Human resource is considered to be the most valuable asset in any organization. It


is the sum-total of inherent abilities, acquired knowledge and skills represented by the
talents and aptitudes of the employed persons who comprise executives, supervisors and
the rank and file employees. It may be noted here that human resource should be utilized
to the maximum possible extent, in order to achieve individual and organizational goals.
It is thus the employees performance, which ultimately decides, and attainment of goals.
However, the employee performance is to a large extent, influenced by motivation and
job satisfaction

The term relates to the total relationship between an individual and the employer
for which he is paid. Satisfaction does mean the simple feeling state accompanying the
attainment of any goal; the end state is feeling accompanying the attainment by an
impulse of its objective. Job satisfaction does mean absence of motivation at work.

dissatisfaction.

Low product range Vs competition in Surgical Business

Opportunities:

B+L business sector is expanding, with many future opportunities for success.
Parent co wants to encourage Indian businesses.

16

Threats:
Developments in technology may change this market beyond B+L ability to adapt.
The competitor Cooper Vision is very aggressive in marketing

local businesses and expand his distribution reach to Tire 3 cities. Marketing would be in
selected local publications to get the greatest possible market presence for a set
advertising budget, and the B&L should keep up-to-date with changes in technology
where possible. B&L should also make their policies employees friendly.

Theoretical
of
Job Satisfaction

Aspects

18

I am satisfied with the job is one way to define job satisfaction.


Limelight on job satisfaction was brought by Hop pock in 1935. He reviewed 32 studies
on job satisfaction. Prior of 1933 the job satisfaction is combination of psychological,
physiological and environmental circumstances that course to say truthfully that I am
satisfied with my job.
The success of any organization depends on the effective utilization and motivation of
human resources..
Job satisfaction is an integral of the organizational climate and importance element in
management and employee relationship.
Job satisfaction is derived from the Latin words Satis and facere, which means
enough and to do respectively. Job satisfaction refers to an employees general attitude
towards his job.

Situational Factor.

Individual Characteristics.

Group and social relationship outside the job.

Job satisfaction is the ultimate function of all these and many individual attitudes put
together. Many thinkers consider it a collective force and not a unitary phenomenon.
Every individual has some needs and desires that need to be fulfilled. Any job, which
fulfils these needs, provides satisfaction. Satisfaction is ones contentment job that
induces motivation and interest in work, which creates pleasure or happiness from job.
Hence satisfaction plays a vital role in every aspect of individuals life, without
satisfaction in life it becomes very difficult to survive.

19

Meaning
The term job satisfaction refers to an employees general attitude towards his job.

Job satisfaction is the favorableness or un-favorableness with which employees


view their work.

In order to understand job satisfaction, perhaps the first step should be to


demarcate the boundaries among such terms as attitudes motivation and morale.

A job is an important part of life. Job satisfaction influences ones general life
satisfaction.

The result is that satisfaction arises from a complex set of circumstances in the
same way the motivation does.

Job Satisfaction Leads To


Motivates towards high productivity.
Want to remain with organization.
Act effectively in crisis.
Accept necessary changes without resentment or resistance.
Promotes the interest of the workers in the organization.

Theories
There are vital differences among experts about the concept of job satisfaction. Basically,
there are four approaches/ theories of job satisfaction.
They are:
1) Fulfillment theory
2) Discrepancy theory
3) Equity theory

20

4) Two-factor theory
(1)

Fulfillment theory

The main aim of this theory is to measure satisfaction in terms of rewards a person
receives or the extent to which his needs are satisfied. Job satisfaction cannot be regarded
merely as a function of how much a person receives from his job but it is the strength of
the individuals desire of his level of aspiration in a particular area.
The main difficulty in his approach as observed by willing is that job satisfaction is not
only a function of what a person receives but also what he feels he should receive, as
there would be considerable difference in the actual and expectations of persons.
(2)

Discrepancy Theory

The proponents of this theory is that satisfaction is the function of what a person actually
receives from his job satisfaction and what he thanks receives or expects to receive.
This approach does not make it clear whether or not over satisfaction is a part of
dissatisfaction and if so, how it differs from dissatisfaction.

(3) Equity Theory


The proponents of this theory are of the view that a persons satisfaction
determined by his perceived equity which in from is determined by his input-output
balance when compared to others input-output balance. Input-output balance is the
perceived ratio of what a person received from his job relative to what he contributes to
the job.

21

(4) Two-Factor Theory


This theory was developed by Herzberg, Manusner, Paterson and Capwell who identified
certain factors as satisfiers and dissatisfies.
Factors such as achievement, recognition responsibility etc., are satisfiers, the presence of
which causes satisfaction but their absence does not result in dissatisfaction on the other
hand the factors such as supervision salary, working conditions etc. are dis-satisfiers the
absence of which cause dissatisfaction however their presence does not result in job
satisfaction.
This theory is considered invalid as a person can get both satisfaction and dissatisfaction
at the same time.

DETERMINANTS OF JOB SATISFACTION


According to Abraham A. Kumar there two types of variables, which determine the job
satisfaction of an individual. These are:

1.

1.

Organization Variables

2.

Personal Variables

Organization variables:
i.

Occupational Level: The higher the level of the job, the greater the
satisfaction of the individuals. This is because, higher level of jobs carry
greater prestige and self-control. This relationship between occupational
level and job satisfaction stems from social reference group theory in our
society values some jobs more than others. Hence people in values like
them more than those who are in non-valued jobs. The relationship may
also stem from the need fulfillment theory.

ii.

Job content: Greater the variation in job content and less the
repetitiveness with which the tasks must be performed, the greater the
satisfaction of the individuals involved. Since job content in terms of

22

variety and nature of tasks called for is a function of occupational level.


The theoretical arguments given above apply here also.
iii.

Considerate Leadership: People to be treated with consideration. Hence


considerate leadership results in higher job satisfaction than in considerate
leadership.

iv.

Pay and Promotional opportunities: All other things being equal these
two variables are positively related to job satisfaction.

v.

Interaction among Employees: Here the question is, when interaction in


the work group is a source of job satisfaction and when it is not.

Interaction is more satisfying when:


a) It results in the cognition that other persons attitudes are similar to
ones own since, this permits are ready calculability of the others
behavior and constitutes a validation of ones self.
b) It results in being accepted by other and
c) It facilitates and achievement of goals.
2. Personal Variables
For some people, it appears that most jobs will be dissatisfying irrespective
of the organizational conditions, where for other most jobs will be satisfying personal
variable for this difference.
i)

Age

ii)

Educational Level

iii)

Role perception

iv)

Sex
