CHAPTER – I
INTRODUCTION
Job satisfaction describes how content an individual is with his or her job. It
is a relatively recent term since in previous centuries the jobs available to a
particular person were often predetermined by the occupation of that person’s
parent. There are a variety of factors that can influence a person’s level of job
satisfaction. Some of these factors include the level of pay and benefits, the
perceived fairness o the promotion system within a company, the quality of the
working conditions, leadership and social relationships, the job itself (the variety of
tasks involved, the interest and challenge the job generates, and the clarity of the
job description/requirements).
The happier people are within their job, the more satisfied they are said to
be. Job satisfaction is not the same as motivation, although it is clearly linked. Job
design aims to enhance job satisfaction and performance methods include job
rotation, job enlargement and job enrichment. Other influences on satisfaction
include the management style and culture, employee involvement, empowerment
and autonomous workgroups. Job satisfaction is a very important attribute which
is frequently measured by organizations. The most common way of measurement
is the use of rating scales where employees report their reactions to their jobs.
Questions relate to relate of pay, work responsibilities, variety of tasks,
promotional opportunities the work itself and co-workers. Some questioners ask
yes or no questions while others ask to rate satisfaction on 1 – 5 scale where 1
represents “not at all satisfied” and 5 represents “extremely satisfied”).

There are many methods for measuring job satisfaction. By far, the most
common method for collecting data regarding job satisfacting 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,
checklist, forced choice answers.
The Job Descriptive Index (JDI), created by smith, Kendall, & Hulin (1969),
job satisfaction that has been widely used. It measures one’s satisfaction in five
facets: pay, promotions and opportunities, coworkers, supervision, and the work
itself. The scale is simple, participants answer either yes, no, or decide in
response to whether given statements accurately describe one job.
The statistical tools used for analyzing the data collected are percentage
method, chi square, bar diagrams and pie diagrams.

The data are collected through survey and books, reports, newspapers and
internet etc., the survey conducted among the employees of Intec Training &
Eduware Co. Pvt. Ltd. The data collected by the researcher are tabulated and
analyzed in such a way to make interpretations.
Various steps, which are required to fulfill the purpose, i.e., editing, coding,
and tabulating. Editing refers to separate, correct and modify the collected data.
Coding refers to assigning number or other symbols to each answer for placing
them in categories to prepare data for tabulation refers to bring together the
similar data in rows and columns and totaling them in an accurate and meaningful
manner
The collected data are analyzed and interrupted using statistical tools and
techniques.
The research period of the study has from 1st December 2010 to March 1st
2011 having 17 weeks of duration.
The researcher was carried out in a short span of time, where in the
researcher could not widen the study.
The study could not be generalized due to the fact that researcher adapted

are available, the POS terminal transfers the approved amount to the account of
the seller, finishing the transaction with a printed receipt.
Optical character recognition (OCR) involves the conversion of a digitized
image of text created in print or handwritten to characters that are recognizable by
word-processing programs. It is also used to preserve documents in an electronic
format without having to re-enter data by hand.
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a data capture technology in which
identification of items is done through transponders that are attached to them. A
transponder is a type of radio-relay equipment that is passive. Its function is to
passively respond with a repetition of the original signal or a coded recognition
signal when struck by an initiating signal. RFIDs work from greater distances than
barcode readers can, which is one of their values.
Intec provides expertise and custom solutions in this domain for in English
as well as French, German and other languages in the Roman script.
Once provided with the content, we scan it into a digital format, Then our
custom developed “Double Keyboarding” process is put into practice, This
process ensures a quality in terms of accuracy of more the 99.995% irrespective
of the nature of content.
The captured content can now be converted into ASCII Text, Tagged Text
(XML, XHTML) or Database formats as per the customers specifications using
customized text converts which are developed by our software support team
keeping in mind the specific requirements of every individual customer.
A strict quality check for the content makes sure that the desired quality
levels are maintained. Our processes are scalable on short notice and we can
process large and deliver large volumes on a daily basis consistently.
Intec provides the Data Extraction service where we convert data in non
editable formats for reproduction and reuse in other applications.
Depending on the requirement we utilize OCR tools to extract the text, and
with years of experience in this trade we have fine tuned this process in
combination of a cleaning exercise and remove any errors that are common with
OCR extraction.
22
This accurately extracted data is then sent for tagging and conversion to
achieve the desired output.
We have many clients who are currently utilizing this process to convert
large volumes of back list titles into current eBook formats like ePub, mobi.
5. XML/HTML CONVERSION
XML/XHTML are great tools for digital display, distribution and storage of
data.
