CHAPTER-I

1.1 INTRODUTION

The industrial development in any country depends among other things on a satisfied labour
force. It has often been said that a happy employees is generally, that employee who is satisfied
with his job. Job satisfaction is very important because most of the people spend a major portion
of life at their working place. Moreover, Job satisfaction has its impact on the general life of the
employees also, because a satisfied employee is a contended and a happy human being. A highly
satisfied worker has better physical and mental well being.

Human resource is of paramount importance for the success of any organization. It’s a source of
strength. It is concerned with the human being. Human resource is the total knowledge, abilities,
skills, talents and aptitudes of an organizations work force. The resourceful of various categories
of people and other people available to the organization can be treated as human resource. In the
present complex environment, no business or organization can exist and grow without
appropriate human resource .Human resource is a term used to describe the individuals who
comprise the workforce of an organization, although it is also applied in labour economics to, for
example, business sectors or even whole nations.

Human resource is also the name of the function within an organization charged with the overall
responsibility for implementing strategies and policies relating to the management of individuals
(i.e. the human resources).This function title are often abbreviated to the initials ‘HR’. Human
resources are a relatively modern management term, coined in the 1960s. The origins of the
function arose in organizations that introduced ‘welfare management’ practices and also in those
that adopted the principles of ‘scientific management’. From these terms emerged a largely
administrative management activity, coordinating a range of worker related processes and
becoming known, in time as the ‘personnel function’.

Human Resource Management (HRM) is the strategic and coherent approach to the management
of an organization’s most valued assets-the people working there who individually and
collectively contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the business. The terms “human
resource management” and “human resources” (HR) have largely replaced the term “personnel
management” as a description of the processes involved in managing people in organizations. In
simple words, HRM means employing people, developing their capacities, utilizing, maintaining
and compensating their services in tune with the job and organizational requirement. The Human
Resources Management (HRM) function includes a variety of activities, and key among them is
deciding what staffing needs you have and whether to use independent contractors or hire
employees to fill these needs, recruiting and training the best employees, ensuring that the human
resource function is performed efficiently. This research was conducted to study the employees
