Study on Job Satisfaction among Employees at HLL Lifecare Ltd.

INTRODUCTION

Human resource management is indeed a vast area. All major activities in the work
life of personnel from the time of entry to an organization till the left come under the
purview of HRM.
Job satisfaction is how content an individual is with his or her job. Scholars and
human resource professionals generally make a distinction between affective job
satisfaction and cognitive job satisfaction. Affective job satisfaction is the extent of
pleasurable emotional feelings individuals have about their jobs overall, and is
different to cognitive job satisfaction which is the extent of individuals' satisfaction
with particular facets of their jobs, such as pay, pension arrangements, working hours,
and numerous other aspects of their jobs. At its most general level of
conceptualization, job satisfaction is simply how content an individual is with his or
her job.
At the more specific levels of conceptualization used by academic researchers and
human resources professionals, job satisfaction has varying definitions. Affective job
satisfaction is usually defined as a uni dimensional subjective construct representing
an overall emotional feeling individuals have about their job as a whole. Hence,
affective job satisfaction for individuals reflects the degree of pleasure or happiness
their job in general induces. Cognitive job satisfaction is usually defined as being a
more objective and logical evaluation of various facets of a job. As such, cognitive job
satisfaction can be uni dimensional if it comprises evaluation of just one aspect of a
job, such as pay or maternity leave, or multidimensional if two or more facets of a job
are simultaneously evaluated. Cognitive job satisfaction does not assess the degree of
pleasure or happiness that arises from specific job facets, but rather gauges the extent
to which those job facets are judged by the job holder to be satisfactory in comparison
with objectives they themselves set or with other jobs.
While cognitive job satisfaction might help to bring about affective job satisfaction,
the two constructs are distinct, not necessarily directly related, and have different
antecedents and consequences.

Davis et al. (1985) Job satisfaction represents a combination of positive or negative


feelings that workers have towards their work. Meanwhile, when a worker employed
in a business organization, brings with it the needs, desires and experiences which
determinates expectations that he has dismissed. Job satisfaction represents the extent
to which expectations are and match the real awards. Job satisfaction is closely linked
to that individual's behaviour in the work place.
Kaliski (2007) Job satisfaction is a workers sense of achievement and sucess on the
job. It is generally perceived to be directly linked to productitivty as well as to
personal well-being. Job satisfaction implies doing a job one enjoys, doing it well and
being rewarded for ones efforts. Job satisfaction further implies enthusiasm and
happiness with ones work. Job satisfaction is the key ingridient that leads to
recognition, income, promotion, and the achevement of other goals that lead to a
feeling of fulfillment.
Statt (2004) Job satisfaction can be defined also as the extent to wich a worker is
content with the rewards he or she gets out of his ore her job,particulary in terms of
intrinsic motivation.
Armstrong (2006) The term job satisfactions refers to the attituted and feelings
people have about their work. Positive and favorable attitudes towards the job indicate
job satisfaction. Negative and unfavorable attitudes towards the job indicate job
dissatisfaction.
George et al. (2008) Job satisfaction is the collection of feeling and beliefs that
people have about their current job. Peoples levels of degrees of job satisfaction can
range from extreme satisfaction to extreme dissatisfaction. In addition to having
attitudes about their jobs as a whole. People also can have attitudes about various
aspects of their jobs such as the kind of work they do, their coworkers, supervisors or
suborinates and their pay.

Mullins (2005) Job satisfaction is a complex and multifaceted concept wich can
mean different things to different people. Job satisfaction is usually linked with
motivation, but the nature of this relationship is not clear. Satisfaction is not the same
as motivaton. Job satisfaction is more of an attitude, an internal state. It could,for

example,be associated with a personal feeling of achievement, either quantitative or


qualitative.
Aziri (2008) We consider that job satisfaction represents a feeling that appears as a
result of the perception that the job enables the material and psychological needs.
Luthans F The extent to which work outcomes meet or exceed expectations may
determine the level of job satisfaction.
Tomazevic N Job satisfaction can also be seen within the broader context of the
range of issues which affect an individual's experience of work, or their quality of
work life. Job satisfaction can be understood in terms of its relationships with other
key factors, such as general well-being, stress at work, control at work, home-work
interface, and working conditions.
Hoppock (1935) Job satisfaction is a psychological , physiological & environment
factors that makes a person to admit, I am happy at my job. It has also been defined
as the end state of feeling.
According to Feldman and Arnold, Job satisfaction will be defined as the amount
of overall positive affect (or feelings) that individuals have towards their job.
Davis and Newstrom , Job satisfaction is a set of favourable or unfavourable
feelings with which employees view their work.
Sinha (1974) defines job satisfaction as a reintegration of affect produced by
individuals perception of fulfilment of his needs in relation to his work & the
situations surrounding it.
Weiss (2002) has argued that job satisfaction is an attitude but points out that
researcher should clearly distinguish the objects of cognitive evaluation which are
affect(emotion), beliefs and behaviours.

THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE
Job satisfaction is the level of contentment employees feel about their work, which
can affect performance. This feeling is mainly based on an individuals perception of
satisfaction. Job satisfaction can be influenced by a persons ability to complete
required tasks, the level of communication in an organization, and the way
management treats employees.
Job satisfaction is concerned with:
1.Work Environment

University Institute of Management

12

Study on Job Satisfaction among Employees at HLL Lifecare Ltd.

2.Employees Inter-Personal Relationship


3.Compensation and Reward system of the organization
4.Morale
Measuring Job satisfaction
Many organizations face challenges in accurately measuring job satisfaction, as the
definition of satisfaction can differ among various people within an organization.
However, most organizations realize that workers level of job satisfaction can impact
their job performance, and thus determining metrics is crucial to creating strong
efficiency. Some factors of Job satisfaction may rank as more important than others,
depending on each workers needs and personal and professional goals.
Typically, five factors can be used to measure and influence job satisfaction:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Pay or total compensation.


The work itself ( Job specifics such as responsibilities,projects,etc.)
Promotion opportunities.
Relationship with superior.
Interaction and work relationship with coworkers.

Job satisfaction is a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the


appraisal of ones job or job experiences.
The most important factors conductive to job satisfaction are:
a) Mentally challenging work : Employees tend to prefer jobs that tie them
opportunities to use their skills and abilities and offer a variety of tasks,
freedom and feedback on how well they are doing. Under conditions of
moderate challenge, most employees will experience pleasure and satisfaction.
b) Equitable rewards : Employees want pay systems and promotion policies
that they perceive as being just, unambiguous, and in line with their
expectations. When pay is seen as fair based on job demands individual skill
level, and industry pay standards , satisfaction is likely to result
similarly,employees seek fair promotion policies and practices.

University Institute of Management

13

c) Supportive working conditions : Employees prefer physical conditions that


are comfortable and facilitate doing a good job. Temperature, light, noise and
other environmental factors should not be extreme and should provide
personal comfort . Further, employees prefer working relatively close to home,
in clean and relatively modern facilities and with adequate tools and
equipment.
d) Supportive colleagues : Employees have need for social interaction.
Therefore, having friendly and supportive co-workers and understanding
supervisors leads to increased job satisfaction. Most employees want their
immediate supervisor to be understanding and friendly, those who offer praise
for good performance , listen to employees opinions and show a personal
interest in them.

Are satisfied workers more productive? Or Are more productive workers more
satisfied? The link between satisfaction and performance has been widely explored.
Research shows weak support for both views, but no simple, direct relationship
between satisfaction and performance has been found. However, we can say that
satisfied workers are more likely to want to give something back to the organization
because they want to reciprocate their positive experiences.
Basically job satisfaction is determined by the discrepancy between what individual
expect to get out of their jobs and what the job actually offers. A person will be
dissatisfied if there is less than the desired amount of a job characteristics in the job.
For instance if a person expects to be promoted in ayear and then is not, the person
will be dissatisfied. A person will be satisfied if there is no discrepancy between
desired and actual conditions. If there is more than the employee expected of some
job factor and excess is beneficial (eg: a high bonus, a
faster promotion),then the person will be very highly

Job satisfaction is critical to high productivity, motivation and low employee turnover.
Employers face the challenges of finding ways to increase job satisfaction so their
businesses stay competitive. A global economy of discriminating consumers has
placed demands on employers never before seen. Employers face the challenges of
maintaining the productivity, profitability as well as keeping their workforce engaged
and satisfied with their jobs.
Those that fail to improve job satisfaction are at risk of losing their top talented
people to the competition. Supervisors and managers who maximize their potential,
creative abilities and talents of the entire workforce have a greater competitive
advantage than those who dont. Employees that are engaged in their work have a
higher level of job satisfaction. The leaders of the organization have the responsibility
for creating a high level of job satisfaction.
To improve Job satisfaction:

Provide a positive working environment.


Reward and recognition.
Develop the skills and potential of workforce.
Evaluate and measure job satisfaction.

Importance of Job satisfaction

University Institute of Management

15

Study on Job Satisfaction among Employees at HLL Lifecare Ltd.

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


predictor of work behavior such as organizational, citizenship, Absenteeism,
Turnover.
It 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 with
their jobs tends to be 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.

Theories of job satisfaction


Job satisfaction theories have a strong overlap with theories explaining human
motivation. The most common and prominent theories in this area include: Maslows
needs hierarchy theory. Herzbergs motivator-hygiene theory; the Job Characteristics
Model ; and the dispositional approach. These theories are described and discussed
below.

Hierarchy of needs
Although commonly known in the human motivation literature, Maslows [7] needs
hierarchy theory was one of the first theories to examine the important contributors to
job satisfaction. The theory suggests that human needs form a five-level hierarchy
consisting of: physiological needs, safety, belongingness/ love, esteem, and selfUniversity Institute of Management

16

Study on Job Satisfaction among Employees at HLL Lifecare Ltd.

actualisation. Maslows hierarchy of needs postulates that there are essential needs
that need to be met first (such as, physiological needs and safety), before more
complex needs can be met (such as, belonging and esteem).

Maslows needs hierarchy was developed to explain human motivation in general.


However, its main tenants are applicable to the work setting, and have been used to
explain job satisfaction. Within an organisation, financial compensation and
healthcare are some of the benefits which help an employee meet their basic
physiological needs. Safety needs can manifest itself through employees feeling
physically safe in their work environment, as well as job security and / or having
suitable company structures and policies. When this is satisfied, the employees can
focus on feeling as though they belong to the workplace. This can come in the form of
positive relationships with colleagues and supervisors in the workplace, and whether
or not they feel they are a part of their team/ organisation. Once satisfied, the
employee will seek to feel as though they are valued and appreciated by their
colleagues and their organisation. The final step is where the employee seeks to selfactualise; where they need to grow and develop in order to become everything they
are capable of becoming. Although it could be seen as separate, the progressions from
one step to the next all contribute to the process of self-actualisation. Therefore,
organisations looking to improve employee job satisfaction should attempt to meet the
basic needs of employees before progressing to address higher-order needs. However,
more recently this approach is becoming less popular as it fails to consider the
University Institute of Management

17

cognitive process of the employee and, in general, lacks empirical supporting


evidence [2]. In addition, others [12] have found fault with the final stage of selfactualisation. The lack of a clear definition and conceptual understanding of selfactualisation, paired with a difficulty of measuring it, makes it difficult to measure
what the final goal is or when it has been achieved.
Motivator-Hygiene Theory
Herzbergs motivator-hygiene theory suggests that job satisfaction and dissatisfaction
are not two opposite ends of the same continuum, but instead are two separate and, at
times, even unrelated concepts. Motivating factors like pay and benefits, recognition
and achievement need to be met in order for an employee to be satisfied with work.
On the other hand, hygiene factors (such as, working conditions, company policies
and structure, job security, interaction with colleagues and quality of management) are
associated with job dissatisfaction.

Because both the hygiene and motivational factors are viewed as independent, it is
possible that employees are neither satisfied nor dissatisfied. This theory postulates
that when hygiene factors are low the employee is dissatisfied, but when these factors
are high it means the employee is not dissatisfied (or neutral), but not necessarily
satisfied. Whether or not an employee is satisfied is dependent on the motivator
factors. Moreover, it is thought that when motivators are met the employee is thought
to be satisfied. This separation may aid in accounting for the complexity of an
employees feelings, as they might f eel both satisfied and dissatisfied at the same
time; or neither satisfied nor dissatisfied.
Job Characteristics Model
The Job Characteristics Model (JCM) explains that job satisfaction occurs when the
work environment encourages intrinsically motivating characteristics. Five key job
University Institute of Management

18

Study on Job Satisfaction among Employees at HLL Lifecare Ltd.

characteristics: skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy and feedback,
influence three psychological states.Subsequently, the three psychosocial states then
lead to a number of potential outcomes, including: job satisfaction. Therefore from an
organisations point of view, it is thought that by improving the five core job
dimensions this will subsequently lead to a better work environment and increased job
satisfaction.

Unlike the Maslow or Herzbergs theories, the JCM has received more empirical
support. However, it has also drawn criticism as many studies utilising this model
investigate the direct impact core job dimensions have on personal and work
outcomes, completely disregarding the critical psychological states . Despite this, the
JCM and its impact on job satisfaction has been the subject of three reviews , which
further lend support to the model. Further to this, Behson and colleagues metaanalysis of 13 studies specifically focused on the role of critical psychological states,
and found these psychological states to play a crucial practical and theoretical role
within the JCM.
Dispositional approach
This dispositional approach suggests that job satisfaction is closely related to
personality. It postulates that an individual has a strong predisposition towards a
certain level of satisfaction, and that these remain fairly constant and stable across

University Institute of Management

19

Study on Job Satisfaction among Employees at HLL Lifecare Ltd.

time. The evidence for this approach can be divided into indirect studies and direct
studies. Judge and colleagues have reviewed these areas in greater detail.
The indirect evidence comes from studies that do not explicitly measure personality.
The indirect studies, however, are vulnerable to a number of important criticisms,
namely that other unaccounted factors might be contributing to job satisfaction
levels . This highlights the respective importance of studies directly assessing the role
of personality. Most prominently, there is research evidence that self-esteem, selfefficacy, emotional stability and locus of control comprise a broad personality
construct, which contribute to how an individual sees themselves.
Affect theory
Edwin A Lockes 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/arent 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 doesnt 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.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
The rate of population growth in India over the 1980's declined 0.11% as a result of
intensified population control programs of the government and the promotion of the
condom as an effective method to prevent venereal diseases and conception.HLL has
contributed to the population control programs and also to the health and medical

development activities by producing inexpensive and high quality products ,currently


HLL has most of its products for all income group people. To specifically mention
HLL is the single largest manufacturer of condom working under the ministry of
Health and Family Welfare. The company signed a collaboration agreement with M/S
Okananto Riken Gomu, Japan, and commercial production started in 1969.Production
and sales of the condom has been increasing steadily with production more than
doubling in seven years.
The company exports its products to Canada, U.K, Belgium and France. In 1989-90
and 1990-91 it nearly 20% of its total production. The profits of the company
gradually increased from 1984-85 to 1990-91 owing to reduction in production
expenses. Production expenses constituted 60 to 67% of total expenses in 1984-85 but
they were trimmed to 36 -65% in 1990-91 by continuous modernization programs and
in house research efforts .A financial performance analysis indicated that during 199091 there was a good turnover of capital, and the utilization of capacity reached an alltime high of 105.3%. In 1989-90 working capital turnover was high. HLL is
launching the production of CU-T with substantial financial assistance from UNFPA.
HLL also has an ambitious plan to establish a new research and development centre in
order to further the technical innovation of Latex-based products.
Social marketing is a strategy which addresses a public health problem with privatesector marketing and sales techniques. In condom social marketing programs,
condoms are often offered for sale to the public at low prices. 350 million condoms
were sold to populations in developing countries through such programs in 1992, and
another 650 million were distributed free through public clinics. The major donors of
these condoms are the US Agency for International Development, the World Health
Organization, the UN Population Fund, the International

Planned Parenthood

Federation, the World Bank, and the European Community. This marketing approach
has promoted condom use as prevention against HIV transmission and has
dramatically increased the number of condoms distributed and used throughout much
of Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Donors are now concerned that they will not be
able to provide condoms in sufficient quantities to keep pace with rapidly rising
demand. Findings in selected countries, however, suggest that people seem willing to
buy condoms which are well promoted and distributed. Increasing demand for
condoms may therefore be readily met through greater dependence upon social

marketing programs and condom sales. Researchers generally agree that a social
marketing program must change for 100 condoms no more than 1% of a country's
GNP in order to sell an amount of condoms equal to at least half of the adult male
population. Higher prices may be charged for condoms in countries with relatively
high per-capita incomes. Since prices charged tend to be too low to cover all
promotional, packaging, distribution, and logistical management costs, most condom
distribution programs will have to be subsidized on an ongoing basis.
India is one of the fastest growing countries in the world. But the main problem faced
by India is Population. The main policy we can adopt is family planning and birth
control. The term birth control includes all methods used to regulate or prevent the
birth of children. Most people agree that some family limitation or spacing is
desirable for the good family and society. When people talk about birth control, they
are usually referring to artificial methods, which include contraceptives, oral birth
control pills and the use of condoms. But individuals and group are differing sharply
on method of birth control that they consider moral and acceptable. HLL has been
declared a Mini Ratna (Category-1 PSE) by the Government of India and upgraded
during this year as a Schedule B Company by the Department of Public Enterprises.
Major players in the industry are HLL (Moods brand), TTK group(Kohinoor brand),
SLL international (Durex brand), JK Ansell's ( kamasutra's brand), Polar latex etc.
Total production is around 2.5 billion. Kamasutra has the highest demand in the
market followed by Moods from HLL. The contraceptive industry has been highly
competitive with enhanced focus worldwide on the protected sexual behavior. The
behavior has been evident with more people using condoms as the mankind now
aware of the sexually transmitted diseases.
The contraceptive has been repositioned in to the pleasure enhancing and protective
devises. HLL has repositioned the company's leading brand Moods on pleasuring
platform with the multiple variant. The branches have been offering choice needed for
the most customers in the premium segment of condoms.The company has been
operating in the highly competitive hospital products industries. Supportive health
care products like blood collection bags, hydrocephalus shunt, tissue expanders, etc
have been developed by the Indian labs. The company has brands based product mix
by offering various value added products like blood collection bags, blood filters,
