Executive Summary
The main focus of this report is on the “Analysis and Findings” part. The information is collected
by a questionnaire. The questionnaire includes 19 questions. The questions are about salary,
transfer and posting, work and working environment, and chances of promotion and recognition.
The questionnaire also includes some demographic characteristics like-age, gender,work
position, and work experience. Statistical software (SPSS) is used to analyze data. Different
graphs are used to interpret analysis.. By conducting this study several findings have been
derived about the job satisfaction level of employees in context of Dhakeshwari branch, Janata
Bank Ltd.
Gender is one of the factors that has influence on job satisfaction.Female respondents are more
satisfied than male respondents.Employees with upper position are more satisfied than the lower
position. It is because of status and recognitions. Experience also influences job satisfaction. The
respondents work in the bank for more that 5-10 years are more satisfied than the respondents
work in the bank for a period of 1-4 years. More salary, status and recognition are associated
with experience and upper level positions, so experienced employees are more satisfied than less
experienced employees.
Salary is another factor that affects job satisfaction.13% employees are satisfied with the recent
increase in national pay scale .But still 50% employees think that it is not adequate.53 percent
respondents think persuasion is needed for better posting and 83 percent respondents think
promotion should be based on academic qualifications and job experiences. That is they have
dissatisfaction regarding transfer and posting.
Work and working environment also affect job satisfaction. 97 percent respondents think their
work is meaningful and 90 percent respondents think their work is challenging. Chances of
promotion and recognition is another factor in job satisfaction. 53 percent respondents think
fairly good chances of promotion is absent in their bank. There are also unfair promotion
practices in this bank. 87 percent of the respondents think that new kind of performance appraisal
is needed and old performance appraisal system should not be continued. So there is
dissatisfaction about performance appraisal of Janata Bank Ltd.
f
When they are asked about overall satisfaction level with bank,83 percent of the respondents
give positive answer that they are satisfied. Although 83 percent of the respondents gives
positive answer , they give many negative answers to various factors.
The study conducted on factors like Salary, Posting and Transfer, Work and Working
Environment and Chances of Promotion, recognition and many other factors shows that these
factors have a relation with satisfaction and dissatisfaction of the employees. All the factors
included in the questionnaire have a great impact on job satisfaction. The overall study indicates
that the employees of Janata Bank Ltd. are not adequately satisfied with the bank. They are
satisfied in some cases. But more attention is needed from concerned authority to ensure full
satisfaction of employees of Janata Bank to make them work spontaneously to derive better
output from them.

Chapter 1:Introduction
In modern competitive business, service-oriented companies play a significant role to shape the
economic structure of world economy. Especially depository institutions such as commercial
banks are the major service-oriented businesses that deal with customers to serve their needs at a
peak level. Now-a-days to attain the specific goal companies strive to build a sustainable and
profitable relationship with their employees. An organization with highly satisfied workers is
always in a flow of successive improvement in its operation. Job satisfaction is a complex
phenomenon that can be variably interpreted. It is the absence of pain, oppressiveness and
intolerance and also indeed enjoyment of work. Job satisfaction studies are based on emotional
response of employees which is related with some socio-cultural, organizational and personal
factors variables like pay, promotion, supervision, benefits, contingent rewards, operating
procedures, co-workers, nature of work, working conditions, social status etc.This report has
been prepared to find out the factors that have influence on employees’ job satisfaction as an
attempt to help depository institutions such as commercial banks to build a sustainable and
profitable relationship with their employees.
As a mandatory part of the BBA Program, all the students of the faculty of Business Studies,
University of Dhaka have to undergo an internship program with an objective of gaining
practical knowledge about current business world. After this internship program every student
has to submit an internship report. So I conduct this study for the purpose of fulfilling academic
requirement as well as for gaining insight about the factors that have influence on satisfaction
level of employees at bank.I can also gather practical brief experience about the environment
and trends of an organization through this study.

2. To identify the factors which improve the satisfaction level of employees.
3. To categorize the factors dependable for satisfaction or dissatisfaction of the bank

4. This study helps to make a managerial decision to the company.
5. It is helpful to identify the employee’s level of satisfaction towards welfare measure.
1.5: Limitations
This internship report is not free from limitations. Key limitations of the study are as follows:
The population size is small and therefore the findings of this study cannot be
extrapolated to perfectly represent the perception and level of job satisfaction of the total
branches of the bank.
The survey may be subjected to the bias and prejudices of the respondents. Hence 100%
accuracy can’t be assured.
Cooperation among the Banker for the first time was very much limited. It is very much
difficult to collect data when the persons are not cooperative.
Bankers are very much busy for their own work to satisfy the customers need. So they get
less time give any information regarding intern.
The study was carried out in a short span of time, where in the researcher could not widen
the study.

2.2 Review of the Related Literature
Job satisfaction can be defined as an emotional reaction that “results from the perception that
one’s job fulfils or allows the fulfillment of one’s important job values, provided that it is to the
degree that those values are congruent with one’s needs” (Berry,L,1981). This was operational
zed by a five-item scale adopted from Cheung, C. K., and Scherling, S. A. (1999) reflecting
overall satisfaction with the job. Each item measured a dimension of the satisfaction constructs:
degree of satisfaction with the work, co-workers, and supervision, total pay and promotional
opportunities. Despite it’s wide usage in scientific research, as well as in everyday life, there is
still no general agreement regarding what job satisfaction is. In fact there is no final definition on
what job represents.
One of the most often cited definitions on job satisfaction is the one given by Sector according to
whom job satisfaction has to do with the way how people feel about their job and its various
aspects. It has to do with the extent to which people like or dislike their job. That’s why job
satisfaction and job dissatisfaction can appear in any given work situation. Job satisfaction
represents a combination of positive or negative feelings that workers have towards their work.
Meanwhile, when a worker employed in a business organization, brings with it the needs, desires
and experiences which determinates expectations that he has dismissed. Job satisfaction
represents the extent to which expectations are and match the real awards. Job satisfaction is
closely linked to that individual's behavior in the work place (Karl, K. A., and Sutton, C. L.,
1998).
5
Job satisfaction is a worker’s sense of achievement and success on the job. It is generally
perceived to be directly linked to productivity as well as to personal well-being. Job satisfaction
implies doing a job one enjoys, doing it well and being rewarded for one’s efforts. Job
satisfaction further implies enthusiasm and happiness with one’s work. Job satisfaction is the key
ingredient that leads to recognition, income, promotion, and the achievement of other goals that
lead to a feeling of fulfillment (Locke, E., 1976). Job satisfaction can be defined also as the
extent to which a worker is content with the rewards he or she gets out of his or her job,
particularly in terms of intrinsic motivation (Nunnally, J. L.,1979). The term job satisfactions
refer to the attitude and feelings people have about their work. Positive and favorable attitudes
towards the job indicate job satisfaction. Negative and unfavorable attitudes towards the job
indicate job dissatisfaction (Pugliesi, K., 1995).
Smith, P. C., Kendal, L. M., and Hulin, C. L.(1969) lists three important features of job
satisfaction. First, organizations should be guided by human values. Such organizations will be
oriented towards treating workers fairly and with respect. In such cases the assessment of job
satisfaction may serve as a good indicator of employee effectiveness. High levels of job
satisfaction may be sign of a good emotional and mental state of employees. Second, the
behavior of workers depending on their level of job satisfaction will affect the functioning and
activities of the organization's business. From this it can be concluded that job satisfaction will
result in positive behavior and vice versa, dissatisfaction from the work will result in negative
behavior of employees. Third, job satisfaction may serve as indicators of organizational
activities. Through job satisfaction evaluation different levels of satisfaction in different
organizational units can be defined, but in turn can serve as a good indication regarding in which
organizational unit changes that would boost performance should be made.
The relationship between job satisfaction and the work value and job rewards associated with six
dimensions of work—intrinsic, convenience, financial, relations with co-workers, career
opportunities and resource adequacy(Pugliesi, K., 1995).Reward and recognition are not
significantly associated with employees’ job satisfaction. However, reward and recognition have
provided longer term, infrastructural benefits necessary for the continued improvement overtime,
but with an indirect association towards employees’ job satisfaction (Locke, E., 1976). Rewards
6
are positively related to job satisfaction. In contrast, there was a weak relationship between
reward and recognition of employees’ job satisfaction. Reward and recognition was found to
have insignificant contributions towards employees’ job satisfaction. This indicated that both
recognition and rewards required motivating effects on people at work.
7
stability and aggressiveness had uniformly strong association with affective commitment, job
satisfaction and information sharing.
2.2.5 Relationship between Organizational Trust and Job Satisfaction
Organizational trust is positively related to job satisfaction (Zeithaml, V.A. & Bitner M.
J.,2003) .In addition, organizational trust was also found to have a positive contribution towards
employees’ job satisfaction. This suggests that employees require support and trust, from
executives and management teams. It is important that management practice empowerment and
trust their employees’ capabilities to have control over their working lives. The results are
consistent with previous research, which found that employees with high reciprocal trust had
better opinions of their managers, and experienced higher satisfaction, involvement, well-being
and commitment (Weiss, D. J., Davis, R. V., England, G. W., and Lofquist, L. H., 1967).
Therefore, it is found that employees require support and trust, from executives and management
teams and if they find it then employees will be satisfied in their job. Higher level of
organizational trust means higher level of employee job satisfaction.

3.9 Corporate Social Responsibility
The banking sector of Bangladesh has been actively participating in various social activities.
However, these efforts were hardly recognized and labeled as CSR activities since most of the
financial institutions have not integrated CSR in their routine operation; rather these were in the
form of occasional charity or promotional activities. Some of these activities are:
Disaster relief and rehabilitation became the segment where the highest number of banks
participated to help case the sufferings of the affected people. In the current context,
there is a desired move from the traditionally popular fields of education or health.
Several banks introduced micro-finance for the target groups, such as poor farmers,
landless peasants, women entrepreneurs, rootless slum people, handicapped people, etc.
More and more banks have taken long-term or renewable scholarship programs for
under-privileged but meritorious students for the persuasion of their studies, instead of
providing one-time recognition awards to good performers.
Some banks choose to provide continued financial support for maintaining operating
costs of health care organizations.
Being one of the leading state-owned commercial banks in Bangladesh, Janata Bank Limited is
aware of the responsibilities of corporate citizenship. As such, we that it is our responsibility to
improve the living standard of the poor people, try to alleviate poverty from the society and
contribute in the field of education, healthcare, sports etc. Thus the bank has stuck to the
principle "From the Society, To The Society" to uphold various CSR programs. For making its
entrepreneurship a success, Janata Bank Limited distributed Tk.17 million in 2013 for CSR. In
the same way bank distributed Tk. 61.29 million for following CSR activities during the year
2014.

It is the behalf of the management and the Board that banks lend money that is in effect

younger respondents.

10 years are more satisfied than the respondents work in the bank for a period of 1-4
years. More salary, status and recognition are associated with experience and upper level

Chapter Five: Recommendations and Conclusions
5.1 Recommendations
Various factors affect job satisfaction. Salary, posting and transfer, work and working
environment and chances of promotion and recognition are major four of them. The bank should
concentrate on several things those can improve the level of satisfaction. After analyzing the
various factors of job satisfaction in Janata Bank,Newmarket Branch it can be concluded that the
bank should follow the following recommendations:
The bank should increase the amount of salary and other benefits for the employees.
The bank should introduce dearness allowance for its employees to improve satisfaction
level.
The amount of increment in each year should increase.
Number of bonuses in a year should increase like private bank.
Transfer and posting policy should be based on academic qualification and job
experience. Any biasness in transfer and posting should discourage.
The bank should redesign its interior design to ensure less time in work.
The bank should promote its employees in a fair way.
The bank should ensure new kind of performance appraisal in place of old performance
appraisal system.
The bank should provide the employees with the opportunities of advancement.
The bank should moderate the administrative policies and procedures that will be helpful
in maintaining discipline.
Supervisors should be more professional and helpful.

5.2 Conclusions
As job satisfaction is a key point to acquire the strategic goal of organization, the management
should be more serious to ensure some tactics that can be effective for gratifying the workers. In
recent times, the successful managers deal with their workers using different tools and
techniques to satisfy their needs. As evidenced by this study, several factors influence
employees’ job satisfaction, and these factors are dynamic. Job dissatisfaction can contribute to
multiple organizational problems and has been associated with increased levels of turnover and
absenteeism, which ultimately cost the organization in terms of low performance and decreased
productivity. It is important for HR, as a strategic business partner, to be aware of not only the
needs and composition of the workforce but also environmental factors and trends. The study has
been conducted using Rensis Likert scale. It has been conducted on factors like Salary, Posting
and Transfer, Work and Working Environment and Chances of Promotion, recognition and
many other factors . The study shows that all the factors included in the questionnaire have a
great impact on job satisfaction. The overall study indicates that the employees of Janata Bank
Ltd. are not adequately satisfied with the bank. They are satisfied in some cases.But more
attention is needed from concerned authority to ensure full satisfaction of employees of Janata
Bank to make them work spontaneously to derive better output from them.
