ABSTRACT

The topic of the project is “A STUDY ON JOB SATISFACTION OF


WORKERS IN ALLSEC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED”.

The cost of labour in BPO is increasing disproportionately along with


Absenteeism, which leads to increased financial burden for the management.
The government provides less taxation and more concession based on the
location of the industry. The organization realizes the need to Asses the
workers satisfaction of their welfare schemes.

The objective of the study was to assess employee’s job satisfaction


level and their satisfaction level in various welfare facilities provided by the
organization.

The research design under taken for the study was descriptive
research type and the sampling method used was census method. A total
population of 125 workers was covered.

The primary source of data was collected from the employees through
survey method using a structured questionnaire. The data was collected
through interview schedule on a 5-point scale questionnaire. The secondary
data was collected referring to the personal manual of the organisation.

Chi-square and simple percentage analysis were used to analyze the


data collected. The results show that most of the employees were satisfied
with the factors of job satisfaction. Very few workers of different departments
have some specific problems relating to their work, environment and
colleagues. Suitable suggestions were given by the researcher to improve
these facilities in the organisation.

1.2 INTRODUCTION TO INDUSTRY
Outsourcing became well known largely because of a rapid growth in the
number of high-tech companies in the early 1990’s that were often not large enough to
be able to easily maintain large customer service departments of their own. In some
cases these companies hired technical writers to simplify the usage instructions of
their products, index the key points of their information and contracted with
temporary employment agencies to find, train and hire generally low- skilled workers
to answer their telephone technical support and customer service calls.

These agents generally worked in call centers where the information needed to
assist the calling customer was indexed in a computer system. The Wikipedia website
defines outsourcing as “the management and/or day to day execution of an entire
business function by a third party services provider.”

Outsourcing always involves a considerable degree of two-way information


exchange; coordination and trust. Organizations that deliver such services feel that
outsourcing requires the turning over of management responsibility for running a
segment of business. In theory, this business segment should not be mission-critical,
but practice often dictates otherwise. Many companies look to employ expert
organizations in the areas targeted for outsourcing.

Business segments typically outsourced include Information Technology,


Human Resource, facilities and Real Estate Management and Accounting. Many
companies also outsource Customer support and call centre functions, manufacturing
and engineering. Outsourcing business is characterized by expertise not inherent to
the core of the client organization.

TYPES OF OUTSOURCED WORK


Some outsourcing companies use a competition/contest-style approach to get
their advanced work done and hunt for international talents for potential
employments.

DATA ANALYSIS

Every organization generates huge chunk of data. Hidden in them is


information. Data analysis is the crucial process to extract information out of the
otherwise random pile of the data. The analysis results in gaining intelligence, such as
trends, out of the data. This is vital in any process let it be banking operations, retail
or pharmaceutical research. Varying amounts of data in quality and quantity are
generated depends upon the process. Similarly the analysis requirements too vary
depending upon the process. For example the huge chunk of data generated by drug
trials needs to be analyzed to conclude the result. Similarly data from a diversified
field needs to be pulled together and analyzed to forecast the trend in the stock
market.

12
RESEARCH PROCESS
This is treated as niche sector in outsourcing. The research processes are
usually outsourced in full or in parts. Let it be the research in nanotechnology or
research in genetics, the process is viable for outsourcing. Generally larger research
projects are cut into various sub projects or tasks. The outsourcing is then carried out
based on the viability and competitiveness of the outsourcing destinations. Thus
exploiting the competitiveness viable at various parts of the world into single large
projects. The research process outsourcing (RPO) is also known as knowledge process
outsourcing (KPO) as it calls for the application of specialized knowledge of a high
level. The KPO typically involves a component of Analysis Proves Outsourcing and
Research Process Outsourcing, General Electric (GE) is one of the pioneers in RPO.

I T OPERATIONS
This is one of the newcomers in the outsourcing arena. The task basically
involves the management of I T assets of corporation from a remote location. For
example the management of a computer network of a large corporation includes
outage monitoring, alarms monitoring remote monitoring of data centers etc. The
nature of these operation calls for a real-time support when the need arises. That
means such tasks are not easily outsourced to the places in far time zones. Instead it’s
outsourced to comparable time zone locations, which are competitive. This need for
the geographical proximity earned it a specific name near sourcing.

LEGAL SUPPORT SERIVCES


Works outsourced in these fields ranges from those in the techno-legal (such
as drafting patent claims) to the keying in of legal transcripts (from audio) to
structured legal documents. Patent application preparation is a painstakingly labour
intensive (searching patents all over the world) that needs special knowledge in the
subject under patenting and the legal requirements. Nevertheless this is a multibillion
dollar business and hence it’s in place in the outsourcing arena.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
This is probably the most talked about subject in the outsourcing field.
Probably because of the very nature of the software, outsourcing in software
development has much fast evolved as compared to other area of outsourcing.

ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
Many large institutions have outsourced the management of their
environmental service facilities, such as laundries and waste management plants, to
service providers. Thus, while appearing to save operating cost; the institution gives
up control of these vital functions to the outsourcing company.

1.3 PROJECT PROFILE

INTRODUCTION - JOB SATISFACTION


Job satisfaction refers to an employee’s general attitude towards his job. Locke
defines Job satisfaction as a “Pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from
the appraisal of one’s job or job experiences”.

According to P.C. Smith,” Job satisfaction is the persistence of feeling towards


discriminable aspect of the job “.

According to Keith Davis,” Job satisfaction is the favorableness or


unfavorableness with which employees view their work if results when there is a fit
between job characteristics and the wants of employees “.

According to Vroom,” Job satisfaction as the positive orientation of an


individual towards the work role which he is presently occupying”.

According to Stephen P. Robbins,” Job satisfaction is an individual’s general


attitude towards his or her job”.

MOTIVATION, ATTITUDE AND JOB SATISFACTION


Motivation means willingness to work or produce. A person may be talented
and equipped with all kinds of abilities and skills but may have no will to work.
Satisfaction on the other hand, implies the positive emotional state, which may be
totally unrelated to productivity. Similarly in the literature, the terms job attitude and
Job satisfaction are inter changeable. Attitudes and pre-dispositions that make the
individual behave in a characteristic way across situations. They are precursors to
behavior and determine its intensity and directions. Job satisfaction on the other hand,
is an end-state of feelings that may influence subsequent behavior. In this respect job
attitude and Job satisfaction would result from motivation and their morale level.

EVALUVATING JOB SATISFACTION


Before management can develop policies and practices to increase employee’s
satisfaction or maintain existing levels if they are found to be acceptable, information
must be obtained from the organization’s work force. Management can informally
acquire some insights into satisfaction level based on impressions obtained from
employees. Unfortunately, sometimes information gathered in this way may be
misleading. Employees are often reluctant to tell supervisors negative things about
their jobs. Moreover, such information will almost certainly be obtained from a non-
representative sample of all employees.

16
An accurate assessment of employee’s satisfaction ordinarily requires a more
formal procedure. Satisfaction surveys are often conducted to get systematic
information from employees. Satisfaction survey can provide information regarding
how employees feel about their jobs and the organization. However surveys are not
completely neutral information-gathering devices. Employees expectation may be
raised simply because employees are asked to participate in the survey process.
Failure to follow up on the survey with appropriate managerial action may result in
decreased employee satisfaction than what existed before.

Job satisfaction survey helps to find out the level of employee satisfaction and
to take collective actions if needed to improve employee satisfaction and
performance.

2.1 NEED FOR THE STUDY
The resource capable of enlargement mainly is human resource. Other
resources can be utilized or less utilized, but they can never have output greater than
the sum of outputs. Human resources available can grow and develop. Human
resource can be utilized at its maximum only when they are satisfied with their job.

When an employee joins the company, various factors in and around the
company affects the mind setting of the employee either in positive or negative way.
Due to change in mind setting the employee may either change himself/herself to be
active or inactive.

It is very much essential to study the impact/contribution of various factors of


job satisfaction to the employees of the organisation to retain its human resource and
also to increase their productivity.
