CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION OF
JOB SATISFACTION
The term Job satisfaction refers to an employees general attitude toward his
job. Job satisfaction is one of the important factors, which has drawn attention of
managers in the organisation as well as academicians.
Job satisfaction is the mental feelings of favorableness, which an individual
has about his job.
1. INDIVIDUAL FACTORS
Individuals have certain expectations from their jobs. If these expectations are
met from the jobs, they feel satisfied.
A. Level of education
Level of education of an individual is a main factor in determining the degree
of job satisfaction. For example, several studies have found negative correction
13
between the level of education, particularly higher level of education, and job
satisfaction.
B. Age
Individuals are experienced in different degree of job satisfaction at different
stages of their life. Job satisfaction is high at the initial stage, gets gradually reduced,
starts rising upto certain stage, and finally dips to a low degree.
C. Other factors
Besides the above two factors, there are other individual factors such as, sex
which affect job satisfaction. If an individual does not have favorable social and
family life, he may not feel happy at the workplace.
2. NATURE OF JOB
A. Occupational 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 sources of satisfaction for the jobholders.
B. 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 three factors provides higher satisfaction.
3. SITUATIONAL VARIABLES
Situational variables related to job satisfaction in organizational context formal and informal.
A. Working conditions
14
15
B. Supervision
The type of supervision affects job satisfaction as in each type of supervision
the degree of importance attached to individual varies. The employee oriented
supervision provides more satisfaction than job-oriented supervision.
C. Equitable rewards
The type of linkage that is provided between job performance and rewards
determines the degree of job satisfaction.

CHAPTER -III
REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
Industrial Relations refer to a dynamic and developing concept, which is not
limited to The complex of relationship between trade unions and management. But
also refers to the general web of relationships normally obtaining between employers
and employees a web much more complex than the simple of Labour- Capital
Conflict.
A number of terms are used to denote the word Industrial Relations such as
Employer-Employee
Relationship.
Labour
Relationship
and
Labour

3. Ventilation
4. Lighting and Noise
5. Work Schedules
6. Cleanliness of the work place
7. Adequate tools and equipment
(Can all affect jobs satisfaction?)
5. Career development
If there is no career development to the workers, then the job performance
may affect career development. It is always for an organization to sustain or increase
its employees current productivity level.
Occupational level
(ii)
Job content
(iii)
Considerate leadership
(iv)
(v)
21
Since job content in terms of variety and nature of tasks called for is a function of
occupational level, the theoretical arguments given above apply here also.
(iii) Considerate Leadership
People like to be treated with consideration. Hence considerate leadership
results in higher job satisfaction than inconsiderate leadership.
(iv) Pay and promotional Opportunities
All other things being equal these two variables are positively related to job
satisfaction. An explanation for this finding lies in both theories discussed above.
(v) Interaction in the work Group
(1)
It results in the cognition that other persons attitudes are similar to ones
own, since this permits the ready calculation of the others behaviour and
constitutes a validation of ones self.
(2)
(3)
2. PERSONAL VARIABLES:
a). Age
Most of the evidence is related between age and job satisfaction, holding such
factors as occupational level constant, same to indicate that there is generally positive
relationship between the two variables up to the preferment years and then there is a
sharp decrease in satisfaction.
b). Educational Level
With occupational level held constant there is a Negative relationship between
the educational level and job satisfaction. The higher the education, the higher the
reference group with the individual looks at for guidance to evaluate his job rewards.
22
3. ROLE PERCEPTION
Different individual hold different perceptions about their role, i.e., the kind of
activities and behaviours they should engage in to perform their job successfully. Job
satisfaction is determined by this factor also.
There is as yet no consistent evidence as to whether women are more satisfied
with their jobs as men, holding such factors as job and occupational level constant.
One might predict this to be the case considering the generally lower occupational
aspiration of women.
