RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research design
2
A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis
of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy
in procedure. The research design used in my study is basically descriptive in nature.
Types of Research
Exploratory research
Descriptive research
Causal research
Applied research
Basic research
Exploratory research
Exploratory studies are conducted to clarify the ambiguous problems.
Ambiguity means that the nature of problem to be solved is unclear.
Descriptive research
The research design in my study is descriptive. Its studies are concern with describing
the characteristics of a particular group or individual. Studies concerned with specific
prediction with narration of facts and characteristics concerning individual, group or
situations are examples of descriptive research .it is also known as social research.
Causal research
The mean purpose of causal research is to identify the cause and effect
relationship between variables.
Applied research
Applied research is conducted when a decision is to be made about a
specific real-like problem.
Basic research
3
Basic or pure research (fundamental research) attempts to expand the limits of
knowledge.
Sample design
A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population.
It refers to the technique or the procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting items
for the sample i.e. the size of the sample. Stratified sample method is adopted to select
the sample.
Sample size
It includes the number of sampling unit selected from the population for
investigation. The sample size must be optimum or adequate. If the sample size is small
it may not appropriately represent the population.
Too large sample would be costly in terms of money &time. The optimum sampling size
would fulfill the requirements of efficiency, representativeness, reliability, and flexibility.
The sample size is taken of 100 customers. It is because of the shortage of time & their
busy schedule.
Data collection is an art. Sometime it is very time consuming affair. The source
information falls under two categories:
Primary Data
Secondary Data
Primary data
We collect primary data either through observation or through direct communication with
respondents in one form or other personal interviews.
Observation method
Interview method

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

THEORITICAL ASPECTS OF JOB SATISFACTION
Limelight on job satisfaction was brought by Hop pock in 1935. He reviewed 32 studies
on job satisfaction. Prior of 1933 the job satisfaction is combination of psychological,
physiological and environmental circumstances that course to say truthfully that I am
satisfied with my job.
The success of any organization depends on the effective utilization and motivation of
human resources.
Job satisfaction is derived from the Latin words Satis and facere, which means
enough and to do respectively. Job satisfaction refers to an employees general attitude
towards his job
Situational Factor.
Individual Characteristics.
Job satisfaction is the ultimate function of all these and many individual attitudes put
together. Many thinkers consider it a collective force and not an unitary phenomenon.
Every individual has some needs and desires that need to be fulfilled. Any job, which
fulfils these needs, provides satisfaction. Satisfaction is ones contentment job that
induces motivation and interest in work, which creates pleasure or happiness from job.
8
Hence satisfaction plays a vital role in every aspect of individuals life, without
satisfaction in life it becomes very difficult to survive.
MEANING
The term job satisfaction refers to an employees general attitude towards his job.
Job satisfaction is the favorableness or un-favorableness with which employees view
their work.
In order to understand job satisfaction, perhaps the first step should be to demarcate the
boundaries among such terms as attitudes motivation and morale.
A job is an important part of life. Job satisfaction influences ones general life
satisfaction.
The result is that satisfaction arises from a complex set of circumstances in the same way
the motivation does.
OBJECTIVES
THEORIES
There are vital differences among experts about the concept of job satisfaction. Basically,
there are four approaches/ theories of job satisfaction.
They are:
1) Fulfillment theory
2) Discrepancy theory
3) Equity theory
4) Two-factor theory
9
(1) Fulfillment theory
The main aim of this theory is to measure satisfaction in terms of rewards a person
receives or the extent to which his needs are satisfied. Job satisfaction cannot be regarded
merely as a function of how much a person receives from his job but it is the strength of
the individuals desire of his level of aspiration in a particular area.
The main difficulty in his approach as observed by willing is that job satisfaction is not
only a function of what a person receives but also what he feels he should receive, as
there would be considerable difference in the actual and expectations of persons.
The proponents of this theory is that satisfaction is the function of what a person actually
receives from his job satisfaction and what he thanks receives or expects to receive.
This approach does not make it clear whether or not over satisfaction is a part of
dissatisfaction and if so, how it differs from dissatisfaction.
The proponents of this theory are of the view that a persons satisfaction determined by
his perceived equity which in from is determined by his input-output balance when
compared to others input-output balance. Input-output balance is the perceived ratio of
what a person received from his job relative to what he contributes to the job.
This theory was developed by Herzberg, Manusner, Paterson and Capwell who identified
certain factors as satisfiers and dissatisfies.
Factors such as achievement, recognition responsibility etc., are satisfiers, the presence
of which causes satisfaction but their absence does not result in dissatisfaction on the
other hand the factors such as supervision salary, working conditions etc are dis-satisfiers
the absence of which cause dissatisfaction however their presence does not result in job
10
satisfaction. This theory is considered invalid as a person can get both satisfaction and
dissatisfaction at the same time.
While analyzing the various determinants of job satisfaction, we have to keep in mind that: all
individuals do no derive the same degree of satisfaction though they perform the same job in the
same job environment and at the same time. Therefore, it appears that besides the nature of job
and job environment, there are individual variables which affect job satisfaction.
Individual factors
Individuals have certain expectations from their jobs. If their expectations are met from the jobs,
they feel satisfied. These expectations are based on an individuals level of education, age and
other factors.
Level of education
Level of education of an individual is a factor which determines the degree of job satisfaction.
For example, several studies have found negative correlation between the level of education,
particularly higher level of education, and job satisfaction. The possible reason for this
phenomenon may be that highly educated persons have very high expectations from their jobs
which remain unsatisfied. In their case, Peters principle which suggests that every individual
tries to reach his level of incompetence, applies more quickly.
Age
Individuals experience different degree of job satisfaction at different stages of their life. Job
satisfaction is high at the initial stage, gets gradually reduced, starts rising up to certain stage,
and finally dips to a low degree. The possible reasons for this phenomenon are like this. When
individuals join an organization, they may have some unrealistic assumptions about what they
are going to drive from their work. These assumptions make them more satisfied. However,
when these assumptions fall short of reality, job satisfaction goes down. It starts rising again as
11
the people start to assess the jobs in right perspective and correct their assumptions. At the last,
particularly at the fag end of the career, job satisfaction goes down because of fear of retirement
and future outcome.
Other factors
Besides the above two factors, there are other individual factors which affect job satisfaction. If
an individual does not have favorable social and family life, he may not feel happy at the
workplace. Similarly, other personal problems associated with him may affect his level of job
satisfaction. Personal problems associated with him may affect his level of job satisfaction.
Nature of job
Nature of job determines job satisfaction which is in the form of occupation level and job
content.
Occupation level
Higher level jobs provide more satisfaction as compared to lower levels. This happens because
high level jobs carry prestige and status in the society which itself becomes source of satisfaction
for the job holders.
For example, professionals derive more satisfaction as compared to salaried people: factory
workers are least satisfied.
Job content
Job content refers to the intrinsic value of the job which depends on the requirement of skills for
performing it, and the degree of responsibility and growth it offers. A higher content of these
factors provides higher satisfaction. For example, a routine and repetitive lesser satisfaction; the
degree of satisfaction progressively increases in job rotation, job enlargement, and job
enrichment.
SITUATIONAL VARIABLES
12
Situational variables related to job satisfaction lie in organizational context formal and
informal. Formal organization emerges out of the interaction of individuals in the organization.
Some of the important factors which affect job important factors which affect job satisfaction are
given below:
Working conditions
Working conditions, particularly physical work environment, like conditions of workplace and
associated facilities for performing the job determine job satisfaction. These work in two ways.
First, these provide means job performance. Second, provision of these conditions affects the
individuals perception about the organization. If these factors are favourable, individuals
experience higher level of job satisfaction.
Supervision
The type of supervision affects job satisfaction as in each type of supervision; the degree of
importance attached to individuals varies. In employee-oriented supervision, there is more
concern for people which is perceived favourably by them and provides them more satisfaction.
In job oriented supervision, there is more emphasis on the performance of the job and people
become secondary. This situation decreases job satisfaction.
Equitable rewards
The type of linkage that is provided between job performance and rewards determines the degree
of job satisfaction. If the reward is perceived to be based on the job performance and equitable, it
offers higher satisfaction. If the reward is perceived to be based on considerations other than the
job performance, it affects job satisfaction adversely.
13
Purpose / Objective of the post
Key relationships
Job satisfaction is a complex concept and difficult to measure objectively. The level of job
satisfaction is affected by a wide range of variables relating to individual, social, cultural,
organizational factors as stated below:
DIMENSIONS
Individual: Personality, education, intelligence and abilities, age, marital status, orientation to
work.
Social factors: Relationship with co-workers, group working and norms, opportunities for
interaction, informal relations etc.
Organizational factors: Nature and size, formal structure, personnel policies and procedures,
industrial relation, nature of work, technology and work organization, supervision and styles of
leadership, management systems, working conditions.
14
IMPORTANCE TO STUDY JOB SATISFACTION
The importance to the study of job satisfaction level is very important for executives. Job
satisfaction study importance can be understood by the answer of the following question
Is there room for improvement?
Who is relatively more dissatisfied?
What contributes to the employee satisfaction?
What are the effects of negative employee attitudes?

CHAPTER-5
RECOMMENDATIONS
AND
CONCLUSIONS
42
RECOMMENDATIONS
I observed from my study that work load on workers of department like packaging
shipping very much. This is very much hard to complete the task which is not good
for their health. So my suggestion that work is to be desired.
Meeting and conference plays an important part to make Job Satisfaction more. I
observed that there are minimum meeting between the workers and management in
the company. So my suggestion is that there must time to time meeting them by
which workers will be able to tell about their disqualifies
43
CONCLUSIONS
90% employees said that incentives & other benefits influence their
performance.
