INTRODUCTION
TO
THE
TOPIC
(A) INTRODUCTION

The term “job satisfaction” refers to an employee general attitude towards his job. Job satisfaction is
how content an individual is with his or her job. The employees can be think that the organization
can be fulfil their requirements such as pay, pension arrangement, working hours.

6
It is useful to highlight its important aspects.  There are three important dimensions to
employee job satisfaction. 

1. Employee job satisfaction refers to ones feeling towards ones job. It can only be inferred
but not seen 

2. Employee job satisfaction is often determined by how well Outcomes meet or exceed
expectations satisfaction in one’s job Means increased commitment in the fulfilment of
formal   Requirements.  There is greater willingness to invest personal Energy and time in
job performance      

3. The terms of employee job satisfaction and job attitudes are typically used
interchangeably. Both refer to effective orientations   On the part of individuals towards
their work roles, which they are presently occupying. Positive attitude towards the job
are conceptually equivalent to employee job satisfaction and negative attitudes towards the
job indicate employee dissatisfaction.

Though the terms employee job satisfaction and attitudes are used interchangeably, there
are difference between the two. Attitudes, as was mentioned earlier, refer to predisposition
to respond. Employee job satisfaction, on the other hand, relates to performance factors.
Attitudes reflect ones feeling towards individuals, organizations and objects. But satisfaction
refers to ones attitudes to a job. Employee job satisfaction is, therefore, a specific subset of
attitudes. 

Attitudes endure generally, but employee job satisfaction is dynamic, it can decline even
more quickly that it developed. Managers, therefore, cannot establish the conditions
leading to high satisfaction now and then neglect it, for employee satisfaction constantly.

Sources of job-satisfaction
 Benefits of Employee job satisfaction:

A) One benefit of Employee job satisfaction survey is that they Give management an
indication general levels of satisfaction in a company. Surveys also indicate specific
areas of satisfaction or dissatisfaction (as with employee services) and particular
groups of employee. In other words, a survey tells how employees feel about their
jobs, what parts of their jobs these feeling are focused on, with department are
particularly affected, and whose feelings are involved ( for example, supervision,
employee or staff specialists). The survey is powerful diagnostic instrument for
assessing employee problems.

B) . Improved communication is another benefits of the surveys.


Communication flows in all directions as people plan the survey, talk and
discuss its result. Particularly beneficial to the company is, the upward
communication when employees are encouraged to comment about what
they really have in their minds. 

7
1. An unexpected benefit from an employee job satisfaction survey is improved
attitudes. For some employees, the survey is a safety valve, an emotional release,
and a chance to get things off their chest. For others, the survey is a tangible
expression of management’s interest in employee welfare, which gives employees a
reason to feel better    towards management.

               

    

2. The employee job satisfaction survey can help discover the causes of indirect
productivity problems, such as absenteeism, turnover and poor quality of work. If an
organization is disturbed by a high rate of absenteeism or turnover, it might
opportunities, unchallenging jobs, unjust treatment and the like. Without proper
survey, there could be random guessing on the part of management employee job
satisfaction survey help management both to get a better handle on why employees
are lagging and to plan better handle solutions to problems.

3. Another benefit of satisfaction survey is that help management assess training


needs. Usually, employees are given on opportunity how they feel this supervisor
performs certain parts of the jobs, such as delegating work and giving adequate job
instruction. Since employees experience these supervisory acts, their perception may
provide useful data about the training of their supervisors

4. One of the best uses of employee job satisfaction survey is in the evaluation of the
impact of organizational changes on employees attitudes. For example, the
management wants to whether the job redesign program recently implemented in
the organization has resulted in increased satisfaction to the employees. By
comparing pre-change data and post- change data, it is easy to determine what
impact the redesigned work has on employee attitudes.

 
 
 

But the benefit discussed above would be realized subject to certain prerequisites.
Following are the conditions: 

o Top management actively supports the survey

8
o Employees are fully involved in planning the survey.

o A clear objective exists for conducting the survey.

o The study is designed and administered consistent with standards of sound


research.

o Management is capable and willing to take follow up action.

o Both the results and action plans are communicated to employees.

 
  Ways of Measuring Employee Job Satisfaction: 

                  There are a number of ways of measuring Employee Job Satisfaction. This is not
surprising since hundreds of studies have been conducted over the past three and half
decades, employing varied techniques. The most common ways of measurement include
rating scales, critical incidents, interviews, and action tendencies. 

             Measurement of employee job satisfaction has come to acquire the same fate as the
measurement of intelligence. We can measure employee job satisfaction by questionnaire.
Perhaps the earliest of all the known scales of measuring employee job satisfaction is that
by Hop pock (19335). 

Other Effects of Employee Job Satisfaction:

In addition to the above, it has been claimed that satisfied employees tend to have better
mental and physical health and learn new employee related tasks quickly. 
 

Two faces of Employee Job Satisfaction: 

Employee job satisfaction has both functional and dysfunctional consequence. The positive
consequences of employee job satisfaction have already been stated above. An often-
overlooked dimension of employee job satisfaction is its relationship to employee health.
Employee who are dissatisfied with their jobs are prone to managers, this means that even
if satisfaction did not lead to less voluntary turnover and absence, the goal of a satisfied
workforce might be justifiable because it would reduce medical or costs and the premature
loss of valued employees by way of heart Disease or strokes. 

The effect of employee job satisfaction goes beyond organizational setting. When
employees are happy with their jobs, their lives away from jobs will be better off. In
contrast, the dissatisfied employee carries that attitude home. Some benefits of employee
job satisfaction accrue to every citizen. These people will hold a more positive attitude
towards life in general and make for a society of more psychologically health people. 

9
The employee job satisfaction helps management in terms of reduced turnover, reduced
absences, reduced job stress and reduced medical and life insurance costs. Additionally,
there benefits for society in general. Satisfied employees are happy and better citizens.  

However, employee job satisfaction has been overemphasized. Its benefits to the
management are contingent upon fulfilment of several other variables. Take turnover for
instance. Employee job satisfaction may not directly lead to reduced turnover, other facto
like age, financial position, number of dependents and like will have their own say.  

       It seems that only academician and researchers are interested in employee job
satisfaction. For them employee job satisfaction is a good topic for survey. For them
employee job satisfaction is important and they expect that it is important for others too.
For many people, job is only a source for earning, nothing more, and nothing less. A
dissatisfied employee has any number of off the job activities to find satisfaction. Non job
oriented people tend not to be emotionally involved with their work this relative
indifference allows them to accept frustrating condition at work more willingly.
Unfortunately, the number of non job oriented people is more than those who take job as
everything in life. 

Determinants of Employee job Satisfaction: 

        Employee job satisfaction is critical concept to measure the employees organizational
behaviour. There are a number of factors influencing the employee’s job satisfaction. Refers
to a set of some commonly experienced stable characteristics of organizations, which
constitutes the uniqueness of that organization and differentiates it from others. We face
some difficulties in identifying this set of characteristic we do not yet know the various
dimensions or factors of Employee job satisfaction on which we should look fir these
characteristic. Some of these common dimensions are described below.

Mentally challenging work: 

Employee tent to prefer jobs that give them opportunities to use skills and abilities and offer
a variety of tasks, freedom and feedback on how well they are doing are some of the most
important ingredients of a satisfying job. 

Working conditions: 

Employees are concerned with their work environment for personal comfort and for doing a
good job. Temperature, light, noise and other environmental factors should not be
extremes. 
 
 Company policies: 

If the company has policies that can help the employee on the job and of the job then the
employee does his duty effectively. It provides the employee to improve the attitude of
dedication and co-operation. 

10
Job security: 

  For employee the man aspects of his job are security. If the employee feels that in
company here he is working then he will be satisfied and performs his duties with
commitment.     

Communication:

  Communication includes both the transference and understanding of meaning. Good


communication is essential to any group or organization effectiveness. Poor communication
is probably the most frequently sited source of interpersonal conflict. An idea, no matter
how great, is useless until it is transmitted and understood by others. Perfect
communication, would exist when a thought or an idea was transmitted so that the mental
picture perceived by the receiver was exactly the same as that envisioned by the sender. 

Compensation and Rewards: 

        An employee reward system consists of an originations integrated policies, processes


and practices for rewarding its employee in accordance with their contribution, skill and
competence and their market work. It is developed with in the frame work of organizations
reward philosophy , strategies and policies and contains arrangement in from of processes,
structures and procedures which will provide and maintain appropriate types and levels of
pay, benefits and other forms rewards. 

Safety and Health:  

Safety, in simple terms, means freedom from the occurrence or risk of injury or loss.
Industrial safety or employee safety refers to the protection of workers from the danger of
the industrial accidents. An accident free plant enjoys certain benefits. Major ones are
substantial savings in cost, increase productivity, moral and legal grounds. The well being of
the employee in an industrial establishment is affected by accidents any by ill health
physical as well as mental. The need healthy the workers and health services are to be
provided by the management to ensure the continuing good health of their employees. 

Rewards and recognition: 

    An employee reward system consists of an origination’s integrated policies, processes and
practices for rewarding its employees and practices for rewarding its employees in
accordance with their contribution, skill and competence and their market work. It is
developed with in the framework of organizations reward philosophy, strategies and
contains arrangement in from of processes appropriate types and levels of pay, benefits and
other forms rewards. 

Career Development:

11
A career can define as a sequence but related work activities that provides continuity, and
meaning in a persons life. Careers are both individually, perceived and society constrained;
not only do people make careers out of their particular experience, but career opportunities
in society also influence and make people. 

Performance Appraisal: 

Performance Appraisal is deemed by many to be an essential part of the executive job. A


systematic and periodic appraisal process is deemed superior to a casual, intuitive, and at
the absence of such preplanning. Systematic performance appraisal is that which provides
information of great assistance in making and enforcing decisions such subject as
promotions, pay increases, layoffs and transfers. It provides such information in advance of
time when it may be needed, they by avoiding spot judgment when a decision must be
made. 

Training & Development:   

    Training is the formal and systematic modification of behavior through learning, which
occurs as a result of education, instruction, and development and planned experience. The
fundamental aim of guiding is to help the organization achieve its purpose by adding value
to its key resource- the people it employee. Training means investing its people to enable
them to perform better and to empower them to make the best use of their natural
abilities.

   Individuals with guidance, encouragement and health from their managers as required
carry out personal development are planning. A personal development plan sets out the
action. People to take to learn and develop themselves.

Empowerment:      

      Empowerment is the process of giving employees more power to exercise control over,
and take responsibility for their work. It provides greater space for individual to use their
abilities by enabling and encouraging them to take decisions close to the point of impact. 

              Empowerment is about engaging both the hearts and minds of people so that they
can take the opportunities available to them for greater responsibility. Jobs are so
structured that individuals can plan, execute and evaluate a complete operation in the total
process personally. Empowerment can speed up decisions making process and accelerate
the response time to meet the changing needs of the customer, release creativity of
employee, provide for greater job satisfaction, motivation and commitment, give people
more responsibility. 
 
 

MERITS- EMPLOYEE JOB SATISACTION:

12
 Sets people management priorities for CEO

 Detects potential problem areas early

 Evaluates success of policies and practices

 Makes employees feel involved and cared about

 Customer and employee satisfaction are liked.


 
 

DEMERITS- EMPLOYEE JOB SATISFACATION:

 Managers could get lost in data

 Inaction could destroy credibility

 Periodic change could paralyze company

 Employee may not revel innermost feelings

 Too general in scope to affect individuals.

(B) INDUSTRY PROFILE

The iron and steel industries are among the most important industries in India. During 2014
through 2016, India was the second largest producer of raw steel [1] and the largest producer
of sponge iron in the world. The industry produced 82.68 million tons of total
finished steel and 9.7 million tons of raw iron. Most iron and steel in India is produced from
iron ore.[2]
Policy for the sector is governed by the Indian Ministry of Steel, which concerns itself with
coordinating and planning the growth and development of the iron and steel industry, both
in the public and private sectors; formulation of policies with respect to production, pricing,
distribution, import and export of iron and steel, ferro alloys and refractories; and the
development of input industries relating to iron ore, manganese ore, chrome
ore and refractories etc., required mainly by the steel industry.
Most of the public sector undertakings market their steel through the Steel Authority of
India (SAIL). The Indian steel industry was de-licensed and de-controlled in 1991 and 1992
respectively.

13
Steel plants
There are two types of steel plants - mini steel plants and integrated steel plants. About half
of the country's steel is produced by medium and small enterprises. [3]
Mini steel plants are smaller, have electric furnaces and use steel scrap as well as sponge
iron. They have re-rollers that use steel ingots as well. They produce Carbon steel and alloy
Steel of certain specifications. There are around 650 mini steel plants in India.
Integrated steel plants are large, handle everything in one complex - from putting together
raw material to steel making, rolling and shaping. Iron ore, coke, and flux are fed into
the blast furnace and heated. The coke reduces the iron oxide in the ore to metallic iron,
and the molten mass separates into slag and iron. Some of the iron from the blast furnace is
cooled, and marketed as pig iron; the rest flows into basic oxygen furnaces, where it is
converted into steel. Iron and steel scrap may be added to both to the blast furnace and to
the basic iron furnace. There are about five integrated SAIL plants in India.

Current steel plants in India


There are more than 50 iron and steel industries in India. Given below are major steel

Structure
The iron and steel industry in India is organised into three categories: main producers, other
major producers, and secondary producers. In 2004-05, the main producers i.e. SAIL, TISCO
and RINL had a combined capacity of around 50% of India’s total steel production capacity
and production. The other major producers — ESSAR, ISPAT and JVSL — account for around
20% of the total steel production capacity.

National steel policy


National steel policy – 2005 has the long-term goal of having a modern and efficient steel
industry of world standards in India. The focus is to achieve global competitiveness not only
in terms of cost, quality, and product-mix but also in terms of global benchmarks of
efficiency and productivity. The Policy aims to achieve over 100 million metric tonnes of
steel per year by 2019-20 from the 2004-05 level of 38 mt. This implies an annual growth of
around 7.3% per year from 2004-5 onward.
The strategic goal above is justified because steel consumption in the world, around 1000
million metric tonnes in 2004, is expected to grow at 3.0% per annum to reach 1,395 million
metric tonnes in 2015, compared to 2% per annum in the past fifteen years. China will
continue to have a dominant share of the demand for world steel. Domestically, the growth
rate of steel production over the past fifteen years was 7.0% per annum. The projected rate
of 7.3% per annum in India compares well with the projected national income growth rate
of 7-8% per annum, given an income elasticity of steel consumption of around 1. [4]

15
Subsequent steel policies have been drafted each year. The Indian Ministry of Steel has
released draft National Steel Policy (NSP), 2017. The problems identified in this sector
include:

 Steel companies are plagued with huge debts.


 Lack of domestic demand. This is a major concern
 Low quality of metallurgical coke for blast furnace iron making.
 High input costs.
 Cheap imports from China, Korea and other countries are also a matter of concern
for domestic producers.
The aim of the draft NSP is to develop a self-sufficient steel industry that is globally
competitive. The policy proposes setting up Greenfield Steel Plants along the Indian
coastline under the Sagarmala Project. This has been proposed in order to tap cheap
imported raw materials such as coking coal and export the output without incurring huge
cost burden. The policy has also proposed the idea of gas-based steel plants and use of
electric furnaces in order to bring down the use of coking coal in blast furnaces. The policy
targets to achieve production of 300 million tonnes by 2030-31.

Production
The steel industry in India was de-licensed and decontrolled in the years 1991 and 1992
respectively. In 2014-15, production for sale of total finished steel (alloy + non-alloy) was
91.46 million tonnes, a growth of 4.3% over 2013-14. Production for sale of pig iron in 2014-
15 was 9.7 million tonnes, a growth of 22% over 2013-14. India is the largest producer of
sponge iron in the world with the coal-based route accounting for 90% of total sponge iron
production in the country. Data on production for the sale of pig iron, sponge iron and total
finished steel (alloy + non-alloy) are given below for last five years.

16
Steel prices
Price regulation of iron and steel was abolished on 16 January 1992. [5] Since then steel prices
have been determined by an interplay of market forces. Domestic steel prices are influenced
by trends in raw material prices, demand, supply conditions in the market, and international
price trends among others. An Inter-Ministerial Group (IMG) is functioning in the Ministry of
Steel, under the chairmanship of the secretary (Steel) to monitor and coordinate major steel
investments in the country. As a facilitator, the government monitors the steel market
conditions and adopts fiscal and other policy measures based on its assessment. Currently,
basic excise duty for steel is set at 12.5% and there is no export duty on steel items. The
government has also imposed an export duty of 30% on all forms of iron ore except low
grades, which carry a duty of 10%, while iron ore pellets have an export duty of 5% to
control ad-hoc exports of the items and to conserve them for the long-term requirements of
the domestic steel industry. It has also raised the import duty on most steel imports by
2.5%, taking the import duty on carbon steel, flat products to 10% and that on long products
to 7.5%.

Import and export


Imports
Iron and steel are freely importable as per the extant policy. There has been a steady
increase in the amount of steel imported into the country to meet demands.

tonnes of steel; further, in 2011-12 it rose to 4.59 million tonnes. 2012-13 and 2013-14 did
not see a sharp rise with exports of 5.37 and 5.98 million tonnes respectively. The exports
declined in the year 2014-15, falling to 5.59 million tonnes.

History
Early
Recent excavations in the Middle Ganges Valley conducted by archaeologist Rakesh Reddy
with the advice of wife Aditi Venugopal show iron working in India may have begun as early
as 1800 BCE.[6] In fact, the practice of manufacturing practical metals first began in India.
[7]
 Archaeological sites in India, such as Malhar, Dadupur, Raja Nala Ka Tila, and Lahuradewa
in the state of Uttar Pradesh show iron implements in the period between 1800 BCE-1200
BCE.[6] Sahi (1979: 366) concluded that by the early 13th century BCE, iron smelting was
definitely practiced on a larger scale in India, suggesting that the date the technology's early
period may well be placed as early as the 16th century BCE. [6]
Some of the early iron objects found in India are dated to 1400 BCE by
employing radiocarbon dating.[8] Spikes, knives, daggers, arrow-heads, bowls, spoons,
saucepans, axes, chisels, tongs, door fittings etc. ranging from 600 BCE—200 BCE have been
discovered at several archaeological sites.[8] In southern India (present day Mysore) iron
appeared as early as the 12th or 11th century BCE. These developments were too early for
any significant close contact with the northwest of the country. [8]
The beginning of the 1st millennium BCE saw extensive developments in iron metallurgy in
India.[9] Technological advancement and mastery of iron metallurgy was achieved during this
period of peaceful settlements. The years between 322—185 BCE saw several
advancements made to the technology involved in metallurgy during the politically
stable Maurya period (322—185 BCE). Greek historian Herodotus (431—425 BCE) wrote the
first western account of the use of iron in India.[9]
Perhaps as early as 300 BCE — although certainly by 200 CE — high quality steel was being
produced in southern India by what Europeans would later call the crucible technique.
[10]
 Using this system, high-purity wrought iron, charcoal, and glass were mixed in a crucible
and heated until the iron melted and absorbed the carbon.[10] The first crucible steel was
the wootz steel that originated in India before the beginning of the common era. [11] Wootz
steel was widely exported and traded throughout ancient Europe, China, and the Arab
world, and became particularly famous in the Middle East, where it became known as
Damascus steel. Archaeological evidence suggests that this manufacturing process was
already in existence in south India well before the Christian era.[12][13]
Medieval
The world's first iron pillar was the Iron Pillar of Delhi erected during the time
of Chandragupta Vikramaditya (375–413).[14] The swords manufactured in Indian workshops
are mentioned in the written works of Muhammad al-Idrisi (flourished 1154). [15] Indian
Blades made of Damascus steel found their way into Persia. [16] During the 14th century,
European scholars studied Indian casting and metallurgy technology. [17]
Indian metallurgy under the Mughal emperor Akbar (reign: 1556-1605) produced excellent
small firearms.[18] Gommans (2002) holds that Mughal handguns were stronger and more
accurate than their European counterparts.[19]

18
Colonial era
In The New Cambridge History of India: Science, Technology and Medicine in Colonial India,
scholar David Arnold examines the effect of the British Raj in Indian mining and metallurgy:
[20]

With the partial exception of coal, foreign competition, aided by the absence of tariff
barriers and lack of technological innovation, held back the development of mining and
metal-working technology in India until the early 20th century. The relatively crude, labour-
intensive nature of surviving mining techniques contributed to the false impression that
India was poorly endowed with mineral resources or that they were inaccessible or
otherwise difficult and unremunerative to work. But the fate of mining and metallurgy was
affected by political as well as by economic and technological considerations.
The British were aware of the historical role metal-working had played in supporting
indigenous powers through the production of arms and ammunition. This resulted in the
introduction of then Arms Act in 1878 which restricted access to firearms. They also sought
to limit India’s ability to mine and work metals for use in future wars and rebellions in areas
like metal-rich Rajasthan. India's skill in casting brass cannon had made Indian artillery a
formidable adversary from the reign of Akbar to the Maratha and Sikh wars 300 years later.
By the early 19th century most of the mines in Rajasthan were abandoned and the mining
caste was ‘extinct’.[20]
During the Company period, military opponents were eliminated and princely states
extinguished, and the capacity to mine and work metals declined, largely due to British
tariffs. As late as the Rebellion of 1857, because the mining of lead for ammunition at Ajmer
was perceived as a threat, the British closed mines.[20]
Modern era
The first modern steel manufacturing plant of India was set up at the Gun & Shell Factory in
the year 1801 [21] and the Metal & Steel Factory at Calcutta,[22] both belonging to
the Ordnance Factory Board. OFB continues to be one of the largest metallurgical
organizations of India with its dedicated metallurgical factories at Heavy Alloy Penetrator
Project, Trichy for non-ferrous metals such as tungsten for anti-submarine warfare and tank
ammunition the only plant in India,[23] Grey Iron Foundry, Jabalpur, for making engines and
armoured body of vehicles [24] Ordnance Factory Muradnagar for special alloys and steel,
[25]
 Ordnance Factory Ambajhari for aluminium, brass and other special alloys for aerospace,
rockets, bombs and missiles.[26] The premier Defence Metallurgical Research
Laboratory (DMRL) of the DRDO started at the Metal & Steel Factory, Kolkata, later to be
shifted to Hyderabad.[27]
Modern steel making in India began with the setting of first blast furnace of India at Kulti-
Burnpur in 1870 and production began in 1874, which was set up by Bengal Iron Works.Tata
Iron and Steel Company (TISCO) was established by Dorabji Tata in 1907, as part of his
father's conglomerate. By 1939 it operated the largest steel plant in the British Empire. The
company launched a major modernisation and expansion program in 1951. [28]
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, a believer in Harold Laski's Fabian socialism, decided that
the technological revolution in India needed maximisation of steel production. He,

19
therefore, formed a government owned company, Hindustan Steel Limited (HSL) and set up
three steel plants in the 1950s.[29]
The Indian steel industry began expanding into Europe in the 21st century. In January 2007
India's Tata Steel made a successful $11.3 billion offer to buy European steel maker Corus
Group. In 2006 Mittal Steel Company (based in London but with Indian management)
acquired Arcelor for $34.3 billion to become the world's biggest steel maker, ArcelorMittal,
with 10% of the world's output.[30]

Abstract:

Job Satisfaction is all about how a person likes the job. It is actually more of a journey
than being a destination. It is of utmost requirement to organizations as it will increase the
job involvement level of the employees and decrease the turnover. Job satisfaction has
been a fascinating concept for researchers as well as experts since number of decades. This
paper presents the study of past literatures of job satisfaction between the years 1981 to
2014. The purpose is to find out the different attributes used for evaluating the job
satisfaction. From the review of extant literature, it has been found that it is always not
salary which leads to job satisfaction rather it is the work environment.

Keywords: Job Satisfaction, Attributes, Turnover, Work environment

Introduction
Human resource is considered to be the most valuable asset in any organization. It is the
sum-total of inherent abilities, aptitudes of the employed persons who comprise executives,
supervisors and the rank and file employees. The human resources should be utilized to the
maximum possible extent, in order to achieve individual and organizational goals. It is thus
the employee’s performance which ultimately decides the attainment of goals. Hence, the
employee’s performance is to a large extent influenced by motivation and job satisfaction.

Job satisfaction is all about how one feels about (or towards) one’s job. An employee who
expresses satisfaction is said to have a positive attitude towards the job, unlike a dissatisfied
employee who has a negative attitude towards the job. A person having negative attitude
shows a personality disposition which is inclined to experience nervousness, tension, worry,
upset and distress, where as those with positive attitude will feel happy with themselves,
others, and with their work.

Job satisfaction reflects the extent to which people find gratification or fulfilment in their
work. Job satisfaction shows that personal factors such as an individual needs and
aspirations determine his/her attitude, along with group and organizational factors such as
relationships with co-workers and supervisors and working conditions, work policies, and
compensation. A satisfied employee tends to be absent less often, to make positive
contributions, and to stay with the organization. The effect of job satisfaction goes beyond
organizational setting. Satisfied employees are more likely to be satisfied citizens. These
people will hold a more positive attitude towards life in general and make for a society of
more psychologically healthy. Job satisfaction has been considered as state of condition
where people are:

33
1) Induced to do work efficiently and effectively;

2) Convinced to remain in the enterprise;

3) Prepared to act efficiently during contingences;

4) prepared to welcome the changes without resistance;

5) Interested in promoting the image of the organization; and

6) More happy and satisfied with their job. The level of job determines the job satisfaction.

2.1 Meaning and Definitions of Employee Job Satisfaction


Employee satisfaction is a function of perceived performance and expectations. It is a
person’s feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from comparing a product’s
outcome to his/her expectations. If the performance falls short of expectations, the
employee is dissatisfied and if it matches the expectations, the employee is satisfied.

1. Job satisfaction is defined as “a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the
appraisal of one’s job or job experience”.

2. “job satisfaction is defined as the amount of overall positive effect (or feelings) that
individuals have towards their jobs”.

3. “Job satisfaction is the amount of pleasure or contentment associated with a job. If you
like your job intensely you will experience high job satisfaction. If you dislike your job
intensely, you will experience job dissatisfaction”.

4. “Job satisfaction is the favorableness or unfavourableness with which employees view


their work”

Job satisfaction can be measured based on morale, opinion, attitude, work climate,
and quality of work life.

Dimensions of Job satisfaction


There are three important dimensions to job satisfaction:

1. Job satisfaction refers to one’s feeling towards one’s job. It can only be inferred but not
seen.
34
2. Job-Satisfaction is often determined by how well out-comes meet or exceeds
expectations. Satisfaction in one’s job means increased commitment in the fulfilment of
formal requirements. There is greater willingness to invest personal energy and time in job
performance.

3. The terms job satisfaction and job attitudes are typically used interchangeably. Both refer
to effective orientations on the part of individuals towards their work roles which they are
presently occupying. Positive attitudes towards the job are conceptually equivalent to job
satisfaction and negative attitudes towards the job indicate job dissatisfaction.

Review of Literature
Savery (1989) highlighted the job satisfaction of nurses in Perth, Western Australia. The job
satisfaction level of the nurses was mainly due to interesting and challenging work which
was followed by a feeling of achievement wherein, he even said salary was ranked as a very
low satisfier. The job satisfaction level increased as the person grew old where in the
variables like gender, time in hospital, position held were controlled. Organizations should
always focus on satisfying the three basic needs (Individual motivators, Employee
relationships and personal relationships) of an employee which will in return help the
employees in achieving job satisfaction.

Melvin (1993) stated that the environmental design of an organization plays a very
important role in job satisfaction at the same time it also plays an important role in
employees high job involvement. A good environmental design of an organization helps in
resolving the conflicts and confusion. The author even cites that it is the responsibility of the
management to design the environment in such a manner that it reduces the dissatisfaction
where in the work tasks, working patterns are properly mentioned.

MacDermid(1999) studied the job satisfaction level of workaholics. He said there are six
variables of workaholic patterns i.e. Workaholics, Enthusiastic Workaholics, Work
Enthusiastic, Unengaged Workers, Relaxed Workers and Disenchanted Workers. The job
satisfaction level and career satisfaction level was much more in Enthusiastic Workaholics ,
Work Enthusiastic, Relaxed Workers than Workaholics, Unengaged Workers and
Disenchanted Workers because of the future career prospects, working involvement, drive
and work enjoyment.

Beumont (1982) in his article highlights the job satisfaction level of general household in
United States & Britain where in there is a close fit relationship in U.S than Britain. In the
study he found that in U.S there is a positive relationship between Job Satisfaction and Age
where as in Britain it was considerably low.

35
Partridge (1981) studied the job satisfaction level of women in Britain in which he found
that the job satisfaction level of women was more as compared with black men, as they
normally have low expectations from their jobs. At the same time they have a greater
feeling that the alternative jobs available to them differs very less than those available to
them.

Conclusion
The literature review indicates there are many factors which help in achieving job
satisfaction The factors may be the type of work assigned to them; work environment, work
design etc. Salary is certainly an important factor but it always doesn’t play such a big role as
it looks. Non-monetary benefits play a bigger role at large. Therefore, organizations have to
have a intellect think on their HRM system on a regular basis so that it helps in improving
the system, work environment, decreasing the job stress and finally leading to job
satisfaction and more job involvement. Future studies can focus on factors such as
mentoring, coaching and personal development plans influencing job satisfaction. The next
generation employees, the Z generation is a completely different breed. Researches focused
on understanding what influences the job satisfaction of these employees will be quite
relevant for the organizations.
