INTRODUCTION
In this fast changing and dynamic environment, everyone is having shortage of time.
Everyone has lot many things to do. Due to this, people try to find out ways and
means to save their time and justify lot many things to do at a time. Taking this into
consideration and with the advantage of technology, companies are trying to give
convenience to customers at their doorstep. Online shopping is one such
convenience to customers where they can buy 24 x 7 at their convenience. Online
shopping is the process whereby consumers directly buy goods or services from a
seller in real-time, without an intermediary service, over the Internet. It is a form of
electronic commerce. The sale or purchase of transaction is completed
electronically. The process of buying products or services on an online shop, e-shop,
e-store, internet shop, web shop, web store, online store is called Business-to-
Consumer (B2C) online shopping.
In 1990, Tim Berners-Lee created the first World Wide Web server and browser in
UK. It opened for commercial use in 1991. In 1994, Netscape introduced Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption of data transferred online, which had become
essential for secured online shopping. Later on, other advances took place, such as
online banking and the opening of an online pizza shop by Pizza Hut. In 1994 itself,
the German company “Intershop” introduced its first online shopping system. In
1995, Amazon launched its online shopping site, and in 1996, eBay also appeared
online. Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) was the first in
India to interact with the online E-Commerce in 2002. The government of India
came forward with the IRCTC Online Passenger Reservation System, which for the
first time encountered the online ticket booking from anywhere at any time. This
was followed by Airline Agency and then in 2007 online shopping gained
momentum with the introduction of Flipkart with its new business model of deep
discounted.

Etzioni (1975)

and three different forms of involvement. The source and forms and forms of power were
named coercive, remunerative and normative, and the forms of involvement were named
alliterative , calculative and moral.
Schein (1988)
there exists an implicit contractual relationship between the employee and the employer
which is derived from a series of assumptions on the part of employer and employee about
the nature of their relationship
Cully(1998)
Addresseed this issue as part of an attempt to ascertain the extent to which employees in

package incorporating both intrinsic and extrinsic factors.work satisfaction depends on
sense of achievement,respect from managers in terms of recognition for a job well done
define employee relations is as study of the rules, regulations and agreements by which

[9]
regarding to employee relations they started: conflict and cooperation coexists in

Gazioglu&saziye(2013)
according to this author there was not enough evidence for the alleged turning away from
material towards. Economic incentives where becoming right rather then towards. There
was no doubt what we live in a money motivated world. Any amount of human relations
cannot compensate for lack of monetary rewards. Rewards could act as the catalyst for
improved performance and better productivity

Suggestions and conclusions
Maintaining harmonious relationships is very important for the survival, prosperity and
growth of the Organization. Good and healthy relationships with employees lead to
better organizational performance. The Study found that small organizations are aware
of the advantages of maintaining good relationships with Employees and of correcting
corrective actions to minimize relationships with the poor employees of the
Organization. Similarly, the study found that there is a significant positive relationship
between employee Relationships and employee performance, as well as between
employee relationships and the performance of The organization. In addition, the study
found that the use of unfair labor practices is one of the main causes Of poor
relationships with employees in small organizations in Tanzania. Therefore, the study
suggests the Need for small organizations to begin to implement fair work practices in
all their activities and eliminate Unfair labor practices. In addition, the study
recommends that small organizations in Tanzania focus more On creating effective and
sustainable working relationships that guarantee their growth and survival.
From the study it can be deduced that a good salary, a pleasant working relationship and
a good working Condition play an important role in ensuring that employees are
satisfied in the workplace and directly Reflect their intention to remain committed. In an
institution. From these results, it is correct to conclude that Job satisfaction has a
relationship with the commitment of both an employee’s career and the institution for
Which he works. However, this can be achieved if there is transparency in the reward
system and if the Rewards or compensations satisfy the aspirations of the beneficiaries.
One of the main lessons of the study is That employees would be more committed to
GCB when they receive prizes according to their Responsibilities and abilities. On this
basis, it is recommended that the measures be implemented not only to Increase their
salaries, but also to pay all their emoluments promptly. Changes in compensation
packages Have an associated impact on employee satisfaction levels. Once again, GCB
must devise ways to obtain Adequate structures to improve effective career
management. The responses showed that around 33% feel Unsatisfied and, therefore,
there should be incentive packages for employees who remain in place for a
Considerable number of years or who accept publications for rural areas. There is a
positive link between the Benefits and the incentive packages. This was also revealed in
this study. GCB must have concrete career Development structures and conservation
policies for its staff in other people to develop and maintain. The GCB promotion and
promotion criteria should be reconsidered to encourage staff morale and do everything
Possible to help achieve the organization’s goals.
