Abstract
Job satisfaction is a general attitude towards one’s job, the difference between
the amount of reward workers receive and the amount they believe they should
receive. Employee is a back bone of every organization, without employee no work
can be done. So employee’s satisfaction is very important. Employees will be more
satisfied if they get what they expected, job satisfaction relates to inner feelings of
workers. As Dindigul district is famous for Spinning Mill industries, the main aim of
this study is to analyze the satisfaction level of spinning mill employees. Chi-Square
test, ANOVA, Correlation Analysis and percentage analysis have been used in this
study to analyze the research variables and hypothesis. The study shows that only 49
per cent were being satisfied for getting equal payment for their equal work, 64 per
cent of the respondents were being satisfied about the relationship with their
superiors in the present working industrial concerns, 15 per cent of the respondents
were neutral as well as strongly dis-agree about the professionalism among their co-
workers, and 11 per cent of the respondents were strongly agreed about the
satisfaction level towards appropriate recognitions. The organization may give
importance to certain factors such as canteen, rest room facilities, rewards, and
recognition and promotion policy so that satisfaction of the employees may be
improved further.

such as general well-being, stress at work, control at work, home-work interface, and
working conditions
Tahere (2012) this paper was related to the job satisfaction, motivation and
organizational commitment of the employees in the hospital industry. The results
showed a significant correlation between job experience and satisfaction and
organizational commitment; but, no correlation was could be seen between job
motivation and organizational commitment. This study has helped to create better job
roles and designs in the hospital industry.
Kanika (et.al) (2017) tried to find out the relation of job satisfaction with
employee experience and the impact of employee experience on job satisfaction. Data
has been collected by questionnaire method with a sample size of 40. The respondents
were employees of various companies aging between 25-40 years. A correlation and
regression test was done. The hypothesis was true that there is a relation between job
satisfaction and employee experience.
Agrawal (et.al) (2015) in a research work with many potential causal models,
explain this correlation, one possibility is that the satisfaction-performance
relationship is actually spurious, advocating the correlation is due to common causes
of both constructs. Common causes in this study include the job complexity and
cognitive ability, in association with the personality traits, like Conscientiousness,
Extraversion, Agreeableness, and core self-evaluations. The meta-analytic correlation
matrix, through its structural equation modeling, suggests a residual correlation of .16
between job satisfaction and performance.
III Research Methodology
Job satisfaction is a very important attribute which is frequently measured by
organizations. The most common way of measurement is the use of rating scales
where employees report their reactions to their jobs.
Title of the Study
The title of the study is “A Study on Job Satisfaction among the Employees in
Sri Matha Spinning Mills Private Limited, Dindigul”.

Sampling Design
Simple random sampling technique was used to select the respondents from
the study area. The industry which was located in rural area. Majority of the
respondents were belongs to rural area only. The workers (75 out of 390) were chosen
for the present study in the select district.
Techniques for Analysis
The data collected from the primary and secondary sources. The primary data
were analysed with the help of simple statistical tools such as percentage analysis, and
to test the hypothesis the statistical tools were used like Correlation Analysis, Chi-

square test and ANOVA with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences
(SPSS).
Period for the Study
The primary data were collected from February 2019 to March 2019. The
secondary data which covers for the period for the period upto past five years.
Nature of the Study
This study is an analytical in nature
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The scope of the study consists of data collection from the employees of Sri

provided by Sri Matha Spinning Mills Private Limited to motivate employees and to
know the benefits they are getting and the study also covered the suggestions given by
the employees to motivate them.
However, the study has some limitations. As the researcher has collected the
reviews from the past years from the secondary sources, the weaknesses associated
with secondary data may be found in this study also. Due to time and resource
constraints the study was limited to Nilakkottai Taluk in Dindigul district only.
Therefore, the weakness associated with the findings and conclusions of the study are
valid to the study area only. The generalisation of the findings of this study to other
areas may be taken cautiously.
Chapterisation
The project is divided into five chapters. The first chapter deals with the
introduction of the topic. The second chapter focuses on the reviews related to the
topic. The third chapter focuses statement of the problem, issues, objectives,
hypotheses, methodology, scope, and limitations. The fourth chapter presents
analysis and interpretation based on socio-economic & employment conditions,
employment background of the respondents and statistical analysis, finally the last
chapter provides major findings of the study and conclusion.

hypothesis, indicates about the significance difference between gender of the
respondents and their satisfied with the regular assigned activities, but the statistical
analysis reveals the negative impact on the variables between gender & regular
assigned activities. The results indicates (r = -.118, n = 75, p = .315>.005). From the
above results, the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis framed as
there is no significant difference between gender of the respondents and their satisfied
with the regular assigned activities.
The second hypothesis highlights, there is a significance difference between
genders of the respondents and their satisfied gives me overall job security. The
results indicates (r = -.132, n = 75, p = .259>.005). From the discussion, the null
hypothesis is rejected, the alternative hypothesis framed as there is no significant
difference between gender of the respondents and satisfied gives me overall job
security. The third hypothesis enumerates there is a significant difference between
gender of the respondents and their work accomplishment. The results shows (r = -
.061, n = 75, p = .606>.005). From the discussion, the null hypothesis is rejected, the
alternative hypothesis framed as there is no significant difference between gender of

variable. According to the statistical analysis of the first variable, the attitude towards
equal payment for equal work resulted the value of F is 2.664, which reaches
significance with a p-value of .039 (which is less than the .05 alpha levels). The
results shown as F (4,70) = 2.664, p = <0.039. From this evidence, it is statistically
significant and the null hypothesis accepted as well as, it is concluded that, there is no
significant difference towards, equal payment for equal work.
The second dependent variable highlights the attitude of receiving bonus. The

the every individual. For that the management can place suggestion box in
every department.

to come up in their performance by the way of providing effective training to
those particular persons. Through that they also should attain the high level of
job satisfaction.
iii. Working atmosphere may be improved to maximum level.
iv. The management may enquire the employees about their level of satisfaction
now and then.
v. Team work and employee motivation may be improved to the further.
vi. Qualitative and enough safety measures may be provided to the employees.
vii. They should have enough techniques and knowledge to protect themselves
from dangers.
viii. Company should provide all the necessary resources (information, tools,
equipments etc.) to the employees to perform their duties efficiently and
effectively.
ix. Promotion structure should be rearranged. Manager should give more
priorities on performance and efforts rather than on their personal
characteristics.
