INTRODUCTION TO EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION

What is Employee Satisfaction?


Employee satisfaction is a term that is used to describe if employees are happy and fulfilling their desires
and needs at work. The crucial factor with employee satisfaction is that satisfied employees must do the job
and make the contributions that the employer needs.
Employee satisfaction is a wider term that is used by the Human Capital industry to describe how satisfied
or content employees are with elements like their jobs, their employee experience, and the organizations
they work for. Employee satisfaction is one key metric that can help determine the overall pulse of an
organization, which is why many organizations employ regular surveys to measure employee satisfaction
and track satisfaction trends over time. A high satisfaction level shows that employees are happy with how
their employer treats them
Often, the term employee satisfaction is used interchangeably with employee engagement; however, while
engagement is one-factor influencing overall satisfaction (and it may be said the reverse is also somewhat
true), the two are not the same.
Satisfaction, which is important for retention, is not necessarily a predictor of performance, while
engagement—which indicates an employee’s passion for their work, among other things—is directly tied
to output. Ideally, satisfaction occurs as a result of both factors like compensation and benefits as well as
less-tangible elements like engagement, recognition, and strong leadership.
If an organization fails to address both the sides of the equation, they might find they have a complacent
team made up of materially satisfied employees who are content to do only what is necessary to remain
employed, or a staff of highly engaged employees who are performing well while they look for new
opportunities at companies more willing or able to fill their material needs.

Importance of Employee Satisfaction


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. They do not work out of any compulsion but because they dream of taking their
organization to a new level. Employees need to be passionate towards their work and passion comes only
when employees are satisfied with their job and organization on the whole. Employee satisfaction leads to
a positive ambience at the workplace. People seldom crib or complain and concentrate more on their work.
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. If people just leave you after being
trained, trust me, your organization would be in a big mess. Agreed you can hire new individuals but no
one can deny the importance of experienced professionals. It is essential for organizations to have
experienced people around who can guide freshers or individuals who have just joined.
Employee attrition is one of the major problems faced by organizations. I don’t think an individual who is
treated well at the workplace, has ample opportunities to grow, is appreciated by his superiors, gets his
salary on time ever thinks of changing his job. Retaining talented employees definitely gives your
organization an edge over your competitors as they contribute more effectively than new joinees. Moreover,
no new individual likes to join an organization which has a high employee attrition rate. Employees who
7|Page
are not satisfied with their jobs often badmouth their organization and also warn friends and acquaintances
to join the same.
Employee satisfaction is essential to ensure higher revenues for the organization. No number of trainings
or motivation would help, unless and until individuals develop a feeling of attachment and loyalty towards
their organization. Employees waste half of their time fighting with their counter parts or sorting out issues
with them. Trust me; employees who are satisfied with their jobs seldom have the time to indulge in nasty
office politics. They tend to ignore things and do not even have the time to crib or fight with others. Satisfied
employees are the happy employees who willingly help their fellow workers and cooperate with the
organization even during emergency situations. Such employees do not think of leaving their jobs during
crisis but work hard together as a single unit to overcome challenges and come out of the situation as soon
as possible. For them, their organization comes first, everything else later. They do not come to office just
for money but because they really feel for the organization and believe in its goals and objectives. Satisfied
employees also spread positive word of mouth and always stand by each other. Instead of wasting their
time in gossiping and loitering around they believe in doing productive work eventually benefitting the
organization. They take pride in representing their respective organizations and work hard to ensure higher
revenues for the 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.

Factors Influencing Employee Satisfaction


Employee satisfaction ensures employees are happy with their jobs and also give their heart and soul to the
organization. Such people seldom think of changing their jobs and motivate not only themselves but also
others to work hard for the betterment of the organization.

Let us go through few factors influencing employee satisfaction:

Working conditions of an organization play an important role in influencing employee satisfaction.


Employees who do not have a proper workstation and are not comfortable at their workplaces are the ones
who are the most frustrated and unhappy with their job. Appoint people who are responsible for the
cleanliness of the office and most importantly the rest rooms. Assign drawers and proper space to employees
where they can keep their important documents, files and also personal belongings. Encourage the
employees to keep their drawers and desk clean. Make sure your office building is fire resistant.
Management has no right to treat its employees as slaves just because they are being paid. Employees need
to be treated with utmost respect and care. They need to feel protected at the workplace for them to develop
a feeling of job satisfaction. Encourage healthy ambience at the workplace and also motivate employees
not to participate in nasty office politics.

The second most important factor influencing employee satisfaction is employee benefits. Employees
need to be paid well as per their designation and roles and responsibilities in the organization. The moment
an employee is underpaid, he/she would create problems for the entire organization. Do not favour any
employee. Make sure incentives and monetary benefits are directly proportional to the efforts an individual
puts in. Do not unnecessary hold their payments and salaries if you want your employees to stick around

8|Page
for a long time. Another reason as to why employees are not satisfied with their job is that their hard work
is not acknowledged. Give them their due credit. If they have performed something extraordinarily, do not
forget to appreciate them in front of their colleagues. Give them additional responsibilities. Give them an
opportunity to handle teams. You need to trust them and guide them accordingly. If you expect an individual
to work on entry level projects for next five years, you are sadly mistaken. He/she would definitely move
on. Make sure deserving employees get decent hikes and benefits. Do not put a full stop on their career
growth citing lame excuses that the individual concerned is not performing up to the mark or the
organization is at loss. If the employee is not performing well then what is the management doing? In such
a case he should not be in the system and if at all, he is there, what are seniors doing to improve his
performance? Be transparent with your employees. An employee becomes frustrated the moment he has
nothing challenging to work on. Constant upgradation of skills is essential for every employee to survive
the cut throat competition. Make sure employees are a part of regular training programs.

Make employees feel as an indispensable resource for the organization. A sense of loyalty towards the
organization does not come out of compulsion. It has to come from within. Give employees space and
freedom to take their own decisions. If they have to depend on you for every small thing, trust me they
would soon end up quitting their jobs. Give them the budget and ask them to perform and deliver within
the stipulated time frame. Do not interfere in their way of handling teams. Be reasonable with your
employees. Trust me; being too strict with them does not help. If you expect them to work on every Sunday,
do not be surprised if they resign all of a sudden.

How do you achieve employee satisfaction?

1. Be Realistic with Your Expectations


At the root of a lot of stress, anxiety, and frustration that many employees feel are unrealistic expectations
from the organization. As a leader, it’s your responsibility to make sure employees are not feeling
pressurized/stressed out work or overwhelmed, they likely won’t have the courage to raise that as an issue.
This might be hard for you to do depending on what the organization’s goals are, but more than anything
you should be having an open mindset and honest discussions with your team to see if expectations are too
high.

2. Recognize Good Work


Recognizing your employees is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to increase job satisfaction. The only
thing it requires of you is to be more mindful of what’s going on around you. Increasing your emotional
intelligence will help you become more mindful and appreciative of what your team is doing.

3. Focus on The Long Term


Short-term thinking or looking forward to “quick wins” are not only bad for business but can be incredibly
frustrating for employees. In order for employees to get motivated, they need to see the similar long-term
vision that the senior leadership team has. This plays into not only having a mission and core values that
you adhere to because the mission is long term and can get employees excited.

4. Communicate More
Remember, there’s no such thing as excessive communication. Also, the lack of communication is the
source of a lot of frustration in the workplace. Knowledge is power, so there’s no reason why you shouldn’t
want to empower your employees with as much as available. Work on creating a culture of open and honest

9|Page
communication within your team. That feeling of safety and comforts of saying whatever you want to
anyone on your team is a key component of a successful team.

5. Care About Employee Well-being


Showing employees that you genuinely care for their well-being is one of the most effective ways to
increase job satisfaction.

6. Offer Opportunities for Learning


Personal growth is arguably the most important factor in employee engagement. When employees stop
learning, they plateau and get bored, eventually looking elsewhere for stimulation. You can stop this by
applying programs for continuous learning. Employees will love you for it.

7. Give Frequent Feedback


Employees want feedback vigorously and aren’t as sensitive as you might think. There is no need to be rude
with your feedback, but if you are straightforward and honest, employees will respect that. Make time for
regular feedback by scheduling one-on-ones once a month with every individual of your team, and create
more of those informal opportunities for conversation.

8. Don’t Focus Too Much on Perks


Perks are nice-to-have, but there is no need to put too much emphasis on perks. There is one caveat though.
They say that the one perk that does make a difference is flexible time. Employees just love the fact that
they are trusted enough to have some flexibility in their schedule.

9. Empower Employees
For employees to be satisfied at work, they need to feel like they’re in control. They should feel like they
have the autonomy they need to do amazing work that they can be proud of.
Best Practices to Keep Employee Satisfaction High
1. A Positive Work Environment
A positive work environment has a significant influence on how the employees feel. The work environment
plays a vital role in keeping the employees motivated. It significantly influences his/her work life. It reflects
in the work they do and helps sustain positivity throughout the day. A positive work environment doesn’t
only mean the organizational structure. It is the overall experience an employee shares with his/her co-
workers, immediate supervisors, and company culture.

Create a positive work environment through-

• Open communication
• Building trust
• Building healthy work relationships
• Listening and promoting equal opportunities

2. Feedback
We all need and crave feedback, and your employees are no different. Feedback is critical to employee
satisfaction, and most of the managers are uncertain when it comes to giving feedback. Lack of employee

10 | P a g e
feedback makes the employees unsure about the work and effort they are putting. Human psychology is
complicated, and people can receive the same message or dialogue differently

Managers should, therefore, master the tricks of giving feedback. The positive effects of feedback are
immense in the workplace. It can build trust, employee satisfaction, keep the employees motivated and
reduce turnover.

The best ways to give healthy feedback are

• The positive intent.


• It should be constructive.
• It should be genuine.
• Don’t wait, give your feedback immediately.

3. Rewards and Recognition


According to OfficeTeam’s study, 66% of employees say they would “likely leave their job if they didn’t
feel appreciated.

Each of us has unique skill sets, and we consciously or subconsciously apply those at our jobs. It is,
therefore, rewarding for anybody to be appreciated for the application of these skills. When employees are
rewarded and recognized for their work, it builds employee morale, productivity, and overall employee
satisfaction or job satisfaction.

Organizations often miss out on this psychological aspect. Appreciating and recognizing employees from
time to time keeps employees motivated. This energizes them to thrive to do better and outdo themselves.
You can also offer valuable benefits and perks to your employees to boost their morale and job satisfaction.

4. Work-life Balance and Employee Satisfaction

Work-life balance helps employees to balance their professional and personal lives. Balancing work-life in
today’s world is quite challenging, and many a time can become burdensome.

Employees keep themselves occupied with the different aspects of their personal and professional lives.
And that plays a crucial role in their satisfaction and employee happiness. Long, tight work schedules, and
too much workload often make it difficult for them to balance them.

Management can, therefore, help its employees to bring a balance in work life. Here are some actionable
steps:

• Initiating work-life balance programs


• To have one to one interaction
• To provide flexible work hours
• Giving them enough time for relaxation and leisure

5. Involve and Engage your Employees

When you involve and engage your employees, it builds employee satisfaction. Teams that work together
with involvement are happier and satisfied. The best way to encourage employees is to make them fully

11 | P a g e
involved. To hear them out in need. To make them realize that they are equally important, and their
contribution and hard work are always appreciated.
Work-life can be hectic and burdensome at times. When you involve and engage your employees
deliberately, it reduces employee turnover and enhances employee satisfaction.

6. Develop Employee Skills

Helping employees develop their skill sets is also one of the attributes of employee satisfaction. When you
give your employees room for developing their skills, it boosts their job satisfaction and increases work
efficiency. This also signifies that, along with your organizational growth, you even care about their career
development.

Evaluating if the employees want to learn something new or need any specific training is always a good
practice. Lack of this management approach often makes the employees dissatisfied. Since they feel they
have nothing left to learn.

7. Evaluate and Measure Employee Satisfaction

Many small/big organizations conduct biannual or yearly employee engagement surveys. They put up
questions on the categories like teamwork, feedback, information, work-life balance, work relationship,
self-evaluation, and so on. This is an excellent practice unless it becomes monotonous or complacent. Since
work culture is diverse from one organization to another, therefore the surveys can be designed accordingly.

Let’s say management can put an employee suggestion box to hear employees out anonymously. Employees
can put any simple suggestions they want to make or write anything that bothers them.

One of the other evaluation practices is one-on-one reviews. This could be very effective to know about
employee dissatisfaction and its attributes. Management would this way see if they are satisfied with their
jobs. This would allow the employees to talk about their discontentment, aspirations, and goals. This would
foster satisfaction and engagement and what employees expect from the organization.

8. Employee Well-being

‘Health is wealth’ is an overused phrase but holds true to its meaning. Employers who do not emphasize
employees’ physical, emotional, psychological, and financial well-being build an inefficient workforce. It
is vital to building a work culture for the employees’ well-being needs. Employees who are healthy and
stress-free have better productivity and a greater sense of responsibility towards their job. The feeling of
security keeps them more engaged and dedicated. Therefore, employers must provide them with corporate
wellness programs or sessions and monitor their behavior to foster a positive culture.

9. Clearly defined Goals and Objectives

You may have best team working for you, but if you do not have goals and objectives in place, you would
slowly kill their enthusiasm. Your team needs directions throughout their work-life cycle. When an
organization fails to provide clear objectives or company values, it leads to employee dissatisfaction.
Employees do not only work for a paycheck. For their satisfaction at work, they also need a direction and
a sense of purpose that keeps them going. At the end of the day, we all want to do meaningful work and
make a difference.

Outcomes of employee satisfaction

To society as a whole as well as from an individual employee's standpoint, job satisfaction in and of itself
is a desirable outcome. It is important to know, if at all, satisfaction relates to outcomes variable. For
example, if job satisfaction is high, will the employee perform better and the organization be more effective?
If job satisfaction is low, will there be performance problems and ineffectiveness? The following sections
examine the most important of these.
Satisfaction and performance:
Most assume a positive relationship; the research to date indicates that there is no strong linkage between
satisfaction and performance. Conceptual, methodological, and empirical analyses have questioned and
argued against these results.
The best conclusion about satisfaction and performance is that there is, definitely a relationship. The
relationship may even be more complex than others in organization behavior. For example, there seem to
be many possible-moderating variables, the most important of which is reward. If people receive reward,
they feel are equitable, they will be satisfied, and is likely to result in greater performance effort.

Satisfaction and turnover:

Unlike that between satisfaction and performance, research has uncovered a moderately negatively
relationship between satisfaction and turnover. High job satisfaction will not, in and of itself, keep turnover
low, but it does seem to help. On the other hand, if there is considerable job dissatisfaction, there is likely
to be high turnover. Obviously, other variables enter into an employee’s decision to quit besides job
satisfaction. For example, age tenure in the organization, and commitments to the organization, may play a
role. Some people cannot see themselves working anywhere else, so they remain regardless of how
dissatisfied they feel.
Another factor is the general economy, typically there will be an increase in turnover because will being
looking for better opportunities with other organization.

Satisfaction and absenteeism:

Research has only demonstrated a weak negative relationship between satisfaction and absenteeism. As
with turnover, many variables enter into the decision to stay home besides satisfaction with the job. For
example, there are moderating variables such as the degree to which people that there job are important.
For example, research among state govt. Employees has found those who believed that there was important
had lower absenteeism than did who did not feel this way. Additionally, it is important to remember that
although job satisfaction will not necessarily result in absenteeism, low job satisfaction more likely to bring
about absenteeism.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Review of literature is the most important aspect in any research work. It is a measure, stating the recent
output on a particular area of research and organized in a helpful sequence to strengthen the present research
techniques. The main objective of the review of literature is to understand the research activities that have
taken place in a particular discipline in general and the area of research in particular. All the relevant
literature available was reviewed and presented. The contribution of academicians, information scientists,
research scholars and library professionals on this topic in various dimensions has yielded invaluable set of
research output.

Arthur H Brayfield, Walter H Crockett, Psychological bulletin 52 (5), 396, 1955


An examination is made of the empirical literature bearing upon the relationships between employee
attitudes and employee performance. A discussion of methodological questions includes considerations of
sampling, of criterion measures, and of general problems of analysis and design. Theoretical considerations
include the employees outside environment, and both union and company structures. Two conclusions are
inferred from the literature reviewed: 1. Job satisfaction does not imply strong motivation for outstanding
performance; and 2."… productivity may be only peripherally related to many of the goals toward which
the industrial worker is striving." 62 references. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights

This paper reviews contingency and universalistic theoretical rationales linking satisfaction and conflict to
organic and mechanistic styles of structure and control. Predictions suggested by both theoretical
perspectives are tested on data from 52 departments of 13 consumer reporting organizations. The findings
support both universalistic and contingency predictions although different variables were found to be
important in the predictions of satisfaction and conflict. In contrast to several recent studies, this study
indicates that contingency variables are frequently as good as, or even better than universalistic variables
as predictors of satisfaction and conflict.
Thomas & Sasikumar (2002)
To determine factors which are important in deciding job satisfaction of managers in co-operative sector,
the following were found to be important – job security, opportunity to use knowledge and skill, opportunity
to participate in decision making connected with job, variety in job and challenge in job.
Jens J. Dahlgaard (2003)
A study conducted in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas reported similarities among United States.
Researchers consistently identified the same top five key attributes in a job: ability to balance work and
personal life, work that is truly enjoyable, security for the future, good pay or salary and enjoyable co-
workers. Across the four major geographic regions studied, workers specifically emphasized the importance
of potential advancement and the opportunity to build.
A survey polling member of the Association for Investment Management and Research found that 81% of
the managers said they were satisfied or very satisfied with their job. When asked to identify the factors
15 | P a g e
that create positive feelings about their job, most managers named professional achievement, personal or
professional growth, the work itself and their degree of responsibility more important than compensation.
Factors they viewed as creating negative feelings about their jobs were company policies, administration,
relationships with supervisors, compensation and the negative impact of work on their personal lives
(Cardona, 1996,). In order to decrease some of these negative feelings and increase productivity it has been
proposed to reduce the number of work days employees miss by increasing job satisfaction, redesigning
disability plans and involving supervisors in management (Maurice, 1998,).
Yadav (2004)
States that nature of work or the job content also influence the level of job satisfaction of employees in the
organization.

The Impact of Labour Welfare on Employees Attitudes and Job Satisfaction, a comparative study was conducted
on workers in the private and public sectors of Kanpur city.
The researcher attempted to assess the quality of labour welfare activities; measure the degree of job
satisfaction of workers provided with labour welfare facilities in private and public sectors and evaluates
the attitudes of workers towards management in both the sectors.

Stated that to investigate what the employees are satisfied by and measuring the employee satisfaction in
the work place is critical to the success and increases the profitability of the organization for having
competitive advantage.

We examine the effect of employee satisfaction on corporate performance using employees’ online reviews.
Our results indicate that although employee satisfaction positively impacts corporate performance, this is
not fully reflected in equity prices. Study the effect of employee satisfaction on corporate performance. As
measure of employee satisfaction, we use employees’ online reviews. Employee satisfaction positively
impacts corporate performance. This intangibleis not fully priced in the stock market.

We used data from the British 1998 Workplace Employee Relations Survey (WERS98) to examine key
unanswered questions about the impact of gender similarity on employee satisfaction at work. The study
sample consisted of 11,848 men and 11,278 women from over 1700 workplaces across Britain. In line
with gender‐specific compositional arguments, the effects of gender similarity were found to be
asymmetrical for men and women, with similarity tending to have a greater positive impact on men than
on women. The effects involved were primarily linear in nature. Net of the potentially confounding
influence of other factors, they were also found to be quite weak, weaker than has commonly been
suggested in the literature.

Moyes, Shao, & Newsome, (2008)


Stated the employee satisfaction may be described as how pleased an employee is with his or her position
of employment. The employee satisfaction may be described ashow pleased an employee is with his or her

16 | P a g e
position of employment. As Spector (1997) definedjob satisfaction as all the feelings that a given individual
has about his/her job and its various aspects. Employee satisfaction is a comprehensive term that comprises
job satisfaction of employees and their satisfaction overall with company’s policies, company environment
etc.
The history of job satisfaction stems back to the perspective on job satisfaction. This perspective states that
satisfaction is determined by certain characteristics of the job and characteristics of thejob environment
itself. This view has been present in the literature since the first studies by Hauser, Taylor and the various
projects at the Western Electric plants in Hawthorne

Job satisfaction represents one of the most complex areas facing today’s managers when it comes to
managing their employees. Many studies have demonstrated an unusually large impact on the job
satisfaction on the motivation of workers, while the level of motivation has an impact on productivity,
and hence also on performance of business organizations. Unfortunately, in our region, job satisfaction
has not still received the proper attention from neither scholars nor managers of various business
organizations.

Employee satisfaction is the terminology used to describe whether employees are happy, contended and
fulfilling their desires and needs at work. Many measures support that employee satisfaction is a factor in
employee motivation, employee goal achievement and positive employee morale in the work place.
Basically, employee satisfaction is a measure of how happy workers are with their job and working
environment. In this paper various variables responsible for employee satisfaction has been discussed such
as Organization development factors, Job security factors, Work task factors, Policies of compensation and
benefit factor and opportunities which give satisfaction to employees such as Promotion and career
development also has been described. This paper also deals the various ways by which one can improve
employee satisfaction.

Corporate social responsibility has received an increasing amount of attention from practitioners and
scholars alike in recent years. However, very little is known about whether or how corporate social
responsibility affects employees. Because employees are primary stakeholders who directly contribute
to the success of the company, understanding employee reactions to corporate social responsibility may
help answer lingering questions about the potential effects of corporate social responsibility on firms as
well as illuminate some of the processes.

Human resources are the life-blood of any organization. Even though most of the organizations are now
a days, found to be technology driven, yet human resources are required to run the technology. They are
the most vital and dynamic resources of any organization. With all round development in each and every
area of the economy, there is stiff competition in the market. With this development and competition,
there are lots and lots of avenues and opportunities available in the hands of the human resources. The
biggest challenge that organizations are facing today is not only managing these resources but also
retaining them. Securing and retaining skilled employees plays an important role for any organization,

17 | P a g e
because employees’ knowledge and skills are central to companies’ ability to be economically
competitive. Besides, continuously satisfying the employees is another challenge that the employers are
facing today. Keeping into account the importance and sensitivity of the issue of retention to any
organization, the present study tries to review the various available literature and research work on
employee retention and the factors affecting employee retention and job satisfaction among the
employees.

Advanced Research in Management and Social Sciences 6 (1), 1-20, 2017
In today’s increasing competitive environment, organizations recognize the internal human element as a
fundamental source of improvement. On one hand, managers are concentrating on employees’ wellbeing,
wants, needs, personal goals and desires, to understand the job satisfaction. And on the other hand,
managers take organizational decisions based on the employees' performance. The purpose of this study
is to identify the factors influencing job satisfaction and the determinants of employee performance, and
accordingly reviewing the relationship between them. This study is an interpretivist research that focuses
on exploring the influence of job satisfaction on employee performance and vice, the influence of
employee performance on job satisfaction. The study also examines the nature of the relationship
between these two variables.
The study reveals the dual direction of the relationship that composes a cycle cause and effect
relationship, so satisfaction leads to performance and performance leads to satisfaction through number
of mediating factors. Successful organizations are those who apply periodic satisfaction and performance
measurement tests to track the level of these important variables and set the corrective actions.

Employee engagement is an important issue in management theory and practice. However, there are still
major differences in the concept, theory, influencing factors and outcomes of employee engagement, and
there is still no authoritative standard. This paper attempts to review and summarize previous research
results on employee engagement. Two kinds of definitions of employee engagement are identified-
employee engagement as a multi-faceted construct (cognition, emotions and behaviors) and as a unitary
construct (a positive state of mind, a dedicated willingness, the opposite of burnout). Three theoretical
frameworks are used to explain the varying degrees of employee engagement- Needs-Satisfaction
framework, Job Demands-Resources model and Social Exchange Theory. The influencing factors of
employee engagement are divided into three categories- organizational factors (management style, job
rewards, etc.), job factors (work environment, task characteristics, etc.) and individual factors (physical
energies, self-consciousness, etc.). Employee engagement is found to have a positive relationship with
individual performance (organizational commitment, positive behavior, etc.) and organizational
performance (customer satisfaction, financial return, etc.) The research findings show that there are three
shortcomings in previous studies- lack of research on demographic variables, personality differences and
cross-cultural differences in employee engagement, lack of research on the mediating or moderating role
of employee engagement, and lack of intervention mechanism for employee engagement.

Maartje Paais, Jozef R Pattiruhu, The Journal of Asian Finance, Economics and Business 7 (8),
577-588, 2020
The study investigates by empirical methods the effect of motivation, leadership, and organizational
culture on job satisfaction, and employee performance at Wahana Resources Ltd North Seram District,
Central Maluku Regency, Indonesia. This examination intends to be a critical review for academics
researching the field of human resources management (HRM). The study's sample consisted of 155
18 | P a g e
employees who were selected using the Proportionate Stratified Random Sampling method. At the same
time, data were collected using a questionnaire and then analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling
on Amos. The results of data analysis showed that work motivation and organizational culture had a
positive and significant effect on performance, but did not significantly influence employee job
satisfaction. While leadership has a substantial impact on employee job satisfaction, it does not affect
performance. The results of testing the coefficient of determination show that job satisfaction is
influenced for 57.4% by motivation, leadership, and culture variables, while employee performance
variables are influenced for 73.5% by motivation, leadership, culture, and job satisfaction variables.
Other factors outside this study influence the rest. Motivation, leadership, and organizational culture of
employees need to be improved to increase job satisfaction. Invariably, if employee job satisfaction
increases, employee performance will also increase.

Timothy A Judge, Shuxia Carrie Zhang, David R Glerum, Essentials of job attitudes and other
workplace psychological constructs, 207-241, 2020
Job satisfaction continues to be one of the most studied job attitudes in Industrial and Organizational
Psychology (Judge et al., 2017). Academics and practitioners alike have recognized the worth of job
satisfaction, given its usefulness in predicting vital organizational effectiveness outcomes (Judge &
Kammeyer-Mueller, 2012; Society for Human Resource Management, 2015). In this chapter, we provide
a comprehensive review of the job satisfaction literature. First, we discuss the history of job satisfaction
and how the construct has been explicated and refined over time. Second, we describe the various
paradigms and approaches to the measurement of job satisfaction, along with important measurement
considerations. Third, we review the antecedents (dispositional, contextual, and event-based) and
outcomes (performance, effectiveness, organizational citizenship behavior [OCB], counterproductive
work behavior [CWB], and withdrawal) of job satisfaction. Finally, we synthesize decades of job
satisfaction research to suggest how the study of job satisfaction can move forward. As some examples,
we suggest researchers employ theory elaboration (Fisher & Aguinis, 2017) approaches to prune and
elaborate on job satisfaction. We also suggest that practitioners closely focus on the determinants of job
satisfaction, especially justice perceptions, which strongly predict job satisfaction. We conclude that a
continued focus on job satisfaction is critically important: in the tumultuous modern climate wrought
with high turnover rates, satisfied employees are more likely to be loyal champions, ambassadors, and
advocates to their organizations.

About Basket Hunt Cloud Computing
As the company started to grow and started receiving thousands of orders a day, traffic on its website started
to increase. This increase in traffic made the performance of the website slow and now the website took
longer than before to load. Later, when competitors got an eye on the success of Basket Hunt, they used
illegal ways to degrade the organization. After an investigation by the IT team, it was found that the servers
on which the website was hosted were not secure. This gave birth to what we call Basket
Hunt Cloud Computing. After launching this concept, it resolved all the problems for the company which
company used to face earlier. Further they brought this concept into business, by providing
cloud computing free for 1st year to all those who want to host a website with a registered business.
About Basket Hunt Academy
As of now Basket Hunt has achieved a lot in all the fields ranging from delivering necessity products to
households and providing a safe and secure medium to do business. Even after achieving so much, they
didn’t want to stop so they decided to educate the children who are willing to study but they can't study.
This thought of the company gave rise to what we know today is Basket Hunt Academy. This department
focuses on providing the internship to the students who are willing to learn under a realistic cooperate world
and provide education to those who are willing to study.
About Basket Hunt Works
Now after offering the services and achieving the success in all the sectors, there came the problem of
mismanagement. The company was unable to handle and manage its workforce due to which they were
unable to hold the tag of Best Company to Work With. There was a great chaos in the organization as no
one had no idea how to deal with this situation. Then after a lot of brainstorming the company produced the
idea of Basket Hunt Works. They decided that all the management related work will be done by
this department and they decided that this department will not enter in the business field rather it will be
there for the company only.

Analysis and Interpretation of Data

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

Data Analysis

Data analysis is the process of cleaning, changing, and processing raw data and extracting actionable,
relevant information that helps businesses make informed decisions. The procedure helps reduce the risks
inherent in decision-making by providing useful insights and statistics, often presented in charts, images,
tables, and graphs.
A simple example of data analysis can be seen whenever we make a decision in our daily lives by evaluating
what has happened in the past or what will happen if we make that decision. Basically, this is the process
of analyzing the past or future and making a decision based on that analysis.
It’s not uncommon to hear the term “big data” brought up in discussions about data analysis. Data analysis
plays a crucial role in processing big data into useful information.
Data analysis is used after collection, organizing and presentation. By analysis of data we mean, the study
of nature of data can be studied with the aid of several statistical tools which range from simple to
complicated and sophisticated methods which can be handled by trained investigators or experts.

Data Interpretation

Data interpretation refers to the process of using diverse analytical methods to review data and arrive at
relevant conclusions. The interpretation of data helps researchers to categorize, manipulate, and summarize
the information in order to answer critical questions.
For example, let’s say your users fall into four age groups. So, a company can see which age group likes
their content or product. Based on bar charts or pie charts, they can develop a marketing strategy to reach
uninvolved groups or an outreach strategy to grow their core user base.
The final step in an investigation consists of interpreting the data which have been collected. Interpretation
of data means the techniques of drawing conclusions from the critical study of the collected data. If the data
analysis is not properly interpreted the whole object of the investigation will be defeated and false,
conclusions may be drawn. Correct interpretation will lead to a valid conclusion of the study and this can
aid one in taking suitable decision.
