EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Today, in every organization personnel planning as an activity is necessary. It is an important part
of an organization. Human Resource Planning is a vital ingredient for the success of the
organization in the long run. There are certain ways that are to be followed by every
organization, which ensures that it has right number and kind of people, at the right place and
right time, so that organization can achieve its planned objective.
The objectives of Human Resource Department are Human Resource Planning, Recruitment and
Selection, Training and Development, Career planning, Transfer and Promotion, Risk
Management, Performance Appraisal, Retention, Employee Satisfaction and so on. Each
objective needs special attention and proper planning and implementation. For every
organization it is important to have a right person on a right job.
With reference to this context, this project has been prepared to put a light on Employee
Satisfaction with special reference to retention ratio or intention to stay in the organisation.
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.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
Workforce is a heavyweight component of any organization and therefore employees are always
considered as the greatest asset of an organization. Without employees, organizations will not be
able to produce business results, achieve organization goals, or meet its financial objectives.
Most organizations recognize the importance of human resources in realizing the success of their
businesses. A profit-making company may possess the strongest edge, in terms of technology,
depth in funding, market location etc., but without its strong workforce to execute their
respective roles and responsibilities, the company would not be able to progress to meet any of
its business or organizational goals.
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.
Employee satisfaction, while generally a positive in your organization, can also be a downer if
mediocre employees stay because they are satisfied with your work environment.
Unwanted employee turnover is one of the biggest and most costly business problems companies
may face (Taylor, 2002). Besides losing the costly knowledge base when employee leaves, the
organization will have to re-organize its resources so that business plans and goals will continue
to stay the course. For any team or organization, which is tightly or thinly staffed, losing a
member of the team or member of the staff would cause major agony, increase work pressure,
drop in employee morale and in extreme cases, failure in achieving desired results (Mobley,
1982). To hire or get a replacement employee will normally take some time. Furthermore, the
works that need to be put in before hiring or getting a replacement employees require a great deal
of effort and involve substantial amount of efforts. Besides effort and time, these activities would
also require substantial costs (Mobley, 1982).
Intent to stay is the perception of the "estimated likelihood of continued membership in an
organization" (Price & Mueller, 1981, p. 546). The investigation of factors associated with intent
to stay is important because there is a great potential for managers and administrators to develop
interventions and processes that may facilitate the intent to remain in organizations and
subsequently prevent the costs associated with staff turnover. Previous studies (Cavanagh &
9 | Page
Coffin, 1992; Price & Mueller, 1981; Van Breukelen, Van Der Vlist, & Steensma, 2004;
Weisman, Alexander, & Chase, 1981) suggested that intent to stay is a good predictor of
turnover. This association suggests that when nurses no longer intend to stay in an organization,
this intention is likely to be followed by turnover behavior (Irvine & Evans, 1995). Previous
studies also suggest that demographic variables such as age, degree held, and experience were
related to intent to stay in some studies (Fisher, Hinson, & Deets, 1994; Ingersoll, Olsan, DrewCates, DeVinney, & Davies, 2002; Kosmoski & Calkin, 1986; Price & Kim, 1993). The focus of
previous work has been on the relationships between intent to stay and demographic variables,
but not on the relationship of intent to stay and organizational empowerment variables.
Measuring Employee Satisfaction
Employee satisfaction drives employee retention, indirectly creating profit for an organization.
10 | P a g e
Employee satisfaction is also a prerequisite for staff retention. Organizations with higher staff
retention rates are naturally better at retaining knowledge, which can lead to better performance
and profit for the business.
Improved employee satisfaction reduces the cost of staff turnover, builds brand loyalty with staff
and positions the company as an employer of choice that attracts talented people to the
organization.
Job satisfaction has been defined as a pleasurable emotional state resulting from the appraisal of
ones job an affective reaction to ones job; and an attitude towards ones job.
One of the biggest preludes to the study of job satisfaction was the Hawthorne studies. These
studies (19241933), 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 job satisfaction.
There are many methods for measuring job satisfaction. By far, the most common method for
collecting data regarding job satisfaction is the Likert scale (named after Rensis Likert). Other
less common methods of for gauging job satisfaction include: Yes/No questions, True/False
questions, point systems, checklists, and forced choice answers. This data are sometimes
collected using an Enterprise Feedback Management (EFM) system.
Employee Satisfaction leads to increased employee retention. Employee Retention involves
taking measures to encourage employees to remain in the organization for the maximum period
of time. Hiring knowledgeable people for the job is essential for an employer. But retention is
even more important than hiring. There is no dearth of opportunities for a talented person. There
are many organizations which are looking for such employees. If a person is not satisfied by the
job hes doing, he may switch over to some other more suitable job. In todays environment it
becomes very important for organizations to retain their employees. Employees comprise the
11 | P a g e
most vital assets of the company. In a work place where employees are not able to use their full
potential and not heard and valued, they are likely to leave because of stress and frustration. In a
transparent environment while employees get a sense of achievement and belongingness from a
healthy work environment, the company is benefited with a stronger, reliable work-force
harboring bright new ideas for its growth.
Employee retention is a process in which the employees are encouraged to remain with the
organization for the maximum period of time or until the completion of the project. Employee
retention is beneficial for the organization as well as the employee.
12 | P a g e
Job security has attracted a great deal of research interest in recent years.
The importance of job security comes from the fact that it is vital for influencing workrelated outcomes.
Job security appears to be an important determinant of employee health; for employee
turnover; for employee satisfaction and for organizational commitment. Ashford et al., (1989)
examined the impact of job insecurity on organizational commitment and employee
satisfaction and found that job insecurity is leads to reduced satisfaction and commitment.
There is also evidence were job insecurity reduces job performance.
3. Social Simulation
Work and social simulation is another determinant factor of employee satisfaction.
Employees prefer positions were they are active rather than bound to a working routine that
is likely produce feelings of boredom.
Employees who perceive their job as a way of making a career out of it rather than seeing it
as a temporary position, are more likely to prefer challenges in their working tasks and seek
further developmental opportunities in their working role (Greenberg & Baron, 1983).
4. Demographic Factors
Studies have shown that age, race and gender have important effects on employee
satisfaction.
In a study conducted by Kalleberg and Loscocco, (1983) older workers were more satisfied
than younger workers and minority groups of different ethnicity were less satisfied than the
rest of the workers. However, the effects of gender on employee satisfaction vary with the
level at which an individual works.
A study by H. Jack Shapiro and Louis W. Stern found that professional women such as
clinical psychologists, social workers, and medical workers experienced lower levels of
employee satisfaction than their male counterparts (Shapiro & Stern, 1998). Among non
professionals the reverse was true.
In a consequent study, employee satisfaction was examined across graduates five years after
they had graduated from university and the results show that at higher occupational levels
men expressed more satisfaction than women in terms of pay and opportunities for
13 | P a g e
advancement.
5. Opportunity for Promotion
Employee perceptions about opportunity for promotion are also another determinant that
influences employee satisfaction. One survey found that a perceived lack of promotion
opportunities was the strongest reason why federal employees left government service.
6. Recognition and Appreciation
In a study that was carried out in 23 Romanian organizations, recognition and appreciation
were found to be motivating factors responsible for increased effectiveness of employees at
work and their high levels of employee satisfaction.
7. Interpersonal relationships
Several studies take a social approach to employee satisfaction, examining the influence of
supervision, management, and co-worker social support.
An individual's level of employee satisfaction might be a function of personal characteristics
and the characteristics of the groups to which she or he belongs to. The social context of
work is likely to have a significant impact on a worker's attitude and behavior Relationships
with both co workers and supervisors are important.
Some studies have shown that the better the relationship, between fellow workers and
between workers and their immediate boss, the greater the level of employee satisfaction
(Arne L. Kalleberg and Loscocco, 1983).
8. Opportunity to use ones abilities
Internal rewards involve job characteristics, or the nature of the task that an employee
performs.
Employees generally need and like jobs that make use of their abilities. (National
Commission on the State and Local Public Service, 1993)
9. Working Hours and Physical Conditions
14 | P a g e
Two elements related to employee satisfaction are the working hours and the physical
conditions under which workers spend their working days.
According to Siegel and Lane (1974), the level of importance to some factors is strongly
related to job type.
10. Adequate Authority and Sense of Control
Another important component of employee satisfaction is the worker's attitude toward the
job. The intrinsic rewards of a job, such as a sense of control over one's work and a feeling of
accomplishment are important determinants of employee satisfaction. Employees are more
satisfied when they have adequate freedom and authority to do their jobs and to choose their
own method of working. When workers have various autonomous tasks in their jobs, they
tend to have more of a sense of control. Previous studies have shown that employee
satisfaction is negatively related to the performance of routine tasks, and also that employee
satisfaction is positively related to the performance of more complex and autonomous tasks
(Gary Blau, 1999).

Employee Retention
Employee Satisfaction leads to increased employee retention. Employee Retention involves
taking measures to encourage employees to remain in the organization for the maximum period
of time. Hiring knowledgeable people for the job is essential for an employer. But retention is
even more important than hiring. There is no dearth of opportunities for a talented person. There
are many organizations which are looking for such employees. If a person is not satisfied by the
job hes doing, he may switch over to some other more suitable job. In todays environment it
becomes very important for organizations to retain their employees.
Employee retention is a process in which the employees are encouraged to remain with the
organization for the maximum period of time or until the completion of the project. Employee
retention is beneficial for the organization as well as the employee.
Retention involves three major things:
1. Compensation
It constitutes the largest part of the employee retention process. The employees always have
high expectations regarding their compensation packages. Compensation packages vary from
industry to industry. So an attractive compensation package plays a critical role in retaining the
employees.
2. Growth and Career
Growth and development are the integral part of every individuals career. If an employee can
not foresee his path of career development in his current organization, there are chances that hell
leave the organization as soon as he gets an opportunity.
17 | P a g e
The important factors in employee growth that an employee looks for himself are:
Work profile: The work profile on which the employee is working should be in sync with his
capabilities. The profile should not be too low or too high.
Personal growth and dreams: Employees responsibilities in the organization should help him
achieve his personal goals also. Organizations cannot keep aside the individual goals of
employees and foster organizations goals. Employees priority is to work for themselves and
later on comes the organization. If hes not satisfied with his growth, hell not be able to
contribute in organization growth.
Training and development: Employees should be trained and given chance to improve and
enhance their skills. Many employers fear that if the employees are well rained, theyll leave the
organization for better jobs. Organization should not limit the resources on which organizations
success depends.
3. Support
Lack of support from management can sometimes serve as a reason for employee retention.
Supervisor should support his subordinates in a way so that each one of them is a success.
Management should try to focus on its employees and support them not only in their difficult
times at work but also through the times of personal crisis. Management can support employees
by providing them recognition and appreciation. Employers can also provide valuable feedback
to employees and make them feel valued to the organization.
Importance of Employee Retention
The process of employee retention will benefit an organization in the following ways:
1. The Cost of Turnover: The cost of employee turnover adds hundreds of
thousands of money to a company's expenses. While it is difficult to fully
calculate the cost of turnover (including hiring costs, training costs and
productivity loss), industry experts often quote 25% of the average employee
salary as a conservative estimate.
2. Loss of Company Knowledge: When an employee leaves, he takes with him
valuable knowledge about the company, customers, current projects and past
history (sometimes to competitors). Often much time and money has been spent
18 | P a g e
on the employee in expectation of a future return. When the employee leaves, the
investment is not realized.
3. Interruption of Customer Service: Customers and clients do business with a
company in part because of the people. Relationships are developed that
encourage continued sponsorship of the business. When an employee leaves, the
relationships that employee built for the company are severed, which could lead
to potential customer loss.
4. Turnover leads to more turnovers: When an employee terminates, the effect is
felt throughout the organization. Co-workers are often required to pick up the
slack. The unspoken negativity often intensifies for the remaining staff.
5. Goodwill of the company: The goodwill of a company is maintained when the
attrition rates are low. Higher retention rates motivate potential employees to join
the organization.
6. Regaining efficiency: If an employee resigns, then good amount of time is lost in
hiring a new employee and then training him/her and this goes to the loss of the
company directly which many a times goes unnoticed. And even after this you
cannot assure us of the same efficiency from the new employee.

UNION BANK
Union Bank of India was established on 11th November 1919 with its headquarters in the city of
Bombay now known as Mumbai.
The Head Office building of the Bank in Mumbai was inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi, the
Father of the nation in the year 1921, and he said on the occasion:
"We should have the ability to carry on a big bank, to manage efficiently crore of rupees in the
course of our national activities. Though we have not many banks amongst us, it does not follow
that we are not capable of efficiently managing crore and tens of crore of rupees."
His prescient words anticipated the growth of the bank that has taken place in the decades that
followed. The Bank now operates through over 4000+ branches across the country. The Bank's
core values of prudent management without ignoring opportunities is reflected in the fact that the
Bank has shown uninterrupted profit during all 93 years of its operations.

RECOMMENDATIONS &
SUGGESTIONS
47 | P a g e
The outcome of the study illustrates that BANKING INDUSTRY has an average rating level of
retention where the employees generally retain due to the prevailing environment and supporting
staff. Other important factors includes compensation and benefits given to employess according
to their performance and non- monetary benefits. However the reasons which tends to be the
main factors of employees leaving the organisation are superior- subordinate relations and
working environment. The employees are somewhat satisfied with the culture as for them
personal and professional life affects their intention to stay. It is seen that intention to stay in the
organisation is taken care very seriously by the employers but there is still a scope for
improvement. The following are some of the suggestion and recommendations which enables the
company to enhance its retention ratio.
H.R Department should be more practical and efficient so that the recruitment and
retention become more effective.
The company should follow new traits / trends in the retention process.
More stress should be given to recruit qualification & skills percentage for
scrutinizing the application of prospective candidates so that retention ratio will be
minimal.
As compensation comes out to be the most influential factor for the satisfaction of the
employees, so it becomes important for the industry to offer compensation at par with the
banking industry standards. A fair and equitable salary structure may be designed for this
purpose.

monetary incentives being offered to them. So non monetary incentives can be
given to increase the satisfaction and retention level such as:
Opportunity to learn, develop and Advance as an employee.
Flexible hours
