CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

St. Thomas’ college (Autonomous) 11 Department Of Commerce


A Study Of Employees Satisfaction With Special Reference To Ebenezer Printpack (P) Ltd,

1.1 INTRODUCTION
Human resource is considered to be the most valuable asset in any
organization. It is the sum-total of inherent abilities, acquired knowledge and
skills represented by the talents and aptitudes of the employed persons who
comprise executives, supervisors and the rank and file employees. It may be noted
here that human resource should be utilized to the maximum possible extent, in order
to achieve individual and organizational goals. It is thus the employee’s
performance, which ultimately decides, and attainment of goals.

Employee satisfaction is the terminology used to describe whether employees are


happy and contented and fulfilling their desires and needs at work. Many measures
purport that employee satisfaction is a factor in employee motivation, employee goal
achievement, and positive employee morale in the workplace.

Employee satisfaction, while generally a positive in your organization, can also


be a downer if mediocre employees stay because they are satisfied with your work
environment.

The term relates to the total relationship between an individual and the employer for
which he is paid. Satisfaction does mean the simple feeling state accompanying the
attainment of any goal; the end state is feeling accompanying the attainment by an
impulse of its objective.

This project report mainly focused on a study on employee’s satisfaction on Ebenezer


Printpack (P) Ltd, Thrissur. Employee satisfaction is an important factor which will
influence the growth and profitability of the firm. Employee satisfaction is
terminology used to describe whether employees fulfilling their desire and need at
work many measures purport that employee motivation, employees goal achievement
and positive employee morale in the work place.

Job satisfaction survey can give the most valuable information the perceptions and
causes. For satisfaction/dissatisfaction among the employees attitude towards job
satisfaction may be either positive or negative. This positive feeling can be re-in

St. Thomas’ college (Autonomous) 12 Department Of Commerce


A Study Of Employees Satisfaction With Special Reference To Ebenezer Printpack (P) Ltd,

forced and negative feelings can be rectified. This survey can be treated as the most
effective and efficient way, which makes the workers to express their inner and real
feelings undoubtedly.

For any future course of action or development, which involves employee’s


participation, is considered. The management will get a picture their employee’s
acceptance and readiness. This survey also enables to avoid misinterpretations and
helps management in solving problems effectively. It is observed during study some
of the employees accepted the proposal survey research.

A perfectly contentment and satisfaction motivates an employees to be confident with


a high morale, it is an asset to organization as a whole. Thus the high motivation and
morale of an employee make him to remain in the organization and encourage him to
face cut throat competition and gives him enough dynamism to face challenges.

Every human being possess him own unique resource, if properly channels it by
supportive and supplement, ultimately for achieving organization goals.
As proper breathing and diet is necessary to healthy human being so as is
contentment to the job satisfaction. This contentedness ultimately acts as a key factor
to human resource development.

Everyone from managers, retention agents to HR need to get a handle on employee


loyalty and satisfaction – how committed is the workforce to the organization and if
workers are really contented with the way of things for gauging their likelihood to
stay with the company. One of the main aspects of Human Resource Management is
the measurement of employee satisfaction. Companies have to make sure that
employee satisfaction is high among the workers, which is a precondition for
increasing productivity, responsiveness, and quality and customer service. The litmus
test is to study turnover and average length of service. If turnover is on the rise,
loyalty levels are low and vice-versa.

Comparing them to industry averages gives good idea of attrition probabilities. Staff
attendance, compliance with policies and confidence in leadership are other indirect

indicators of allegiance while excessive theft and sabotage spell obvious lack of
commitment.

The term Job Satisfaction was brought to limelight by Hoppock (1935). He reviewed
32 studies on job satisfaction conducted prior to 1933 & observed that job satisfaction
is a combination of psychological, physiological and environmental circumstances
that cause a person to say. ‘I am satisfied with my job’. Locke defines job satisfaction
as a “pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job
or job experiences”. To the extent that a person’s job fulfils his dominant need & is
consistent with his expectations & values, the job will be satisfying.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM


It is said that satisfied employee is a productive employee, any kind of grievance
relating to organizational or personal to a greater extend influence on the job. So
every organization is giving higher priority to keep their employees with the
satisfaction by providing several facilities which improves satisfaction and which
reduces dissatisfaction. Job satisfaction is considered as a key issue by the
entrepreneur where efforts are taken and programs are initiated. If an employee is not
satisfied with the job there are chances for absenteeism, job turnover, lower
productivity, committing of mistakes, diverting energy for different types of conflicts
keeping this thing in view all organizations are trying to identify the areas where
satisfaction to be improved to get out of the above dangers.

INDUSTRY AND COMPANY PROFILE

2.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE


Offset printing is a commonly used printing technique in which the inked image is
transferred (or "offset") from a plate to a rubber blanket, then to the printing surface.
When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the
repulsion of oil and water, the offset technique employs a flat (Plano graphic) image
carrier on which the image to be printed obtains ink from ink rollers, while the non-
printing area attracts a water-based film (called "fountain solution"), keeping the non-
printing areas ink-free. The modern "web" process feeds a large reel of paper through
a large press machine in several parts, typically for several meters, which then prints
continuously as the paper is fed through.

Development of the offset press came in two versions: in 1875 by Robert


Barclay of England for printing on tin, and in 1904 by Ira Washington Rubel of
the United States for printing on paper.

2.1.1 HISTORY
Lithography was initially created to be an inexpensive method of reproducing
artwork. This printing process was limited to use on flat, porous surfaces because the
printing plates were produced from limestone. In fact, the word "lithograph"
historically means "an image from stone" or "printed from stone". Tin cans were
popular packaging materials in the 19th century, but transfer technologies were
required before the lithographic process could be used to print on the tin.

The first rotary offset lithographic printing press was created in England and patented
in 1875 by Robert Barclay. This development combined mid-19th century transfer
printing technologies and Richard March Hoe's 1843 rotary printing press—a press
that used a metal cylinder instead of a flat stone. The offset cylinder was covered with
specially treated cardboard that transferred the printed image from the stone to the
surface of the metal. Later, the cardboard covering of the offset cylinder was changed
to rubber, which is still the most commonly used material.

As the 19th century closed and photography became popular, many lithographic firms
went out of business. Photoengraving, a process that used halftone technology instead

of illustration, became the primary aesthetic of the era. Many printers, including Ira
Washington Rubel of New Jersey, were using the low-cost lithograph process to
produce copies of photographs and books. Rubel discovered in 1901—by forgetting to
load a sheet—that when printing from the rubber roller, instead of the metal, the
printed page was clearer and sharper. After further refinement, the Potter Press
printing Company in New York produced a press in 1903. By 1907 the Rubel offset
press was in use in San Francisco.

The Harris Automatic Press Company also created a similar press around the same
time. Charles and Albert Harris modeled their press "on a rotary letter press machine".

2.1.2 Offset Printing in India


The Indian Printing Industry, growing at a rate of 12% per annum, comprises more
than 250,000 big, small and medium printers. The current annual turnover of the
industry is more than INR 50,000 crores (USD 11 Billion).

The industry has undergone a revolutionary change in the last 15 years. In 1990, India
initiated a process of reforms aimed at shedding protectionism and embracing
liberalization of the economy. Privatization was initiated with the aim of integrating
the Indian economy with the world economy. This change opened the doors for the
Indian Print Industry to modernize, by investing in the latest of technology and
machinery.

In recent years, the printing industry in India has seen record levels of growth, owing
to liberalized regimes, globalization and progress in automation. The industry has
grown leaps and bounds due to the latest technology and machinery, quality standards
and production capacities.

The printing industry in India is slowly progressing from the heavy machinery using
industry to a more software-centric business. The Indian printers are today equipped
with the latest computer controlled printing machines and flow lines for binding,
while state-of-the-art digital technologies are used in pre-press. UV digital printing
and inkjet technology are also on the rise in India. The advent of global brands, rising

consumerism and growth of the pharmaceutical industry have seen an increase in the
scope for package printing. Giving an optimistic outlook of the industry, the package
printing sector is growing at the annual rate of 17 percent, commercial printing at a
rate of 10-12 percent and digital printing at robust 30 percent.

The digital printing industry is seeing significant transformations with new


technologies & applications providing cost-effective and customized solutions. For
the foreseeable future, offset and digital will not only co-exist, but will also
complement each other- with offset taking the medium-to-longer jobs and digital
performing on short-to-medium run lengths.

The booming Indian economy, increasing consumerism, entry of global brands in the
country and opening of the sector to foreign investors are bound to offer growth
opportunities to the industry.

The compounded annual growth rate of the Indian Printing Industry is estimated to be
12.2% for the period 2007-12. The objective is to achieve 60% growth by the year of
2014. The printing industry of India is highly fragmented. Newspapers and magazine
publishing section have the large printers apart from a few in package, label and
commercial printing. About 77% of the printing houses are family-owned. From 2002
inwards the government allowed foreign investment. Foreign investors can now invest
up to 26% in daily newspapers and 100% in scientific or other publications with
government approval. Printing sector has evolved from a manufacturing industry into
a service industry in India of late. Publishing have come up to the international
standards as well.

Most of the large printers are found in big cities of Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai,
Hyderabad, Chennai, and Sivakasi, which has emerged as a commercial printing hub
and accounts for a major share of exports from the Indian printing industry.

The Indian printing industry will reach nearly $20.9 billion by 2015, a government
official said at the ninth edition of the international exhibition on printing and allied
machinery industries (PAMEX) which was inaugurated at Greater Noida. With the
exponential growth, the organizers expect India to become the largest printing market

St. Thomas’ college (Autonomous) 21 Department Of Commerce


A Study Of Employees Satisfaction With Special Reference To Ebenezer Printpack (P) Ltd,

by 2015 aided by low-cost production and ready-to-adopt new technology. The event
is also being supported by the Indian Newspaper Society (INS) and the Federation of
Indian Publishers. It is the only dedicated international exhibition for the industry
organized in Asia.

The printing industry in India is slowly progressing from the heavy machinery using
industry to a more software-centric business. The Indian printers are today equipped
with the latest computer controlled printing machines and flow lines for binding,
while state-of-the-art digital technologies are used in pre-press. UV digital printing
and inkjet technology are also on the rise in India. The advent of global brands, rising
consumerism and growth of the pharmaceutical industry have seen an increase in the
scope for package printing. Giving an optimistic outlook of the industry, the package
printing sector is growing at the annual rate of 18 percent, commercial printing at a
rate of 4 – 6 percent and digital printing at robust 30 percent. The digital printing
industry is seeing significant transformations with new technologies & applications
providing cost-effective and customized solutions. For the foreseeable future, offset
and digital will not only co-exist, but will also complement each other- with offset
taking the medium-to-longer jobs and digital performing on short-to-medium run
lengths. The booming Indian economy, increasing consumerism, entry of global
brands in the country and opening of the sector to foreign investors are bound to offer
growth opportunities to this industry.

3.1. REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Review of literature is the most important aspect in any research work. It is a


measure, stating the recent output on a particular area of research and organised in a
helpful sequence to strengthen the present research techniques. The main objective of
the review of literature is to understand the research activities that have taken place in
a particular discipline in general and the area of research in particular. All the relevant
literature available was reviewed and presented. The contribution of academicians,
information scientists, research scholars and library professionals on this topic in
various dimensions has yielded invaluable set of research output.

1. Ronan (1970) studied the relative importance of eighteen job characteristic in


relation to job satisfaction and found that job security is not important to
salaried workers but is important to both managerial and hourly workers.
2. Cranny, Smith, Stone (1992) stated Employee satisfaction is defined as the
combination of affective reactions to the differential perceptions of what
he/she wants to receive compared with what he/she actually receives
3. Thomas & Sasikumar (2002) to determine factors which are important in
deciding job satisfaction of managers in co-operative sector, the following
were found to be important – job security, opportunity to use knowledge and
skill, opportunity to participate in decision making connected with job, variety
in job and challenge in job.
4. Yadav (2004) states that nature of work or the job content also influence the
level of job satisfaction of employees in the organization
5. Kelley (2005) stated that to investigate what the employees are satisfied by
and measuring the employee satisfaction in the work place is critical to the
success and increases the profitability of the organization for having
competitive advantage
6 . Moyes, Shao, & Newsome, ( 2008) stated the employee satisfaction may be
described as how pleased an employee is with his or her position of
employment

7. Chopra and Khan (2010) states that job satisfaction is a complex and
multifaceted concept, which can mean different things to different people. The
link between job satisfaction and performance may prove to be a spurious
relationship, instead, both satisfaction and performance are the result of
personality. Hence the behavioral aspect of HRM has to be kept in mind by
the organization decision makers
