total of inherent abilities, acquired knowledge and skills represented by the talents and
aptitudes of the employed persons who comprises of executives, supervisors and
employees. It may be noted human resource should be utilized to the maximum possible
extent in order to achieve individual and organizational goals. It is thus employee’s
performance which ultimately decides the attainment of goals. Employee satisfaction
however is largely influenced by motivation and satisfaction.

Introduction

Every organization should have personnel policies in order to accomplish the objective of
the personnel as well as organization. Periodic review of personnel policies is essential to
keep in time with the changing times and to avoid managerial stagnation. The personnel
policy should be suitably adjusted to accommodate the latest fad, accepted by many in
the organization[1-6]. Human resources are considered as the most important resources in any
organization because it can function only through people. The success of an organization
depends upon the ability of its human resources. According to L.F. Urwick,” with business
houses are made or broken in the long run by markets or capital, patents or equipments, but
men.” Of all the resources human resources are the only resource which does not depreciate with
the passage of time. In the broad sense resources can be defined as “the knowledge, skills,
creative abilities, talent ,aptitudes obtained in the population.” As an organization human

Null hypothesis:

There is no relationship between the age group and level of job satisfaction.

Alternate hypothesis:

There is a relationship between the age group and level of job satisfaction.

Calculated value = 27.61

Table value = 15.50

Degree of freedom = (c-1) (r-1)

=8

Inference:

The calculated value “27.61” is greater than the table value”15.507” for 8 degree of
freedom and 5% level of significance.
Hence the null hypothesis is rejected. This gives the conclusion that there is a
significant relationship between the age group and level of job satisfaction[25-31].

Findings

The following are the findings on the primary objectives set up for the study.

 Majority of the employees are having job satisfaction and aspire to continue here because
of the environmental and organizational encouragements they are receiving from the
management.
 Another factor that contributes to the job satisfaction element in the organizational goal
i.e. to provide better quality cements for the constructional activities.
 The employees find that the supervision they are subjected to is not as rigid as in any
other public sector organization.
 The industry has started more than twenty years under the control of Government of
Orissa. The level between junior and senior officials is very narrow and thin and as a
result a friendly relationship exists in interaction between different levels of employees.
This contributes to better job satisfaction[32-35].

.
Suggestions

 Majority of the employees are unsatisfied about the existing canteen facilities and quality of
food. Even though the canteen is run by private contractor the management can very well
look into these aspects. Even though there is a canteen inspection committee from the
management /staff side this is not really functioning. Management is requested to look into
this vital part[42-45].
 Almost all the respondents have the opinion that the dust free environment facilities is more
required.
 The respondents suggest that the advanced machines, equipment and the other safety
measures should be improved.
 There is a saying in the corporate world that “if you look after your people they will look
after you- employee’s health care is like a switch in time that saves nine”. The modern
precautionary measures like, hygienic atmosphere, dust removal facilities are needed to
ensure employees health[36-41].

Conclusion

In the present work a study is conducted on the job satisfaction of the employees of ACC
Cements Limited, Bargarh Cement, Cement Nagar. Orissa. The study is done through
questionnaire.
ACC Cements Limited, is a very potential organization which can built up a fleet of employees
who are certainly satisfied in their jobs because of the management’s vision and policies that
promalmagate that the welfare of the society as its main aim of service. The management is
doing its best to ensure the maximum job satisfaction within the framework of its declared
policies. I have noticed that the entire staff are quite happy and satisfied with what the
management offers at present but I feel that if the suggestions I have narrated are also
implemented definitely the job satisfaction level will scale to greater heights and thereby
illumine the image of this institution taking it to the birth of a national level.
Multinational cement companies have successfully entered the Indian Cement Industry over last
few years. The industry is in the phase merger and acquisition. The trend is likely to continue till
four to five players control the entire cement industry in the country.
