INTRODUCTION OF PROJECT

INTRODUCTION:
Employee satisfaction is the terminology used to describe whether employees are happy
and contented and fulfilling their desires and needs at work. Many measures purport that
employee satisfaction is a factor in employee motivation, employee goal achievement,
and positive employee morale in the workplace.
A second method used to measure employee satisfaction is meeting with small groups of
employees and asking the same questions verbally. Depending on the culture of the
3
company, either method can contribute knowledge about employee satisfaction to
managers and employees.
Employee satisfaction or Employee satisfaction is, quite simply, how content or satisfied
employees are with their jobs. Employee satisfaction is typically measured using an
employee satisfaction survey. These surveys address topics such as compensation,
workload, perceptions of management, flexibility, teamwork, resources, etc.
These things are all important to companies who want to keep their employees happy and
reduce turnover, but employee satisfaction is only a part of the overall solution. In fact,
for some organizations, satisfied employees are people the organization might be better
off without.
Employee satisfaction and employee engagement are similar concepts on the surface, and
many people use these terms interchangeably. Employee satisfaction covers the basic
concerns and needs of employees. It is a good starting point, but it usually stops short of
what really matters.
No company cannot achieve its goals if it does not have the right set of employees. The
employees in a company largely determine the success of the company. This is the reason
why companies put in extensive efforts in choosing candidates for their company. Most of
the times, skills and knowledge of the employee is considered to gauge his performance
in the company. One factor that is being overlooked by most of the company owners is
employee satisfaction.
Various surveys and researches have shown that employee satisfaction plays a pivotal
role in performance of the candidate. If any company wants to draw out the best from its
employees then it should provide best means to satisfy the need and requirements of its
customers. Before one can know various ways to facilitate employee satisfaction, it is
essential to understand what does it actually mean.
Employee satisfaction is the term used to describe a situation when employees are
satisfied and contented with his Employee and the office environment.

Importance of Employee Satisfaction
If some organisation does not see employee satisfaction amongst its employees then there
is nothing to be worried about. By following some steps, the organisation can improve
employee satisfaction. One of the best possible ways is to conduct a feedback program.
During this program, the organisation should take feedback from the employees so that
they can know what the requirements of the employees are and what exactly they are
getting in the organisation.
Conclusion
From the above set of information, the level of employee satisfaction in an organisation
can be gauged to great extent. The organisation can also make further improvements to
the existing environment if required.
Employee satisfaction in regards to one’s feeling or state of mind regarding nature of their
work. Employeecan be influenced by variety of factors like quality of one’s relationship
with their supervisor, quality of physical environment in which they work, degree of
fulfillment in their work, etc.
6
Positive attitude towards Employee are equivalent to Employee satisfaction where as
negative attitude towards Employee has been defined variously from time to time. In
short Employee satisfaction is a person’s attitude towards job.
Employee satisfaction is an attitude which results from balancing & summation of many
specific likes and dislikes experienced in connection with the job- their evaluation may
rest largely upon one’s success or failure in the achievement of personal objective and
upon perceived combination of the Employee and combination towards these ends.
7
Employee satisfaction is not synonyms with organizational morale, which the possessions
of feeling have being accepted by and belonging to a group of employees through
adherence to common goals and confidence in desirability of these goals.
Morale is the by-product of the group, while Employee satisfaction is more an individual
state of mind.
DEFINITIONS OF EMPLOYEESATISFACTION
Different authors give various definitions of Employee satisfaction. Some of them are
taken from the book of D.M. Pestonjee “Motivation and Employee satisfaction” which
are given below:
Employee satisfaction is defined as a pleasurable, emotional, state resulting from
appraisal of one’s job. An effective reaction to one’s job.
Weiss
Employee satisfaction is general attitude, which is the result of many specific attitudes in
three areas namely:
Specific Employee factors
Individual characteristics
Group relationship outside the Employee
Blum and Naylor
The term Employee satisfaction was brought to lime light by hoppock (1935). He revived
35 studies on Employee satisfaction conducted prior to 1933 and observes that Employee
satisfaction is combination of psychological, physiological and environmental
circumstances. That causes a person to say. “I m satisfied with my job”. Such a
description indicate the variety of variables that influence the satisfaction of the
individual but tell us nothing about the nature of Employee satisfaction.
Employee satisfaction has been most aptly defined by pestonjee (1973) as a job,
management, personal adjustment & social requirement. Morse (1953) considers
Employee satisfaction as dependent upon Employee content, identification with the co.,
financial & Employee status & priding group cohesiveness
One of the biggest preludes to the study of Employee satisfaction was the Hawthorne
study. These studies (1924-1933), primarily credited to Elton Mayo of the Harvard
Business School, sought to find the effects of various conditions (most notably
illumination) on workers’ productivity.
These studies ultimately showed that novel changes in work conditions temporarily
increase productivity (called the Hawthorne Effect). It was later found that this increase
resulted, not from the new conditions, but from the knowledge of being observed.
This finding provided strong evidence that people work for purposes other than pay,
which paved the way for researchers to investigate other factors in Employee satisfaction.
Scientific management (aka Taylorism) also had a significant impact on the study of
Employee satisfaction. Frederick Winslow Taylor’s 1911 book, Principles of Scientific
Management, argued that there was a single best way to perform any given work task.
This book contributed to a change in industrial production philosophies, causing a shift
from skilled labor and piecework towards the more modern approach of assembly lines
and hourly wages.
9
The initial use of scientific management by industries greatly increased productivity
because workers were forced to work at a faster pace. However, workers became
exhausted and dissatisfied, thus leaving researchers with new questions to answer
regarding Employee satisfaction.
It should also be noted that the work of W.L. Bryan, Walter Dill Scott, and Hugo
Munsterberg set the tone for Taylor’s work.
Some argue that Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, a motivation theory, laid the
foundation for Employee 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. This model served as a good basis from which early
researchers could develop Employee satisfaction theories.
IMPORTANCE OF EMPLOYEESATISFACTION
10
It gives clear evidence that dissatisfied employees skip work more often and more
like to resign and satisfied worker likely to work longer with the organization.
Employee satisfaction and occupational success are major factors in personal satisfaction,
self-respect, self-esteem, and self-development. To the worker, Employee satisfaction
brings a pleasurable emotional state that can often leads to a positive work attitude. A
satisfied worker is more likely to be creative, flexible, innovative, and loyal.
For the organization, Employee satisfaction of its workers means a work force that
is motivated and committed to high quality performance. Increased productivity- the
quantity and quality of output per hour worked- seems to be a byproduct of improved
quality of working life. It is important to note that the literature on the relationship
between Employee satisfaction and productivity is neither conclusive nor consistent.
However, studies dating back to Herzberg’s (1957) have shown at least low
correlation between high morale and high productivity and it does seem logical that more
satisfied workers will tend to add more value to an organization.
Unhappy employees, who are motivated by fear of loss of job, will not give 100
percent of their effort for very long. Though fear is a powerful motivator, it is also a
temporary one, and also as soon as the threat is lifted performance will decline.
Employee satisfaction benefits the organization includes reduction in complaints
and grievances, absenteeism, turnover, and termination; as well as improved punctuality
and worker morale. Employee satisfaction is also linked with a healthier work force and
has been found to be a good indicator of longevity.
Although only little correlation has been found between Employee satisfaction
and productivity, Brown (1996) notes that some employers have found that satisfying or
delighting employees is a prerequisite to satisfying or delighting customers, thus
protecting the “bottom line”.
11
WORKERS ROLE IN EMPLOYEESATISFACTION
If Employee satisfaction is a worker benefit, surely the worker must be able to contribute
to his or her own satisfaction and well being on the job. The following suggestions can
help a worker find personal Employee satisfaction: Seek opportunities to demonstrate
skills and talents. This often leads to more challenging work and greater responsibilities,
with attendant increases in pay and other recognition.
Develop excellent communication skills. Employer’s value and rewards excellent
reading, listening, writing and speaking skills.
Know more. Acquire new Employee related knowledge that helps you to perform tasks
more efficiently and effectively. This will relive boredom and often gets one noticed.
Demonstrate creativity and initiative. Qualities like these are valued by most
organizations and often results in recognition as well as in increased responsibilities and
rewards.
Develop teamwork and people skills. A large part of Employee success is the ability to
work well with others to get the Employee done.
Accept the diversity in people. Accept people with their differences and their
imperfections and learn how to give and receive criticism constructively.
See the value in your work. Appreciating the significance of what one does can lead to
satisfaction with the work itself. This help to give meaning to one’s existence, thus
playing a vital role in Employee satisfaction.
Learn to de-stress. Plan to avoid burn out by developing healthy stress management
techniques.
FACTORS OF EMPLOYEESATISFACTION
Hoppock, the earliest investigator in this field, in 1935 suggested that there are six major
components of Employee satisfaction. These are as under:
13
It includes relationship of worker with the employees specially those employees at
same or nearly same level within the organization.
9. Communication
It includes Employeesituation, which involves spreading the information in any
direction within the organization. Terms such as information of employee’s status,
information on new developments, information on company line of authority,
suggestion system, etc, are used in literature to represent this factor.
10. Benefits
It includes those special phases of company policy, which attempts to prepare the
worker for emergencies, illness, old age, also. Company allowances for holidays,
leaves and vacations are included within this factor.
Reasons why employees may not be completely satisfied with their jobs:

INFLUENCES ON EMPLOYEESATISFACTION
There are no. of factors that influence Employee satisfaction. For example, one recent
study even found that if college students majors coinsided with their Employee, this
relationship will predicted subsequent Employeesatisfaction. However, the main
influences can be summerised along with the dimentions identified above.
Pay
Wages and salaries are recognised to be a significant, but complex, multidimentional
factor in Employeesatisfaction. Money not only helps people attain their basic needs
butevel need satisfaction. Employees often see pay as a reflection of how managemnet
view their conrtibution to the organization. Fringe benefits are also important.
If the employees are allowed some flexibility in choosing the type of benefits they prefer
within a total package, called a flexible benefit plan, there is a significant increase in
both benefit satisfaction and overall Employeesatisfaction.
Promotions
Promotional opportunities are seem to be have avarying effect on Employeesatisfaction.
This is because of promotion take number of different forms.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
This chapter deals with the review of literature in connection with Customer satisfaction.
The following important research studies have been carried out in this field:
Malhotra, M., and Arora, S. (1999). The study investigates that level of customer
satisfaction in the public sector banks and th3e private, with the purpose of helping bank
managements to formulate marketing strategies to attract customers towards them. The
exploratory study was done by collecting dataa from the cities of amritsir, Ludhiana and
Chandigarh. Twenty attributes were taken into consideration for measuring the level of
satisfaction/disatiasfaction. The study found that there are six factiors, in order of their
improtance are routine operation factor, price factor, situation factor, environmental
facotrs, technology factor and interactive facror. Similarly, for customers of private
sector banks, the foactors found to be important are staff factor, routine operation factor,
service factor, environmental facotrs, technology factor, interactive facror and
promotional facotr. Moreover, factor wise average scores of these factors reveal that
there is significant difference between the satisfaction lvele of the customres of public
and the private sector banks. The latter are found to be more satisfied. A few strategies
suggested by the authors to improve service quality are proper training of the staff,
conducting market surveys periodically, personaliziang the service, avoiding long
queues,having well lit, ventilated and clean surroundings.
Armstrong Robert W., and Seng T.B. (2000), The study extends the current undrstanding
of cuctomer satisfaction at the business –to – business level in the Asian banking
industry. It incorporates guanxi (Cuhinese business relationship), relationship marketing
and the disconfirmation paradigm. The research highlights the importance of relational
constructs and disconfirmation paradigm in the influencing customer satisfction at the
business – to – business level in the Singapore banking industry. At the business – to –
23
business level in the Asian context, the disconfirmation papdigm is still the predominant
paradigm influencing the customer satisfaction process. Relationship marketing and
guanxi are significant in the comprehesive model of corporate customer satisfaction.
Relationship marketing is found to have both a direct and an indirect impact through
disconfirmation) on corporate customer satisfaction. Guanxi is found to exert an idirect
impact on satisfaction as opposed to the intial hypothesized direct impact on
satisfactionon.
Armstrong Robert W., and Seng T.B. (2000), “Corporate – Customer Satisfaction in
the marketing in the Banking Industry”.
Singh S. (2004) empirically studies the appraisal of customer services of PSBs in terms of
level of customer service and satisfaction determined by brand, location and design,
variety of services, rates and changes, systems and procedures etc. The study concludes
that staff behavior is very polite and services are provided even in the late hours. Study
reveals that 62 percent respondents answer that immediate credit is not given for
outstation cheques, 93 percent feel that they do not hold periodical meetings and services
are not provided according to the given schedules. It concludes that services of private
sector banks are better than the services of public sector banks.
Singh S. (2004), “An Appraisal of Customer Services of Public Sector Banks, IBA
Bulletin, Vol XXVI, No. 8, (aug.), pp. 33-38.
Saha P. and Zhao Y. (2005) analyze the relationship between service quality and
customer satisfaction in internet banking and five service quality dimensions are selected.
A qualitative research approach is used to get a better understanding of this issue. A small
quantitative survey has been also conducted to support the results obtained from the
qualitative study. Nine service quality dimensions i.e. efficiency, reliability,
responsiveness, fulfillment, privacy, communication, personalization, technology update
and logistic/technical support are identified in this study. The quality performance of all
the nine dimensions is shown to have a strong impact on customer satisfaction.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH
Research is a process in which the researcher wishes to find out the end result for
a given problem and thus the solution helps in future course of action. The research has
been defined as “A careful investigation or enquiry especially through search for new fact
in any branch of knowledge”.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
29
Descriptive research
The type of research used in this project is descriptive in nature. Descriptive research is
essentially a fact finding related largely to the present, abstracting generations by cross
sectional study of the current situation .The descriptive methods are extensively used in
the physical and natural science, for instance when physics measures, biology classifies,
zoology dissects and geology studies the rock. But its use in social science is more
common, as in socio economic surveys and job and activity analysis

SAMPLING DESIGN
Sampling is used to collect primary data when the source of data is far too many to be
exhausting handled. Sampling is the integral part of data collection process. The
way of selecting a sample is known as sample design. It is the definite plan for
obtaining a sample from a given population. It may as well lay down the number of
items to be included in the sample i.e. the size of the sample.
Sample design is determined before data are collected.
1. Primary sources: The researcher collected the primary data by means of structured
questionnaire along with personal interviews, since a few open ended questions
require clarification.
The data is collected from managers, supervisors with the help of questionnaire generated
for this purpose. The questionnaire consists of single parts.
The questionnaires have been thoroughly discussed with the respondent to clarify doubts,
if any, regarding what has been asked. It had taken the researcher nearly six weeks to
complete the survey work. The respondents have been required to give their answer by
putting tick mark across the multiple choice questions and in open ended questions the
respondents were asked to express their views in their own words. Almost all the
respondents have been contracted and interviewed personally at the time of filling up the
questionnaire. Then their replies have been received and further clarification and
supplementary information considered to be necessary have been secured.

2. Secondary Data:
The researcher has also collected the secondary data by means of the documentary
sources such as:
Company records
Registers files booklets
Magazine
Journals
Booklets

DATA ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION
33
DATA ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION:
After data have been collected, the researcher turns to the task of analyzing them. The
analysis of data requires a number of closely related operations such as establishment of
categories, the application of these categories to raw data through tabulation and drawing
statically inferences.
Tabulation is the part of technical procedure where in the classified data are put in the
form of tables.
After analyzing the data, the researcher should have to explain the findings on the basis
of some theory. It is known as interpretation.
The data has been collected from 100 employees of KJS CEMENT, MAIHAR through
questionnaire.
That made possible counting of classified data easy. From the master table various
summery tables were prepared. They have been presented along with their interpretation
in this manner.

CONCLUSION
Consumer behavior is the action and decision processes of people who purchase
goods and services for personal consumption. Consumer decision making is influenced by
social, psychological, and personal factors. Social factors are forces exerted by other
people that affect consumer behavior. A social class is a relatively homogeneous and
stable group of people with similar values, attitudes, and behaviors. A role is a set of
functions and activities that a person in a particular position is expected to perform.
Culture is learned values, behaviors, and meaningful symbols shared by members of a
society. A culture is further divided into several subcultures.
Psychological factors are internal forces within people that affect buying decisions. These
factors are motives, perception, learning and personality etc. Motivation research involves
analyzing the major motives that influence buying behavior. Perception is the process by
which an individual selects, organizes and interprets information inputs to create
meaning. An attitude is a person’s overall feeling towards some object.
