INTRODUCATION Job satisfaction describes has content on individual in with his or job. The happier people are within this job, the more satisfied they are said to be job satisfaction in not the same on motivation although it is only clearly linked. Job design aims to enhance job satisfaction & performance methods include the job rotation job employment and job enrichment. Other influences on job satisfaction include the management style and attune employs involvement empowerment and autonomous work groups job satisfaction is a very impenitent attribute which is Frequently measured by the origination. The most common way of measurement is the use of rating scales were employees report their reactions to their job question relate to rate of pay work responsibilities, variety of tasks promotional opportunities the date itself and co-workers some questions are yes or no questions while others are to rate satisfaction on 1-5 seale (where 1 represents not at all satisfied and 5 represents extremely satisfied) In each country the participating work place included both private and state owned organization retail and manufacturing organization & small and large scale organization. To facilitate souses full completion of the project organization responsible for Security either at the local or national level were not included in the study. Altogether more than 5,800 employees participated in the survey project Table 1 submerges the basic characteristics of the participating employees by country

Definitions
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. Weiss (2002) has argued that job satisfaction is an attitude but points out that researchers should clearly distinguish the objects of cognitive evaluation which are affect (emotion), beliefs and behaviors. This

Birds MSW college Tukkanatti

definition suggests that we form attitudes towards our jobs by taking into account our feelings, our beliefs, and our behaviors.

Scope Of the Problem


Executive Briefing:
The objective here is to report job satisfaction results from an employee survey conducted between 2005 and 2007 in four formerly socialist economies: Russia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, with a focus on gender and generational differences in response patterns. Personal contacts, the currency used to achieve objectives in formerly socialist economies, dictated the survey locations. Foreign scholars, part of a mentoring program that involved training in survey research, became the local project coordinators; so by default, the project locations included: Ufa, Russia; Yerevan, Armenia; Almaty and Taldyquorgan, Kazakhstan; and Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. While a single location cannot possibly capture the population or workforce diversity in the country, for convenience, I refer to country name when discussing results.

History
One of the biggest preludes to the study of job satisfaction was the Hawthorne studies. These studies (1924-1933), 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. Scientific management (aka Taylorism) also had a significant impact on the study of job satisfaction. Frederick Winslow Taylors 1911 book, Principles of Scientific Management, argued that there was a single best way to perform any given work task. This book contributed to a change in industrial production philosophies, causing a shift from skilled labor and piecework towards the more modern approach of assembly lines and hourly wages. The initial use of scientific management by industries greatly increased productivity because workers were forced to work at a faster pace. However, workers became exhausted and dissatisfied, thus leaving researchers with new questions to answer regarding job satisfaction. It should also be noted that the work of W.L. Bryan, Walter Dill Scott, and Hugo Munsterberg set the tone for Taylors work. Some argue that Maslows hierarchy of needs theory, a motivation theory, laid the foundation for job satisfaction theory. This theory explains that people seek to satisfy five specific needs in life physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, self-esteem needs, and self-actualization. This model served as a good basis from which early researchers could develop job satisfaction theories

Models of job Satisfaction


Affect Theory Edwin A. Lockes Range of Affect Theory (1976) is arguably the most famous job satisfaction model. The main premise of this theory is that satisfaction is determined by a discrepancy between what one wants in a job and what one has in a job. Further, the theory states that how much one values a given facet of work (e.g. the degree of autonomy in a position) moderates how satisfied/dissatisfied one becomes when expectations are/arent met. When a person values a particular facet of a job, his satisfaction is more greatly impacted both positively (when expectations are met) and negatively (when expectations are not met), compared to one who doesnt value that facet. To illustrate, if Employee A values autonomy in the workplace and Employee B is indifferent about autonomy, then Employee A would be more satisfied in a position that offers a high degree of autonomy and less satisfied in a position with little or no autonomy compared to Employee B. This theory also states that too much of a particular facet will produce stronger feelings of dissatisfaction the more a worker values that facet. Dispositional Theory Another well-known job satisfaction theory is the Dispositional Theory It is a very general theory that suggests that people have innate dispositions that cause them to have tendencies toward a certain level of satisfaction, regardless of ones job. This approach became a notable explanation of job satisfaction in light of evidence that job satisfaction tends to be stable over time and across careers and jobs. Research also indicates that identical twins have similar levels of job satisfaction. A significant model that narrowed the scope of the Dispositional Theory was the Core Selfevaluations Model, proposed by Timothy A. Judge in 1998. Judge argued that there are four Core Self-evaluations that determine ones disposition towards job satisfaction: self-esteem, general self-efficacy, locus of control, and neuroticism. This model states that higher levels of selfesteem (the value one places on his/her self) and general self-efficacy (the belief in ones own competence) lead to higher work satisfaction. Having an internal locus of control (believing one

11

has control over her\his own life, as opposed to outside forces having control) leads to higher job satisfaction. Finally, lower levels of neuroticism lead to higher job satisfaction
Measuring 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 is typically collected using an Enterprise Feedback Management (EFM) system. The Job Descriptive Index (JDI), created by Smith, Kendall, & Hulin (1969), is a specific questionnaire of job satisfaction that has been widely used. It measures ones satisfaction in five facets: pay, promotions and promotion opportunities, coworkers, supervision, and the work itself. The scale is simple, participants answer either yes, no, or cant decide (indicated by ?) in response to whether given statements accurately describe ones job. The Job in General Index is an overall measurement of job satisfaction. It is an improvement to the Job Descriptive Index because the JDI focuses too much on individual facets and not enough on work satisfaction in general. Other job satisfaction questionnaires include: the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS), and the Faces Scale. The MSQ measures job satisfaction in 20 facets and has a long form with 100 questions (five items from each facet) and a short form with 20 questions (one item from each facet). The JSS is a 36 item questionnaire that measures nine facets of job satisfaction. Finally, the Faces Scale of job satisfaction, one of the first scales used widely, measured overall job satisfaction with just one item which participants respond to by choosing a face.

RESULTS
Occupational stress: The results obtained above show significant decreases in the mean stress score could be seen from young adult group to late middle age. The t values obtained in the table 1 show significant difference between young adults (25-35 yrs.) and those in early middle age (36-45 yrs.) and late middle age (46-60 yrs.). Young adults were The issue of job satisfaction, what it is and why it is important, brings with it a great deal of research and opinion accompanied by a vast store of written material. However , the topic j ob satisfaction lacks clarity and is sometimes controversial. The term job satisfaction is understood to mean everything from making all aspects of a job easy for employees to making the job meaningful, significant and challenging. Research on the importance of job satisfaction can be equally confusing with some research clearly indicating no correlation between job satisfaction and job effectiveness while other research indicates there is a definite connection between the two. The likely reason for this confusion, beyond a lack of understanding on the topic, is that all factors associated with job satisfaction are not understood, agreed upon, measured or correlated. Moreover, all the factors contributing to employee motivation and effectiveness are not captured in any one of the single ambiguous concepts of job satisfaction. Thus, much of the qualitative research has not been verified by qualitative data. Research conducted by Schleicher, Watt and Greguras (2004) indicates that individuals with identical responses to questions on job satisfaction often possess entirely different behaviors relating to job performance. Additionally, differing factors relating to job satisfaction hold varying degrees of importance to individuals. Thus, a proven model showing the relationship between job satisfaction and performance has been elusive despite the vast quantity of qualitative data supporting the relationship. These issues are very complex and have simply not been fully deciphered by researchers.

Dispositional Theory Some of the theories relating to job satisfaction may further illustrate the complexity of the issue and help the understanding of how management may positively affect job performance through job satisfaction. The first theory is the dispositional theory. The idea that people who are happy in life are happy in their job is called the dispositional theory and there is significant research to support this idea. Heller(2002) connects three behavioral theories to aid in the

Birds MSW college Tukkanatti

Job satisfaction among foundries worker

13

understanding of the dispositional theory. These three theories include research on positive affectivity and negative affectivity, the big five personality attributes and core self evaluations. Positive affectivity is a personality characteristic described as high energy, enthusiastic and pleasurable engagement while negative affectivity is a personality type characterized as distressed, unpleasurable engagement and nervousness (Heller, 2002). Research has shown that people with positive affectivity are happier in their work and happier in life than those with negative affectivity. The big five personality attributes introduced by Goldberg (1990) have a near consensus agreement from behavioral experts as the comprehensive personality taxonomy. According to Heller (2002) these five traits include: extraversion (or surgency), neuroticism (or emotionalist ability ) , a g r e e a b l e n e s s , conscientiousness, and openness (or culture). Research has shown a strong correlation between these five factors and job satisfaction. The third facet of dispositional theory, core self evaluation theory, developed by Judge, Locke, and Durham (1997) is gaining acceptance as a model for determining job satisfaction and job performance. Core self evaluation theory has four facets i n c l u d i n g : s e l f - e s t e e m , generalized self-efficacy, locus of control, and emotional stability (low neuroticism). This theory again links personality attributes and practices with motivation, job satisfaction and job performance. All three dispositional theories recognize the connection between job satisfaction, motivation and performance but focus on the attributes of the person entirely. Thus, the dispositional theory suggests that some people will be satisfied, motivated and high performing at work regardless of how poorly managed while other people will not be happy no matter how great an organization. However, the data indicates that despite the correlation, personality can only explain less than half of the level of job satisfaction. This tells us that there are likely some elements within organizational control which can affect employee job satisfaction. Hygiene Theory Fredrick Hertzberg developed the hygiene theory on job satisfaction and employee motivation which can tie the principles of the disposition theory together with the influence management has on job satisfaction, performance and motivation. According to Herzberg (1974) there are two factors relating to satisfaction and motivation in the workplace; satisfiers and dissatisfies. Satisfiers relate to the content of the work such as achievement, recognition for achievement,

Birds MSW college Tukkanatti

Job satisfaction among foundries worker

14

interesting work, increased responsibility, growth, and advancement. Herzberg (1974, p18). Dissatisfies are related to how employees are treated and include such items as company policy and administration practices , supervision , interpersonal relationships, working conditions, salary, status, and security. Herzberg (1974, p18). If we combine this theory with the

disposition theory we can more clearly see a model for job satisfaction in which some satisfaction or dissatisfaction is inherent in the nature of each individual worker, some satisfaction comes from the content of the work and some dissatisfaction comes from the way they are treated. Managers have some influence on the level of satisfaction by fostering achievement, recognizing achievement, making the work interesting, giving employees responsibility and providing for opportunities for growth and advancement. More importantly, m angers can create dissatisfaction with inequitable pay, poor company personal policies, working conditions or job security. The importance of each of these job dissatisfies relates to the frequency it occurs and the intensity of the shortfall. In other words a policy that treats employees poorly every day is a bigger dissatisfies than a policy which treats them poorly only once per month. Moreover, the severity of the dissatisfies affects the importance of that dissatisfies. Therefore, if pay is at such a level that people cannot meet their basic needs, then pay would overshadow all other dissatisfies
and eclipse job satisfiers. How do you improve on job

satisfaction? Now that you may

have a feel for the complexity of the issue you may better understand how improving job satisfaction in your organization can be an illusive goal. The first step in improving job satisfaction might be to hire people who are satisfied with their life. This step should be fairly easy if you are hiring Christians who are putting Christ at the center of their lives. One school superintendent who led a school certified as a Best Christian Workplace told his staff that he wanted people who wanted to work at the school, liked the kids and were happy with the work. If they were not happy then they owed it to themselves to move on and find a job where they were happy. This might not have been the singular policy making this school a great place to work, but the job satisfaction theories certainly support the idea that this policy would have a significant impact on the overall positive culture of the workplace. Of course there is more management must do to make a great workplace. Management must minimize dissatisfies and maximize satisfiers. Although there is not a single instrument developed to measure and guide management in creating a satisfied workforce, the Best Christian Workplace survey

Birds MSW college Tukkanatti

Job satisfaction among foundries worker

provides some excellent insights. Taking a look at the survey instrument, we see there are several questions in the survey which are lagging indicators of job satisfaction. These lagging

indicators include:
1) I would rate my organization as an exceptional place to work. 2 All in all, I am satisfied with my job. 3 In general, I like working for this organization

Impact of the Problem


Research indicates that employees who are satisfied with their jobs are more likely to stay with their employers. According to this survey, 86% of employees indicated overall satisfaction with their current position, with 41% of employees reporting they were very satisfied. Whats more, majority of employees (58%) reported that the current economic climate has not made any difference in their level of satisfaction and this is good news for employers, especially during the economically challenging time. It is not surprising that during the current economic downturn, which some have compared to the 1929 Great Depression, employees selected job security for the second consecutive year as the most important aspect of their job satisfaction. It was also at the top of HR professionals list this year for the first time. Benefits, compensation/pay, opportunities to use skills and abilities and feeling safe in the work environment rounded off employees top five very important job satisfaction contributors nearly identical to the top five of 2008. Factors that were not strongly connected to employees overall job satisfaction were organizations commitment to a green workplace, networking, career development opportunities, paid training and tuition reimbursement programs, and organizations commitment to
professional development.

Other noteworthy findings include the following: Employees whose organizations had been somewhat affected by the current financial crisis were more satisfied overall with their current jobs compared with employees whose organizations had been greatly affected by the recession. Nearly three out of 10 employees were very satisfied with their compensation pay.

The most common methods companies used to measure and monitor employee job satisfaction were exit interviews, feedback from employees performance reviews, speaking with employees on an individual basis, tracking turnover data and conducting employee attitude surveys. What Do These Findings Mean for Employers? Conduct Environmental Scanning:

Birds MSW college Tukkanatti

Job satisfaction among foundries worker

23

The external forces or trends that affect the organization is an integral part of the organizations strategic plan. Through a process called environmental scanning, organizations systematically gather and analyze all relevant data about external opportunities and threats that may affect them at present and in the future. Examples of external forces include changing demographics, economic conditions, emerging marketplaces, advances in technology and increased global competition. Organizations can then use these data to evaluate their mission/vision, develop goals and develop/train employees.

Review of Similar Research


Job satisfaction influences a firms bottom line understanding factors contributing to job satisfaction improves firm performance. Studies conducted in developed market economies and formerly socialist economies show that the majority of workers report themselves satisfied with their job. Many factors contributing to job satisfaction are the same across countries, and quite surprisingly do not hinge solely on pay or hours of work. Numerous job attributes, worker characteristics and workplace environment contribute to job satisfaction. Expectations of receiving a desired reward are clearly important. While additional pay might not be an option, understanding that job security or the opportunity to learn new skills or the friendliness and respect of co-workers is important does illuminate ways that workplace conditions and policies might be configured to enhance job satisfaction. Sources of managerial stress have been well documented since the late 1970s. Ivancevich and Matteson (1980) identified four categories of work stressors: physical environment, individual level (amixer of role and career development variables), group level (primarily relationship-based) and organizational level (a mixture of climate, structure, job design and task characteristic) Schuler (1982) also identifies seven categories of work stressors in organizations: job qualities, relationships, organizational structure, physical qualities, career development, change and role in the organization. Quick and Quick (1984) proposed four categories of stressors: task demands, physical demands and interpersonal demands. Stress is involved in an environmental situation that perceived as presenting demand which threatens to exceed the persons capabilities and resources for meeting it, under conditions where he or she expects a substantial differential in the rewards and costs from meeting the demand versus not meeting it (Mc Grath, 1976). From the documented evidence, it is clear that

as far as work life is concerned extreme stress is so aversive to employees that they will try to avoid it by withdrawing either psychologically (through disinterest or lack of involvement in the job etc.) Physically (frequent late coming, absenteeism, lethargy etc.) or by leaving the job entirely (Beehr and Newman, 1978). It predisposes the individual to develop several psychosomatic illness, in contrast, the absence of extreme stress would result in more satisfied, happy, healthy and effective employees. However, the stress one experiences in the job vary from mild to severe depending ones physiological, psychological and social make up (French and Caplan, 1970, Margolis et al., 1974., Miller 1960 and Wardwell et al., 1964). Stressors at the individual level have been studied more than any other category. Role conflicts, role ambiguity, role overload and under load, is widely examined individual stressors (Mc Grath 1976; Newton and Keenan, 1987). It is also reported by many researchers that the low job satisfaction was associated with high stress (Hollingworth et al., Abdul Halim, 1981; Keller et al., 1975; Leigh et al, 1988). Age can be explained in the terms, that the individuals matured personality disposition related to the attainment of developmental tasks specific to each developmental tasks specific to; each developmental phase and its influence on individuals perception of the situations as stressful or otherwise. Several researchers reported that in industrial setting job satisfaction and job involvement increases with age and as a result occupational stress would decreases (Cherrington, 1979) in view of dearth of conclusive studies about whether the same this is true with the teachers at different age levels in India, the present study was conducted.

The more common usage within corporations and businesses refers to the individuals within the firm, and to the portion of the firm's organization that deals with hiring, firing, training, and other personnel issues.

The objective of Human Resources is to maximize the return on investment from the organization's human capital and minimize financial risk. It is the responsibility of human resource managers to conduct these activities in an effective, legal, fair, and consistent manner.

Marketing is influenced by many of the social sciences, particularly psychology, sociology, and economics. Anthropology is also a small, but growing influence. Market research underpins these activities. Through advertising, it is also related to many of the creative arts.
