List Of Figures
Specific measures are used to meet the objectives of the study. First data is collected from
primary and secondary sources. Primary sources are JBC employee‘s survey and official records.
Secondary sources are annual report of different years, online articles, and previous reports o this
study. For research purposes, random sampling method has been taken. Based on the gathered
data during the study period findings are summed up to meet objectives. This study investigates
the employee‘s satisfaction of Jiban Bima Corporation. A questionnaire was utilized to collect
primary data from the employees working in JBC. The first part of the questionnaire comprises
of the demographic profile of the respondent and the last part indicates the key measuring
variables on a Likert scale ranging from 5 (strongly satisfied) to 1 (strongly dissatisfied) of
employee satisfaction. This study postulates that employees of JBC have positive as well as
negative feelings. Many factors such as basic pay, bonuses, and various allowances determine
their satisfaction.
To measure satisfaction level of the employees, average of the likert scale has been calculated
and then their satisfaction level has been found. The influence of the individual variable on the
overall satisfaction level has also determined in percentage. It is found that overall satisfaction
level is above average of the employees of JBC.
Internship plays a pivotal role for any professional degree. The primary goal of internship is to
provide an on the job exposure to the student and an opportunity to translate the theoretical
conceptions in real life situation. The study will help formulate suitable policies taking into
consideration different ideas, suggestions and feelings of the employee. Jiban Bima Corporation
is a state owned insurance company in Bangladesh. It has a vital contribution towards security
and investment in economy. Jiban Bima Corporation has been participating in all sectors from
industrial sector to corporate sector. In this report, I have tried to represent all the activities I
observed related to employee satisfaction on compensation system of Jiban Bima Corporation.
Time constraint: The tenure of the Practical Orientation program is only three months. So,
limited time factor in writing this report is the main hindrance.
Pandemic Situations: Due to pandemic, I couldn‘t survey physically which may somewhat
affect the results.
Apathy to fill the questionnaire: Not all the respondents were expected to participate in the
study. So, I cannot survey on large population.
Darma and Supriyonto (December 5, 2017) studied on "The effect of compensation on employee
satisfaction and employee performance‖ where they tried to determine the effect of
compensation on employee satisfaction and employee performance and employee satisfaction to
mediate the effect of compensation on employee performance. The research objects are
employees of PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia. This Study showed that compensation effects on
employee satisfaction and employee performance at PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia. Employee
satisfaction can mediate the effect of compensation on employee performance.
Morgeson, Campion & Maertz (2001) studied on " Understanding Pay Satisfaction: The Limits
of a Compensation System Implementation" where they tried to investigate the impact of
compensation system implementation on employee satisfaction and limitation of compensation
system. As one type of intervention, job evaluation usually includes substantial employee
participation in order to improve employee pay satisfaction. This assumption, however, is rarely
validated. To address this weakness, this study examines, in a quasi-experimental field study at a
manufacturing firm (N = 168), the extent to which participation in the job evaluation process
during a compensation system implementation influences pay satisfaction.
CURRALL, TOWLER, JUDGE & KOHN (2005) studied on "PAY SATISFACTION AND
ORGANIZATIONAL OUTCOMES", where they used multi-level and multi method data, and
investigated the relationship between pay satisfaction and outcomes at the organizational level of
analysis. They were collected Individual‐level survey data on pay satisfaction (including
satisfaction with pay level, satisfaction with pay structure, satisfaction with pay raises, and
benefits) from 6,394 public school teachers. Organizational‐level outcome data, both survey and
archival, were collected from the 117 public school districts employing these teachers. This
study showed that influence on organizational outcomes and pay satisfaction was positively

related to school district‐level academic performance. They also explored the relationship
between district‐level union satisfaction and pay satisfaction, which was found to be positive.
Roland & Theriault (1976) studied on "The determinants of pay satisfaction."They conducted
this study to test empirically (a) the utility of a model of the determinants of pay satisfaction
developed by E. E. Lawler (1971) and (b) the value of adding to this model a category of
variables not previously included: perceptions of pay-system administration. The study was
conducted among 180 US, 133 French-Canadian, and 79 English-Canadian managers. This study
provide some support for the utility of Lawler's model and additional support for the value of
adding the administrative-type variables.
Shahrestani, Shahin, Teimouri and Barzoki (2019) studied on "Revising the Kano model for
designing an employee compensation system: Developing one-dimensional attributes." The
purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to revise the Kano model with a focus on one-dimensional
attributes; and second, to use the revised model for categorizing and prioritizing various
employee compensation strategies. Findings of this study indicated that out of the 44 employee
compensation strategies, typically 6 were must-be, 13 were one-dimensional, 18 were attractive
and 7 were indifferent. Also, the results of the revised Kano model indicated that typically out of
the 13 one-dimensional strategies, 7 were one-dimensional tending toward must-be (OM); and 6
were one-dimensional tending toward attractive.
2.1. Satisfaction
Satisfaction is the act of fulfilling a need, desire, or appetite, or the feeling gained from such
fulfillment. Satisfaction means you‘ve had enough — in a good way. When a product says
"Satisfaction guaranteed" it means you‘ll like it or they'll give you your money back. A good
meal provides satisfaction of your hunger. When you graduate from school or get a good job,
you have a feeling of satisfaction. This term once meant an act of atonement assigned by a priest
to make up for a sin. When something is explained well, it was explained to your satisfaction.
Satisfaction researchers tend to differentiate between affective satisfaction and cognitive job
satisfaction – affective satisfaction is the sum total of pleasurable emotions and feelings
associated with the job and its place in the individual‘s life, whereas cognitive satisfaction refers
to rational satisfaction over particular facets of the job e.g. pay and day-to-day responsibilities.
There are a wide variety of theories surrounding employee satisfaction. Dispositional theory, for
example, argues that individuals are predisposed to a certain level of job satisfaction regardless
of the job or industry. Range of Affect Theory, put forward by Edwin A. Locke in the 1970s, is a
theory based on expectations – satisfaction depends on the gap between what an employee
expects from a job and what they actually get.
Job satisfaction or employee satisfaction is a measure of workers' contentedness with their job,
whether they like the job or individual aspects or facets of jobs, such as nature of work or
supervision.[Job satisfaction can be measured in cognitive (evaluative), affective (or emotional),
and behavioral components.Researchers have also noted that job satisfaction measures vary in
the extent to which they measure feelings about the job (affective job satisfaction). or cognitions
about the job (cognitive job satisfaction).
Hoppock offered one of the earliest definitions of job satisfaction when he described the
construct as being any number of psychological, physiological, and environmental circumstances
which leads a person to express satisfaction with their job. Smith et al. (1969) defined job
satisfaction as the feeling an individual has about his or her job. Locke (1969) suggested that job
satisfaction was a positive or pleasurable reaction resulting from the appraisal of one‘s job, job
achievement, or job experiences.
Vroom (1982) defined job satisfaction as workers‘ emotional orientation toward their current job
roles. Similarly, Schultz (1982) stated that job satisfaction is essentially the psychological
disposition of people toward their work.
Job satisfaction is also important in everyday life. Organizations have significant effects on the
people who work for them and some of those effects are reflected in how people feel about their
work. This makes job satisfaction an issue of substantial importance for both employers and
employees.
As many studies suggest, employers benefit from satisfied employees as they are more likely to
profit from lower staff turnover and higher productivity if their employees experience a high
level of job satisfaction. However, employees should also ‗be happy in their work, given the
amount of time they have to devote to it throughout their working lives‘.
1. Grievance-Handling Procedure:
It is desirable that the complaints of the workers are heard patiently and the problems solved as
far as possible. Factories in which the workers‘ demands/ grievances are not handled properly
suffer because the workers lose confidence in the manage-ment and become frustrated.
2. Satisfactory Future:
Every worker is definitely concerned about his/her future prospects. If the factory rules clearly
lay down the conditions for promotion and advancement, and if the worker gets the expected
If on the other hand, the worker feels that even good work will not be rewarded, then he/she
becomes frustrated and slack in his/her work.
Every worker, whether in a factory or in an office, desires that he/she should be paid according
to his/her ability. If he/she has undergone some new training or has increased his/her ability to
work in some way, then he/she should be com-pensated for his/her better ability through a rise in
salary.
Organizations in which the manage-ment keeps an eye on the ability and progress of its workers
normally provide a high degree of job satisfaction to their workers. It is necessary that the
management should give the workers some opportunity of progressing higher and higher.
Generally speaking, a worker working under a particular set of conditions is best qualified to say
how and where improvements can be made. If workers are encouraged to suggest ways and
means of improving productivity and the conditions of work, they often come with very valuable
ideas.
This helps in increasing job satisfaction because when the worker is praised for giving a good
practical idea, he/she tends to pay more attention to his/her work in order to win more praise. If
suggestions are neglected, then the worker feels dissatisfied and over a period of time his/her
creativity is killed.
In every organization, the manager or the supervisor has to offer critical comments of the work
performed by the worker because he/ she must point out the worker‘s mistakes and try to
eliminate them. If this criticism is offered in a cordial and friendly way, more as a suggestion
than criticism, then his/her job satisfaction is also thereby maintained. But if the worker is
humiliated or bitterly criticized for his/her mistakes, then he/she loses his/her peace of mind.
Rules governing increases in salary should be clear and explicit and should be acted upon
impartially and regularly. If the worker gets the anticipated increase in salary at the right time,
then he/she feels satisfied with his/her job. If this does not happen, then dissatisfaction is the
result. Increase in salary is, in fact, the most important factor in job satisfaction.
If workers are not praised for exceptional performance in their work, then they lose interest in it
and as a result, the organization suffers. Generally, the worker prefers to work well and remain
occupied than merely to pass the time allotted to him/her.
In every organization, some people get retired after com-pletion of their service period, leaving
scope for promotion for the junior employees. If promotion is based upon the ability of the
worker, then the worker‘s mental satisfaction is maintained. If, on the other hand, promotion
depends upon other factors such as casteism and personal favor, then the workers interest in
his/her work declines.
If job satisfaction is to be maintained, it is essential that the expected quantity of work does not
exceed the individual‘s ability to complete it. If he/she has to work more than he/she comfortably
can for a long time, then he/she is bound to become disgusted, depressed and tired.
Labor unions in almost every industry are demanding that there should be equal pay for equal
work. In any factory or office, a worker must be paid as much as other workers are being paid in
his/her or other organizations for similar work. The worker feels satisfied if this equality is
maintained. If it is not, then the worker loses his/her satisfaction.
Very often the worker is faced by problems in his/her work that he/she cannot solve alone. In
such a case, he/she should be free to seek help and guidance from other workers or his/her
superiors. If it is so, then the worker gets more job satisfaction.
No individual wants to sacrifice his/ her self-respect. If the worker is unnecessarily shown
disrespect or abused, then he/she quickly becomes dissatisfied. Hence, he/she should be
protected from useless interruptions and criticism.
The hours of work in any factory or office should be convenient and so arranged as to offer the
least possible inconvenience to the largest number of employ-ees. If this is not looked into, the
workers become dissatisfied.
In every industrial organization, the workers should be given the proper amount of rest and
holidays on festivals and other occasions of social celebrations. Nowadays, workers are allowed
to avail themselves of around 10 casual leaves and 30 earned leaves every year in addition to the
weekly holiday.
It is evident from this description of factors influencing job satisfaction that it necessitates the
creation of certain conditions of work. Different factors may be important in different situations.
An increase in wages is a common factor which is important everywhere.
Other job satisfaction questionnaires include- the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ),
the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) and the Faces Scale. The MSQ measures job satisfaction in 20
facets and has a long form with 100 questions (five items from each facet) and a short form with
20 questions (one item from each facet).
The JSS is a 36 item questionnaire that measures nine facets of job satisfaction. Finally, the
Faces Scale of job satisfaction, one of the first scales used widely, measured overall job
satisfaction with just one item which participants respond to by choosing a face.
Hierarchy of needs
Although commonly known in the human motivation literature, Maslow‘s [7] needs hierarchy
theory was one of the first theories to examine the important contributors to job satisfaction. The
theory suggests that human needs form a five-level hierarchy (Figure 1) consisting of:
physiological needs, safety, belongingness/love, esteem, and self-actualization. Maslow‘s
hierarchy of needs postulates that there are essential needs that need to be met first (such as,
Self- Actualisation
Esteem
Belonging
safety
Physological Needs
Maslow‘s needs hierarchy was developed to explain human motivation in general. However, its
main tenants are applicable to the work setting, and have been used to explain job satisfaction.
Within an organization, financial compensation and healthcare are some of the benefits which
help an employee meet their basic physiological needs. Safety needs can manifest itself through
employees feeling physically safe in their work environment, as well as job security and/ or
having suitable company structures and policies. When this is satisfied, the employee‘s can focus
on feeling as though they belong to the workplace. This can come in the form of positive
relationships with colleagues and supervisors in the workplace, and whether or not they feel they
are a part of their team/ organization. Once satisfied, the employee will seek to feel as though
they are valued and appreciated by their colleagues and their organization. The final step is
where the employee seeks to self-actualize; where they need to grow and develop in order to
become everything they are capable of becoming. Although it could be seen as separate, the
progressions from one step to the next all contribute to the process of self-actualization.
Therefore, organizations looking to improve employee job satisfaction should attempt to meet
the basic needs of employees before progressing to address higher-order needs. However, more
Motivator-Hygiene Theory
Herzberg‘s motivator-hygiene theory suggests that job satisfaction and dissatisfaction are not
two opposite ends of the same continuum, but instead are two separate and, at times, even
unrelated concepts. ‗Motivating‘ factors like pay and benefits, recognition and achievement need
to be met in order for an employee to be satisfied with work. On the other hand, ‗hygiene‘ factors
(such as, working conditions, company policies and structure, job security, interaction with
colleagues and quality of management) are associated with job dissatisfaction.
Dissatisfied
Neutral Satisfied
Because both the hygiene and motivational factors are viewed as independent, it is possible that
employees are neither satisfied nor dissatisfied. This theory postulates that when hygiene factors
are low the employee is dissatisfied, but when these factors are high it means the employee is not
dissatisfied (or neutral), but not necessarily satisfied. Whether or not an employee is satisfied is
dependent on the motivator factors. Moreover, it is thought that when motivators are met the
employee is thought to be satisfied. This separation may aid in accounting for the complexity of
an employee‘s feelings, as they might feel both satisfied and dissatisfied at the same time; or
neither satisfied nor dissatisfied.
Dispositional approach
This dispositional approach suggests that job satisfaction is closely related to personality. It
postulates that an individual has a strong predisposition towards a certain level of satisfaction,
and that these remain fairly constant and stable across time [24]. The evidence for this approach
can be divided into indirect studies and direct studies. Judge and colleagues [10] [25] have
reviewed these areas in greater detail.
The indirect evidence comes from studies that do not explicitly measure personality. Data from
the National Longitudinal Studies in the United States found that measures of job satisfaction
tend to remain fairly stable over 2, 3 and 5 year periods [26]. This even includes significant
employment changes, such as: changes in employer or occupation. Interestingly, a twin based
study [27] examined 34 twins whom had been raised independently of one another. This study
found genetic factors accounted for 30% of job satisfaction levels when assessed in later life.
The indirect studies, however, are vulnerable to a number of important criticisms, namely that
other unaccounted factors might be contributing to job satisfaction levels [28]. This highlights
the respective importance of studies directly assessing the role of personality. Most prominently,
there is research evidence that self-esteem, self-efficacy, emotional stability and locus of control
comprise a broad personality construct, which contribute to how an individual sees themselves
[24]. A review of 169 correlations between each of four affective constructs (i.e., self-esteem,
self-efficacy, emotional stability and locus of control) and job satisfaction, found that as self-
reported levels of self-esteem, self-efficacy, emotion stability and locus of control increased so
did job satisfaction [29]. Similarly, investigations into the link between the five factor model of
personality and job satisfaction revealed neuroticism, conscientiousness and extraversion to have
a moderate relationships with job satisfaction [30].
Insurance companies that had business in East Pakistan was 75, of which 10 were locally
incorporated ones. Following the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, both life and general
insurance business in the country was nationalized under the Bangladesh Insurance
(Nationalisation) Order 1972 except foreign insurance companies. Five corporations were
established to absorb, own and control the businesses of the 75 existing insurance companies and
these new corporations were Bangladesh Jatiya Bima Corporation, Karnafuli Bima Corporation,
Tista Bima Corporation, Surma Jiban Bima Corporation and Rupsa Jiban Bima Corporation.
These four corporations were in business from 1 January 1973 to 14 May 1973. On 14 May
1973, the Bangladesh government dissolved the Jatiya Bima Corporation and integrated the
general and life insurance companies into two corporations, and accordingly all the undertakings
of Karnafuli and Teesta were vested in the Sadharan (General) Bima Corporation with Golam
Mowla as the first managing director. Surma and Rupsa Jiban Bima Corporations were vested in
the Bangladesh Jiban Bima Corporation (Bangladesh Life Insurance Corporation) (BJBC) with
Khuda Buksh as the first managing director.
In 1998, the corporation earned gross premiums of Tk 1,402.8 million, which comprised firstyear
premiums (Tk 401.2 million), renewal premiums (Tk 913.0 million), and group insurance
premiums (Tk 88.6 million). It paid Tk 493.7 million to settle life insurance claims under various
schemes. Business management expenses of the corporation stood at Tk 629.2 million and it
earned operating profits of Tk 279.9 million. The net incomes from its investments and other
sources were Tk 189.2 million.
At the end of the year 1998, the corporation had 315,735 individual life policies in force with a
sum assured of Tk 23,742 million. Of these policies 310,555 with an amount assured of Tk
23,727.4 million were underwritten by the corporation itself and the remaining, with a sum
17 Measuring employee’s pay satisfaction : A Study on Jiban Bima Corporation |
assured of Tk 14.6 million, were underwritten by the company's old units. Conversely, a total
number of 43,641 individual policies with a sum assured of Tk 3,047.0 million were lapsed
during the year.
Premium income of the corporation was Tk 2,447 million in 2007 marking an increase 63% over
premium income in 2001. Following is an account of the gross premium income structure,
proportion among expenses, operating profit and net income, types of policies sold and the sums
assured by types, and the management structure of the corporation presented for the year 1998.
The figures are representative enough since although the absolute figures have changed over
time, the relative proportions remained the same.
Until 1985, the JBC was the only institution to handle life insurance business in Bangladesh.
Through the Insurance (Amendment) Ordinance 1984 and Insurance Corporations (Amendment)
Ordinance 1984, the government allowed the private sector to establish insurance companies. Up
to December 2000, at least 17 private sector insurance companies came into being and made the
life insurance business competitive. In 2015 the number of private life insurance companies in
Bangladesh has reached at 30. The JBC offers 15 different types of life insurance schemes.
These are whole life assurance, endowment assurance, child protection policy, children
endowment, anticipated endowment assurance, pension scheme policy, single payment policy,
mortgage protection policy, group term insurance policy, group endowment policy, group
variable endowment policy, group pension policy, grameen bima policy, joint life endowment
policy, and progressive premium policy.

The JBC currently offers the following types of life insurance schemes:
1975–1977
In 1973 and 1974, the JBC sold 41,812 and 36,000 life insurance policies with a total assured
sum of Tk 397.7 and Tk. 400 million respectively. In 1973 and 1974 the JBC earned gross
premiums of Tk. 58 million and Tk. 67.6 million which comprised first year premiums
(including group) Tk. 22.7 million and Tk. 29.6 million, renewal premiums Tk. 35.3 million and
21 Measuring employee’s pay satisfaction : A Study on Jiban Bima Corporation |
Tk. 37 million respectively. The JBC inherited an outstanding claim of Tk.50 million at the time
of its inception. It has settled all the claims by 31 October 1974.
1999–2012
In 1998, the JBC earned gross premiums of Tk. 1,402.8 million, which comprised first-year
premiums (Tk. 401.2 million), renewal premiums (Tk. 913.0 million), and group insurance
premiums (Tk. 88.6 million). It paid Tk. 493.7 million to settle life insurance claims under
various schemes. Premium income of the corporation was Tk. 2,447 million in 2007 marking an
increase 63% over premium income in 2001The JBC has the largest network all over the country
with 7 regional, 9 zonal, 68 sales and 343 branch offices.
2012–2014
The life fund of Jiban Bima Corporation has increased to TK. 14988.3 million (14.99 billion) in
the year 2013. In the year 2012 the figure was near about 14 billion despite political unrest
throughout the year.
2018–2019
In 2015 it is expected to reach 15.50 billion because the initiatives have been taken to increase
the life insurance penetration rate and new life insurers are expected to introduce new customer
focused products through improved customer services.

Here the above table shows that the highest bar of satisfaction level is moderately satisfied. Then
comes the strongly satisfied. The lowest bar is strongly dissatisfied.
Now it can be seen the influence of individual variable on the overall satisfaction. For this
purpose, the following table is produced:
Allowance (V3)
The overall satisfaction level of the employees is moderately average. So, we can say that
employees are generally satisfied with the compensation system.
Medical facility, Bangla New Year allowances, Conveyance allowances, Tiffin
allowances House rent were the variables that really satisfy the employees of JBC.
But the astonishing fact is that the employees are dissatisfied with the basic salary.
• The study discovered the major areas of satisfaction in various allowances such as Medical
facility, Bangla New Year allowances, Conveyance allowances, Tiffin allowances and House
rent. The major areas of dissatisfaction are with basic salary so the authority should think
positively and take care of it so that the dissatisfaction level can be reduced at least up to an
acceptable level.
•As the employees are generally satisfied with the overall compensation system, they should be
encouraged with more benefits which will ultimately bring advantages to the company.
• Salary in the primary and most important factor for satisfaction. It should be high enough to
maintain the living standard of employees. The authority should consider the salary structure and
benefits should be reasonable and comparable with that of their insurance companies or other
similar institution.
• It should be considered the sense that policy should be applied uniformly to all employees

I joined Jiban Bima Corporation for an internship program. As an intern in the Jiban Bima
corporation, I got a list of tasks to complete every day. To get the marketing initiative started, I
had to meet with clients on almost a daily basis. Sometimes I met around 10 to 20 clients per day
and had to persuade them to consider various insurance scheme that Jibann Bima Corporation
could undertake for them.
From my internship at Jiban Bima Corporation, I was able to get a better understanding of how
the insurance works and how effective it is. I enjoyed working with the Jiban Bima corporation
team to devise and implement different insurance strategies. However, I still have a long way to
go in understanding the aspects of Jiban Bima corporation, and I need to build up my public
speaking skills as well.
