employees are more regular than unsatisfied employees. Less satisfied employees are
more likely
to quite their jobs than more satisfied employees.
It is generally assumed that satisfied employees are more productive but research
reveals no
relationship between job satisfaction and productivity. Some of the starting
conclusions of the 26
case studies done by their berg etc are:
1) In 14 cases workers with positive attitude were more productive and workers with
attitude
2) In 9 cases there was absolutely no conversation between job satisfaction and
productivity.
After various studies it was concluded that job satisfaction did not
necessarily imply high
performance.
THEORIES ON JOB SATISFACTION:
There are various theories about job satisfaction. Some of them are discussed.
Need Fulfillment Theory: This theory says that a person is satisfied when he gets from
his job what he wants. The more he wants something the more satisfied he would
be
when receives it. To put it differently “Job satisfaction will vary directly with the
extent
to which those needs of an individual which can be satisfied are actually satisfied”.
Victor.H.Vroom views satisfaction in terms of the positively Valued outcomes that
job
provides to a person.
The drawback of fulfilment theory is that satisfaction is a function of not
only what a
person receives but also what he feels he should receive. What may satisfy one
individual
may not satisfy the other due to different in his expectation.

Equity Theory: - In This theory it is proposed that a person compares what he gets
with
what others are getting. If he feels he is getting what others are also getting, he
feels
satisfied. On the other hand if he feels that he is getting less than others, he is
dissatisfied.
Job satisfaction is thus a function of the degree to which job characteristics
meet the
desires of the reference group.
Equity theory takes into account not only the needs of an individual but also the
opinion
of the reference group to which the individual looks for guidance.
Herzberg’s two factors theory (hygiene theory)
Frederick Herzberg developed the theory called
“Two factor theory”.
The two factors are
1. Hygiene factors
2. Satisfiers
Hygiene factors are those factors whose absence causes dissatisfaction but their
presence in no
way increases satisfaction.
E.g.: pay, Company Policy, Supervision etc.
Satisfiers are those factors whose presence causes satisfaction but their absence does
not cause
dissatisfaction.
E.g.: Achievement, Recognition, Work itself etc.,
Many studies have revealed that the two-factor theory does not actually work. The
same factor
theory may serve ass a satisfier for one but a dissatisfier to another.
In present days of severe competition, Job satisfaction plays an important role in
deciding the
organization strengths. Job satisfaction is an integral part of organizational health and
important

elements in industrial relation. In the context of organization strength another
important term is

“Labour turnover”. , i.e. the rate of change of workforce, of an organization.
High rates of
Labour turnover means more number of “Dissatisfied Employees “and it does not
well for the
organizations future.
The study well reveals the opinion of the employees towards the “Personnel
policy” of the
organization. The organization can change its policies to suit the needs of the
employees and
aims at improving the working and living conditions of employees, which would
lead to their
improved production and productivity, which in turn leads to improve profits and
survival of
business in present competitive market. The phase Job satisfaction means
the adoption of
measures to promote the physical, social psychological and general well
being of working
population.
To know whether an employee is satisfied or not, the usual method is to conduct a
survey among
the employees asking them about job content, salary, Training & Development,
Performance
Appraisal, Career development policies, Welfare facilities etc. Job
satisfaction level is
determined after giving the weightage to the opinion of the employees.

HRM views people as an important source or asset to be used for the benefit of
organisation,
employees and society. No longer is manpower just one of the resource
in industries and
business; it is the most important of all resources. This is because manpower is
that resource
through which management wants to direct and control all other resources
like materials,
machine, money and others. The activities of HRM are- Human Resource Planning,
Jon Analysis
and Design, Recruitment and selection, Orientation and Placement, Training and
Development,
Performance Appraisal and Job Evaluation, Salary and wage administration,
Motivation and
Communication, Welfare, Safety and Health, Industrial Relations etc.
Human Resource Development is a function more concerned with the training and
development
of employees.
Organizations exist for people. They are made of the people, and there effectiveness
depends on
their behaviour and performance of the people constituting them. The

JOB SATISFACTION AND WORKBEHAVIOUR
Job satisfaction is an integral part of organisational health and important elements in
industrial

relation. The level of job satisfaction seems to have relation with various
aspects of work
behaviour such as accident, abstention, turnover and productivity.
Research studies have shown that satisfied employee cause fewer accidents.
Also satisfied
employees are more regular than unsatisfied employees. Less satisfied employees are
more likely
to quite their jobs than more satisfied employees.

In such a context, this paper aims to investigate the link between employee
development and worktime and workspace flexibility as relevant characteristics of
sustainable HRM, job satisfaction, and job performance among Romanian employees
in order to identify how to redesign HRM in the face of ‘future work’ challenges.
Furthermore, the paper aims to examine the impact of different types of flexible
contracts, functional, working hours, and workspace flexibility in order to highlight
the relevance of employee development and employee flexibility as important aspects
of sustainable HRM in increasing the overall level of employee job satisfaction.
Could different forms of work flexibility lead to an increase in job satisfaction and job
performance? This is the main question of our research. In attempting to answer to
this question, the empirical analysis will be structured on three levels. On the first
level, we will examine the main characteristics of both job satisfaction and work
flexibility among Romanian employees, highlighting the impact of new forms of
workspace flexibility on job performance, job satisfaction, personal time and space
management, level of comfort, level of organizational performance, level of personal
and professional relationships, level of professional development, and the overall
level of work motivation. First, we will investigate the key differences regarding the
main forms of work flexibility among Romanian employees, focusing particularly on
contractual flexibility, working time flexibility, functional flexibility, and workspace
flexibility. Second, we will identify the main determinants of work flexibility for
Romanian employees and build a composite flexibility indicator using the results
from the multiple correspondence analysis (MCA). Finally, we will investigate both
the potential impact of the composite flexibility indicator and the impact of individual
flexibility forms on the overall level of job satisfaction of Romanian employees using
the binary logistic regression model, revealing its main implications for achieving the
desideratum of sustainable HRM. This paper contributes to the sustainable HRM
literature in several ways. First, it analyses the impact of two important characteristics
of sustainable HRM employee development and worktime and workspace flexibility,
12
grounded in an evidence-based approach on two major outcomes of sustainable HRM
(job satisfaction and job performance), contributing to the diminution of the gap in
scientific knowledge especially at a national level. Second, the paper offers a first
attempt at investigating the impact of the new forms of workspaces on job
performance, job satisfaction, personal time and space management, level of comfort,
level of organizational performance, level of personal and professional relationships,
level of professional development, and the overall level of work motivation. This is
particularly important when taking into account the restrictions regarding social
distancing in the context of the current health crisis. Third, the paper considers a
multi-dimensional approach of work flexibility from the perspective of working time
and workspaces as well as employee development, which is considered to be an
important characteristic of sustainable HRM. Fourth, the paper provides, to our
knowledge, a first composite measure of work flexibility seen from different angles at
an individual level that offers a global view of the main elements of flexibility present
within Romanian organizations. Furthermore, the paper analyzes how this synthetic
measure impacts employee job satisfaction as an important outcome of sustainable
HRM, thus highlighting the way in which the HRM needs to be redesigned. The paper
is organized in the following sections. Section 1 represents the introduction,
highlighting the relevance of the topic and the main aim of our research. Section 2,
the literature review has been organized into four main sub-sections and starts with an
introductory section on sustainable HRM presenting the main conclusions from the
literature regarding job satisfaction, work flexibility, and sustainable HRM and a short
presentation of the particularities of work flexibility in times of crisis. Sections 2.2–
2.4 present the most relevant conclusions from literature regarding the relationship
between work flexibility and job satisfaction, work flexibility and job performance, as
well as work flexibility and a combination of the two. Section 3 is dedicated to the
presentation of survey design, some theoretical considerations, the methodology, and
the data
This thesis aims at identifying the impact of work satisfaction on the level of
organizational commitment in the Libyan Telecom Company. The subject of
organizational commitment is one of the most important issues to be addressed when
it comes to the employees of NGOs. The problem of this study lies in the lack of
clarity and awareness in the front of employees about the important of job satisfaction
and its relation on their productivity, performance and their loyalty. Despite the
importance of job satisfaction on organizational commitment, however, many
organizations do not pay sufficient attention to this issue due to the lack of awareness
of the senior management in these organizations of its importance and its impact on
the behavior and performance of workers.
The exploratory research type is used in this research. This approach focused on
finding new solutions or insights to specific problem depending on the study results,
the descriptive study uses to explore accurate information of people, cases, or
situations, and the explanatory study explains the relationship between the variables
of study. The results of study have shown that inadequate applications are among the
main reasons of lack organizational commitment of employees. Satisfaction with
14
work, satisfaction with pay and incentives, satisfaction with opportunities for
growth, progress and career advancement, satisfaction with the style of leadership
and supervision, satisfaction with the work group and social relations between
employees, and satisfaction with work conditions such as safety, healthy and stability,
all these factors have shown very significant impact on the level of organizational
commitment. Therefore the management of any organizations should consider these
factors and giver serious attention to improve their application, due to their positive
impact on the organizational commitment.
15
NEED FOR STUDY
Job satisfaction has a positive impact on productivity, presence and performance of
employees. Satisfied workers like to perform more willing and happily, which
increases the productivity.
Job satisfaction induces employees to remain with the organization.
The behavior of an employee is improved when he works with satisfaction.
Job satisfaction is seen more in higher levels of employees with increase in
productivity and performance.
Job satisfaction is visible in the lower cadre of employees also. The turnover
is increased with satisfied employees and satisfied sales force.
Market conditions jobs opportunities, length of work tenures, promotional
policies along with satisfied sales force will increase sales.

CHAPTER-II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
17
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 (Davis et al.,1985).
Job satisfaction is a worker’s 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 one’s efforts. Job satisfaction further
implies enthusiasm and happiness with one’s 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 fullfillment
(Kaliski,2007).
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 motivacion (Statt, 2004).
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 thejob indicate job dissatisfaction (Armstrong, 2006).
Job satisfaction is the collection of feeling and beliefs that people have about their current job.
People’s 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 (George etal., 2008).
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
kualitative (Mullins, 2005).
We consider that job satisfaction represents a feeling that appears as a result of the perception that
the jobenables the material and psychological needs (Aziri, 2008).
18
The proponderance of research evidence indicates that there is no strong linkage between
satisfaction and productivity. For example a comprehesive meta-analysis of the research literature
finds only a.17 best- estimate correlation between job satisfaction and productivity . Satisfied workers
will not necessearily be the highest producers. There are many possible moderating variables , the most
important of which seems to be rewards. If people receive rewards they feel are equitable , they will
be satisfies and this is likely to result in greater performance effort. Also, recent research evidence
indicates that satisfaction may not necessarily lead to individual performance improvement but
does lead to departamental and organizational level improvements. Finally there is still
considerable debate weather satisfaction leads to performance or performance leads to
satisfaction (Luthans, 1998).
Employee loyalty is one of the most significant factors that human resource managers in particular
must have in mind. Employee loyalty os usualy measured with the Loyalty Questonaire and can cause
serious negative consequences when not in a high level.
Usualy three typs of employee loyalty are considered: affective loyalty, normative loyalty and
continuity loyalty. Affective loyalty has do with the cases when an employee feels an emotional
connection to the company, normative loyalty is a sort of loyalty that appears in cases when the
employee feels like he ows something to the comapny and continuity loyalty comes as a result of
the fact that the employee does not have an opportunity to find a job somewhere else.
Research conducted by Vanderberg and Lance (1992) during wich they surveyed 100
profesionists in the information services for five months showd a strong relations between job
satisfaction and employee loyalty. Their research proved that the higher the degree of job satisfaction
the higher is the level of employee loyalty. Employee abstenteism causes serious aditional costs
forcompanies, therefore managers are in permanent persue of ways how to decrease and reduce it to
its minimum. Probabbly, the best way o reduvce ameployee abstenteism would be through a increase
in the level of employee satisfaction. The main idea behind this approach is that the higher the
degree of job satisfaction is the lower employee abstenteism should be.
Even though the effects are modest the fact that job satisfaction contributes to decreasing the level
of employee abstenteism remaines. So satisfaction is worth payng attention to , especially since it is
potentially under your control – unlike some of the other causes of abstenteism (e.g. illness,
accidents). But aswe said circumstances caan alter this equation. As a manager you could be
implicitly encouraging absteenteism by inforcing company policies. If people are paid for sick
19
days, and if they must be “used or lost” this is pretty strong encouragement for employees to be
absent. In other words, you’ve helped create a culture of absteenteism that can overcome the
“satisfaction” effect. (Sweney and McFarlin, 2005)
When satisfaction is high, abstenteeism tends to be low; when satisfaction is low, abstenteeism
tends to be high. However as with the other relationships with satisfaction, there are moderating
variables such as the degree to wich people feel their jobs are important. Additionally, it is
important to remember that while highjob satisfaction will not necessarily result in low abenteeism,
low job satisfaction is likely to bring about highabsenteeism.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Discuss the research design, research problems, scope and significance of the study,
sources of data, questionnaire, sample design, statistical techniques used and
limitations of the study.
Research design: A research design is an arrangement of conditions for collection
and analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research. It is
the conceptual structure within which research is conducted and it constitutes the
blueprint for the collection, measurement and analysis of data. It includes an outline
of what the researcher will do from within the hypothesis and its operational
implications to the final analysis of data. The research design used for the study is
descriptive design. Descriptive research design includes surveys and fact finding
enquires of different kinds. The major purpose of descriptive research is description
of the state of affairs, as it exists at present.
Data analysis: The primary data and secondary data collected are analyzed and are
shown in the form of bar diagram.
DATA MANAGEMENT
Source of data: The relevant data has been collected from the primary sources and
secondary sources.
Primary Data
The primary data is collected by a questionnaire from the employees. For this purpose
of data collection, the questionnaire was circulated among the employees to collect
information.
Secondary Data
The secondary data is collected by news paper, company journals, magazines,
websites etc.
Questionnaire administration
The survey is intended to secure one or more information from sample of respondents
or informants representative of employees.Though performance management system
is wide concept, only a few aspects were taken into consideration. The type of
questionnaire used in this research is close ended by using convenience sampling
22
technique. A four point scale “strongly agree to strongly disagree” was used for this
purpose.
POPULATION
For the purpose of this study 100 population is used .
SAMPLE SIZE
A sample of 100 respondents was taken using random sampling. The researcher
contacted the executive personally and brief summary of the nature of the study and
details in the questionnaire were narrated to them.
STATISTICAL TOOLS
The researcher has used mainly statistical tools to analysis the data and draw
Interpretation. Bar Analysis In this project bar test was used. This is an analysis of
technique which analyzed the stated data in the project. It analysis the assumed data
and calculated in the study. The bar test is an important test amongst the several tests
of significant developed by statistical. Weighted Average Method Tabulation,
diagram and percentage were also used to make the study more valid, reliable and
understandable.
PERIOD OF STUDY
The present study had been undertaken for period of 45days, in which it had divided
into three stages as such. Stage I is of research problem and collection the literature of
the topic chosen. Stage II is of analysis and interpretations by using different
statistical tools. Stage III is of findings and recommendations.
Study Instrument
The Study Instrument used in the study for data collection is the Questionnaire. It
contains 20 Questions and 1 suggestion if any from the employees.
What type of scale is needed in the Study?
A Rating Scale is used in the study where the associates rate an object without making
a direct comparison with another object. The choice of the Rating Scale is made
depending on the properties generated by each scale. The scale is a unit -dimensional
scale. It measures only one attribute of an associate at a time. It is a 4-point Rating
Scale with almost 2-3 favorable choices and 1-2
23
Unfavorable choices. The rating scale of most of the questions is a Forced Choice
Rating Scale which requires the associates to select one of the offered alternatives.
But for some questions where a majority of the associates are undecided, the scale is
an Unforced Choice rating Scale which provides the associates with an opportunity to
express No Opinion when they are unable to make a choice.
24
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

employees.
To know the relationship among the employees in the organization
25
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The study limited to HDFC , Hyderabad branch.
The study is limited to 45 days only.
Employees are not interested to answer the forms, but we convinced them for
answering.
Employees took many days to fill the questionnaire.
The Employees name is mentioned in the questionnaire for collection of the
forms. They feel that there may be any (negative) draw back to them if they
gave the information negatively.
The sample size being restricted to 60 only
Short time period: The time period for carrying out the research was short as
a result of which many facts have been left unexplored.
Lack of resources: Lack of time and other resources as it was not possible to
conduct survey at large level.
Small area for research: The area for study was Kaithal, which is quite a
small area to judge job satisfaction level.

CHAPTER – IV
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
27
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
The Job Satisfaction is an important and widely discussed research topic in almost
all the fields. Since the rise of the human relations movement in industry in the
thirties and forties, Job Satisfaction has become a major focus of research. Many
researchers have focussed on Job Satisfaction ever since the revelations made by the
Hawthorne high-lightings, and its importance in effective human relations leading to
Organizational effectiveness.
Review of literature is the most important aspect in any research work. It is a
measure, stating the recent output on a particular area of research and organised in
a helpful sequence to strengthen the present research techniques. The main
objective of the review of literature is to understand the research activities that
have taken place in a particular discipline in general and the area of research in
particular. As the present study is aimed at Job Satisfaction in public libraries of
Andhra Pradesh, all the relevant literature available was reviewed and presented.
The contribution of academicians, information scientists, research scholars and
library professionals on this topic in various dimensions has yielded invaluable
set of research output. The research publications with bearing on the thesis of
present study over a period from 1970 to 2012 are covered and reviewed. This
review provided a finer perspective on the present area of research i.e. Job
Satisfaction in Public Libraries.
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is one of the prominent motivation theory that laid the
foundation for job satisfaction theory. This theory explains that people seek to satisfy
five specific needs in life – physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, self-
esteem needs, and self-actualization. In this theory it states that the lower needs must
be met before the others can be achieved (Robbins and Coulter, 2007) . This model
served as a good basis from which early researchers could develop job satisfaction
theories. 2.2.2 Herzberg’s Two Factor Theory Herzberg developed one of the earliest
theories relating to job satisfaction in the 1950s. The Two-Factor Theory, also known
as Motivator– Hygiene Theory, emphasizes that there are factors in the workplace that
create satisfaction referred as motivators and those which lead to dissatisfaction if
28
they are not present or hygiene factors (Hackman, Oldham, 1976). There are four
motivators in the theory: achievement, recognition,
responsibility, and advancement. There are five hygiene factors: monetary rewards,
competent supervision, policy and administration, working conditions and peer
relationship. The implication of the theory is that satisfaction and dissatisfaction are
not opposite ends of the same scale and that job satisfaction may merely be an
absence of job dissatisfaction (Robbins and Judge, 2007). Herzberg argues that it is
necessary to have hygiene factors at an acceptable level simply to reach a neutral
feeling about the job. The theory is simple and supports the argument that manager
should take effort on improving hygiene factor from the workplace and also
emphasize on motivation factor to develop the right people on the job. 2.2.3 Affect
Theory The Locke’s Range Affect Theory was developed in 1976, it is considered as
one the most famous job satisfaction models and is used by many researchers. 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. This theory also states
that how much one values a given facet of work moderates the satisfaction one
achieves when expectations are met. Conversly, dissatisfaction occurs when
expectations are not met.
Veldhoven 2009). These long work hours may be indicative of a strong commitment
by clergy to their congregations and community. Personal dedication, investment in
one‟s job, and commitment increase job satisfaction in clergy and religious order
workers (Wittberg 1993). Anecdotal accounts can certainly verify this commitment,
and it is something clergy have in common with firefighters (Lee & Olshfski 2002).
Uncertainty of job expectations, volume of work, incompatibility of expectations, and
work-family conflict increase emotional exhaustion, and uncertainty of expectations
decreases job satisfaction (Hang-yue, Foley, & Loi 2005). Influence within the church
(Wildhagen, Mueller & Wang 2005) and authority (Miner, Sterland, & Dowson 2006)
also seem to relate to job satisfaction. This sense of control in the workplace also
contributes to job satisfaction in firefighters (Lourel, Abdellaoui, Chevaleyre, Paltrier
& Gana 2008), and autonomy was related to decreased emotional exhaustion in those
doing people work (Daalen, et al. 2009). Nelsen and Everett (1976) suggest the
29
members‟ willingness to be taught is related to job satisfaction, and it has been shown
that a feeling of frustration when teaching contributes to low job satisfaction in
special education teachers (Stempien & Loeb 2002). Mental Health, Religion &
Culture has a special issue dedicated to clergy burnout (January 2007.)
Lewis, Turton and Francis (2007) introduce the issue with a summary of its contents,
which may be a helpful resource. All studies included in the issue use the Maslach
Burnout Inventory, which seems to be a helpful tool. Within this issue, Miner (2007a)
reports that ministers experience stress in their first year related to their relationships
with family and friends, including marital stress, and related to ministry expectations,
conflicts, and loss of people in the church. Miner (2007b) also reports that openness to
change of beliefs may contribute to burnout.
It is suggested that theological students are encouraged not only to explore their
beliefs but also to integrate them before they enter the ministry. Doolittle (2007)
discusses coping strategies and finds that planning, acceptance and positive reframing
relate to increased personal accomplishment while self-blame, disengagement,
distraction and denial relate to increased emotional exhaustion. A higher spirituality
score, however, is also correlated with higher emotional exhaustion and personal
accomplishment, suggesting that clergy satisfaction is complicated and that emotional
exhaustion may not mean dissatisfaction.
Doolittle also finds evidence to support the need for clergy to maintain healthy
boundaries. A study by Randall (2007) suggests that younger clergy experience more
burnout. Family stress certainly contributes to job satisfaction (Hang-yue et al. 2005).
Marital discord and more children are related to decreased job satisfaction (Rogers &
May, 2003). Relocation, which is particularly relevant to United Methodist clergy,
may contribute to marital discord, especially when there are children involved. Wives
feel more stress than their clergy husbands when relocating, dealing especially with
their own and their children‟s sense of loss and loneliness when leaving their social
network (Frame & Shehan, 1994). Clergy generally express excitement about a move
while spouses express concern over the financial burden, changing schools for the
children, and loss of friends as well as lack of support from the clergy spouse. Both
30
clergy and their wives see a need for more and better family-oriented support services
from the denomination, but wives reported this in significantly higher levels (Morris
& Blanton 1995). A study of physicians, who tend to work more than 40 hours per
week as clergy do, also points to family issues relating to job stress (Rovik et al.
2007). Number of children was shown to relate to increased job stress, and spousal
support was shown to relate to decreased job stress. It may be assumed that female
clergy have lower satisfaction than do male clergy due to lower pay and respect and
more family stress.
A gender paradox is found within work satisfaction and clergy, however, and female
clergy are generally as satisfied or more satisfied than are their male counterparts
despite perceiving the system as unjust, receiving less pay, having fewer opportunities
for advancement, and having smaller churches with smaller budgets (McDuff 2001).
While research on emotional exhaustion and burnout among clergy may seem to
abound, other reports suggest that job satisfaction and desirability of the profession
remains high. One study shows clergy are generally satisfied with their profession and
that the perception of “result awareness” and a feeling of performing significant work
contribute to this satisfaction (Zondag 2004). Clergy were even among those
considering their organizations to produce the least amount of stress, along with
hospice workers and pastoral care providers (Csiernik & Adams 2002). Important
resources for clergy may be a support network of friends and colleagues (Daalen et al,
2009), spousal support (Rogers & May, 2003), and encouragement from their
congregations (Wildhagen et al. 2005; McDuff 2001). Increased age has also been
found to be related to increased job satisfaction (Randall 2007; Mitchell 1967),
pointing to a need for resources for younger clergy
This theory examines motives through the perception of what a person believes will
happen based on anticipated rewards and costs. The theory uses three factors which
are expectancy, instrumentality and valence that influence motivation. He argues that
work motivation is determined by individual beliefs regarding effort / performance
relationships and work outcomes. In short, the expectancy theory is the perceived
31
value of a reward for accomplishing a goal. If the person expects the reward to be
good / high, then maximum effort would be given. Likewise if the expected reward is
poor / low, then minimal effort would be shown.
Therefore, when the reward seemed undesirable, it may lead to job dissatisfaction. 2.3
Previous Literature Review of Job Satisfaction Tahir (2000) examined the overall job
satisfaction among RMAF air traffic controller. The aim of the research was to gauge
the level of job satisfaction among military air traffic controller with major objectives
of analyzing the main factors that affect their job satisfaction and to determine the
overall ranking of the factor, in term of importance and contribution to the level of job
satisfaction. This exploratory study was based on analytical framework and model of
Barnowe, Mangione and Quinn (1972). The study used a non experimental and
quantitative design using survey questionnaire of 93 military air traffic controller as
well as interviews with policy makers in the RMAF. The independent variables based
on work environment were relationship with the job, superior-subordinate
relationship, relationship with peer, economic rewards, organization climate and off-
the-job rewards. The demographic characteristics were also used as independent
variable. The dependent variable was overall job satisfaction.
Tahir found that majority (92.4%) of the air traffic controllers were satisfied with their
job. Economic rewards and relationship with peer were significantly related to job
satisfaction. In demographic expects, those controllers who are relatively younger,
lower rank, holding junior appointments, less qualified and newer in service have low
satisfaction level in their relationship with peers. Similarly, older controllers with
higher rank, holding senior appointment with better qualification and longer job
tenure have low satisfaction on economic rewards. He also found poor promotion
prospect has contributed significantly to lower satisfaction among the air traffic
controllers. Based on the results of the study, he suggested that more sports and social
activities could be conducted to improve the peer relationship among the junior
controller. As for the senior controllers, he suggested that RMAF should review the
promotion system to enhance job satisfaction among them.
32
Another study by Ellickson (2002) examined the determinants of job satisfaction of
municipal government of employees in USA. The aim of the research was to enhance
the knowledge of the determinants of job satisfaction among municipal government
employees as this organization has long been neglected in the job satisfaction
literature. This exploratory study was based on environmental factors and personal
characteristics associated with job satisfaction. In the environment factors they
included 11 variables: equipment and resources, physical work space, safe work
environment, training, workload, departmental esprit de corps, pay, benefits,
promotional opportunities, performance appraisal, and supervision.
The analysis revealed that 9 out of the 11 environmental variables tested were
statistically significant factors of job satisfaction. The factors on adequate physical
work space and a safe work environment did not reach a level of statistical
significance. The departmental pride clearly emerged as the most powerful
determinant of variation in overall job satisfaction among municipal employees.
Aside from departmental pride, promotional opportunities, pay benefit were among
the model's most important predictors of job satisfaction. The strength of these three
33
factors lends strong support to the importance of extrinsic rewards in the development
of municipal employee job satisfaction. In contrast, only one of three personal
attributes tested emerged as a significant predictor of job satisfaction, although
gender's impact was successfully stated in the null. Price (2002) also looked at the job
satisfaction of registered nurses and the factors that led to satisfaction or
dissatisfaction in the acute adult hospital in USA.
Price’s study had a quantitative, descriptive design and was based on the theoretical
framework of Maslow’s need hierarchy theory. He used a systematic sampling design
to select 175 of the 351 nurses in the same field across the country. The questionnaire
used in Price’s (2002) study to measure nurse satisfaction was the Mueller McCloskey
Nurses Satisfaction Scale (MMSS).
It is a Likert scale ranging from 1 (very dissatisfied) to 5 (very satisfied) and it has
been found to be both valid and reliable with a correlation coefficient of 0.89. The
MMSS had eight subscales that included satisfaction with extrinsic rewards,
scheduling, balance of family and work, co-workers, interaction opportunities,
professional opportunities, praise and recognition, and controls and responsibility.
The results of the study showed that 58% of the participants were generally satisfied
with their job and 42% were either dissatisfied or undecided.
According to the mean scores of the eight subscales on the MMSS, co-workers (3.8)
and extrinsic rewards (3.5) were rated the highest in relation to satisfaction and
professional opportunities (2.6) and control and responsibility (2.7) were rated the
lowest. It was also found that the most satisfied nurses were working part-time,
between 51 and 60 years old, and had been working in post for 7-10 years. The most
dissatisfied nurses were working full-time, between 31 and 40 years old, and had been
working in post for 3-4 years. The results of this study emphasized the relationships
between coworkers and employment benefits as disssatisfiers along with low levels of
perceived autonomy and professional opportunities as satisfiers.
34
Most other factors of dissatisfaction were related to the amount of encouragement,
feedback, and recognition that is received from administration and the nurse’s
opportunities to participate in decision-making. All of these aspects of dissatisfaction
could be changed at the administrative and managerial levels to increase the nurses’
satisfaction. Castillo and Cano (2004) examined the factors explaining job satisfaction
among faculty at the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at
The Ohio State University, USA. The purpose of the study was to describe the amount
of variance in faculty member’s overall level of job satisfaction explained by
Herzberg, Mausner, Snyderman (1959) job motivator and hygiene factors.
Additionally, the study sought to investigate the suitability of a one-item versus a
multi-item measure of overall job satisfaction. The independent variables were salary,
supervision, policy and administration, peer relationship, work conditions of hygiene
factor and work itself, advancement, achievement, recognition and responsibility of
motivation factor. The dependent variable was overall job satisfaction. The study
used a quantitative survey of 172 members of faculty. The questionnaire consisted of
three parts: the Job Satisfaction Index, Wood (1973) Faculty Satisfaction /
Dissatisfaction Scale, and demographic characteristics. Part I of the instrument
contained the Job Satisfaction Index. The Job Satisfaction Index considered all facets
of the job when measuring job satisfaction, utilizing an 18-item, five-point Likert type
scale, with responses ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Part II
of the questionnaire consisted of Wood (1973)
Their study follow a descriptive correlational design based on Hackman and Oldham
(1980) theory that describes a job characteristic which is an attribute of a job that
creates conditions for high work motivation, satisfaction and performance. The study
used questionnaire survey of a modified version of the Job Diagnostic Survey (JDI)
developed by Hackman and Oldham (1980), consists of two sections of job
satisfaction construct, namely personal satisfaction and context satisfaction. The
questions asked in the personal satisfaction construct relates to internal work
motivation, growth satisfaction, and general satisfaction. Whereby, job security, pay,
co-worker relations and supervision were used to measure context satisfaction. The
sub scales of demographic characteristics used in the study were gender, age, race,
marital status, education level, previous position and current position held by
Extension agents.
Dhar and Jain5 (1992) carried out an investigation amongst academicians. The
investigation explored the nature of relationship between Job Satisfaction, Job
Involvement, Age and Length of service. An important finding of the study was that
Job Involvement and Job Satisfaction are positive correlates which imply that
involvement in Job increases Job Satisfaction and vice-versa.
Syeed6 (1992), made an endeavour to determine the relationship between employee
Job Satisfaction and Organisational effectiveness. The sample for the study consisted
of 44 supervisors of a public sector undertaking which was randomly drawn from a
single unit of the Company. The main objective of the study was to relate
satisfaction with Organisational effectiveness along with personal attributes such as
37
age, education, pay, length of service etc. the study revealed that Job satisfaction
facets had more explanatory power than the personal attributes of respondents. It was
clear from the study that the Organisation through its human resource development
policies and practices created better environment for employees, resulting in greater
satisfaction which in turn enhanced Organisational effectiveness.
Rama Devi7 (1997) conducted a study on faculty Job Satisfaction and their views
on management of the two universities in Andhra Pradesh. The sample consisting
of 200 teaching faculty and 100 members were selected randomly from each
university and the attempt was made to measure Job Satisfaction of the faculty in
universities of Andhra Pradesh. The study found that the factors such as freedom
in job, scope for self-improvement, income and job security were causing
satisfaction while bureaucratic rules, no recognition for work and routine work
were causing dissatisfaction to them.
Sarri and Judges’8 (2004), article provided greater understanding of the research on
employee’s attitudes and Job Satisfaction. The article identified three gaps between
Human resource practice and the scientific research in the area of employee attitudes
in general and the most focal employee attitude in particular –Job satisfaction: the
causes of employee attitudes, the result of positive or negative job satisfaction and
how to measure and influence employee attitudes. Suggestions for practitioners are
provided on how to close the gaps in knowledge and for evaluating implemented
practices.

CHAPTER-V
INDUSTRY PROFILE

COMPANY PROFILE
INDUSTRY PROFILE
Evolution
Indian Stock Markets are one of the oldest in Asia. Its history dates back to nearly 200
years ago. The earliest records of security dealings in India are meager and obscure. The
East India Company was the dominant institution in those days and business in its loan
securities used to be transacted towards the close of the eighteenth century.
By 1830's business on corporate stocks and shares in Bank and Cotton presses took
place in Bombay. Though the trading list was broader in 1839, there were only half a
dozen brokers recognized by banks and merchants during 1840 and 1850.
The 1850's witnessed a rapid development of commercial enterprise and brokerage
business attracted many men into the field and by 1860 the number of brokers increased
into 60.
In 1860-61 the American Civil War broke out and cotton supply from United States of
Europe was stopped; thus, the 'Share Mania' in India begun. The number of brokers
increased to about 200 to 250. However, at the end of the American Civil War, in 1865,
a disastrous slump began (for example, Bank of Bombay Share which had touched Rs
50 could only be sold at Rs. 87).
At the end of the American Civil War, the brokers who thrived out of Civil War in
1874, found a place in a street (now appropriately called as Dalal Street) where they
would conveniently assemble and transact business. In 1887, they formally established
in Bombay, the "Native Share and Stock Brokers' Association" (which is alternatively
known as " The Stock Exchange "). In 1895, the Stock Exchange acquired a premise in
the same street and it was inaugurated in 1899. Thus, the Stock Exchange at Bombay
was consolidated.
Other leading cities in stock market operations
Ahmadabad gained importance next to Bombay with respect to cotton textile industry.
After 1880, many mills originated from Ahmadabad and rapidly forged ahead. As new
mills were floated, the need for a Stock Exchange at Ahmadabad was realized and in
1894 the brokers formed "The Ahmadabad Share and Stock Brokers' Association".
What the cotton textile industry was to Bombay and Ahmadabad, the jute industry was
to Calcutta. Also tea and coal industries were the other major industrial groups in
Calcutta. After the Share Mania in 1861-65, in the 1870's there was a sharp boom in jute
shares, which was followed by a boom in tea shares in the 1880's and 1890's; and a coal
boom between 1904 and 1908. On June 1908, some leading brokers formed "The
Calcutta Stock Exchange Association".
In the beginning of the twentieth century, the industrial revolution was on the way in
India with the Swadeshi Movement; and with the inauguration of the Tata Iron and
Steel Company Limited in 1907, an important stage in industrial advancement under
Indian enterprise was reached.
Indian cotton and jute textiles, steel, sugar, paper and flour mills and all companies
generally enjoyed phenomenal prosperity, due to the First World War.
In 1920, the then demure city of Madras had the maiden thrill of a stock exchange
functioning in its midst, under the name and style of "The Madras Stock Exchange"
with 100 members. However, when boom faded, the number of members stood reduced
from 100 to 3, by 1923, and so it went out of existence.
In 1935, the stock market activity improved, especially in South India where there was a
rapid increase in the number of textile mills and many plantation companies were
floated. In 1937, a stock exchange was once again organized in Madras - Madras Stock
Exchange Association (Pvt) Limited. (In 1957 the name was changed to Madras Stock
Exchange Limited).
Lahore Stock Exchange was formed in 1934 and it had a brief life. It was merged with
the Punjab Stock Exchange Limited, which was incorporated in 1936.
On account of the restrictive controls on cotton, bullion, seeds and other commodities,
those dealing in them found in the stock market as the only outlet for their activities.
They were anxious to join the trade and their number was swelled by numerous others.
Many new associations were constituted for the purpose and Stock Exchanges in all
parts of the country were floated.
The Uttar Pradesh Stock Exchange Limited (1940), Nagpur Stock Exchange Limited
(1940) and Hyderabad Stock Exchange Limited (1944) were incorporated.In Delhi two
stock exchanges - Delhi Stock and Share Brokers' Association Limited and the Delhi
Stocks and Shares Exchange Limited - were floated and later in June 1947,
amalgamated into the Delhi Stock Exchange Association Limited.
Post-independence Scenario
Most of the exchanges suffered almost a total eclipse during depression. Lahore
Exchange was closed during partition of the country and later migrated to Delhi and
merged with Delhi Stock Exchange.
Bangalore Stock Exchange Limited was registered in 1957 and recognized in 1963.
Most of the other exchanges languished till 1957 when they applied to the Central
Government for recognition under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956.
Only Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, Ahmadabad, Delhi, Hyderabad and Indore, the well
established exchanges, were recognized under the Act. Some of the members of the
other Associations were required to be admitted by the recognized stock exchanges on a
concessional basis, but acting on the principle of unitary control, all these pseudo stock
exchanges were refused recognition by the Government of India and they thereupon
ceased to function.
Thus, during early sixties there were eight recogn ized stock exchanges in India
(mentioned above). The number virtually remained unchanged, for nearly two decades.
During eighties, however, many stock exchanges were established: Cochin Stock
Exchange (1980), Uttar Pradesh Stock Exchange Association Limited (at Kanpur,
1982), and Pune Stock Exchange Limited (1982), Ludhiana Stock Exchange
Association Limited (1983), Gauhati Stock Exchange Limited (1984), Kanara Stock
Exchange Limited (at Mangalore, 1985), Magadh Stock Exchange Association (at
Patna, 1986), Jaipur Stock Exchange Limited (1989), Bhubaneswar Stock Exchange
Association Limited (1989), Saurashtra Kutch Stock Exchange Limited (at Rajkot,
1989), Vadodara Stock Exchange Limited (at Baroda, 1990) and recently established
exchanges - Coimbatore and Meerut. Thus, at present, there are totally twenty one
recognized stock exchanges in India excluding the Over The Counter Exchange of India
Limited (OTCEI) and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSEIL).
The Table given below portrays the overall growth pattern of Indian stock markets since
independence. It is quite evident from the Table that Indian stock markets have not only
grown just in number of exchanges, but also in number of listed companies and in
capital of listed companies. The remarkable growth after 1985 can be clearly seen from
the Table, and this was due to the favoring government policies towards security market
industry.
Trading at OTCEI is done over the centres spread across the country. Securities traded
on the OTCEI are classified into:
Listed Securities - The shares and debentures of the companies listed on the OTC can
be bought or sold at any OTC counter all over the country and they should not be listed
anywhere else
Permitted Securities - Certain shares and debentures listed on other exchanges and units
of mutual funds are allowed to be traded
Initiated debentures - Any equity holding at least one lakh debentures of a particular
scrip can offer them for trading on the OTC.
OTC has a unique feature of trading compared to other traditional exchanges. That is,
certificates of listed securities and initiated debentures are not traded at OTC. The
original certificate will be safely with the custodian. But, a counter receipt is generated
out at the counter which substitutes the share certificate and is used for all transactions.
In the case of permitted securities, the system is similar to a traditional stock exchange.
The difference is that the delivery and payment procedure will be completed within 14
days.
Compared to the traditional Exchanges, OTC Exchange network has the following
advantages:
• OTCEI has widely dispersed trading mechanism across the country which provides
greater liquidity and lesser risk of intermediary charges.

CONCLUSIONS
The organization has to facilitate the employees with better challenging work
so that they can retain them in their organization.
Making the new employee aware that the intention is to keep them as long as
possible encourages the employee in committing to long term goals and
planning within the organization.
Finally, I would like to conclude that all my suggestions would bring positive
result both to management and to the employees, if the management put in
practice. Every company should know the problem of the employees, so that
employees feel positive towards the organization.
