1.1 Background of the Study
Bank can be termed as iron cell of blood in a financial system of a country. Without bank a
financial system can’t survive. Form the very beginning of financial activity in human
civilization bank has a remarkable contribution as a whole.
The products and services that are sold in the most favorable prices can be an initial step of the
firm in obtaining the trust and be included in the top list of the customers. However, because of
the tight competition of various services in Janata bank Ltd., the perception of the customers and
potential customers are also divided according to the services that they want to achieve. In
addition, the impact of the economic problems is financial crunches in Bank that creates a great
challenge for the bank. With all the challenges that are ahead on bank, how will it gather the
customers ‘satisfaction?
The finding of the study will be useful for me as well as for readers to set knowledge about the
topic and Janata bank.

1.2Objectives of the study


The main objective of the study is to gain practical exposures about “Customer Satisfaction of
Janata Bank Ltd. There are two objective of the report, such as:
1. Broad Objective
2. Specific Objective

1.3 Scope of the Study


Janata Bank Ltd. is one of the leading banks in Bangladesh. The scope of the study is limited to
the DMC branch, annual report of Janata Bank, Booklet of Janata Bank and their website only.
The report covers the organizational structure, background, functions, customer satisfaction and
the performance of the branch as well as the bank. The scope of the study is just to acquaint with
the Customer Satisfaction scenario of Janata Bank, particularly in DMC Branch. For the bindings
of security all the data could not be enclosed in this report.

1.4 Limitations of the Study


From beginning to end, the study has been conducted with the intention of making it as complete
and resourceful one. However, many problems aroused in the way of conducting the study.
During the study, it was not possible to visit all the branches of bank although the financial
statements and other information regarding the study have been painstaking. This study faced the
following problems-
 The first limitation of the study is the time constraint; the duration of the report was very
limited.
 All branches of the bank were not physically visited.
 Sometimes the client did not cooperate easily.
 Omission and error may be there due to lack of experience in preparing a professional
report like this one.
 The officers of a bank were too much busy to provide information and interviews to
make project.
 Another drawback of the study was confidentiality to disclose their data, information;
because the market is more competitive.

It would be better to take interview of some loyal clients of this branch. But this has not been
possible for the lack of their time and busyness of the branch.

1.5 Methodology
The study has been performed based on the information extracted from the different sources
collected by using a specific methodology.
Methodology is as follows:

Chapter 2
Overview of Organization
2.1 History of Janata Bank:
Janata bank Ltd. has its prosperous past, glorious present and prospective future. Established as
the first public sector Bank fully owned by Bangladeshi entrepreneurs, JBL has been flourishing

opened on 11th May 1983 at Khatungong, Chittagong. Today we have total 76 Branches all over
Bangladesh.

Number of banks In this backdrop, in order to rebuild the country’s economy, measures had been
taken to merge a previously operated in this region and make new banks and this initiatives led

Chapter 3
Literature Review

It has been recognized that eco-efficiency improvements at production and product design level
can be significantly reduced or totally negated by rebound effect from increased consumption
levels. In line with this problem factor 10 to 20 material and energy efficiency improvements
have been suggested (Factor 10 Club 1994; Schmidt-Bleek 1996; Bolund, Johansson et al. 1998;
Ryan 1998). The improvements, however, if not carefully done, may still lead to rebound effects
through changes in resource prices.
As a potential solution to the factor 10/20 vision, system level improvements have to be made,
contrary to redesigning individual products or processes (Weterings and Opschoor 1992;

8
Vergragt and Jansen 1993; von Weizsäcker, Lovins et al. 1997; Ryan 1998; Manzini1999;
Brezet, Bijma et al. 2001; Ehrenfeld and Brezet 2001).
The product service system (PSS) concept has been suggested as a way to contribute to this
system level improvement (Goedkoop, van Halen et al. 1999; Mont 2000). Here the
environmental impacts of products and associated services could be addressed already at the
product and service design stage. Special focus should be given to the use phase by providing
alternative system solutions to owning products.
A number of examples in the business-to-business (B2B) area exist that confirm the potential of
PSS for reducing life cycle environmental impact. It is, however, increasingly evident that
business examples are difficult to directly apply to the private consumer market. Private
consumers, contrary to businesses, prefer product ownership to service substitutes (Schrader
1996; Littig 1998). Even if accepted, the environmental impacts of “services products” offers
depend to a large extent on consumer behavior.
To address this problem, either behavioral or service system design changes are needed.
Changing human behavior and existing lifestyles contributes to the vision of sustainable
development, but at the same time, it is an extremely difficult and time-consuming process. A
potentially easier way is changing the design of the product-service system to reduce Behavioral
pitfalls. In order to change system design, it is necessary to understand how consumer acceptance
of more sustainable solutions is formed, influenced or changed, what the influencing factors are
and what are the leverage points for best results with lowest costs.
Understanding the consumer perceptions and behavior in this context. A considerable body of
literature in a range of different disciplines exists on consumption, consumer behavior, and
consumer decision-making process. Research in economics, business, marketing, psychology
and sociology domains studies consumer behavior from different theoretical premises: “for
economists, consumption is used to produce utility; for sociologists, it is a means of
stratification; for anthropologists – a matter of ritual and symbol; for psychologists – the means
to satisfy or express physiological and emotional needs; and for business, it is a way of making
money” (Fine 1997).
For more than a decade now, a range of studies that address environmentally sound consumer
Behavior, e.g. car use, waste sorting, minimization and recycling practices have been conducted.
However, few studies evaluated consumer acceptance of the PSS concept – a consumption based

9
on non-ownership of physical products, see, for example, studies on car sharing schemes
(Schrader 1999; Meijkamp 2000), ski rental and washing services (Hirschl, Konrad et al. 2001).
One reason explaining the lack of studies in the area could be that, there are still not many PSS
schemes in place to serve as test grounds. Another reason could be uniformity of research focus.
Most of consumer research focused on adopter categories, habits, attitudes and intentions, rather
than on actually measuring the satisfaction level with the service. The reason is probably that
PSS ideas have been promoted by researchers from the environmental management, marketing,
design, and engineering fields, and to a lesser extent by sociologists, who hold the banner of
research in customer satisfaction.

Chapter 4
Analysis and Findings
4.1 Definition of Customer Satisfaction:
Customer satisfaction, a term frequently used in marketing, is a measure of how products and
Services supplied by an organization meet or surpass customer expectation. Satisfaction is as a
judgment following a consumption experience - it is the consumer’s judgment that a product
provided (or is providing) a pleasurable level of consumption-related fulfillment. Customer
satisfaction is defined as "the number of customers, or percentage of total customers, whose
reported experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings) exceeds specified
satisfaction goals."

10
In other words, "The degree of satisfaction provided by the goods or services of a company is
measured by the number of repeat customers.
According to Kotler & Armstrong, “Consumer Satisfaction depends on a product’s perceived
performance in delivering value relative to a buyer’s expectations.”
In Webster Dictionary, “Consumer Satisfaction means fulfillment of a need or want”

4.2 Importance of Customer satisfaction:


1. It is the KPI within the Bank.
2. In a competitive marketplace where businesses compete for customers, customer
satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator.
3. Satisfied customers are most likely to be loyal.
4. Satisfied customers generally make repeat orders.
5. They generally use a wide range of services offered by Bank.
6. A few unhappy customers will have an outsize impact on your reputation online. So, all
of them need to be satisfied.
7. It’s the best form of advertising.

4.3 Factors affecting Customer Satisfaction in Banking Sector:


Banking is a service industry focused towards the customer’s money and its management. An
element that strongly drove the satisfaction of customers in the banking sector was the
Conviviality factor related to the features of a bank and the attributes of its personnel. So, as a
service oriented industry, the banking sectors face some service oriented factors that affect its
customer satisfaction. These are as follows:
1. Traditional Banking Services
2. Internet Banking Services
3. Bank Image Positioning
4. Customer Convenience
5. Risk Privacy in Internet Banking

11
6. Bank Charges
7. Bank Price Policy
8. Bank CRM

Chapter 5
Recommendations and Conclusion

5.1 Recommendations
Janata Bank Limited has an efficient and excellent management team and performing with a
great expertise and care. The limitations can be overcome by taking some measures to make the
performance outstanding. I have some suggestions for Janata Bank from my observation out of
my survey on 50 customers. Those are given below:

• Establish own ATM network and maintain sufficient ATM booth.

• Bank should offer more facilities to the customers’ credit card, visa card and ATM
machine etc.

• The number of branches should be increased. Branches should open in rural areas for
available services.

• The bank should improve the size, location, personal relationship and reputation.
Unnecessary information should be avoided.

• The employees must be so efficient to solve customer problems and provide quicker
service.

• The bank needs to show more advertisement by TV and newspaper so that people can
know about the products and prices which they offer.

• To hold the level of customer satisfaction, bank should offer new products and provide
better services depend on customers’ need.

24
• To increase the number of card holders, bank should advertise it properly and influence
the account holders to take the debit or credit card.

• Employees of bank should be more aware to answer over the telephone.

• The bank should arrange the time to time promotion system for the employees to increase
their effectiveness or motivation level.

• Complain or suggestions box of the customers may be arranged so that customers can
give their opinions freely.

• Modern technology should be properly maintained.

• The bank should concentrate on interest rate according to the expectations of the
customers.

• The number of employees should increase to remove the barriers of providing quick
services to the customers.

The Janata Bank limited is a new generation bank with a dynamic outlook combining both
modern technologies driven banking services.Since after its inception the bank is satisfactorily

and overall sustainable socio economic development of the country.

There are lots of local and foreign banks competing in banking industry in Bangladesh and the
Janata Bank Limited is keeping its promises very successfully. The efficient employees of Janata
Bank always emphasize on customer satisfaction by providing them with high quality products
and services in easier process within shorter time period. Janata Bank concentrates on customers’
expectation in such a way that the satisfaction level of the customers can reach to 100% level.
The bank is gaining improvement in almost all sectors over the last year. The bank has all the
possibilities of becoming one of the leading banks of the country if it can maintain this trend of
improvement.

Before internship I had idea about banking but it was only bookish. Now after completing my
internship period and preparing term paper on customer satisfaction I got practical aspect of
banking. It will definitely help me to observe the things from banking perspective.
