This Paper contains the overviews of ENGINEEIRNG INDUSTRY. This also contains the different welfare
provisions to be given to the employees under the Factory Act 1948. This paper contains the research on
employee satisfaction towards welfare facilities under the act. This includes the study of 50 employees from
each of the company i.e. Jyoti CNC, Rajoo Engineering, Steel Cast, Atul auto & Amul industries making a total
sample size of 250 employees. In our study we measured the impact of welfare provisions on employee
satisfaction by way of the correlation technique and we also measured that whether any difference in terms of
employee satisfaction towards welfare provision exists by way of using one way Annova test.
Key Terms:
Worker, Washing Facility, First Aid, Canteen, Crches, Appropriate Government.
1.INTRODUCTION
The Engineering sector is the largest in the overall
industrial sectors in India. It is a diverse industry
with a number of segments, and can be broadly
categorized into two segments, namely, heavy
engineering and light engineering. The engineering
sector is relatively less fragmented at the top, as the
competencies required are high, while it is highly
fragmented at the lower end (e.g. unbranded
transformers for the retail segment) and is
dominated by smaller players.
Gujarat contributes to over 8% of Indias total
engineering output, and is home to several
industrial units with operations across the entire
engineering value chain over 300 units in large
sector and over 75,000 units in Small and medium
enterprises (SME) sector (excluding repair and
services). Major production base for sponge iron,
steel pipes and tubes, copper cathode, electrical,
switchgear, transformer and transmission line
towers, heavy fabrication, ship building and auto
components. 30 out of the 83 product clusters in

various methods and also to identify the
effectiveness of the methods. The study shows that
15% of the employees are highly satisfied with
their welfare measures. 22 % of the employees are
satisfied with their welfare measures.39% of the
employees is average with their welfare measures.
16% of them are in highly dissatisfied level.
Welfare measures plays important role in employee
satisfaction and it results in improved quality of
work life. This study throws light on the impact of
welfare measures on QWL among the employees
of textile mills in Salam district.
B D Singh (Industrial Relations and Labour
Laws)Excel (2008) Edition This legislation is
being enforced by technical officers i.e. Inspectors
of Factories, Dy. Chief Inspectors of Factories who
work under the control of the Chief Inspector of
Factories and overall control of the Labour
Commissioner, Government of National Capital
Territory of Delhi. The Factories Act, is a social
legislation which has been enacted for occupational
safety, health and welfare of workers at work
places. In India the first Factories Act was passed
in 1881. This Act was basically designed to protect
children and to provide few measures for health
and safety of the workers. This law was applicable
to only those factories, which employed 100 or
more workers. On the basis of the
recommendations of the Factory Labour
Commission, more comprehensive Law was
introduced in 1911, which got amended in 1923,
1926 and 1931 With the amendments made by
Royal
Commission
of
Labour
(1931),
Comprehensive Factory Act, 1934 was introduced.
Shobha Mishra and Dr Manju Bhagat (2007) in
their article discuss labour welfare activities in an
industrialized society has far reaching impact not
only on the work force but also all the facets of
human resources. Labour welfare includes all such
activities, which not only secures existential
necessities but also ensures improvement in
spiritual and emotional quotient. It comprises of
short term and long terms goal toward building a
humane society. As labour welfare is a dynamic
concept, changes in its principles activities and the
rationale supporting them have not been static.
They closely follow the stages of advancement of
the industrialized society from police Theory to
Functional Theory. Accordingly principles for
successful implementation of labour welfare
activities ranges from adequacy of wages to impact
on efficiency as well as transformation of
personality in nut shell, it is extension of
democratic values in an industrialized society.

3.RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 RESEARCH PROBLEM Welfare provisions
of Factories Act 1948 are important as far as the
nature of the work in the engineering industries is
concerned. It may happen that the employees
working in the engineering industry are not
satisfied with the welfare provisions provided
under Factories Act 1948. So our study will aim
at studying the satisfaction level of the
employees.
3.2 OBJECTIVES OF RESEARCH
1. To review the welfare provisions extended to the
employees in Jyoti CNC, Rajoo engineering, steel
cast, Atul Auto & Amul industries.
2. To identify whether any relation exists between
welfare provisions & Employee satisfaction.
3.3 HYPOTHESIS
Hypothesis for studying the relationship
existence between welfare provisions &
Employee satisfaction.
Null Hypothesis (Ho): The welfare provision &
employee satisfaction are corelated. Alternate
Hypothesis (Ha): The welfare provisions &
employee satisfaction are unrelated. This

hypothesis is tested by considering each & every
welfare provisions individually.
Hypothesis for comparing satisfaction level
among all five companies due to welfare
provisions extended to employees.
Null Hypothesis (Ho): There is no significance
difference in employee satisfaction among five
companies. Alternate Hypothesis (Ha): There is
significance difference in employee satisfaction
among five companies. This hypothesis is tested by
considering each & every welfare provisions
individually.
3.4 RESEARCH DESIGN
For research we select the entire Engineering
industry of Saurashtra region as population of our
study and select five engineering companies i.e.
Jyoti CNC, Rajoo Engineering, Steel Cast, Atul
Auto & Amul industries by judgmental sampling.

6. IMPLICATION OF STUDY
This study can be implied in any of the industry as
a tool for identifying the employee tendency &
belief towards the welfare provisions. One can
know the requirement of the workers in terms of
different non financial motivational tools by
implying this study. This study can be useful for
identifying the factors which leads to employee
satisfaction so that company can use those factors
as retention tool for retaining employees in the
organization.
7. LIMITATION OF STUDY
1. Few of the respondents hesitated to give the
correct information.
2. Few respondents hesitated to give opinion
against their management.
3. The period of the study was limited.
4. The validity of the study depends up on the
reliability of the primary data.
5. Due to the size of the organizations in the
Saurashtra region put curse on some welfare
provisions to be implemented which leads to
inconsideration in our study i.e. Having less than
30 no. of women employees leads to deduction of
the organization from following the provision of
giving Creches facility to women employees.
10. CONCLUSION
Our research study conclude in terms of proving
that the different welfare provisions provided to the
employees working in an organization under
Factories Act 1948 are having positive relation
with the employee satisfaction. In our study after
analyzing the Correlation between these two
factors gives the result. The reason behind this
result is that these are the factors that lead to
satisfaction & if they are not present can sometimes
lead to dissatisfaction i.e. on basis of Herzbergs
theory of motivation.
Study also gives the outcome on basis of the One
Way Annova test that the welfare provisions given
to employees in five companies i.e. Jyoti CNC,
Rajoo Engineering, Steel Cast, Atul auto & Amul
Industries dose not have significant difference in
the employee satisfaction level.
The reason behind the acceptance of hypothesis &
getting the above result is that the companies under
our study follows or provides more or less same
kind of the welfare provisions to their employees.
The companies who are giving the provisions to
their employees vary slightly. E.g. in canteen
provision variation is in terms of the rate at which
they provide food, the quality of food, test etc. In
the same manner the shelter, restroom &
lunchroom facility vary in terms of the location, its
ambiance etc.
