1. INTRODUCTION
Employee job Satisfaction was a much popularized subject during the 1980’s
and 1990’s, where much of the literature (Stoner & Wankel, 1986; Brewster, Dowling,
Grobler, Holland & Warnich, 2000), focused on the link between Employee Satisfaction
and Employee Performance. Subsequent research has, however, proven that this link is not
particularly strong, (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2005; Ivancevich & Matteson, 2002). What recent
research has confirmed is that there is a clear reciprocal relationship between Employee
Satisfaction and Customer Satisfaction (Kraut, 1996). For example, one of the most
detailed studies undertaken was that carried out by Heskett, Sasser and Schlesinger (1995).
The authors point out that, “When companies put employees and customers first, their
employees are satisfied, their customers are loyal, their profits increase, and their continued
success is sustained” (as cited in Bailey & Dandrade, 1997).
The concept of Employee Satisfaction can be traced back to Edward Thorndike,
who in the early 1900’s published an article in the Journal of Applied Psychology where
he explored the relationship between work and satisfaction. The concept of Employee
Satisfaction has certainly been researched very thoroughly over the years and has been
linked to many other issues like employee loyalty, employee commitment, employee
engagement and job satisfaction.
One of the most quoted theorists is Hertzberg who during the 1950’s developed his
theory which identified two dimensions of satisfaction, namely motivation and hygiene.
Hertzberg maintained that the hygiene factors could not motivate employees but rather
helped minimize dissatisfaction levels if addressed. These hygiene factors include topics
such as; company policies, supervision, salary, interpersonal relationships and working
conditions. The motivating factors addressed topics such as: the work itself,
achievement, recognition, responsibility, and advancement. If continuously good levels
are maintained in respect of these topics, a motivated work force is created.

Modern management considers human being as resource and it is an importance
for the success of any organization. It is the strength and aid. Therefore, employee’s
attitudes, interest, quality, job satisfaction, etc., have a bearing productivity of a firm unless
the management is able to recognize employees needs and wants they will lose motivation
and morale and it will affect the best interest of the firm.
Work is one of the most important activities in a person’s life. who do have
satisfying job rarely have fully satisfying lives. Dissatisfaction in work can lead in many
circumstances to lower production and friction on the job. So that it must be considered by
the management and steps should be taken to find out the factors which cause job
dissatisfaction and to reduce suchdissatisfaction.
In general employee satisfaction is the attitude towards the work environment,
salary, relationship with their colleagues, job security, grievance handling, performance
appraisal, training and development, management style, quality policy, career counseling
and so on.
In this project factors that are taken into consideration for the employee satisfaction
are:
1. Work Environment:
Healthy and cordial relationship in the department will not only provide
healthy environment but also paves way for smooth flow of work, increases
productivity and qualitative performance.
3. Relationship with Colleagues:
2
each other enhance stability and confidence among themselves that contributes
to the security and improve performance as a whole.
4. Motivation and Recognition:
Salaries are influenced by the size of the company, by a specific industry and
in part by the contribution of the incumbent to the process of decision making.
The bigger the firm, the greater is the compensation to the employees. The
more attractive the salary, the more attractive will be the performance of the
employees.
6. Job security:
A person who is satisfied with the current job would continue to remain in the
same job. So job security plays a crucial role in the maintenance of job
satisfaction among employees.
7. Grievance handling:
Most firms do not have a choice whether or not it should appraise its personnel
and their performance of the hired personnel will be evaluated by someone at
some time.

9. Management practices:
This is a factor strongly related to the higher order needs of the employees on
their personal development. Many people like a challenging job, since that
assures them to think and undergo series development measures. This factor is
an essential one for satisfaction of permanent employees.

2.REVIEW OF LITERACTURE
Singh & Jain (2013) highlights on employees job satisfaction and its impact on their
performance. Employees’ attitude reflects the moral of the company. Happy
employees play an important role in the areas of customers’ service and sales as they
are the one to interact with the customer on a daily basis. Work environment is the key
factor in job satisfaction. Good work environment and good working conditions leads
to job satisfaction at the same time helps in increasing employee work performance,
profitability, customer satisfaction as well as retention.
Tietjen & Myers (1998) discusses the theories of job satisfaction mentioned by
Herzberg and Lockers. Job Satisfaction is always maximum when an employee is
satisfied with the work which is assigned to him. A well-furnished office and the
temperature of the work environment doesn’t help much whereas the base duty allotted
in the job and the intrinsic related feelings of an individual creates a positive attitude
in him about the job. Salary, perks always doesn’t lead to job satisfaction it is the
intrinsic feelings of an individual which leads to job satisfaction.
Witte (2012) highlighted on the group differences aspect in job satisfaction. The study
was done on the banking sector in Belgium. A model was created for testing the
hypothesis. The model was “Job Demand Control support” and the analysis found says
that job demand (It is a psychology which says the job requires certain capabilities)
have the highest effect in explaining satisfaction in relation to the working conditions
and less in relation to explaining satisfaction with job content.
Omey (2007) discusses the relationship between educational level and job satisfaction.
He says though there is a relationship it also says that there is no relationship as well.
Higher educated workers are always satisfied in comparison with the lower educated
workers, the fact being higher educated people obtain a job of better quality. He adds
lower educated workers can also have higher level of job satisfaction from the
psychological benefits of a “good job”. Quality of jobs offered to the employees differs
with the educational level leading to different degree of job satisfaction. Job
characteristics have a big role as here one gets a scope to use his or her own skills.
Therefore, the author suggests that organizations should focus more on job quality than
educational level.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AGE GROUP OF THE RESPONDENT AND
LEVEL OF SATISFACTION WITH BENEFITS PROVIDED
.
Alternate Hypothesis (H1):
There is no significant relationship between age group of the respondent and level of
satisfaction with Benefits provided
Chi-Square Tests
N of Valid Cases
31
Interpretation :
The above table tells that p value is less than 0.05 hence we reject null hypothesis H0
and accept alternate hypothesis therefore there is a relation between age group and level of
satisfaction with benefits provided.
62
5. FINDINGS
From the questionnaires it’s found that the executives are satisfied with all the
facilities except that 66% are dissatisfied with the salary provided and 33% are
dissatisfied with the welfare activity provided by the organization. 55% are
dissatisfied with the Training activity provided by the organization.
As of the staffs it is found that total of 80% of the sample size are satisfied with
the company. The least satisfied area among the staffs is the salary and welfare
activities provided by the company.
From the research conducted among the operators it is known that 51% of the
operators from the sample size are not satisfied with the salary provided by the
organization and 32% of operators are dissatisfied by the salary provided by the
company. And a total of 83% percent of operators are satisfied.
The employees of the company completely are satisfied with quality policy
adopted and the image of the organization. Almost all of them are satisfied with
management style and grievances handling method of the organization.
The goals and responsibilities, job security, training and individual’s growth
opportunity is given importance according to the research conducted among
employees of the organization.
It is also found that staffs are less satisfied comparing to that of the upper level
executives.
63
6. SUGGESTIONS
a. Proper working condition can be provided to the staffs by providing
proper and comfortable furniture and space within the work space.
b. A fully fledged canteen facility may be provided which may also reduce
the time of the staffs in moving in and out of the organization. This
would motivate the employees
64
7. CONCLUSIONS
From the study it was identified that the most of the employees are satisfied with
the job. Majority of the employees are satisfied with the salary structure, promotional
programs, working condition, allowances provided by the organization. They are also
satisfied with the employer-employee relationship and communication channel in the
organization. But still only 49% of the employees are satisfied with the salary provided.
The executives of the firm are more satisfied comparing to the staffs and operators.
Hence more focus should be given in the satisfaction level of the employees in the
operators and staffs level respectively. If the firm concentrates of the findings and
suggestions of this survey, organization can further bring out their employee with full
satisfaction and obtain good result.
