INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background
Job satisfaction is one of the most widely researched among the most extensively researched
subjects in Industrial/Organizational Psychology church snd judge (2000).Several work
motivation theories have supported the implied role of job satisfaction. Work satisfaction
theories, such as Maslow (1943) Hierarchy of Needs, Herzberg (1968)Two-Factor
(Motivator-Hygiene) Theory, Adam (1965)Equity Theory, Locke (1976)Discrepencey theory,
Bandura (1977) Social Learning Theory, and Landy(1978) Opponent Process Theory, have
tried to explain job satisfaction and its influence.
The most widely accepted theory of job satisfaction was proposed by Locke (1976), who
defined job satisfaction as “a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the
appraisal of one’s job or job experiences”. Job satisfaction has emotional, cognitive, and
behavioral components (Bernstein, 2008). The emotional component refers to job-related
feelings such as boredom, anxiety, acknowledgement and excitement. The cognitive
component of job satisfaction pertains to beliefs regarding one's job whether it is respectable,
mentally demanding/challenging and rewarding. Finally, the behavioral component includes
people's actions in relation to their work such as tardiness, working late, faking illness in
order to avoid work (Nash, 2008)
Job satisfaction refers to the positive attitudes or emotional dispositions that people may gain
from work or through aspects of work. Employees’ job satisfaction becomes a central
attention in the researches and discussions in work and organizational psychology because it
is believed to have relationship with the job performance and their attitude towards the
organization and manager.
There are essentially two types of job satisfaction based on the level of employees' feelings
regarding their jobs. The first, and most analysed, is global job satisfaction.
which refers to employees' overall feelings about their jobs (e.g., "Overall, I love my job.")
(Kim, 2008). The second is job facet satisfaction, which refers to feelings regarding specific
job aspects, such as salary, benefits, work hierarchy (reporting structure), growth
opportunities, work environment and the quality of relationships with one's co-workers (e.g.,
"Overall, I love my job, but my schedule is difficult to manage.") (Kim, 2008). There are
several myths regarding job satisfaction. One such myth is that a happy employee is a
productive employee (syptek, 1999). Research has offered little to support that a happy
employee is productive, on the contrary, some research has suggested that casualness may
creep in, shifting from productivity to satisfaction (Basett, 1994).
11
According to Carpeter (2009) there are several elements that influence work attitude; they are
personality, adaptation to the work environment, job characteristics, psychological contracts,
organizational justice, job relations and job satisfaction.The work attitude is the feeling we
have toward the different aspects of the work environment. Furthermore Riketta (2008)
explains that work attitude refers to the evaluation or personal interests of work-related
targets. From the definition, it can conclude that the work attitude is the tendency of a subject
in response to an object both positive and negative in the work environment. In this case, it is
explained that a person tends to do a particular job if he has a positive attitude toward his job.
If workers are disasatisfied with their jobs,they are thought to be less productive and more to
abseentism and also have negative attitude towards their manager.So HR department needs to
measure employee job satisfaction and their attitude towards management..In a workplace
setting bad attitude can affect anyone and cause employee dissatisfaction towards
manager.Managers are to satisfy all his employee's so that attitude towards manager is
positive.The manager needs to learn how to identify escalating attitude problems in the work
place to prevent them from becoming a distraction.
The main purpose of the study is to find how job satisfaction affect employees attitude
towards manager and the organization and how it affects organizational performance and its
productivity.Employee satisfaction is of utmost importance for employees to remain happy
and also deliver their level best. Satisfied employees are the ones who are extremely loyal
towards their organization and stick to it even in the worst scenario. The first benefit of
employee satisfaction is that individuals hardly think of leaving their current jobs. Employee
satisfaction in a way is essential for employee retention. Organizations need to retain
deserving and talented employees for long term growth and guaranteed success. employee
satisfaction is essential to ensure higher revenues for the organization. No amount of trainings
or motivation would help, unless and until individuals develop a feeling of attachment and
loyalty towards their organization. Satisfied employees tend to adjust more and handle
pressure with ease as compared to frustrated ones. Employees who are not satisfied with their
jobs would find a problem in every small thing and be too rigid. They find it extremely
difficult to compromise or cope up with the changing times. On the other hand, employees
who are happy with their jobs willing participate in training programs and are eager to learn
new technologies, softwares which would eventually help them in their professional career.
Satisfied employees accept challenges with a big smile and deliver even in the worst of
circumstances.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF LITERATURES
2.1 Introduction
This chapter deals with the review of relevant literature related to the area of the present
research. The literature review plays a significant role in this research project as it makes the
project more systematic and scientific since it provides with appropriate theoretical and
conceptual grounding in conducting this research.
Unutmaz, (2014) did research on Factors Affecting Job Satisfaction Of Employee in Public
Institutions. The study was conducted so that it can determine important factors that affect the
job satisfaction of employees working in a particular public institution and to investigate to
what extent the public institution satisfy its employees. The data were collected from primary
source through interview, questionnaires in a public institution in two different subsidiary
surveys, which were Analytical Hierarchy process (AHP) and job satisfaction survey
(JSS).They were conducted on the subject employee group. It was found that for employees
working in this institution "Internal group dynamics and communication in the department is
observed to be satisfied in the other hand employees are not satisfied with the working
condition.
Parvin( 2015) conducted a research on Factors Affecting Employee Job Satisfaction. The
motive of the study was to identify the factors, which influence the job satisfaction of
employeesand to identify the factor which improves the satisfaction level of employees. A
descriptive research design with survey method was applied in the study. The researcher has
used both the primary and the secondary data for the purpose of this study. Secondary data
were collected from available books, publications, research studies, articles and websites. The
study revealed that Employee job satisfaction can improve service quality and increase
employee satisfaction. In this circumstance, policy makers and managers have turned their
14
attention to provide different kinds of facilities to their employees in order to satisfy their
employees. The results suggest that the factors had satisfactorily explained job satisfaction
and that the policy makers and managers should focus on the factors that affect employee job
satisfaction, if they want to enhance their businesses. Based on the results for the standardized
values, we are able to see that work conditions, fairness, promotion, and pay are key factors
affecting in companies employees’ job satisfaction. Money is a good motivator, actually all
employees’ work for money, employees need the money, a good salary and good
compensations are key factors in satisfying the employee. We can increase the employee
salary and compensation to motivate the employee, the good pay back can be one of the key
factors affecting job satisfaction, also in this way one can increase the service quality and
organizational performance. The factor of work conditions was also proven to have
significant influence over the companies.
Nisa (2014) conducted research on The Influence Of Leadership And Work Attitudes Toward
Job Satisfaction And Performance Of Employee. The objective of the research was to check if
leadership and work attitude are related. This study is emphasized on the correlation of the
study variables by testing the hypothesis proposed, the finding contains the description but the
focus is on the correlation of variables.The data collection is done by using secondary data,
where the data is derived from documents, references, literature, the results of previous
studies and reports related to this research, and primary data is done by distributing a
questionnaire consisting a number of written statements and questions for the respondent
about leadership, work attitudes, job satisfaction, and performance of employee.
15
a) Leadership has a positive and significant influence on job satisfaction. It means that
the better the leadership, the higher the level of job satisfaction.
b) The work attitude has a positive and significant influence toward job satisfaction.
This means that if the civil servants have a positive work attitude, the level of job
satisfaction .
c) Job satisfaction has a positive and significant influence toward the performance of
employee. this means that the higher the level of job satisfaction.
Bakotić (2016) did research on Relationship Between Job satisfaction and organizational
performance. The main objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between job
satisfaction and organisational performance in both directions, and to determine which
relationship is stronger, the one between job satisfaction and organisational performance, or
between organisational performance and job satisfaction. The research sample included 40
large- and medium-sized Croatian companies with 5806 employees surveyed. At first sight,
the research sample of 40 companies seemed a small one, but regarding the research topic
which connected two very sensitive dimensions, job satisfaction and organisational
performance. Detailed analysis showed that the connection between job satisfaction and
organisational performance was stronger than the connection between organisational
performance and job satisfaction. It could be stated that job satisfaction more strongly
determines organisational performance than organisational performance determines job
satisfaction.
Singh J. K.(2013) conducted research on A Study Of Employees’ Job Satisfaction And Its
Impact On Their Performance. The objective of the study was ,to identify the factor which
influence the job satisfaction of employees, To identify the impact of employees’ job
satisfaction on their performance, to identify the factors which improve the satisfaction level
of employees. A descriptive research design with survey method is applied in the study. The
researcher has used both the primary and the secondary data for the purpose of this study.
Secondary data were collected from available books, publications, research studies, articles
and website. the result showed that employee attitudes typically reflect the moral of the
company. In areas of customer service and sales, happy employees are extremely important
because they represent the company to the public. Every organization should develop
strategies that strengthen the work environment and increase the employee’s morale and
employee’s satisfaction to enhance employee performance and productivity, which ultimately
results in high profits, customer satisfaction as well as customer retention.
16
Singh A (2016) did research on research paper on the Employees Attitude Towards
Organizational Change.The objective of the study was to find out if the organizational change
affects employee’s attitude. Research design with survey method was applied in the study.
The researcher has used both the primary and the secondary data for the purpose of this study.
Secondary data were collected from available books, publications, research studies, articles
and website. The research found out one of the most baffling and recalcitrant of the problems,
which business executive’s face was employee resistance to change. Resistance is usually
created because of certain blind spots and employee attitudes with the technical aspects of
new ideas. Management can take concrete steps to deal constructively with these employee
attitudes. The steps included emphasizing new standards of performance and encouraging
them to think in different ways, as well as making use of the fact that signs of resistance can
serve as a practical warning signal in directing and timing technological changes. An
organization must develop a new vision and a new faith in the workforce before it can
approach the organizational change process. Managers must exhibit a trust in the workrrs to
contribute to solving organizational problems, which in turn will build trust in management.
The door must always be open for individuals to take an active role in improving the
organization, allowing for open communication, initiative, and teamwork in problem solving.
S.RAJA (2018) Has conducted research on Study on Employee Job Satisfaction with Special
Reference TO Krishna Giri District CO-Operative Spinning Mills L.T.D. The main objective
of the study was to:
The present study is based on descriptive analysis using primary data to investigate The
objectives and testing the hypothesis. A well-structured questionnaire was used to collect the
primary data. Simple random sampling method was used among the sample size of 125
employees of production department of krishnagiri district co-operative spinning mills ltd.
Uthangarai. In this study percentage analysis, weighted average, chi-square have been used as
the research tools. The study helped in revealing the level of satisfaction of employees with
reference to the various factors provided in the organization. This study clearly shows that
employees under organization are more or less satisfied with the job. The organization should
consider on the salary, relationship of employees and supervisors, grievance handling and
give more opportunity for the new employees. The study also considered some other
17
problems lie to under by the government I hope. The management would consider my
suggestions definitely; it will improve his business highly motivated employees are consider
the great asset of the company.
Primary data was used for the present study. The primary data was collected from 180 sample
respondents from Alstom Power Projects Limited, Durgapur. For collecting the first-hand
information from the respondents, sample respondents were chosen by convenience sampling
method. Questionnaire was the main tool used to collect the pertinent data from the selected
sample respondents. For this purpose, a well structured questionnaire was framed. Field
survey method was employed to collect the primary data from the selected sample
respondents. Secondary information was collected from sources like website, articles from
magazines, news papers and journals. The statistical tools used for the study are Percentage
and frequency, Chi-square test and ANOVA. Only half of the respondents were satisfied with
the medical facilities and safety procedures provided in the organization, which means that,
the remaining half of them were not satisfied. Therefore, the management with regard to the
medical facilities along with ESI has to offer a minimal amount exclusively for the medical
expenditure as a special package for different levels of employees. This would motivate them
and restrict them to avail leave. As per the respondents’ opinion, safety procedures followed
were not up to the mark, which also is one of the reason for regular absenteeism. The
respondents felt that the leave facilities provided were not adequate. Management in this
regard has to identify the ways by which leave facilities could be improved without disturbing
the regular schedule of work, by giving restricted holidays, by increasing the number of paid
holidays etc. Therefore, the management may formulate strategies based on the Workers’
Participation in Management bill or prepare a tailor-made guideline for the extent of
participation by the workers in the management decisions because when decision marker
execute, the execution proves worthy.

Jayarathna (2014) Conducted research on the Effect Of Employee Work Related attitudes on
Employee job performance. The objective of the research was to
a) To identify the relationship between job satisfaction and job performance employees
of tertiary and vocational education sector in Sri Lanka.
b) To identify the relationship between organizational commitment and job performance
employees of tertiary and vocational education sector in Sri Lanka.
c) To identify the relationship between job involvement and job performance employees
of tertiary and vocational education sector in Sri Lanka
This study was purely based on primary data. The survey method characterized by personally
administered questionnaires was selected as the method of data collection in this study. Five
point Likert scale was used to weight from strongly disagree to strongly agree. In order to
measure the work related attitudes, and job performance, the questionnaire. The research
showed that the respondents were committed to organization.
The negative attitude of the employees towards the supervisor or the manager affects the
effectiveness of the workplace and decreases the efficiency of the concerned association. The
engagements of the workforce are very imperative for the evaluation of the company
procedures for the concerned firms. Moreover, there are two of the diverse aspects of the
managerial behavior such as the satisfaction of the employees and the dissatisfaction of the
employees regarding the job they posses. The past researchers have significantly brought up
the fact that there are different ways for enhancing the satisfaction of the employees, which
helps in retaining the old employees within the firm (Fernandez, 2013).
(Maslow, 1943)Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory states that people have a pyramid
hierarchy of needs that they will satisfy from bottom to top. Starting from mere physiological
subsistence the Maslow hierarchy of needs covers belonging to a social circle to pursuing
your talent through self-actualization. Important to the hierarchy of needs theory is that
Maslow felt that unfulfilled needs lower on the ladder would inhibit the person from climbing
to the next step. The pyramid of needs is divided into two categories: deficiency needs
(physiological and safety) and growth needs (belonging, self-esteem and self-actualization). If
the deficiency needs are not satisfied, the person will feel the deficit and this will stifle his or
her development.
19
Hygiene factors: Hygiene factors are those job factors, which are essential for existence of
motivation at workplace. These do not lead to positive satisfaction for long-term. However, if
these factors are absent / if these factors are non-existent at workplace, then they lead to
dissatisfaction. In other words, hygiene factors are those factors, which when
adequate/reasonable in a job, pacify the employees and do not make them dissatisfied. These
factors are extrinsic to work. Hygiene factors are also called as dissatisfies or maintenance
factors, as they are required to avoid dissatisfaction.
According to (Adam's, 1965)When people feel fairly or advantageously treated they are more
likely to be motivated; when they feel unfairly treated they are highly prone to feelings of
disaffection and demotivation. The way that people measure this sense of fairness is at the
heart of Equity Theory. Equity, and therefore the motivational situation we aim to assess
using the model, is not dependent on the extent to which a person believes reward exceeds
effort, nor even necessarily on the belief that reward exceeds effort at all. Rather, Equity, and
the sense of fairness which commonly underpins motivation, is dependent on the comparison
a person makes between his or her reward/investment ratio with the ratio enjoyed (or
suffered) by others considered to be in a similar situation.
According to Locke (1976) people represent a negative life event as saying something about
their current state, their actual self now. This actual self is compared with their self-guides,
the kind of person they want or desire to be (e.g., going to a good college, having a good
marriage). When there is a discrepancy between individuals’ actual self and their self-guides,
a self-discrepancy, people suffer emotionally. When the actual self is discrepant from an
ideal, people feel sad, disappointed, discouraged— dejection-related emotions that relate to
depression. When the actual self is discrepant from an ought, to, people feel nervous, tense,
20
According to Bandura(1978) people learn from one another, via observation, imitation, and
modeling. The theory has often been called a bridge between behaviorist and cognitive
learning theories because it encompasses attention, memory, and motivation.
There have been many studies on the topic of job satisfaction and its effect in employee
attitudes. The review of the article discusses about the factor that affects job satisfaction such
as internal factors and external factors. It has only stated that this factor affects employee’s
satisfaction level however, it has not stated what changes employees’ attitude towards
manager and what role does manager play in maintain positive attitude of the employees.

Development
Employee development is defined as a process where the employee with the support of
his/her employer undergoes various training programs to enhance his/her skills and acquire
new knowledge and skills. In today’s work environment, employee development is the
number 1 factor for employee retention, especially among Millennials. Top employee
development methods used by organizations most frequently include training programs and
leadership development programs. Investments in employee learning and development
directly affect employee engagement and productivity, improving overall business success
metrics.
Supervisory Support
Supervisory Support is defined as the extent to which leaders value their employees’
contributions and care about their well-being. A leader with high supervisor support is one
that makes employees feel heard, valued, and cared about. Supervisory support
Encourages employees to develop a social aspect to their job may increase satisfaction as well
as develop a sense of teamwork. Co-worker relationships will benefit the organization as a
whole since teamwork is a very important aspect of organization productivity and
success. Moreover, when people are allowed to develop work relationships they care more
about pulling their own weight and not letting co-workers down. Employee involvement
groups are a great way to help employees interact with individuals outside their department or
organization.
Reward
A systematic approach to employee rewarding is a part of corporate strategy, which stands for
continual rising of the performance level for the whole company, a workgroup, a company
unit, and individuals. It requires establishing an accurate system of employee performance
monitoring. In a more advanced meaning employee, rewarding combines the features of all
other remuneration types:
Intrinsic
Intrinsic is a stimulation that drives an individual to adopt or change their behavior for his or
her own internal satisfaction or fulfillment. Intrinsic motivation is usually self-applied, and
springs from a direct relationship between the individual and the situation. It is very important
factor in the design of a learning or training course. When intrinsically motivated, a person is
moved to act for the fun or challenge entailed rather than because of external products,
pressures, or rewards….In Self-Determination Theory, we distinguish between different types
of motivation based on the different reason or goals that give rise to an action.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology are the models, procedures and techniques used to find the result of
research question.
The study was conducted using convenience sampling of non-probability sample method to
collect samples for the study and it would be the best option as there is a short span of time
available for the survey. The primary data will be collected through a questionnaire.
In the study, the data will be collected through primary source using non-probability,
convenience-sampling method through structured questionnaire, which includes a list of
questions; prepared focusing on factors affecting consumer-buying behavior of leather jacket
and the data collection would be completed with the respondent filling up the questionnaire.
The collected data will be analyzed from SPSS using the descriptive statistics (mean, median,
and mode), correlation and regression analysis for the study.
The sample size of the study was taken according to Enumeration method. According to this,
N is the total population i.e. 103, 103 respondents were taken as sample for the study.
xxv
The collected data was arranged and managed through Statistical Package for Social Science
(SPSS) software and analyzed using the descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation), Co-
relation analysis for the study and the results were interpreted with the help of various tables.
The present research was conducted taking all the ethical consideration in mind. The
researcher had informed all the participants of research about the aims and objectives of the
research before collecting the data. The data and information were collected without
controlling any variables or changing the environment. Situation was described as it exists
and also the confidentiality of the data was maintained. The research has been conducted as
per the rules and regulation.
The validity and reliability of the questionnaire has been accomplished using SPSS software.
In order to measure the reliability of the questionnaire, pilot test had been conducted among
10 respondents using Cronbach’s Alpha. The value of Cronbach’s Alpha based on
standardized item is 0.7382. According to Chawla and Sondhi (2011),0.70< α <0.80 implies
that there is good reliability between various items of a multiple item scale.
The value of Cronbach’s Alpha was .769 for 26 items. Thus, the data was reliable at good
level.

CHAPTER V
The report is based on the study of different factors of employee job satisfaction and the
employees attitude. The purpose of the study was to identify the various factors affecting
employeee attitude towards manager in the case of "Everest English School". For the study, a
26-item (5 point Likert scale) online questionnaire was used and the sample was taken from
103 population using convenience sampling technique. The study showed that female
respondents were higher than the male respondents and most of the respondents fall in the age
group 26-36. Majority of the respondents has the expereience above 8 years and the income
25000-50000 .
For this study, five independent variables were identified that affect the employee job
satisfation: Intrinsic, reward, supervisory support, development and working environment.
From the results obtained through descriptive statistics, among the five factors, Supervisory
support was found to be the most influential factor affecting employee attitude towards
manager with the mean score of 4.1263 and Intrinsic was found to be the least influential
factor affecting employee attitude with the lowest mean of 3.8738. Working Environment
was also found to be affected by quality of information with the second highest mean of
34.10356 .Development with the mean of 3.92 and Reward with the mean of 3.9098.
From the correlation analysis, it was found that there was significant relationship between
employee job satisfaction and employee attitude towards manager. Similarly intrinisc,
Working Environment, Development and Reward were also found to have significant
relationship with the Employee attitude towards manager. Hence, this research suggests that
supervisory support is the most important factor that influence employee attitude towards
manager. In the case of Everest English School. Similarly, Working Environment is the
second most influential factor. The third influential factor is Development followed by
Reward and Intrinisc.

5.2 Discussion
This section aims to examine whether the findings of this report are consistent or inconsistent
with the literature articles discussed in the second chapter. The study conducted in previous
researches by other researchers also has these similar elements (intrinsic, supervisory support,
reward, development and working environment) as their independent variables for
determining attitude. This research study shows that these independent variables are
influential factors for employees attitude.
The current study showed that the independent variables intrinsic, supervisory support,
reward, development and working environment are significant factors affecting employee
attitude which is in line with the study of (Susanty, 2013). Similarly, the current study is also
similar to the findings of Srivastav (2013) which suggest that the independent variables
mentioned in the study are significant and positively affect the employee attitude towards the
company.
The findings in this study suggest that supervisory support is the most influential factor
affecting employee attitude towards manager. which is in line with the study of (Kim, 2008)
which suggests supervisory support has stronger effect on employee attitude with path
coefficient of 0.412 as it builds employee satisfaction which ultimately results in positive
attitude towards company and manager in research, therefore, further proves the earlier
findings that showed respondents who are satisfied with their job helps to promote and build
positive atmosphere in the company.
Similarly, the result depicted in this study is in line with the study of (Jain D. R., 2014) which
suggests that working environment is an important factor of job satisfaction, job attitude ,employee
performance and employee loyalty.. The study proposes that working environment plays an indirect
effect on employee loyalty through employee attitude and employee satisfaction that is normally
underestimated. However, this study does not concern with employee performance, employee
motivation and employee attitude.
The result of this study is not in line with the study of Akafo ( 2015)which suggest that employee
reward is the most powerful and influential factor affecting employee attitude . However, the current
study revealed that supervisory support is the most influential factor for builiding employee positive
attitude. Although, the result are different, both the study

show that supervisory support and reward has significant relationship with employee attitude
towards manager.
5.4 Conclusion

satisfation and the attitude toward the employees and to associate it with demographic
variables. The result implicates that supervisory support is the major factor that influences the
the attitude of employees towards organization and also shows that there is no any
significance relationship between demographic characteristics and employee job satisfaction.
