INDUSTRY PROFILE
Air India is Indias national flag carrier. Although air transport was born in India on February 18, 1911, when Henri Piquet, flying a Humber bi-plane, carried mail from Allahabad to Naini Junction, some 6 miles away, the scheduled services in India, in the real sense began on October 15, 1932. It was on this day that J.R.D Tata, the father of Civil Aviation in India and founder of Air-India, took off from Drigh Road Airport, Karachi, in a tiny, light single-engine de Havilland Puss Moth on his maiden flight to Mumbai via Ahmadabad. Air-India International inaugurated its international services on June 8, 1948, with a weekly flight from Mumbai to London via Cairo and Geneva with a Lockheed Constellation aircraft. The deteriorating financial condition of the various airlines operating in India in 1950s forced the government to step in and nationalize the air transport industry and accordingly two autonomous corporations were created on August 1, 1953. Indian Airlines was formed with the merger of eight domestic airlines to operate the domestic services, while Air-India International was formed to operate the overseas services. The word International was dropped in 1962. From March 1, 1994, the airline has been functioning as Air-India Limited.

Performance appraisal is a tool to rate the employees on their performance. Where employee satisfaction gives an idea as to how much gratification an organization gives its employees, PA helps to rate as to how much the employee is giving to the organization ,to his or her job. As employee satisfaction and performance seem to be directly related, performance appraisal techniques its implementations and consequences of the results play an important and major role in ES.It is a base on which much of an employees future in the organization is decided. (Promotions, demotions, transfers, incentives, etc).Thus PA and ESare two important concept in relation to any organization. The people factor or the human factor is the most sensitive aspect of an organization. It is on this the successes and failures of the organization depend. It is the same with the enquiry and evaluation of the effectiveness and performance appraisal that is conducted. Further studies on how effective the performance appraisal system in other departments are and comparisons will give greater insights and also show how P.A.S can be implemented more effective.
Page 15
Performance appraisal evaluation provides the overview and solution of the process of assessment of the employees, objectivity of the current appraisal system, relevance of the existing appraisal system in identifying employee potential in holding higher responsibilities, If provided with more time a study on the available concepts and peer practice in different organizations can be conducted. They can be compared and contrasted and the best can be inducted to be implemented.

The other questions and open ended questions were used to calculate the percentages in the last 5 findings and the recommendations respectively.
appraisal process. Feedback The purpose of the feedback should be developmental rather than judgmental. To maintain its utility, timely feedback should be provided to the employees and the manner of giving feedback should be such that it should have a motivating effect on the employees future performance. Personal Bias Interpersonal relationships can influence the evaluation and the decisions in the performance appraisal process. Therefore, the evaluators should be trained to carry out the processes of appraisals without personal bias and effectively.

ANALYSIS
1) The below 50% satisfied group, i.e., employees scoring 36, 44, 48 (5 employees in total) with an average of 43% satisfaction can be said to have poor satisfaction. Their contribution towards the fulfillment of organizational goals and targets can be deemed to be zero. As their work quality and quantity are likely to suffer and nowhere near standards. For example, in the recruitment section, wherein the staff has to meet deadlines and do the processing as required and as scheduled, the poorly satisfied employees are likely to lag behind and do their work inefficiently, resulting in reprocessing etc. Thus there would be a loss of company resources and time. The company reputation and productivity would in due course of time degrade. 2) The 50%-70% satisfied group, i.e., Employees scoring 52, 60, 64,68 (11 employees in total) with an average of 60% satisfaction, can be said to have an average satisfaction. Their contribution would be around the mark of 50. This group of employees does work only under compulsion and pressure from higher authorities which reflects in the poor quality of work due to lack of dedication and genuine interest. Persuading such employees to work is likely to consume time of the organization. Work for working sake may be deemed as their motive as their dire financial condition may be the only reason for needing a job.
3) The group with the satisfaction level between 71%- 90%, i.e., Employees scoring 72, 76, 80, 84, 88 (13 employees in total) with an average satisfaction of around 79.66% can be said to have above average or rather a good satisfaction. Their contribution can be said to be around the mark of 80. They produce work of good quality and quantity though there is a likelihood of resources mismanagement. ASMS, IMCOST, THANE Page 24
If they are encouraged in the right direction they can prove to be assets to the organization and belong to the highly satisfied group.
4) Above 90% satisfied group i.e., employees scoring 92, 96, 100 (13 employees in total) having an average satisfaction of 95.69% can be said to be highly satisfied. Their contribution to the fulfillment of the organizational goals and targets can be said to be between the marks of 95 to 100. They produce the results on time and always try to be efficient in utilizing the available resources. They are employees any organization would be proud to have. The organization would have the responsibility to maintain these employees loyalty and dedication towards the organization. 5) In the age group based satisfaction: a) 35% of employees i.e., 14 employees in total who lie in their 30s, having an average satisfaction of 73.4% can be deemed to be around the mark of 70, thus average satisfaction. b) 47.5% of employees i.e., 19 employees in total who lie in the age group of the40s having satisfaction of 81% can be deemed to be around the mark of 80, thus highly satisfied. c) 15% of the employees i.e., 6 employees in total lie in the age group of the 50s and an average satisfaction of 65.3% can be said to have poor satisfaction.
6) Thus, employees in the age of 40s are most satisfied than the 30s or the 50s. a) This can be accounted from the fact that the younger (30s age group) employees would still be considering greener pastures ie., other organizations with a little more of everything they get now, better salary, perks, facilities, career advancement chances, new experiences, etc. b) Whereas the older (50s age group) employees would be filled with apprehension of retirement and the rest of the years after retirement. Having reached almost the end of what they could get in the particular organization and perhaps given their best, their enthusiasm seems to die out. ASMS, IMCOST, THANE Page 25
c) The 40s, is the age were mostly employees have family responsibility and social responsibility; they are no more in a stage wherein they can experiment or even take risk. A secured job is what they require. They try to make the best of what they are given- thus profiting the organization and themselves.
7) Analysis of satisfaction levels among different salary groups show that salaries do not have any significant effect on the satisfaction level. a) The satisfaction in 62.5% of employees (25 employees in total) in the salary group of Rs. 8000- Rs. 15,000 on average is 73.68%. b) The satisfaction in 35% of employees (14 employees in total) in the salary group of Rs. 15,000 Rs. 20,000 on average is 76.53% On comparing the two groups and their satisfaction level we find that there is only slight difference in the two levels of satisfaction. 8) Of the 40 questionnaires collected 92.5% of the employees (37 employees in total) have worked for over 5 years in this organization. 9) 32% of these employees (12 employees in total who worked for over 5 years) have said that they would change their job i.e., choose to work for any other organization, if given a chance. 10) 58% of these employees (i.e., 7 employees in total who said they would change their job though having worked for over 5 years in this organization) were found to belong to the 30s age group. 11) Analysis and calculation of the effectiveness of the Performance Appraisal System has shown that it is only 70.66% effective i.e., it is just about average. 12) 37.5% of the total sample size have indicated their dissatisfaction with the implementation of the Performance Appraisal System
Page 26
INFERENCE
The research gives the following insights: 1) Employee satisfaction (ES) in HRD department of AI is poor for the majority of the employees on the whole i.e., more than half of the employees (67.5% of the employees) need to be brought to the highly satisfied group (above 90% satisfaction). 2) HRD department needs to work on this percentage to raise their average satisfaction to about 95.6% so as to bring their contribution around the range of 95 to 100. 3) Such a raise in satisfaction and the level of contribution would ensure high quality and quantity of work.
Page 27
4) The age based evaluation of satisfaction which shows that the 40s are the most satisfied group than the 30s or 50s, show a need to encourage this group to achieve new heights. 5) At the same time, the 30s age group needs to be motivated to stay on in the service and provide them encouragement, salary incentives and other facilities according to their performance. 6) Those in their 50s can be encouraged to give their best by ensuring them a safe and carefree retired life ahead. They can also be encouraged to take V.R.S (Voluntary Retirement Scheme) 7) Though the salary based evaluation of satisfaction did not show any significant effect on the satisfaction levels, there is scope of research on this aspect by keeping in view the incentive division and its effect. 8) Further research is also possible on aspects like posts/ positions/designations groups. Example, Office Administrator, Manager, Assistant Manager, Senior Manager, etc. Such a research can give insights into the trends that are developing or already existing in an organization. It would help us determine where these trends are leading the organization.
9) The effectives of PAS in AI, HRD department is just above average. This is mainly
because its implementation is inefficient and there is a lack of professional spirit? PAS needs reinforcement and backup to make it full proof. 10) Since 37.5% of the employees in HRD department of AI have indicated a dissatisfaction with the implementation of the PAS. Thus an increase in the effectiveness of the implementation of PAS will increase the employee satisfaction.
FINDINGS
The following are the findings of the survey: Satisfaction on the basis of groups are:
Page 28
1) There are 10% of the total employees in below 50% satisfied group with an average satisfaction of 43% 2) There are 27.5%employees in the 50%-70% satisfied group with 60% average satisfaction. 3) 30% of employees belong to the 71%-90% satisfied group with 79.66% average satisfaction. 4) 32.5% of employees belong to the above 90% satisfied group with the average satisfaction of 95.69%.
5) In the 30s age group there are 35% employees who have average satisfaction of 73.4%. 6) In the 40s age group there are 47.5% employees having the highest average satisfaction of 81%. 7) 15% of the employees belong to the 50s age group with average satisfaction of 65.3%. Satisfaction on the basis of salary groups are:-
8) 65.5% employees fall in the Rs. 8,000- Rs. 15,000 salary group and have an average satisfaction of 73.68% which is only a little less than the average satisfaction 76.53% of the Rs. 15,000 Rs. 20,000 salary group.
92.5% of the salary has worked for over 5 years. 32% (12 employees) such employees have expressed a wish to change organization i.e., Job, if given a chance.
Page 29
The Performance Appraisal System is only 70.66%effective and 37.5% of the sample size have expressed dissatisfaction with the ineffective implementation of Performance Appraisal.
SUGGESTIONS
I. To improve Employees Satisfaction (ES) in AI, HRD department There is a need for several changes in wake of improving the ES- some major ones and some minor ones. They are as follows: 1) AI on the whole has a very rigid hierarchy. There is a need to make it more lucid, perhaps decentralize it so that are no delays in decision making- for example, in implementing the charter of demands, bringing transparency in decision making and day-to-day working, in building an environment where employees and management can correlate with each other on a more co-operative basis to bring about a co-ordination in the functioning of each department and within each department. 2) Since, AI is a government organization; its policies need to undergo changes. Transfers can be made interdepartmental. Thus providing employees with new exposure and avoiding a feeling of stagnation inducing tardiness and lazy atmosphere. It would also induce the workers and help them in self-development and increase their knowledge about the organization on the whole. Promotion policy also needs to be changed. Promotions should be awarded only on merit basis/performance basis. Such a policy will automatically bring about a healthy competitive spirit, decreasing even eliminating unnecessary delays in meeting deadlines, and uncalled absenteeism. It will increase self-efficiency and induce a professional attitude and ultimately increase the profit and goodwill of the organization. According to the present policy timely promotions on basis of seniority are granted unless any serious offence is reported. Thus personal bias and partiality is bound to have the majority toll decreasing the morale of employees. Page 30
3) All departments need to be fully computerized. This would lead to an increase in the efficiency of the employees and save time and energy and produce quality work and quantity of work within a short time span. This would also allow cutting out the disinterested employees from the organization and curtailing wasteful expenditure.
4) By inducing competitive spirit in the employees, the facilities provided would be claimed only by those who are eligible and are worth to enjoy them. Thus it would curtail the wastage of resources.
5) Updating employees on new technology and developments in their field will act to increase their efficiency. Periodical workshop, seminars are means of doing this. Also time to time on-the-job training will avoid a lot of confusion and misunderstandings which lead to waste of time and resources. These changes will boost the morale of the employees and prove beneficial to the organization which would ultimately benefit the employees.
II.To Increase The Effectiveness of Performance Appraisal System (P.A.S) Though the present PAS is very good, its implementation hasnt been at all stressed on or given importance. For almost 20 years of an employees tenure, the PAS is a mere formality, which every employee seems to pass through. Though this system would do perfectly if it was followed with the professional spirit and to be implemented as a compulsory measurement for evaluating the monthly, quarterly and yearly work of an employee. Which was to have serious consequences for the career progression and incentives rewarded to any employee then it would surely do wonders for raising the productivity and profit of the organization/ department. Thus certain recommendations are put forth: 1) The implications of the PA should change. It should have practical implications ie., if an employee has lagged behind in his performance, it should affect his promotions or the incentives or other facilities he would enjoy. This is possible only if the policies need to be remodeled 2) The steps should be strictly complied with, in a professional manner and rule out the possibility of partiality playing any role. 3) Self- Appraisal can be implemented on a regular time basis. This can be taken into account along with quarterly/yearly PA. this also keeps an account of all ASMS, IMCOST, THANE Page 31
the assignments done by the employee and the time period taken to complete each. This can be checked by the Supervisor. This would also aid the employees in self development. 4) Personal counseling, which is a post appraisal step should also be given more importance. Critical cases can be handled better by this method. It would also act as an encouragement to the employee and he/she will feel cared for in the organization. 5) A follow up is absolutely necessary as the organization need to keep a track of activities the employee is involved in. It is also necessary to monitor his/her effort in improving on the shortcomings pointed out earlier, as to how much the employee has improved on those points and how he/she is performing at present.
