporate client base for its housing related credit facilities.

With its experience in the financial markets, a strong market

reputation, large shareholder base and unique consumer franchise,

HDFC was ideally positioned to promote a bank in the Indian

environment.

HDFC Bank began operations in 1995 with a simple mission : to be a

“ World Class Indian Bank.” We realized that only a single minded

9
focus on product quality and service excellence would help us get

there. Today, we are proud to say that we are well on our way

towards that goal.

TECHNOLOGY USED IN HDFC BANK

In the era of globalization each and every sector faced the stiff

competition from their rivals. And world also converted into the flat

from the globe. After the policy of liberalization and RBI initiatives to

take the step for the private sector banks, more and more changes

are taking the part into it. And there are create competition between

the private sector banks and public sector bank.

Private sector banks are today used the latest technology for the

different transaction of day to day banking life. As we know that

particular color file which is coding on it and they save their valuable

time. It is a part of Kaizen and also included in the system of the Five

‘S’. Logic behind it that , the color coding are always differentiate the

things from the similar one.

HUMAN RESOURCES

The Bank’s staffing needs continued to increase during the year

particularly in the retail banking businesses in line with the business

growth. Total number of employees increased from 14878 as of

March31,2006 to 21477 as of March 31, 2007. The Bank continues to

focus on training its employees on a continuing basis, both on the job

and through training programs conducted by internal and external

faculty.

The Bank has consistently believed that broader employee ownership

30
of its shares has a positive impact on its performance and employee

motivation. The Bank’s employee stock option scheme so far covers

around 9000 employees.

RUPEE EARNED - RUPEE SPENT

It is more important for every organization to know about from where

and where to spent money. And balanced between these two things

rupee earned and rupee spent are required for smooth running of

business and financial soundness. This type of watch can control

and eliminate the unnecessary spending of business. In this diagram

it include both things from where Bank earned Rupee and where to

31
spent.

HDFC BANK earned from the ‘Interest from Advances’ 51.14 % ,

‘Interest from Investment’ 27.12 %, bank earned commission

exchange and brokerage of 15.25 %. These are the major earning

sources of the bank. Bank also earned from the Forex and

Derivatives and some other Interest Income.

Bank spent 39.75 % on Interest Expense, 30.27 % on Operating

Expense and 14.58 % on Provision. Bank also spent Dividend and

Tax on dividend, Loss on Investment , Tax.

As we discuss above that balancing is must between these two for

every organization especially in the era of globalization where there

32
are stiff competition among various market players.

INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY

Satisfaction is an important goal for organizations to reach as it has been shown that
profitability, productivity, employee retention, and customer satisfaction are linked to
employee satisfaction.

JOB SATISFACTION

The term Job satisfaction refers to an individual's general attitude towards his or her job.
A person with a high level of job satisfaction holds positive attitude towards the job,
while a person who is dissatisfied with his or her job holds negative attitude about the
job.

In simple words job satisfaction is:-

Job Satisfaction describes how content an individual is with his or her job. There are a
variety of factors that can influence a person's level of Job satisfaction; some of these
factors are:-

• Include the level of pay and benefits,

• The perceived fairness of the promotion system within a company,

• The level of pay and benefits,

• Leadership and social relationships,

• The job itself.

Why to study about employee satisfaction?

In my point of view, study of "Employee satisfaction" helps the company to maintain a
standards & increase productivity by motivating the employees. this study tells us how

43
much the employees are capable & their interest at wok place? what are the things still to
be satisfy to the employees. although "human resource" are the most important resources
for any organization, so to study on employees satisfaction helps to know the working
conditions & what are the things that affects them not to work properly. always majority
of done by the machines/equipments but without any manual moments nothing can be
done. so to study on employee satisfaction is necessary.

THE STATE OF EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION

Although committed and loyal employees are the most influential factor to becoming an
employer of choice, it's no surprise that companies and organizations face significant
challenges in developing energized and engaged workforces. However, there is plenty of
research to show that increased employee commitment and trust in leadership can
positively impact the company's bottom line. In fact, the true potential of an organization
can only be realized when the productivity level of all individuals and teams are fully
aligned, committed and energized to successfully accomplish the goals of the
organization.

As a result, the goal of every company should be to improve the desire of employees to
stay in the relationship they have with the company. When companies understand and
manage employee loyalty - rather than retention specifically - they can reap benefits on
both sides of the balance sheet i.e., revenues and costs.

On the revenue side of the balance sheet, loyal and committed employees are more likely
to go "above and beyond" to meet customer needs and are highly motivated to work to
the best of their ability. Both of these traits are crucial for continued customer
commitment and ongoing revenue and growth for the company.

44
On the cost side, loyal employees stay longer, resist competitive job offers, do not
actively look for other employment and recommend the company to others as a good
place to work. These four behaviors positively influence the cost side of the balance sheet
because they are leading indicators of employee retention. The longer companies keep
their employees, the longer they can avoid having to pay to replace them.

In other words, rather than focusing only on retention (that is, trying to retain employees
who have already decided to leave), organizations should proactively recognize the
benefits of understanding, managing and improving employee loyalty. The most
successful organizations are those that can adapt their organizational behavior to the
realities of the current work environment where success is dependent upon innovation,
creativity and flexibility. Additionally, the dynamics of the work environment have to
reflect a very diverse population comprised of individuals whose motivations, beliefs and
value structures differ vastly from the past and from each another. Arguably, the most
valuable, but also volatile, corporate asset is a stable workforce of competent, dedicated
employees, since such an employee base gives companies a powerful advantage; depth of
knowledge and organizational strength.

One of the key steps to understanding and improving employee loyalty is by

acknowledging the importance of the following factors in building loyalty and
satisfaction:

• Broadly-defined responsibilities rather than narrowly-defined job functions

• Effective and regular performance evaluations, both formally and informally
• A corporate emphasis on employee learning, development and growth
• Wide-ranging employee participation in the organization as a whole

Typically, a combination of factors influences employees' decisions to stay at their

current job. Contributing factors include satisfying work, a sense of job security, clear
opportunities for advancement, a compelling corporate mission combined with the ability
to contribute to the organization's success, and a feeling that their skills are being

45
effectively used and challenged. Specifically, employees who enjoy their work, identify
themselves with their employer and perceive that the company is flexible regarding work
and family issues also intend to stay with the organization.

Today, employee loyalty needs to be earned, rather than assumed, and must be specific,
rather than general - employees are looking at their employment as a means of achieving
personal goals rather than simply being the "good corporate soldier" of the past. This
means that companies need to express and act on a commitment to develop employees'
career objectives by introducing initiatives that make employees believe that their current
job is the best path to achieving their career goals.

In particular, consider the following elements of effective strategies designed to build

loyalty and retain key employees:

• Include opportunities for personal growth and invest heavily in the professional
development of the best people in the organization.
• Provide employees with well-defined career paths (including a succession plan),
mentors and tuition reimbursement for job-related education.
• Train employees, even if it makes them more attractive to the competition.
Without seeing an opportunity on the horizon, few high potential employees will
stay with a company and allow themselves to grow stagnant.
• Acknowledge non-work priorities by recognizing and responding to employees'
needs for greater balance in their lives, since employees will develop loyalty for
organizations that respect them as individuals, not just as workers.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

1. To check the level of employee satisfaction among job work assignees.

46
2. To analyze the work related stress.

3. To study the attitude of employees toward their work and job security.

4. To find motivational factors of employees.

5. To find out how much employees are participation in dicision-making.

6. To find out how much employees are satisfied with their salary level.

Another approach to the issue of loyalty is to consider the value of the five "I's":

Interesting work. No one wants to do the same boring job over and over, day after day.
Although any job will require some repetitive tasks, all jobs should include at least some
parts that are of high interest to employees.

47
Information. Information is power and employees want to have the information they
need to know to do their jobs better and more effectively. And, more than ever,
employees want to know how they are doing in their jobs and how the company is
performing overall. It is vitally important to open the channels of communication in an
organization to allow employees to be informed, ask questions, and share information and
to inspire them to share the vision of the company.

Involvement. Managers today are faced with an incredible number of opportunities and
problems and, as the speed of business continues to increase, the amount of time that they
have to make decisions continues to decrease. Involving employees in decision-making,
especially when the decisions affect them directly, is both respectful and practical. Not
only do those closest to the problem typically have the best insight as to what to do,
involving them in decision-making will increase their commitment and improve the
success of implementing new ideas or change. Similarly, management needs to follow
through on promises and live the values they preach.

Independence. Few employees want their every action to be closely monitored. Most
employees appreciate having the flexibility to do their jobs as they see fit. Giving
employees latitude increases the chance that they will perform as desired, as well as
bringing additional initiative, ideas, and energy to their jobs. Employees also need to be
encouraged to achieve their best potential.

THEORIES OF EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION ARE:

1) NEED FULFILLMENT THEORY:

48
 According to this theory a person is satisfied when he gets training from his Job what
he wants. The more he wants something or the more important it is to him, the more
satisfied he is when he received it. In other words, “Job Satisfaction will vary directly
with the extend to which those needs of an individual which can be satisfied are actually
satisfied. Vroom views satisfaction in terms of the positively valued outcomes that a job
provides to a person. Thus, job satisfaction is positively related to the degree to which
one’s needs are fulfilled. The fulfillment theory suffers from a major drawback.
Satisfaction is a function of not only what a person receives but what he feels he should
receive.

2) EQUITY THEORY:

Under this theory, it is believed that a person’s job satisfaction depends upon his
perceived equity as determined by his input- output balance in comparison with the input-
output balance of others. Every individual compares his rewards with those of a
‘reference group’. If he feels his rewards are equitable in comparison with others doing
similar work, he feels satisfied. Job Satisfaction is thus a function of the degree to which
job characteristics meet the desires of the reference group. For example, one study of the
effects of community features on job satisfaction revealed that workers living in a well to
a neighbourhood felt less satisfied than those living in poor neighbourhood.

3) TWO FACTOR THEORY:

Frederick Herzberg and his colleagues developed the Two factor theory satisfaction.
According to this theory satisfaction and dissatisfaction are interdependent of each other
and exist on a separate continuum. One set of factors known as hygiene factors

49
(Company policy, administration, supervision, pay, working conditions and interpersonal
relations) act as dissatisfiers. Their absence cause dissatisfaction but their present does
not result in positive satisfaction. The other set of factors known as satisfiers
(achievements, advancement, recognition, work itself and responsibility) lead to
satisfaction.

Several studies designed to test the two factor theory provide little support to this
theory. The same factor may serve as a satisfier for one but a dissatisfier for another. It
appears from this theory that a person can be satisfied and dissatisfied at the same time.

4) DISCREPANCY THEORY:

According to this theory job satisfaction depends upon what a person actually receives
from his job and what he expects to receive. When the reward actually received are less
than the expected rewards it causes dissatisfaction. In the words of Locke, “Job
Satisfaction and dissatisfaction are function of perceived relationship between what one
wants from one’s job and what one perceive it is actually offering. In other words,
satisfaction is the difference between what one actually received and what he feels he
should receive. This theory fails to reveal whether over-satisfaction is or is not a
dimension of dissatisfaction and if so , how does it dissatisfaction arising out of the
situation when received outcomes are less than the outcomes one feels he should
receive.

5) EQUITY DISCREPANCY THEORY:

This is a combination of equity and discrepancy theories. Lawlers hs adopted the

difference approach of discrepancy theory rather than the ratio approach of equity theory.
From equity theory the concept of comparision has been selected to serve as an

50
intervening variable. Under this theory satisfaction is defined as the difference between
the outcomes that one perceives he actually received and outcomes that one feels he
should receives in comparision with others. when the individual feels that what he
actually received is equal what he perceives he should receive there is satisfaction. Thus
an individual’s reception of his reward is influenced by more than just the objective
amount of that factor. Because of this psychological influence the same amount of reward
aften can be seen quite differently by two people, to one it can be a large amount , while
to another person it can be a small amount.

6) SOCIAL REFERENCE GROUP THEORY:

Reference group defines the way an individual looks at the world. According to this
theory job satisfaction occurs when the job meet the interest , desires and requirements of
a person’s reference group. In other words, job satisfaction is a function of the degree to
which the job meets the approval of the group to which the individual looks for guidance
in evaluating the world and defining social reality.

The social reference group theory is similar to the need fulfillment theory except than it
takes into account not the desires, needs and interests of the given individual but rather
the point of view and the opinion of the groups to whom the individual looks for
guidance.

Sectorial Comparison of Factors Influencing Job Satisfaction

in Indian Banking Sector

It has been observed that degree of job satisfaction of private sector banks was found to
be significantly lower than in public sector banks. At least two reasons were found to be

51
responsible for the low job satisfaction level of employees of private sector banks. When
data were analysed, surprising results were found. In the study, job satisfaction was
measured by a tool developed by Sinha (1990). Job satisfaction was measured on the
basis of five variables. These are (i) pay, (ii) work condition (for example, safety, heat,
noise, and dust), (iii) service conditions (for example, security, promotion, and welfare),
(iv) relation with superiors, peers, and workers, and (v) company as a whole. Among four
variables, the degree of difference is not noticeable. But low scores of the third variable,
service conditions, were found to be responsible for overall low degree job satisfaction in
private sector banks.

Employees of private sector banks perceive that their jobs are not secure. In fact, the
effect of an open economy, globalisation, and privatisation can be seen more easily in
private sector banks than in public sector banks. In private sector banks, the environment
in highly competitive and job security is based on performance and various other factors.
Though it is true that this environment provides a challenging job profile, it also creates a
less secure environment. Industriousness, dedication, devotion, and commitment are not
enough to secure a job. The high level of performance of an individual is also based on
various factors. These may be market situation, existence of competitor, and government
policies. Where these factors are adverse in nature, performance automatically suffers.
During this period, employees feel insecure, which reduces overall job satisfaction.

In public sector banks, welfare policies are clearly defined and legally enforced.
Retirement, pensions, gratuity, and other related welfare policies are effectively executed.
So there is no problem with social security. In private sector banks, welfare activities are
neither well planned nor well executed. Employee turnover is very high and job security
is very low. Most employees are from middle class Indian families. These employees
have seen the golden period of public sectors and government jobs during their growing
stages. So the effect of welfare schemes of government jobs and public sectors cannot be
easily eradicated from their psyche. Private sector employees are ready to work hard but
they demand pensions, security, and sometimes an easy lifestyle.

52
These findings in the banking sectors could be extended to explain the job situation in
other service sectors. In terms of security, promotion, and welfare policy, there is a clear
difference between public and private sector employees. It was stated earlier that when
we compare the job satisfaction of employees in public and private sector banks or in
other service sectors, the public and private sectors become the main factor of
comparison. In India, the public or private sector factors neutralise all other factors of
comparison. For example, in India, a public sector insurance company like LIC will
always be preferred by a new entrant, if he has a choice.

INCREASE EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION AND

PRODUCTIVITY

By providing amenities that make your building a healthier and more comfortable place
to work, you can reduce employee absenteeism and turnover while increasing
productivity. Even small workplace improvements, such as installing individual

53
temperature and ventilation controls, improving the flow of natural light and providing
access to a roof garden, can have a big impact on your company's bottom line.

The EPA estimates that building-related illnesses account for $60 billion in annual
productivity lost nationwide. And according to a University of Wisconsin study, tangible
costs of hiring and retaining a new employee typically range between $10,000 and
$50,000 -- plus less quantifiable, but no less real, productivity costs as employees adapt
to the new work environment and cultivate relationships with clients, coworkers,
contractors, etc. With less absenteeism and greater employee retention, your investments
in green building features will quickly pay for themselves.

• In a 2004 survey of 719 building owners, developers, architects, engineers and

consultants, Turner Construction found that 91 percent of executives involved
with green buildings believed that the health and well-being of their building
occupants was greater.

• By installing skylights, fluorescent light fixtures and additional insulation to

improve lighting and temperature control, Verifone's credit card verification
facility in Costa Mesa, California, decreased its energy consumption 59 percent,
reduced employee absenteeism by 47 percent and boosted productivity by 5
percent to 7 percent.

At the headquarters of the West Bend Mutual Insurance Company in West Bend,
Wisconsin, green features including individual workstation controls for temperature,
airflow, lighting and noise contributed to a 15 percent increase in claims processing per
employee.

WHAT IS RESEARCH ?

Research is a systematic and continues method of defining a problem, collecting the

facts and analyzing them, reaching conclusion forming generalizations.

54
The systematic and objective identification, collection, analysis, dissemination, and use
of information for the purpose of assisting management in decision making related to the
identification related to solution to problems and opportunities .
Marketing Research is the function that links the customer, concumer, and public to the
marketer through information- information used to identify and define marketing
opportunities and problems; generate, refine, and evaluate marketing actions; monitor
marketing performance; and improve understanding of marketing as a process.
The study of research methods provides manager knowledge and skill needed to solve the
problems and meet the challenges of a fast-paced decision-making environment. Three
factors that stimulate an interest of managers in research study are
 The manager’s increased need for more and better information.

 The availability of increased techniques and tools to meet this need.

 The result information overload if discipline is not employed in the process.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the problem. It may be
understood has a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it we study
the various steps that all generally adopted by a researcher in studying his research
problem along with the logic behind them.
The scope of research methodology is wider than that of research method. Thus when we
talk of research methodology we not only talk of research methods but also consider the
logic behind the method we use in the context of our research study and explain why we
are using a particular method.

So we should consider the following steps in research methodology:

 Problem statement
 Objective of study
 Research design

55
  Data collection
 Sample design
 Statistical tool
 Limitation of study

RESEARCH DESIGN
A framework or blueprint for conducting the research project. It specifies the details of
the procedures necessary for obtaining the information needed to structure and/or solve
research problems. A good research design lays the foundation for conducting the project.
A good research design will ensure that the research project is conducted effectively and
efficiently. Typically, a research design involves the following components, or tasks:

 Define the information needed.

 Design the research.

 Specify the measurement and scaling procedures.

 Construct and present a questionnaire or an appropriate form for data collection.

 Specify the sampling process and sampling size.

 Develop a plan of data analysis.

DATA COLLECTION

The task of data collection is begins after a research problem has been defined and
research designed/ plan chalked out. Data collection is to gather the data from the
population. The data can be collected of two types:

 Primary Data

56
  Secondary Data

Primary Data
The Primary Data are those, which are collected afresh and for the first time, and thus
happened to be original in character.
 Observation.
 Personal Interviews.
 Telephonic interviews.
 Questionnaires.
 Schedules.

Secondary Data
The Secondary Data are those which have already been collected by someone else and
which have already been passed through the statistical tool. Methods of collection of
Secondary data

 Newspapers.
 Magazines
 Journals
 Internet
 Libraries
 Old records.
In this project I am using both the method of data collection

SAMPLE DESIGN
A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. It
refers to the technique or the procedure and the researcher would adopt in selecting items
of sample. Sample design may as well lay down the number of items to be included in the

57
sample i.e. the size of the sample. Sample design is determined before data are collected.
Before going trough sampling design, let us learn some terms.

Population: The aggregate of all the elements, sharing some common set of
characteristics, that comprises the universe for the purpose of the research problem.

Sample: A subgroup of the elements of the population selected for participation in the
study.
In this project sample size is 40 employees

Sampling Unit: The basic unit containing the elements of the population to be sampled.

In this project sampling unit is employees

Sampling Technique used in survey---

Nonprobability Sampling Techniques.

• Convenience Sampling.
Nonprobability sampling techniques do not use chance selection procedures. Rather, they
rely on the personal judgment of the researcher where as probability sampling procedure
each element of the population has fixed probabilistic chance of being selected for the
sample.

In our survey, we have used nonprobabilty sampling technique because there is no way of
determining the probability of selecting any particular element for inclusion for the
sample, the estimates obtained are not statistically projectable to the population. We have
selected the sample with help of Sales Manager and their Life Advisors.
Among nonprabability sampling techniques, the sampling technique applied here is
convenience sampling. Convenience Sampling attempts to obtain a sample of convenient
elements. The selection units is left primarily to the inerviewer. Convenience Sampling is

58
the least expensive and least time consuming of all sampling techniques. The sampling
units are accessible, easy to maesure, and cooperative. In spite of these advantages, his
form of sampling has seroius limitations. Many potential sources of selection bias are
present, including respondent self-selection. Convenience Samples aer not representative
of any definable population.

QUESTIONNAIRE DESIGN
A Questionnaire, whether it is called a schedule, interview form, or measuring
instrument, is a structured technique for data collection that consists of series of question,
written or verbal, that a respondent answers.

Objective Of A Questionnaire

 It must translates the information needed into a set of specific questions that the
respondents can and will answer.

 A questionnaire must uplift, motivate, and encourage the respondent to become

involved in the interview, to cooperate, and to complete the interview.

 A questionnaire should minimize response error.

ANALYSIS
The analysis of this project begins with analysis of each question.

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

59
Managers need information, not raw data. Research helps in generating information by
analyzing data after its collection .data analysis usually involves reducing accumulated
data to a manageable size, developing summaries, looking for patterns and applying
statististical techniques. Scaled responses on questionnaires and experimental instruments
often require the analyst to derive various functions, as well as to explore relationships
among variables.

In various cases when we deal with statistics we find that the variables are related to each
other or we can also say two variables seem to move in the same direction such as both
are increasing or decreasing or even some factors tend to move in the opposite direction
also means one is increasing and the other is decreasing. Analysis has been done by
applying various statistical tools to study the basic factors that lead to Job satisfaction
among Job Work Assignees. Various important factors identified during the study are:-

• Job security

• Motivation " Attitude

• Stress

One of the tools used for the analysis is correlation among various factors using Karl
Pearson's method through Bivariate table in the software SPSS.

CONCLUSION

71
An extensive review of the topic "Study of the level of job satisfaction among job work
assignees" it was found that the most important factors conducive to job satisfaction are
the motivational factors: -

" Rewards or Payment,

• Supportive working environment and

• The work itself.

• Working hours.

• Clean and hygienic working place.

It was also found that the primary source of job satisfaction among Job Work assignees
was the sense of achievement experienced by them while on the job.

However, in the same study feelings of dissatisfaction were found to be stemming from
the work itself. The same and the work that was repetitive in nature and not apt according
to the qualification of some of the employees were seen also some of the major factors
leading to dissatisfaction were:-

" Low payment

• Job tenure (3 months) leading to job insecurity among the Job Work

Assignees

mind the various factors leading to the job satisfaction and by enhancing the profile of
job.Employees tend to prefer jobs that give them opportunities to use their skills and
abilities and offers freedom and feedback. They want pay system and promotion policies
that they perceive as being just and ambiguous and in line with their expectations. When
pay is seen as fair that is based on job and individual skills, satisfaction is likely to result.

Employees are also concerned with their work environment for both personal
as well as professional life.
So finally it is concluded that the level of job satisfaction is there but need to be increased
and maintained.

Limitation

72
There are various limitation faced during the study as the study bis related to the human psychology

and behaviour basically. Some of the problems faceddurig the study are:-

• while collecting the data it was noticed that most of the respondent were getting struck at

statement, they were actually related to make out whether the statement is related to their job or

routine life .

• Another major obstruction found the study was respondents were quite reluctant in giving their

original details.

• Even it is not noticed that some of the data entry operations were not even ready to fill in the

questionnaires, so their responses were most of the time neutral.

Suggestions

73
• To increase satisfaction and retention of employees.
• It will help in reducing the factors leading to absenteeism and staff turnover.
• It will help in generating factors which can defuse tension and improve working condition
Which will ultimately lead to job satisfaction.
• The method of recruitment should be improved.
• Select the right person for the right job.
• Promotion policy should be improved

• Management should check the performance of their employees time to time.

• Overall work environment should also be improved.
