Human life has become very complex and completed in now-a-days. In

INTRODUCTION:
This survey is conducted to know the Job Satisfaction among the bank employees. This survey
contains two important factors that are Banking Industry and Job Satisfaction. Hence the
introduction of these two factors is important.
Job Satisfaction:
Job satisfaction represents the constellations of person’s attitude towards or about the job. In general,
job satisfaction is the attitude towards the job as a whole. Job satisfaction is a function of satisfaction
with different aspects of job, i.e. supervision, pay, works itself, co-workers, promotion, etc., and of
the particular weighting or importance one attaches to these respective components.
The factors causing job satisfaction, which level factors such as there relating to satisfaction with the
job itself. The factors which cause job dissatisfaction called hygiene factors are more concerned with
conditions of work such as pay and supervision. At no time does Herzberg argue a job satisfactory,
except may be for a short run.
Philip apple while has listed five major components of job satisfaction as,
1. Attitude towards work group.
2. General workings conditions.
3. Attitude towards company.
4. Monetary benefits and
5. Attitude towards supervision
(i) To Motivate - as a definition means “give an incentive for action.” For the small business
owner, motivation is a huge factor for either the success or demise of your company. You
need to devise an "employee motivation program".
The banking section will navigate through all the aspects of the Banking System in India. It will
discuss upon the matters with the birth of the banking concept in the country to new players adding
their names in the industry in coming few years.
Without a sound and effective banking system in India it cannot have a healthy economy. The
banking system of India should not only be hassle free but it should be able to meet new challenges
posed by the technology and any other external and internal factors.
Indian Banking system has played a crucial role in the socio-economic development of the country.
The system is expected to continue to be sensitive to the growth and development needs of all the
segments of the society.
The banking system that will evolve will be transparent in its dealings and adopt global best
practices in accounting and disclosures driven by the motto of value enhancement for all
9
stakeholders. Financial Sector Reforms set in motion in 1991 have greatly changed the face of Indian
Banking.
The banking industry has moved gradually from a regulated environment to a deregulated market
economy. The market developments kindled by liberalization and globalization have resulted in
changes in the intermediation role of banks.
1. HISTORY OF BANK
(i) History of the Indian Banking Industry: The first bank in India, though conservative,

1. BANKING INDUSTRY
10
Banking is the life hood of modem commerce and trade. The dependence of trade and commerce on
banking has become so great that any cession of their activities even for a day could paralyze the
economic life of a nation.
Hence 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 work groups. Job satisfaction is a very important attribute which is
frequently measured by organizations.
11
It’s not illogical to determine that the more satisfied the employee, the better he or she will
perform. So the environment that you create for your employee must be one that is
constructive to positive energy. If your employee feels happy when they are working then
they will be naturally encouraged to work.
Research linking job performance with satisfaction and other attitudes has been studied since at least
1939, with the Hawthorne studies Roethlisberger & Dickson. In Judge et al. (2001), it was found by
Bray field and Crockett that there is only a minimal relationship between job performance and job
satisfaction. However, Judge et al. (2001) cited that there are other studies by Locke, Schwab &
Cummings (1970), and Vroom (1964) that have shown that there is at least some relationship
between those variables. Iaffaldano and Muchinsky did an extensive analysis on the relationship
between job performance and job satisfaction.
Motivation: This act only works when people are receptive to it, and when it is done in the most
applicable way. That is, when it feeds the needs of the person to be motivated.

Chi – square test is applied to test the goodness of fit to verify the distribution of
observed data with assumed theoretical distribution. Therefore it is a measure to study
the divergence of actual and expected frequencies; Karl Pearson’s has developed a
method to test the difference between the theoretical (hypothesis) and the observed
value.
Chi – square test (X2) = (O – E) 2 / E
Degrees Of Freedom = V = (R – 1) (C -1)
Were,
‘O’ = Observed Frequency
‘E’ = Expected Frequency
‘R’ = Number of Rows
‘C’ = Number of Columns.
NOTE: For all the chi-square test the table value has taken @ 5% level of
significance.

were allocated based on the response. For each of the factor three levels of satisfaction were
assigned namely high, medium and low. E.g.
23
Suggestion:
1. There must be some increment in the salary of the employees of lower otherwise this cause for
the job dissatisfaction among them and hence the productivity of the bank may decrease.
2. The firm’s must have to improve the promotion chances otherwise; this may create job
dissatisfaction among the bank employees.
3. The house facility must be increased because it is very fundamental and basic need for an
employee.
4. The festival offer facility must be improved to attract the customers.
Limitations:
1. Some employees were very busy and not ready to give the time.
2. The timing of the bank and my college is same which also create problem in conducting the
survey.
3. Some employee fear in filling the questionnaire.
