Overview of Project

INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE STUDY

JOB SATISFACTION
Definitions:

“Job satisfaction does not seem to reduce absence, turnover and perhaps accident rates”.
-Robert L. Kahn

“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.”
-P. Robbins

Job satisfaction defines as “The amount of overall positive affect (or feeling) that individuals
have toward their jobs.”
-Hugh J. Arnold and Daniel C. Feldman

“Job satisfaction is the amount of pleasure or contentment associated with a job. If you like
your job intensely, you will experience high job satisfaction. If you dislike your job intensely,
you will experience job dissatisfaction.”
By Andrew J DuBrins,
The practice of supervision,
New Delhi

Human life has become very complex and completed in now-a-days. In modern
society the needs and requirements of the people are ever increasing and ever changing.
When the people are ever increasing and ever changing, when the people’s needs are not
fulfilled they become dissatisfied. Dissatisfied people are likely to contribute very little for
any purpose. Job satisfaction of industrial workers us very important for the industry to
function successfully. Apart from managerial and technical aspects, employers can be
considered as backbone of any industrial development. To utilize their contribution they
should be provided with good working conditions to boost their job satisfaction.

the industry.
a) Pay.
b) The work itself.
c) Promotion
d) The work group.
e) Working condition.
f) Supervision.

PAY
Wages do play a significant role in determining of satisfaction. Pay is instrumental in
fulfilling so many needs. Money facilities the obtaining of food, shelter, and clothing and
provides the means to enjoy valued leisure interest outside of work. Moreover, pay can serve
as symbol of achievement and asource of recognition. Employees often see pay as a
reflection of organization. Fringe benefits have not been found to have strong influence on
job satisfaction as direct wages.

THE WORK ITSELF


Along with pay, the content of the work itself plays a very major role in determining
how satisfied employees are with their jobs. By and large, workers want jobs that are
challenging; they do want to be doing mindless jobs day after day. The two most important
aspect of the work itself that influence job satisfaction are variety and control over work
methods and work place.
In general, job with a moderate amount of variety produce the most job satisfaction.
Jobs with too little variety cause workers to feel bored and fatigue. Jobs with too much
variety and stimulation cause workers to feel psychologically stressed and ‘burnout’.

PROMOTION
Promotional opportunities have a moderate impact on job satisfaction. A promotion to
a higher level in an organization typically involves positive changes I supervision, job content

lOMoARcPSD|20124242

and pay. Jobs that are at the higher level of an organization usually provide workers with
more freedom, more challenging work assignments and high salary.

SUPERVISION
Two dimensions of supervisor style:
1. Employee centred or consideration supervisors who establish a supportive
personal relationship with subordinates and take a personal interest in them.
2. The other dimension of supervisory style influence participation in decision
making, employee who participates in decision that affect their job, display a
much higher level of satisfaction with supervisor an the overall work situation.

WORK GROUP
Having friendly and co-operative co-workers is a modest source of job satisfaction to
individual employees. The working groups also serve as a social support system of
employees. People often used their co-workers as sounding board for their problem of as a
source of comfort.

WORK CONDITION
The employees desire good working condition because they lead to greater physical
comfort. The working conditions are important to employees because they can influence life
outside of work. If people are require to work long hours and / or overtime, they will have
very little felt for their families, friends and recreation outside work.

Determinants of job satisfaction:


While analyzing the various determinants of job satisfaction, we have to keep in mind
that: all individuals do no derive the same degree of satisfaction though they perform the
same job in the same job environment and at the same time. Therefore, it appears that besides
the nature of job and job environment, there are individual variables which affect job
satisfaction. Thus, all those factors which provide a fit among individual variables, nature of
job, and situational variables determine the degree of job satisfaction. Let us see what these
factors are.

Individual factors:
Individuals have certain expectations from their jobs. If their expectations are met
from the jobs, they feel satisfied. These expectations are based on an individual’s level of
education, age and other factors.

Level of education:
Level of education of an individual is a factor which determines the degree of job
satisfaction. For example, several studies have found negative correlation between the level
of education, particularly higher level of education, and job satisfaction. The possible reason
for this phenomenon may be that highly educated persons have very high expectations from
their jobs which remain unsatisfied. In their case, Peter’s principle which suggests that every
individual tries to reach his level of incompetence, applies more quickly.

Age:
Individuals experience different degree of job satisfaction at different stages of their
life. Job satisfaction is high at the initial stage, gets gradually reduced, starts rising up to
certain stage, and finally dips to a low degree. The possible reasons for this phenomenon
are like this.
When individuals join an organization, they may have some unrealistic assumptions
about what they are going to drive from their work. These assumptions make them more
satisfied. However, when these assumptions fall short of reality, job satisfaction goes down.
It starts rising again as the people start to assess the jobs in right perspective and correct their
assumptions. At the last, particularly at the fag end of the career, job satisfaction goes down
because of fear of retirement and future outcome.

Other factors:
Besides the above two factors, there are other individual factors which affect job
satisfaction. If an individual does not have favourable social and family life, he may not feel
happy at the workplace. Similarly, other personal problems associated with him may affect
his level of job satisfaction. Personal problems associated with him may affect his level of job
satisfaction.

lOMoARcPSD|20124242

Nature of job:
Nature of job determines job satisfaction which is in the form of occupation level and
job content.

Occupation level:
Higher level jobs provide more satisfaction as compared to lower levels. This
happens because high level jobs carry prestige and status in the society which itself becomes
source of satisfaction for the job holders. For example, professionals derive more satisfaction
as compared to salaried people: factory workers are least satisfied.

Job content:
Job content refers to the intrinsic value of the job which depends on the requirement
of skills for performing it, and the degree of responsibilityand growth it offers. A higher
content of these factors provides higher satisfaction. For example, a routine and repetitive
lesser satisfaction; the degree of satisfaction progressively increases in job rotation, job
enlargement, and job enrichment.

Situational variables:
Situational variables related to job satisfaction lie in organizational context – formal
and informal. Formal organization emerges out of the interaction of individuals in the
organization. Some of the important factors which affect job important factors which affect
job satisfaction are given below:

1. Working conditions: Working conditions, particularly physical work environment,


like conditions of workplace and associated facilities for performing the job determine job
satisfaction. These work in two ways. First, these provide means job performance. Second,
provision of these conditions affects the individual’s perception about the organization. If
these factors are favourable, individuals experience higher level of job satisfaction.

2. Supervision: The type of supervision affects job satisfaction as in each type of


supervision; the degree of importance attached to individuals varies. In employee-oriented
supervision, there is more concern for people which is perceived favourably by them and
provides them more satisfaction. In job oriented supervision, there is more emphasis on the

lOMoARcPSD|20124242

performance of the job and people become secondary. This situation decreases job
satisfaction.

3. Equitable rewards: The type of linkage that is provided between job performance
and rewards determines the degree of job satisfaction. If the reward is perceived to be based
on the job performance and equitable, it offers higher satisfaction. If the reward is perceived
to be based on considerations other than the job performance, it affects job satisfaction
adversely.

4. Opportunity: It is true that individuals seek satisfaction in their jobs in the context
of job nature and work environment by they also attach importance to opportunities for
promotion that these job offer. If the present job offers opportunity of promotion is lacking, it
reduces satisfaction.

5 Work group: Individuals work in group either created formally of they develop on
their own to seek emotional satisfaction at the workplace. To the extent such groups are
cohesive; the degree of satisfaction is high. If the group is not cohesive, job satisfaction is
low. In a cohesive group, people derive satisfaction out of their interpersonal interaction and
workplace becomes satisfying leading to job satisfaction.

Effect of Job Satisfaction


Job satisfaction has a variety of effects. These effects may be seen in the context of an
individual’s physical and mental health, productivity, absenteeism, and turnover.

Physical and Mental Health:

The degree of job satisfaction affects an individual’s physical and mental health.
Since job satisfaction is a type of mental feeling, its favourableness or unfavourableness
affects the individual psychologically which ultimately affects his physical health. For
example, Lawler has pointed out that drug abuse, alcoholism and mental and physical health
result from psychologically harmful jobs. Further, since a job is an important part of life, job
satisfaction influences general life satisfaction. The result is that there is spill over effect
which occurs in both directions between job and life satisfaction.

lOMoARcPSD|20124242

Productivity:
There are two views about the relationship between job satisfaction and productivity:
1. A happy worker is a productive worker,
2. A happy worker is not necessarily a productive worker.

The first view establishes a direct cause-effect relationship between job satisfaction
and productivity; when job satisfaction increases, productivity increases; when satisfaction
decreases, productivity decreases. The basic logic behind this is that a happy worker will put
more efforts for job performance. However, this may not be true in all cases. For example, a
worker having low expectations from his jobs may feel satisfied but he may not put his
efforts more vigorously because of his low expectations from the job. Therefore, this view
does not explain fully the complex relationship between job satisfaction and productivity.

Another view: That is a satisfied worker is not necessarily a productive worker explains the
relationship between job satisfaction and productivity. Various research studies also support
this view. This relationship may be explained in terms of the operation of two factors: effect
of job performance on satisfaction and organizational expectations from individuals for job
performance.
1. Job performance leads to job satisfaction and not the other way round. The basic
factor for this phenomenon is the rewards (a source of satisfaction) attached with
performance. There are two types of rewards- intrinsic and extrinsic. The intrinsic reward
stems from the job itself which may be in the form of growth potential, challenging job, etc.
Thesatisfaction on such a type of reward may help to increase productivity. The extrinsic
reward is subject to control by management such as salary, bonus, etc. Any increase in these
factors does not hep to increase productivity though these factors increase job satisfaction.

2. A happy worker does not necessarily contribute to higher productivity because he has
to operate under certain technological constraints and, therefore, he cannot go beyond certain
output. Further, this constraint affects the management’s expectations from the individual in
the form of lower output. Thus, the work situation is pegged to minimally acceptable level of
performance.

lOMoARcPSD|20124242

However, it does not mean that the job satisfaction has no impact o productivity. A
satisfied worker may not necessarily lead to increased productivity but a dissatisfied worker
leads to lower productivity.

Absenteeism:
Absenteeism refers to the frequency of absence of job holder from the workplace
either unexcused absence due to some avoidable reasons or long absence due to some
unavoidable reasons. It is the former type of absence which is a matter of concern. This
absence is due to lack of satisfaction from the job which produces a ‘lack of will to work’ and
alienate a worker form work as for as possible. Thus, job satisfaction is related to
absenteeism.

Employee turnover:
Turnover of employees is the rate at which employees leave the organization within a
given period of time. When an individual feels dissatisfaction in the organization, he tries to
overcome this through the various ways of defence mechanism. If he is not able to do so, he
opts to leave the organization. Thus, in general case, employee turnover is related to job
satisfaction. However, job satisfaction is not the only cause of employee turnover, the other
cause being better opportunity elsewhere.
For example, in the present context, the rate of turnover of computer software
professionals is very high in India. However, these professionals leave their organizations not
simply because they are not satisfied but because of the opportunities offered from other
sources particularly from foreign companies located abroad.

Improving job satisfaction:


Job satisfaction plays significant role in the organization. Therefore, manager should
take concrete steps to improve the level of job satisfaction.
1. Re-designing the job
2. Improving the quality of work life.
3. Linking rewards with performance.
4. Improving overall organizational climate.

PROFILE OF SBI
The origin of the State Bank of India goes back to the first decade of the nineteenth
century with the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta on 2nd June 1806. Three
years later the bank received its charter and it was re-designed as the Bank of Bengal (2nd
January 1809). A unique institution, it was the first joint-stock bank of British India
sponsored by the Government of Bengal. The Bank of Bombay (15th April 1840) and the
Bank of Madras (1st July 1843) followed the Bank of Bengal. These three banks remained at
the apex of modern banking in India till their amalgamation as the Imperial Bank of India on
27th January 1921.

ESTABLISHMENT

The establishment of the Bank of Bengal marked the advent of limited liability, joint-stock
banking in India. So was the associated innovation in banking, viz. the decision to allow the
Bank of Bengal to issue notes, which would be accepted for payment of public revenues
within a restricted geographical area. This right of note issue was very valuable not only for
the Bank of Bengal but also its two siblings, the Banks of Bombay and Madras. The three
banks were governed by royal charters, which were revised from time to time.
Each charter provided for a share capital, for-fifth of which were privately subscribed and the
rest owned by the provincial government. The members of the board of directors, which
managedthe affairs of each bank, were mostly proprietary directors representing the large
European managing agency houses in India; The rest where government nominees invariably
civil servants. One of whom was elected as the president of the board.

MAJOR CHANGE IN THE CONDITIONS


A major change in the conditions of operation of the Banks of Bengal, Bombay and Madras
occurred after 1860. With the passing of the Paper Currency Act of 1861, the right of note
issue of the presidency banks was abolished and the Government of India assumed from 1
March 1862 the sole power of issuing paper currency within British India. The task of
management and circulation of the new currency notes was conferred on the presidency
banks and the Government undertook the transfer the Treasury balances to the banks at places
where the banks would open branches. None of the three banks had till than any braches
(except the sole attempt ad that too a short-lived one by the Bank of Bengal at Mirsapore in

1839) although the charters had given them such authority. But as soon as the three
presidency band were assured of the free use of government.

IMPERIAL BANK
The Imperial Bank during the three and a half decades of its existence recorded an impressive
growth in terms of offices, reserves, deposits, investments and advances, the increases in
some cases amounting to more than six-fold. The financial status and security inherited form
its forerunners no doubt provided a form and durable platform. But the lofty traditions of
banking which the Imperial Bank consistently maintained and the high standard of integrity it
observed in its operations inspired confidence in its depositors that no other bank in India
could perhaps then equal. All these enabled the Imperial Band acquire a pre-eminent position
in the Indian banking industry and also secure a vital place in the country’s economic life.
When India attained freedom, the Imperial Bank had a capital base (including reserves) of
Rs.11.85 crores, deposits and advances of Rs.275.14 crores and Rs.72.94 crores respectively
and a new work of 172 branches and more than 200 sub offices extending all over the
country. The State Bank of India was thus born within a new sense of social purpose aided by
the 480 offices comprising branches, sub offices and three Local Head Offices inherited form
the Imperial Bank.
The concept of banking as mere repositories of the community’s savings and lenders to
creditworthy parties was soon to give way to the concept of purposeful banking sub-serving
the growing and diversified financial needs of planned economic development. The State
Bank of India was destined to act banking system into the exciting field of national
development

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Job satisfaction represents the constellations of person’s attitude towards or about the

job. In general, job satisfaction is the attitude towards the job as a whole. Job satisfaction is a

function of satisfaction with different aspects of job, i.e. supervision, pay, works itself, co-

workers, promotion, etc., and of the particular weighting or importance one attaches to these

respective components.

The study of job satisfaction is a relatively recent phenomenon. It can perhaps be said

to have begun in earnest with the famous Hawthorne studies conducted by Elton Mayo at the

western Electronic Company in 1920s during the course of investigations. However they

become convinced that factors of a social nature were affecting satisfaction with the job and

productivity. Since the Hawthorne studies there has been an enormous output of work on the

nature, causes and correlates of job satisfaction.

The traditional model of job satisfaction is that it consists of the total body of feelings

that an individual has about his job. This total body of feelings involves, in effect, weighting

up the sum total of influences of the job, the nature of job itself, the pay, the promotion. The

promotion prospects, the nature of supervision and so on. Where the sum total of influences

gives rise to feelings of satisfactions the individual is job satisfied.

Where in total they give rise to feelings of job dissatisfaction the individual is job

dissatisfied. Improving any one of these influences will lead in the direction of job

satisfaction, making less satisfactory any one of the influences will lead in the direction of the

job dissatisfaction. However, what makes a job satisfying does not depends only on the

nature of the job, but on the job expectations that individuals have of what their job should

provide. Expectancy theory points to the importance of the individual’s expectations of his
20 |Page

lOMoARcPSD|20124242

job in determining job satisfaction. For individuals who have expectations that their job

should give them opportunities for pay, challenge, a failure of the job to meet this expectation

will lead to dissatisfaction compared to a situation where no such expectation is involved.

What expect expectation of individuals will have of a job may vary. For a large

number of reasons, some deriving from social others from individual causes. These proposing

an expectancy theory usually regarded overall job satisfaction as a function of satisfaction

with various elements of the job. Another theory that has dominated the study of the nature of

job satisfaction is Herzberg’s famous “Two factory Theory’s of job satisfaction. In this he

claims that the factors which cause job satisfaction are separate and distinct from the factors

which job dissatisfaction.

The factors causing job satisfaction, which level factors such as there relating to

satisfaction with the job itself. The factors which cause job dissatisfaction called hygiene

factors are more concerned with conditions of work such as pay and supervision. At no time

does Herzberg argue a job satisfactory, except may be for a short run.

Philip apple while has listed five major components of job satisfaction as,

1. Attitude towards work group.

2. General workings conditions.

3. Attitude towards company.

4. Monetary benefits and

5. Attitude towards supervision

Other components that should be added to these five are the individual’s state of mind

about the work itself and about life in general. The individual’s health, age, level of

aspiration, social status and political and social activities can all contribute to job satisfaction.

A person attitude toward the job may be positive or negative.

Job satisfaction is not synonymous with organizational morale, which is the

possession of felling of being accepted by and belonging to a group of employees through

adherence to common goals and confidence in desirability of these goals. Morale is the by-

product of a group, while job satisfaction is more of an individual stage of mind.

However the two concepts are interrelated in that job satisfaction can contribute to

morale and morale can contribute to job satisfaction. For many years managers generally

have believed that asatisfied worker is necessarily a good worker. In other works if

management could keep all the employees “HAPPY”, good performance would

automatically follow. Charles Greene has suggested that many managers subscribe to this be

life because it represent “the path of least residence”. Greene’s thesis is that if a performance

problem exists, increasing an employee’s happiness is for more pleasant than discussing with

the worker his or her failure to meet standards. Although happiness eventually results from

satisfaction, this feeling goes much deeper and is far less tenuous than happiness.

Recent research evidence generally rejects the more popular view that satisfaction

causes performance. The evidence does, however, provide moderate support for the view that

job effort causes satisfaction. The evidence also strongly indicates that rewards constitute a

more direct cause of satisfaction that performance does and that rewards based on current

effort causes subsequent performance. Research also indicates that a high level of job

satisfaction does have a positive impact is reducing turnover, absenteeism, tardiness

accidents, grievances and strikes. In addition, recruitment efforts by current employees

generally are more successful if these employees are well satisfied.

Satisfied employees are preferred simply because they affect the work environment

positively. Thus even through a well satisfied employee is not necessarily an outstanding

performer; there are numerous reasons for taking steps to encourage employee satisfaction. A

high level of satisfaction leads to organizational commitment while a low level or

dissatisfaction results in behaviours detrimental to the organization.

It must be remembered that satisfaction and motivation are not synonymous.

Motivation is a drive to perform, whereas satisfaction reflects situation. The factors that

determine whether an individual is adequately satisfied with the job differ from those that

determine whether he or she is motivated. The level of satisfaction is largely determined by

the comforts offered by the environment and situation. Motivation on the other hand, is

largely determined by the value of rewards and their contingency on performance. Motivation

results is added effort that is turn leads to increased performance if the individual has the

ability and result of high satisfaction is increased commitment to the organized which may or

may not result is better performance. The increased commitment normally will lessen the

number of personnel related problems, Such as strikes, excessive absenteeism, tardiness and

turnover.
