INTRODUCTION OF JOB SATISFACTION

Job satisfaction one of the most crucial but controversial issues in industrial psychology and behavioral management in organization. It ultimately decides the extent of employee motivation through the development of organizational climate of environment. MEANING The term Job Satisfaction refers to an employees general attitude towards his job. Locke defines job satisfaction as a Pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of ones job or job experiences. To the extent that a persons job fulfils his dominant need and is consistent with his expectations and values, the job will be satisfying. CONCEPTS OF JOB SATISFACTION There are so many definitions regarding job satisfaction. It is also a fact that job satisfaction is nothing but the favourable attitude or high industrial morale. But job satisfaction is an elaborate composite concept including individuals mental disposition, interpersonal relations that exists in the industry. It may be defined as The satisfaction where in one derives from doing his which is the composite product of favorable attitude, high level morale and the positive job related and even social factors. Job satisfaction is an important factor in industrial environment. The satisfied workers produce more; the industrial climate is relatively smooth and conductive. The satisfied workers are creative and

innovative. The factors that contribute to the positive morale and attitude also result in higher degree of job satisfaction. The important factors contribute to the higher level of job satisfaction. Challenging and responsible job. Numerous promotional opportunities. Impartial treatment by the management. Creativity and innovative ideas of job security. Attractive salary and perks. Freedom in work situation. Participative management. Welfare facilities like medical, uniform, canteen etc; Spontaneous TOP TO BOTTOM and BOTTOM TO TOP Communication pattern. The job satisfaction depends upon the individual mind. A source, which provides satisfaction to some employees, may not give satisfaction to others. But in general the above-mentioned factors are having correlation with the job satisfaction. Job satisfaction can be measured through, 1. Interviews Closed interviews Open ended interviews
2

2. Discussions, seminars 3. Surveys with proper questionnaires 4. Data collection through self appraisal 5. Expert approach 6. Industrial Spy etc; Whenever the survey and research are conducted on job satisfaction area, appropriate steps are to be taken to reinforce the existing job satisfaction in certain areas. In such cases immediate corrective measures are to be introduced after implementation of such measures for further reforms and modifications. In absence of introduction of appropriate corrective measures the dissatisfied workers contribute to: High labour turn over Indiscipline Low quality and quantity of production Industrial conflicts and violence like strikes, lockouts etc; Break down of communication system Disrespect of superiors No scope for good interpersonal and industrial relations So all the precautionary measures and care to be taken in case the study shows negative results.

PROCESS OF JOB SATISFACTION Every human being has his own needs and desires of them, some are conscious and some are unconscious. These needs become strong in the individual and create tension, which stimulate a behavior towards fulfilling those needs. But all needs never completely of permanently satisfied entertains extraordinary high hope and needs which are beyond his capacity to fulfill. NEED FOR THE STUDY The doctrine of modern management laid its emphasis on effective human resource management. The modern school of management lay its stress on the need for human resource management and human resource development as it is the fulcrum of management. Hence the choice of the topic job satisfaction in HRD of Madras Cements Pvt Ltd. as my project work. Job satisfaction is in a way of feeling of fulfillment that one gets on performing or doing ones job. Some of the factors, which influence job satisfaction, are like. Specific work environment. Specific individual targets. Capacity of an individual. Targets or other types of yardstick to measure ones performance. Compensation package.

This also has relevant to the cultural economical, ecological environment. It wont be extravagant to state that a sound and successful management is the result of job satisfaction of the cross section of its employees. Eventually management policy should be in consonance with deriving maximum job satisfaction.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY This project aims on eliciting the job satisfaction of the employees of Madras Cement Ltd. for this purpose a unit was chosen by the company and the study was confined in that unit of Madras Cement Ltd (Chennai). In these unit 80 employees has been chosen randomly by random sampling method. The data have been collected through questionnaire and analysed by constructing tables and diagrams.

2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Different authors have defined job satisfaction differently. Job satisfaction is nothing but the individuals general attitude towards his or her job. The person with the high level of job satisfaction holds positive attitude towards the job, while a person who is dissatisfied with his or her job holds only negative attitude about the job. According to Dr.P.C.TRIPATHI the term job satisfaction refers to an employees general attitude towards his job. The job will be satisfactory if the individuals job fulfills his dominant need and if it is consistency with his expectations. According to KEITH DAVIS, job satisfaction expresses the attitude towards ones job, the difference between the amount of rewards workers receive and the amount that they believed that should receive. Thus job satisfaction represents an attitude rather than behaviour. It is related to human needs and their fulfillment throughout the work. In fact, job satisfaction is generated by individual s perception of how well his job satisfies his basic needs on the whole. The m need for satisfaction is it brings high productivity. Turnover and interest towards the job For the person to be productive, he should be satisfied with his work. Thus, job satisfaction is a very important motivating factor for all the organizations.

THEORIES OF JOB SATISFACTION MASLOWS THEORY According to this theory, there is hierarchy of five needs they are. 1. PHYSIOLOGICAL: Includes security and Protection from physical and emotional needs. 2. SAFETY: Includes security and Protection from physical and emotional harm. 3. SOCIAL: Includes affection, belongingness, acceptance and friendship. 4. ESTEEM: Includes internal esteem factors such as self-respect autonomy and achievement and external factors such as status, recognition and attention. 5. SELF-ACTUALISATION: The drive to become hat one is capable of becoming includes growth, achieving ones potential and self-fulfillment. HERZBERGS TWO FACTOR THEORY In 1950, Herzberg conducted a study with 200 engineers and accountants employed in a firm. He asked people to describe, in detail, situations in which they felt exceptionally good or bad about their jobs. This response were then tabulated and categorized. From the categorized responses, Herzberg concluded a theory. In this theory, Herzberg divides the factor contributing to job satisfaction in to two sets, one called intrinsic factors and other called as extrinsic factor. Intrinsic factors are related to job satisfaction, while extrinsic factors are associated with job dissatisfaction. Intrinsic factors such as the work itself, responsibility and the
8

achievement, seem to be related to job satisfaction. Extrinsic factors such as supervision, pay, company policies and working conditions, seem to be related to job dissatisfaction. According to Herzberg, the factors leading to job satisfactions are separate and distinct from those that lead to job dissatisfaction. As a result, conditions surrounding the job such as quality of supervision, pay, company policies, physical working condition, relationship with others and job security were characterized by Herzberg as Hygiene Factors. When these factors are adequate, people will not be dissatisfied. Those factors, which are contributing to job satisfaction, are also called as Motivation Factors. Finally, Herzberg suggested that the opposite of Satisfaction is No satisfaction, and opposite of Dissatisfaction is No dissatisfaction.

THE EFFECT OF JOB SATISFACTION ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE The following are the effect of job satisfaction on employee performance. They are High Productivity Turn Over Less Absenteeism

SATISFACTION AND PRODUCTIVITY: Historically, the concept of human relations assumed that high job satisfaction leads to high productivity but later research indicated that it was an incorrect perception. The question that has been often raised is whether job satisfactions leads to performance or performance leads to job satisfaction. CORNELL in his studies said, A satisfied worker is a productive worker. Out of this study, he concludes that if the needs of the worker like pay, promotion etc, are satisfied in the above said job, he will be a productive worker. He will be motivated to work out of his needs are satisfies and production would be increased. Lawrence and Porter have developed a model suggesting that Productivity leads to job satisfaction. SATISFACTION AND ABSENTEEISM AND TURNOVER: The study conducted by C.Rost and Alwin F.Aander explains that satisfied worker will stay in the same job for a long time. The worker will satisfied when his heed are satisfied. Satisfying the needs of the worker can reduce the labour turnover and absenteeism . COMPONENTS OF JOB SATISFACTION According to Abraham A. Korhan, there are two types of variables that determine the job satisfaction of an individual.
10

They are: Organizational Variables Personal Variables The individual variables are occupational level, job contents, considerate leadership, pay, promotional opportunities, and interaction and work group. The personal variables are age, educational level, sex, and family size and service with the company. The following are some of the job factor that is taken into consideration in developing job satisfaction job satisfaction scales. There are three types of job factors which includes: Personal factors Factors inherent in the job Factors controllable by management PERSONAL FACTORS AGE: There is some evidence indicating increases job satisfaction with increased employees age. From the consensus of Indian studies, job satisfaction tends to increase with age but in some job, the trend may be different. This relationship has been attributed to a combination of factors including the termination of employment by dissatisfied older personnel and a kind of conservation are resignation with advancing age to the realities of life and job.
11

 EDUCATION: There is a great deal of conflicting evidence on the relationship between education and job satisfaction. One study indicated that those who had not completed high school were more satisfied. But the education and intelligence is connected with age in giving satisfaction to workers. Indian studies have generally shown that there is only less job satisfaction for a more educated worker. FACTORS INHERENT IN THE JOB: TYPE OF WORK: The type of work is most important factor inherent in the job. Some studies have shown that people will be more satisfied with the job involving changes than involving routine monotonous work. Although the type of work must be consider as a important determinant of job satisfaction, in Indian organization. SKILL: Skill is one or the major determinants of job satisfaction. As a determinant it cannot be operated alone. It can be operated together with the kind of work, occupational status, responsible, personal characteristics, and

opportunities to use the skill. OCCUPATIONAL STATUS: Occupational status is usually found to arrange themselves in hierarchy according to their relative status, prestige or values to the particular society. Occupational status and job satisfaction are related together but not identical with each other. SIZE OF THE PLANT: Size of the organization does not independently affect the employees. It affects there along with the management practices and various
12

other factors. Thus, a small organization cannot attain effectiveness by being small one. FACTORS CONTROLLABLE BY MANAGEMENT: SECURITY: Security can be provided by the organization to the employee. It is the steadiness of the employment. It is positive when the employee feels that he has reasonable chances of working under the condition of company stability. Security on job gives him opportunity to feel that he has satisfaction over his job. PRODUCTION INCENTIVES: Incentive is to increase production and to serve the economic needs of the employees. To get the incentives, the employee must be skilled person. Higher the productive skills, higher the incentives. Simply saying, an incentive is a difference between the extra efforts they put in and extra benefit they get it. WORK ENVIORNMENT: The condition under which a person works is consider as the working conditions. For an employee, the working condition must be safe and secure and pleasant. SALARY: Salary is defined as the wages given to the employees for their work. It is common to all the people in the organization. People expect the salary for their work. Salary plays in important role in job satisfaction. PERSONNEL POLICY: Personnel policies refer to what the management wants to accomplish in a management or personnel. A policy is predetermined and
13

accepted course of thought and action that is define and establish as a guide towards accepted goals and objectives. COMMUNICATION: Communication is defined as the the Transference and understanding of meaning. It is tool to express the ideas, opinion, messages etc. It acts as a bridge between the communicator and listener. The communication will be effective and perfect only if the listener understood the message communicated by the speaker exactly. By using this bridge a person can safely cross the river of misunderstanding that separate the peoples. GRIEVANCE PRODCEDURE: According to Prof.R.P.Calhoon, A grievance is defined as any thing that an employee thinks or feels is wrong generally accompanied by a actively disturbing feeling. It does not have to be justified. Prof.M.J.Jucius defines that a grievance can be a discontent or dissatisfaction, whether expressed or not, whether valid or not arising out of any thing connected with the company that an employee thinks, beliefs or even feels as unfair, unjust or in equalitable. Grievance can be caused due to difference of opinion, status of union, working condition, doubts and fears etc., grievance procedure is the formal method of dealing with grievance. There are two types of grievance procedure viz, open door type and stepladder type.

3. COMPANY PROFILE
ABOUT CEMENT INDUSTRY: Cement, the most predominant construction material in usage all over the bridges and skyscrapers owe their existence to cement. Construction and Cement have become synonymous. Cement is genetic term used for all powdered material which, when mixed with water has a plastic form, but becomes a solid structure within a few hours, the structure gaining strength building and bonding properties with age. Cement is an ancient building material. Lime and volcanic ash formed cement in the construction of classic Roman and Greek structures. Burnt gypsum was the cement used for the pyramids for Egypt. Evidence exists of its the Indus Civilization of Mohenjodaro Credit for the invention of cement goes to an English-man by the name of Joseph Aspadin of England in 1984, Aspadin manufactured cement in a rudimentary form by burning mixture of limestone and clay. It was termed Portland Cement as it resembled the Portland Stone, a popular limestone used for building in England. Another quarter of a century passed before yet another English man Issac Charles Johnson produced a slightly better quality of cement in 1850.

15

In 1857, an American named David Saylor improved the mix design of limestone and clay resulting in a much more superior quality of cement. He also called his cement by the same name, viz. Portland Cement. It was only in 1900 that further impetus was given for development of the cement industry mainly because of two factors. Firstly it had become feasible, through research work done by two French chemists, to procedure Portland cement of such a uniform quality that if could win the common faith of the building industry. Secondly, two very important mechanical inventions were made around the turn of the century. One consisted of the use of a Rotary kiln for making clinker and the other was the use of a tube mill for the grinding of cement. These two machines made it possible of manufacture Portland cement in large quantities of consistent quality and of high strength. Over the year, numerous developments took place in technology, equipment, transportation, etc., in the cement field, directed towards reducing cost of cement enabling it to be competitive not only in the national market but also in the international area. The wet kilns slowly began yielding their place to dry kilns, reducing fuel cost to 70 percent. Improvement in thermal efficiency was obtained by installation of preceptors and further efficiency was achieved with the use of precalcinatory. Finally computerization and quality control of raw material resulted in optimal usage of fuel and power.
16

ORIGIN OF THE INDUSTRY IN INDIA In India Portland the South India Industrial Ltd first manufactured cement in 1904 near Madras. In a 30 tones per day plant, However, this venture failed. In October 1914 another enterprise. Indian Cement co. Ltd. Commissional 100 tones per day rotary kiln at Porbandar (Gujarat). The next couple of years saw the emergence of two new factories when plants at Katni (MadhyaPradesh) and Lakher (Rajasthan) were commissioned. The First World War gave a fidllip to the cement industry and by 1918; the three factories together were able to procedure about 85,000 tones per year. Starting with less than a 1000 tones annum in (1914), cement production is expected to reach capacity of over 60.00 million tones per annum by the end of the Seventh Five Year Plan (1989-90). During these 80 years, the cement industry has passed through various phases of acute foreign and indigenous completion; stagnation of capacity, low productivity, and low profitability was also prolonged years of price controls. Consequently the growth has neither been uniform over the years, nor has the capacity utilization been consistently high.

Research in common parlance refer to a search for knowledge , one can also define research as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a scientific topic. According to clifford woody research comprises defining and redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions, collecting, organizing and evaluation data, marking deductions and reaching and conclusions, and at last carefully testing the conclusions of determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis. RESEARCH DESIGN For this research study a descriptive research design was used the factors that are affecting the employees in work environment is studies and the findings were described in detail. The statisticals tools like Chi-square test were applied for data analysis. TYPES OF SAMPLING NON-RANDOM SAMPLING Non-probability sampling is that sampling procedure which does not afford any basis for estimating the probability that each item in the population has of being included in the sample. Non-probability sampling is also known by different names such as deliberate sampling, purposive sampling and judgement sampling.
22

 JUDGEMENT SAMPLING In judgement sampling the researchers judgement is used for selecting items, which he considers as representative of the population. The researcher has used judgement-sampling method for selecting 80 respondents from Madras Cement Ltd., Chennai judgement sampling is used quite frequently in qualitative research where the desire happens to be, to develop hypothesis rather than to generalize to large population. DATA COLLECTION METHOD QUESTIONNAIRE METHOD The researcher used a questionnaire, which was self-developed so as to measure the job satisfaction of the employees in the organization. Questionnaire to be used must be prepared very carefully so that it may prove to be effective in collecting the relevant information. SCALING TECHNIQUE The questionnaire measures four dimensions of the job satisfaction with the help at itemized, graphic rating scale techniques. The graphic rating scale is quite simple and is commonly used in practice. Under it the various points are usually put along the line to form a continuum and rather indicates this rating by simple marking a mark.

23

 STATISTICAL TOOLS USED The data collected were carefully analysed & interpreted statistical technologychi square test is applied to draw meaningful references. A chi-square distribution method is used for judging the significant different between observed and expected frequencies. As a non-parametric test, it can be used to determine if categorical data shows dependency or the two classifications are independent.
