Entering the industry is like a stepping into a New World. At first everything seems
strange but with passage to time one starts understanding all that is happening around
him.
The management sciences gives all the fundamental concepts that are applicable in
market but leaves the individual to work as it application. It is just a matter of applying
the theory you know to give a practical situation. And there is no better place to learn the
market itself.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. One can also define
research as a scientific & systematic search for pertinent information on specific tools. It
is an act of scientific investigation. The Advanced Learners Dictionary of Current
English lays down the meaning of research as “A careful investigation or enquiry
especially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge”. Every research
must have a particular methodology, through which it’s easy to define what the problem
actually is & how can it be solved.
Thus, Research Methodology is a way to systematically solve the problem.

or suggested solutions; making deductions and reaching conclusions; and at last carefully
testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating “Hypothesis”.

- Enunciating the problem,
- Formulating a hypothesis,
SCOPE OF STUDY

TYPES OF RESEARCH
Exploratory Research
Many times a decision-maker is grappling with broad and poorly defines
problems.
Exploratory research uses a less formal approach. It pursues several, possibilities
simultaneously and in a sense it is not quite sure of its objective.
Exploratory research is designed to provide a background, to familiarize and, as the word
implies, just “explore”, the general subject. A part of exploratory research is the
investigation of relationships among variables without knowing why they are studied. It
borders on an, idle curiosity approach, differing from it only in that the investigator
thinks there may be a payoff in the application some where in the forest of questions.
Conclusive research is used for this purpose of testing the hypotheses generated by
exploratory research.
Conclusive research can further be classified as:
Descriptive
Experimental.
Descriptive Research
Descriptive research as the name suggests is designed to describe Something- for
example, the characteristics of users of a given product; the degree to which product
use varies with income, age, sex or other characteristics; or the number who saw a
specific television commercial.
To be of maximum benefit, a descriptive study must only collect data for a definite
purpose.
Descriptive studies vary in the degree to which a specific hypothesis is the guide. It
allows both implicit and explicit hypotheses to be tested depending on the research
problem.
Experimental Research
Experimentation will refer to that process of research in which one or more
variables are manipulated under conditions, which permit the collection of data, which
show the effects.
Experiments will create situation so that a researcher can obtain the particular data
needed and can measure the data accurately.
Experiments are artificial in the sense that the situations are usually created for testing
purposes. This artificiality is the essence of the experimental method.
TYPE OF DATA
Statistical investigation requires systematic collection of data, so that all relevant
groups are represented in the data.
The quality of data will greatly affect the conclusions and hence, utmost importance must
be given to this process and every possible precaution should be taken to ensure
accuracy, while gathering and collecting data.
Depending upon the sources utilized, whether the data has come from actual
observations or from records that are kept for normal purposes, statistical data can be
classified into two categories;
Primary data
Secondary data
PRIMARY DATA
Primary data is one, which is collected by the investigator himself for the purpose
of a specific inquiry or study. Such data is original in character and is generated by
surveys conducted by individuals or research institutions.
Primary data can be obtained by:
Communication
It involves questioning respondents either verbally or in writing. This method is
versatile, since you need only to ask for the information; however, the response may not
be accurate.
Communication usually is quicker and cheaper than observation.
Personal Interviews
Have an interviewer bias that mail-in questionnaires do not have. For example, in
a personal interview the respondent’s perception of the interviewer may affect the
responses.
Questionnaire
The questionnaire is an important tool for gathering primary data. Poorly
constructed questions can result in large errors and invalidate the research data, so
significant effort should be put into the Questionnaire.
SECONDARY DATA
When an investigator uses the data, which has already been collected by others,
such data is called secondary data. This data is primary data for the agency that collects it
and becomes secondary data for someone else who uses this data for his own purposes.
The secondary data can be obtained from journals, reports, government publications,
publication of professional and research organization and so on.
There are several criteria that you should use to evaluate secondary data.
- Whether the data is useful in the research study.
- How current the data is and whether it applies to time period of interest.
- Errors and accuracy - whether the data is dependable and can be verified.
Since my research was of descriptive type and perform surveys, I collected information in
the form of primary data. I obtained primary data by questionnaire method.
I used primary data to obtain the information, which is first hand and original in
character, so as to have fair information
For the better understand of all the activities I have adopted the methodology that include
the study of personnel manual (workmen) of Escorts Ltd, interaction with respective
officers and respective workmen of various plant/ SBU’s and case studies related to labour
case and legal actions.

much is our manpower and what will be our future requirement.
And many more aspects are kept in mind while planning for manpower & this work is
done by the HR-DEPARTMENT.

his/her department/PU in view of company’s business/targets giving proper
justification if any increase or decrease in the manpower needs.

department /PUs and finalize the manpower needs.

RECRUITMENT
Recruitment refers to the process of finding possible candidates for a job or function,
usually undertaken by recruiters. It also may be undertaken by an employment agency or a

PROMOTION/ UPGRADATION
INTRODUCTION
Appraisal is a basic human tendency to make judgements about those who are
working with, as well as about one. Appraisal, it seems, is both inevitable and universal. In
the absence of a carefully structured system of appraisal, people will tend to judge the
work performance of others, including subordinates, naturally, informally and arbitrarily.
The human inclination to judge can create serious motivational, ethical and legal problems
in the workplace. Without a structured appraisal system, there is little chance of ensuring
that the judgements made will be lawful, fair, defensible and accurate.
Performance appraisal systems began as simple methods of income justification. That is,
appraisal was used to decide whether the salary or wage of an individual employee was
justified. There two separate form one for direct and another for indirect workers.

INDUSTRIAL RELATION
CONCEPT
In today’s context, Industrial Relations constitute one of the most delicate and
complex problems of modern Industrial Society. With growing prosperity and rising
wages, workers have gained higher living wages, more education, sophistication and
generally greater awareness about their rights and duties. Therefore, the creation and
maintenance of good relations between the workers, their Union & Management is the
very basis on which the development of an Industrial Democracy depends. It seeks to
gain co-operation of the two partners in industry in the field of Production and promotes
Industrial peace. Good and Healthy Industrial relations means a situation when
requirements of management and the work-force are discussed between them in a spirit
of mutual trust and confidence and without causing friction. Apart from the Union,
workers and the Management, the third important character governing Industrial
relations/peace is the State who through various labour legislations works as the vital
controlling body of the prosperity and growth of Industry & the work-force.
The state tries to regulate the relationship between the labour and management
and keeps an eye on both groups. This relationship is maintained through the
appointment of labour courts, industrial tribunals, wage boards, investigation and enquiry
committees, etc, which lay down principles, norms and rules, regulations and awards
which are placed in the statute books.
1. Responsibilities
2. Discipline
3. Support to line management.
4. Employees Development.
5. Employees Benefits and Welfare.
6. Collective Bargaining, Compensation.
7. Statutory Compliances.
8. Labour and Service case.

Conclusive Research
Exploratory research gives rise to several hypotheses, which have to test for drawing
definite conclusions. These conclusions when tested for validity lay the structure for
decision-making.
Conclusive research is used for this purpose of testing the hypotheses generated by

some attributes of a person may not be readily observable, such as attitudes, awareness,
knowledge, intentions, and motivation. Observation also might take longer since
observers may have to wait for appropriate events to occur, though observation using
scanner data might be quicker and more cost effective. Observation typically is more
accurate than communication.

The momentum and industry is likely to achieve 20% growth in the current
financial year. Exports have also registered growth of around 60% during the first eight
months of FY’07 to 19300 units as compared to 12200 units in the same period last year.
Exports are expected to be mainly driven by multinational tractors manufacturers who
have made Indian an export hub for outsourcing of aggregates and tractors .Hence, the
growth in exports will depend on the level of outsourcing by companies like L&T john
degree and new Holland tractors and some domestic manufacturers like Escorts &
Mahindra & Mahindra, who have adopted aggressive strategy for overseas markets.

Interpretation: The response towards the disciplinary action towards misconduct has
been in the 50:50 Ratio.
The worry for the organisation is that large number of respondents i.e.44% do not
believe in the discipline procedure of the organisation as maintained till now.
The possible reason perceived does the large no of employees in Escorts as well as
large no of workers constitute the workforce.
Until a strict procedure is maintained it is very difficult to take action towards any
misconduct in organisation such as Escorts
13. Escorts strives to the strongest and the most respected engineering company of
the country as per its mission.

environmental protection to the employees and associates in the factory premises.

Interpretation: The data represented above proves the interpretation about Escorts
that it does strongly believe in Employees satisfaction and takes proper care of their
welfare.
Nearly 80% of the responded have highlighted this through their response.
Interpretation: For any company with around such great manpower strength having
nearly 3/4th of the respondents assuring faith in the management system of the
company is a god sign for a further bright future of such organisation.
The interpretation of the data represented from the research conducted can be
analysed as: -
1) The company strongly believes in employees’ welfare and taking sheer care of
their rights and satisfaction in the workplace and the work as such given to them.
2) Company’s appraisal policy, autonomy level given to the employees, welfare
policy, correspondingly gives job satisfaction to the employees
3) The respondents have shown due respect to company’s image and have felt the
presence of its values, believed in its mission to be strongest and the most
respected engineering company of the country and accepted it as a professionally
managed company with a fair good response that makes every one believe in it.
4) The company in the present has been diverting from taking care of its Selection &
Recruitment Policy, Training & Development Policy and laying a proper channel
of communication for the corresponding manpower that it has.
Overall, Escorts can be interpreted having Sound HR policies & IR policies and a
satisfied staff ensuring enough support to the organisation to be one of the most
successful engineering company of the nation.

SUMMARY
SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Recruitment and Selection policy of Escorts Limited is fair enough, as there is both
internal and external recruitment but there is absence of antecedents Verification
in the recruitment process.
Additionally, the SWOT analysis will be more meaningful. If the correct feedback of
swot analysis is shared with the employee in right prospective it would undoubtedly help
to improve the performance of employee and there by enhance the overall performance of
the organisation through swot we can design the training inputs for an employee also
I had gone through the training and development process of the company and
understood the methodology adopted for meeting behavioural and technical
requirement of the employee. However, after the training feedback is taken which
to my opinion is not sufficient and company should focus on the structural
feedback of the individual from their respective department head as to what
improvement the employee has brought at job and in his behaviour.
Escorts management belief to provide safe & healthy atmosphere to the entire team
of Escorts. That is why they provide there employee with facility like
AMBULANCE, SAFETY EQUIPMENT, MEDICAL EXAMINATION. So
there is nothing left to suggest or recommend.
Suggestion scheme is one of the best schemes of Escorts limited it motivates
employee a lot. As it, make employee feel that it is their organisation. Moreover, it
is their responsibility to ensure through their participation and good/valued
suggestions, the growth of the company. The awardees under the suggestion
scheme get monetary benefits and also recognised publicly.
Similarly, the success of any organisation depends on the strong and sound system
and the state of orderliness i.e. the discipline in the organisation. The company has
well defined certified standing orders to maintain discipline in the organisation. It
was observed every one in the organisation rigorously follows the rule and
regulations.
At present, Industrial relations in the company are very stable and healthy. However it
depends on future contingencies. Nothing can be predicted. In Escorts the IR is thoroughly
and believe in resolving all issues (conflicts) across the table
CONCLUSION
1. Finding and suggestion are based on the survey are conducted and these points to
be looked into and steps are to be taken in this regard for higher growth.
2. From the analysis I conclude that the job provides the opportunity to the
employees to exercise his/her skills at workplace. Number of the employees
accepted at the times there is a considerable flexibility in coordinating with work
and they are they are satisfied with existing inter personal communication. They
follow the systematic planning and review process to evaluate the performance of
the employee.
3. From analysis it was also observed that was there is a scope for improvement of
the working conditions. Salary package would hike so that it can be in par with
market rate.
Finally I want to conclude that the employees are satisfied with their work and
conditions.
LIMITATIONS TO THE STUDY
There were several constraints that came in the way during the course of research study.
Some of these were so much restrictive in nature that the results of several research
findings could not be generalised.
Although the research work carried out was successful, but there were some limitations,
which are as follows:
Duration for the training was short.
The sample area was concentrated to Corporate IR, Faridabad only and not the rest
of the branches in other Escorts pants in Faridabad itself.
The sample size of the research was very small, which may give wrong picture
The schedule mostly consisted of Likert scale. The main drawback of such question
is that it tells about the effects (satisfaction or dissatisfaction) but not about the
causes.
In spite of so many limitations, ultimately effort was made to steer clear of various
obstacles and the result has been a successful survey leading to certain solid conclusions.
