Job Satisfaction at Banks
Job Satisfaction at Banks
ABSTRACT
Job satisfaction is considered to be one of the primary requirements of a well-run
organization. In this highly competitive world, success of any organization depends
on its human resource. Banks are no exception to this. A satisfied, happy and
hardworking employee is the biggest asset of any organization, including banks.
Workforce of any bank is responsible to a large extent for its productivity and
profitability. Efficient human resource management and maintaining higher job
satisfaction level in banks determine not only the performance of the bank but also
affect the growth and performance of the entire economy. So, for the success of
banking, it is very important to manage human resource effectively and to find
whether its employees are satisfied or not. Only if they are satisfied, they will work
with commitment and project a positive image of the organization.
This research focuses on employees of Islamic and commercial banks in Quetta and
aims to identify the factors/variables instrumental for their job satisfaction and those
that reduces job dissatisfaction and to empirically test such identified variables with
the help of a survey.
INTRODUCTION
This report provides the information about the factors which leads the employee
from the job dissatisfaction to job satisfaction. Job is one of the most fundamental of
life’s tasks (Csikszentmihalyi, 1992; Sweeney & Witmer, 1991). Research focusing on
the bio psychosocial impacts of job satisfaction and dissatisfaction on the modern
worker (Sweeney & Witmer, 1991) suggests that one’s level of satisfaction with
one’s job impacts upon one’s mental and physical health and overall satisfaction
with life (Balzer, Kihm, Smith, Irwin, Bachiochi, Robie, Sinar & Parra, 1997;
Csikszentmihalyi, 1992; Earnshaw, Amundson & Borgen, 1990; Kinnunen & Natti,
1994).
Job satisfaction or dissatisfaction results from the exchange between the demands
and the expectations of an organization, and of workers’ expectations and personal
objectives. Workers and organization have relationships of reciprocity. The
organization provides the means for the worker to cover a series of needs and to
realize their personal aspirations. Workers provide the organization with the
resources so that it may reach its objectives.
Research examining the factors that impact upon an individual achieving and
maintaining job satisfaction is widespread, and varied (e.g., Gardner, 2003; Guest,
2002; Oats & VellaBrodrick, 2003). However, within the 25 to 35 year old
Job Satisfaction at Banks
The empirical evidence has proved that influence of material conditions on work
dissatisfaction is minimal (the result being relevant only in case where these are
especially bad or good, or in which the worker has comparative data). However, type
of work and lack of variety in the employment, are considered important factors in
the evaluation of satisfaction. Routine, monotony, insecurity, limited usefulness and
complexity are the characteristics that tend to be meaningful with regard to the
differences observed in the occupational satisfaction between one group of workers
and another. The type of work tends to be related to the centre of place of
performance. This factor explains more than 20% of causes that determine
occupational satisfaction (Diego et als., 1991)
The present research describes the factors that results in the reduction of job
dissatisfaction and increasing the satisfaction of the employees in the banking
sectors. In this research comparison being made between the employees’
satisfaction and dissatisfaction at two different kinds of banks where Bank A is a
commercial bank and Bank B is a part of Islamic Banking system. Focus is on the
factors that greatly influence the dissatisfaction and satisfaction of the employees
and on what ground they are different in the two banks stated.
OBJECTIVE OF RESEARCH
The main objective of the study is to identify and measure the various factors of job
satisfaction among various commercial bankers in Pakistan and highlight the main
findings by performing statistical techniques to judge the correlation and level of
significance for the factor.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Job Satisfaction at Banks
What are the factors which lead employees from Job dissatisfaction to Job
satisfaction in Islamic Banks & Commercial Banks?
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
LITERATURE REVIEW
A review of the literature in this context reveals that a number of researcher have
emphasized the importance of factors affecting job satisfaction. Job satisfaction
involves several different spheres such as satisfaction with pay, promotion
opportunities, fringe benefits, job security and the importance/challenge of the job
(Nguyen, Taylor, & Bradley, 2003). Job satisfaction can lead to cost reduction by
reducing absences, task errors, and turnover. Since work is an important aspect of
people’s lives and most people spend a large part of their working lives at work,
understanding the factors involved in job satisfaction is crucial to improving
employees’ performance and productivity. Job satisfaction has often been linked to
organizational commitment, turnover intentions, and absenteeism. These variables
are costly to an organization, as they could lead to low morale, poor performance,
lower productivity, and higher costs of hiring, retention, and training (Opkara, 2002).
The private banks specifically created a cut throat competition by launching new and
new products and services regularly to gain more market share. The employment
patterns in the banking sector changed abruptly and it became a high volatile
market. The salary bands and compensation and rewards patterns changed and
focus became on performance and targets rather than experience and loyalty.
Hence, pay and job satisfaction became a key factor for the banking professionals
which needed attention so as to achieve the long term goals of the bank (Islam &
Saha). Studies have tested the hypothesis that income is an important determinant
of job satisfaction (Nguyen, Taylor, & Bradley, 2003). Factors such as pay, the work
itself, supervision, relationships with co-workers and opportunities for promotions
have been found to contribute to job satisfaction (Opkara, 2002). There is a
significant difference in the job satisfaction levels of employees based on their
income. Employees earning the lowest income report significantly lower levels of job
satisfaction relative to the other income groups. Highly paid employees may still be
dissatisfied if they do not like the nature of their job and feel they cannot enter a
more satisfying job (LUDDY, JOB SATISFACTION AMONGST EMPLOYEES AT A PUBLIC
HEALTH INSTITUTION IN THE WESTERN CAPE, 2005)
During the literature review various models have been followed by different
researchers which included various theories. Frederick Hertzberg’s motivation
hygiene theory proposes that intrinsic factors are related to job satisfaction and
motivation, whereas extrinsic factors are associated with job dissatisfaction. This
theory is not much used by researchers because of its simplicity as the environment
have changed a lot yet many organizations uses their job design techniques based on
this theory. The higher the education level the lower is the job satisfaction (Nguyen,
Taylor, & Bradley, 2003).
Job Satisfaction at Banks
Dependent Variable
According to the study by Islam & Saha job satisfaction is the major dependent
variable which depends upon various factors for its increase or decrease. Overall Job
Satisfaction has been identified as the dependent variable in the study. Other review
of the literature also reveals job satisfaction as the major dependent variable.
According to McCook in 2002 the overall job satisfaction is an employee’s positive
state of emotions towards the job.
Independent variables
Independent variables used in the research are pay structure, discrimination, safety
and health, recognition, reward, growth, facilities, training programs, relationship
with coworkers and promotions.

Regression
Regression analysis is a technique used for the modeling and analysis of numerical
data consisting of values of a dependent variable (response variable) and of one or
more independent variables (explanatory variables). The value of R Square ranges
between 0 and 1, where 0 means no variance explained by the explanatory
variable(s) and 1 means 100% variance explained by the variables.

ANOVA Analysis
One-way analysis of variance is used to test the differences between two or more
groups. This analysis shows the variations within groups and between the groups by
comparing theirs means, while F statistics shows the difference. If F ratio is large with
a probability of less than 0.05, shows the difference between groups is low.

Results from Table 6 indicates that the Probability Value for this test came out to be
0.217 which is more than 5 % hence the null hypothesis shall be accepted which
states that the factors that leads to job satisfaction are same in both commercial and
Islamic banks. The interpretation shows that the null hypothesis is accepted that
there is no significance difference between the two means. H0: There is no
significance mean difference between the three bank pays as well as the job
satisfaction.
Job Satisfaction at Banks
CONCLUSION
Job satisfaction is a heavily researched area of inquiry. The aim was to estimate the
extent to which a banker's job satisfaction is determined by comparisons among
commercial and Islamic banks as well as by other variables mentioned above. Most
of the banks do not see employee participation as a driver of better employee
performance; the study highlights that these variables are among the contributing
variables towards Job satisfaction. Changes in organizational variables, such as pay
scales, employee input in policy development, and work environment could be made
in an effort to increase organizational commitment which in turn will lead to
employee commitment and satisfaction.
