It is an obvious statement but ‘high employee satisfaction levels can reduce employee
turnover’. Dissatisfied employees tend to perform below their capabilities, result in high
turnover of staff and leave their jobs relatively quickly, and are not very likely to
recommend your company as an employer. Employee satisfaction research gives
employees ‘a voice’ and also allows the pinpointing of problematic areas, leading to the
raising of staff satisfaction levels, developing and reviewing of staff management, and
optimising corporate communications.
The HRM Monitor is a research solution to measure and improve the satisfaction and
commitment of employees. It provides insight into:

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
(1) Dail.l. Fields1, Terry.c blum2
Employee satisfaction in work groups with different gender composition has been done
by employees.
This study investigates the relationship between the gender composition of an employee's
work group and the employee's job satisfaction, using a random sample over 1600 U.S.
workers. After controlling possible confounding variables, our analysis shows that the
level of an employee's job satisfaction is related to the gender composition of the
employee's work group, and that the relationship of these variables does not differ
between male and female employees. Both men and women working in gender-balanced
groups have higher levels of job satisfaction than those who work in homogeneous
groups. Employees working in groups containing mostly men have the lowest levels of
job satisfaction, with those working in groups containing mostly women falling in the
middle. These results are consistent with predictions based on Blau's theory of social
structure, that satisfaction would be highest for employees in more heterogeneous groups.

The first study of its kind, “The Impact of Employee Attitudes on Market Response and
Financial Performance” sheds light on how employee satisfaction and engagement drive
an organization’s bottom-line success, even if those employees have no direct contact
with customers. Results of the study suggest that influencing customer behavior goes
beyond advertising, beyond delivering on a brand’s “promise,” beyond customer service
and beyond product research and development. Influencing customer behavior, which in
turn effects an organization’s success, also requires specific efforts to maximize employee
engagement and satisfaction. The study addresses a universal business principal: it is far
less costly, and more fiscally prudent, to serve and nurture relationships with current
customers than it is to acquire new customers. It behooves managers to recognize and
cultivate employee engagement and satisfaction since they do indeed influence market
outcomes and an organization’s financial performance. Dr. James L. Oakley, assistant
professor of marketing, at Purdue University’s Krannert School of Management,
supervised the research in which 110,000 surveys were mailed out, with a 34% response
rate, to 100 randomly sampled public and private media companies. Financial data was
9
provided to a third party and was derived directly from financial reports for these
organizations
(3) Hackman, J. Richard; Oldham, Greg R.
The report describes the Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS), an instrument designed to measure
the following classes of variables: (1) objective job characteristics, particularly the degree
to which jobs are designed so that they enhance work motivation and job satisfaction; (2)
personnel affective reactions of individuals to their jobs and work setting; the readiness
of individuals to respond positively to "enriched" jobs--jobs with high potential for
generating internal work motivation. Based on a specific theory of how jobs affect
employee motivation, the JDS is intended to: (1) diagnose existing jobs to determine if
(and how) redesigning could improve employee productivity and satisfaction; and (2)
evaluate the effect of job changes on employees--whether the changes derive from
deliberate "job enrichment" projects or from naturally occurring modifications of
technology or work systems. The JDS has gone through three cycles of revision and pre-
testing. Reliability and validity data are summarized for 658 employees in 62 different
jobs in seven organizations who have responded to the revised instrument. Two
supplementary instruments are also described: (1) a rating form for assessing "target"
jobs; and (2) a short form of the JDS. All instruments and scoring keys are appended.

ABOUT VARDHMAN GROUP
Establishment of Vardhman
The industrial city of Ludhiana, located in the fertile Malwa region of Central Punjab is
otherwise known as the “MANCHESTER OF INDIA”. Within the precincts of this city
is located the Corporate Headquarters of the Vardhman Group, a household name in
Northern India has carved out a niche for itself in textile industry. The Vardhman Group,
born in 1965, under the entrepreneurship of Late Lala Rattan Chand Oswal, has today
blossomed into one of the largest Textile Business houses in India. Father of present
Chairman cum managing director, SH. S.P.OSWAL.
Introduction
The Vardhman Group is one of the largest textile houses in the country. The group has the
sizeable presence in Spinning, Weaving, Sewing Threads, Fabrics Processing, Acrylic
Fiber manufacturing and Alloy Steels.
In 1965, at the time when India was awakening to the need for industrial investment,
Ludhiana, a bustling town in the fertile Malwa belt of Punjab, witnessed the
establishment of Vardhman which started as a 14,000 spindle spinning unit under the
entrepreneurship of Late Lala Rattan Chand Oswal . Vardhman has grown into full –
fledged textile group, with a range of textile products stretching from fiber to fabric. Over
the years, Vardhman has expanded its spinning capacities besides adding new business.
In 1982, the group entered the sewing thread market and has grown to be the second
largest producer of sewing thread. In 1992, it undertook forward integration in the
weaving business. It has also made its mark as the quality producer of Grey
poplin/sheeting/shirting in the domestic as well as foreign market
12
capacity of 20,000 meters per day. Soon after the group entered into fabric processing by
setting up a unit by name of Auro Textiles in Baddi itself. This unit today has a
processing capacity of 1 lac meters/day.
In 1999,the group went in for diversifying into a business where it didn’t have
sufficient expertise when it set up an acrylic fibre manufacturing facility in
Bharuch(Gujarat).But this shortcoming was overcome by bringing in the technological
capabilities of two able Japanese partners, Marubeni and Exlan, into the venture. So a
joint venture Vardhman Acrylics Ltd was set with a two Japanese companies of late the
company setting up man integrated textile manufacturing facility in Budni and
Satlapur(M.P.) where it is setting up a captive power generation unit, a spinning unit-
Satlapur as a composite unit (spinning and weaving)- Budni.The facilities are expected to
add 2.5 lac spindle to the already massive 5,00,000 spindle capacity of the group. More
importantly it would give it’s a manufacturing presence in central India from where it can
better serve its western and south Indian clients. Until now the company had all its
manufacturing units in the northern India which not only made it difficult to serve its far
off clients but also posed the problem of capacity constraints for the company at the
existing units just when demand for Textile is expected to pick up in the post quotes
scenario. The capacity is expected to solve both these problems and is expected to
become operational by 2008.
During the year 2004 -05 Vardhman Spinning and General Mills Ltd. (VSGML) merged
into Mahavir Spinning Mills Ltd.(MSML) and VSGML became a holding company.
Today companies of the Group like Vardhman Spinning & General Mills Ltd.
(VSML) and Mahavir Spinning Mills Ltd. (MSML) are listed and trade on various Stock
Exchanges in India. The Group’s joint ventures include VMT Spinning Company Ltd. (A
joint ventures with Toho Rayon Co. Ltd. and Marubeni of Japan) and Vardhman Acrylics
Ltd. (A joint venture with Japan Exlan and Marubeni, Japan)
Vardhman is also the largest manufacturer and exporter of Cotton yarns from India. It is
the second largest producer of sewing threads in India and a large producer of acrylic
fibre and greige/ finished woven fabrics. The company has been awarded the prestigious
13
‘Texprocil’ award for outstanding achievements in exports regularly over the last decade.
Adherence to systems and true dedication to quality has resulted in obtaining the coveted
ISO-9002, ISO-14002 quality award which is the first in the Textile Industry in India and
yet another laurel to its credit.Vardhman’s endeavor to provide its customers with state-
of-the art products has been felicitated time and again, by the industry and the
Government.

Weaknesses:-
1. Comparatively high prices
2. Lesser degree of promotional activity
3. Long Hierarchy
Opportunities:-
1. As quality is good and prices are comparatively high, Vardhman can always easily
liquidate stock pressure by slight reduction in prices.
2. As brand image is very good and production is too wide, Vardhman can have
some good customers with whom direct business can be established. With this
Vardhman will have better Quantity and Regularity of sales.
3. Strict payments are strengths at times as well as weakness. If a moderate policy,
as per present conditions are adopted, the dealers and customers shall be attracted
to buy more and regularly.
4. Shortened hierarchy shall provide hope for better customer service.
Threats:-
1. Smaller players in the market are using Vardhman’s process as a shield to push
their product at lower prices.
2. Companies from south are entering into Ludhiana market.
3. Capacity of Yarn Spinning is increasing rapidly in comparison to increase in
market size, resulting into the addition of new players. This would result in price
33
cuts, liberalization of payment, terms and conditions etc. the various functional
areas.
CHAPTER 3
34
To find out the reasons why the employees feel dissatisfied.
To suggest measures to improve the satisfaction level of employees.
.To examine the provisions of growth and opportunities.
To find out the areas of improvement in the company.
To know the kind of relationship between superiors and subordinates.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Employee satisfaction research encompasses many different research techniques but the
measurement of satisfaction is only the first step to improving employee satisfaction
Research Design
35
It is very important part of research methodology. To gain familiarity with the
phenomena or to achieve new insights into the study we go for exploratory research
design
Sample Design and Size
The population of are study is Corporate office, Vardhman Textiles Ltd. And
the sample size of sixty employees working in Corporate office, Vardhman Textiles Ltd.
For sampling we have used the technique namely stratified random sampling. We have
chosen this technique because the population is divided into stratas i.e officers and staff
and data is selected from each strata.
Method of Data Collection
The fourth step of research methodology is data collection. It can be done
through primary or secondary techniques. In my study I have taken both the techniques to
collect the data.
To collect primary data I have done a survey on Employee Satisfaction through a
questionnaire which was filled by the employees of Corporate Office. The
questionnaire consisted of 25 questions (23-close ended and 2-open ended) and
technique used to prepare the questionnaire is LIKERT’s Scaling.
For secondary data I have reffered journals, magazines and largely internet.
Scope of the study
Employee Satisfaction survey helps employers to measure and understand their
employee’s attitude, opinions, required motivation, commitment and satisfaction. It has
wide scope for the employees as well as the employers.
1. It will lead to improvement in the satisfaction level of employees of
Vardhman.
2. The results of the survey could be use for increasing the productivity of
the organisation.
3. Company can take measures to remove the loopholes whereever they
exist.
4. Company can work on strengthning their core competencies which came
out as the result of the survey.
36
5. Organisation can identify the root causes of job issues and problems , and
can create solutions for improvement with an accurate perspective of
employee views.
6. This survey provides the information needed to improve levels of
productivity , job satisfaction and loyalty.
7. By working on the areas of improvement, organisation can imrove the
quality and quantity of workdone by the employees
8. Employees would feel that the management is amphethetic enough to
understand their view point point and this would create a feeling of
trustworthiness among employees for the management.

CHAPTER 5
FINDINGS
58
CONCLUSION
As we know that human resources are the biggest assets of any organisation so relying
upon this criterion we can say that their satisfaction towards their job is very important,
as if they are satisfied they will work to the best of their ability which will contribute
towards the profitability of the organization and better productivity. Hence, every
organisation should always make sure that their employees are satisfied. If their
employees are not satisfied with the organisation then necessary steps should be taken to
make them satisfied because it will ultimately lead to improvement in their work which
will then contribute towards the success of organisation.
From the results of the survey, we found that more than 50% of the employees are
satisfied with the company. There are certain areas which are very good and employees
are satisfied by those areas like work culture, work environment, relationship of the
employees with the management but in certain areas the company needs improvement
such as welfare facilities, training development programs, salary structure, transport
facilities and infrastructure etc.
Though the management of Vardhman is continuously taking measures to improve the
satisfaction level of the employees but still the satisfaction level of employees is not up to
the mark so there is a scope of improvement in the policies of the company.
59
Limitations:-
Identifying the employee satisfaction level in any company is not possible without certain
hindrances and limitations due to variation in satisfaction at different levels of employees
within the organization. Certain hindrances and limitations that were being faced during
the project are as follows.
TIME: - There was lack of time on the part of respondents as the employees have a busy
schedule and well-defined job profile. They can’t afford to miss out their own job
responsibilities and perform other works.
ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOUR:- Whole of the analysis is based on the feedback of the
employees through the medium of filled questionnaire and it was based on their personal
perception and attitudes which may vary from individual to individual.
Though all efforts have been made to include all areas related to employee satisfaction to
be covered in the project work, but some issues may have been missed.
LIMITED KNOWLEDGE:- Though all efforts have been made to include all areas
related to employee satisfaction to be covered in the project work but some issues may
have been missed as the knowledge level of a student and an employee may differ to a
large extent.
These limitations were faced as they were an integral part of the research however they
did not affect the quality and parameter of the finding.
