Employees job satisfaction in Grameenphone Limited, Bangladesh
1.0 Introduction
Grameenphone is the biggest mobile telecommunications operator in Bangladesh. Grameenphone widely known as GP is also the most important telecommunications service provider in Bangladesh. Grameenphone Limited received a license for cellular phone operation in Bangladesh from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications on November 28, 1996. Grameenphone started operations on March 26, 1997, the Independence Day in Bangladesh. With more than 35 million subscribers as of October 2010, Grameenphone is the largest cellular operator and to cover most part of the country. It is a joint venture enterprise between Telenor and Grameen Telecom. Telenor is the largest telecommunications company in Norway, owns 55.80% shares of Grameenphone, Grameen Telecom owns 34.20% and the remaining 10% is General public & other institution. Hence, in this research, the researcher has to examine the HRM practices (Job security, Compensation, Motivation and Promotion) and employees workrelated attitude (Employee job satisfaction), in the context of Grameenphone Limited.

incentive based compensation has a great effect on organizational performance (Gerhart and Milkovich, 1992; Milkovich and Boudreau, 1998). Motivated employees are more productive. But in Grameenphone limited employees motivation and also there trust level is not up to the mark. Employees are not getting enough reward for their work. Thats why employees are less motivated. The major factors of motivation are ones needs, rewards, wealth, determined goals, beliefs and dignity (Vroom, 1990). It was discovered that employees promotion are also connected with employee work related attitude. The employees of Grameenphone Limited are not satisfied with their promotion policy. They feel they are stuck in a same position for last few years. Promotion follows a defined set pattern which is outlined in the employment bond (Doeringer & Piore, 1971). It is generally thought that employees feel good about their jobs when they are using their skills and abilities and contributing to the organization. (Petrescu, and Simmons, 2008) found that several HRM practices raise employees overall job satisfaction. In this research, my focus would be Job satisfaction. Therefore the researchers want to find out whether the most common HRM practices (Job security, Compensation, Motivation, and Promotion) have any relationship with employee work related attitudes (Job satisfaction), in the context of Grameenphone Limited.

4.2 Compensation
Compensation refers to pay, wage, salary and benefit etc. Compensation is connected to employees job satisfaction. Compensation leads to better motivation among employees. Compensation practice is one of the top human resources management practice. Incentive based compensation has a huge effect on organizational performance. Noon (2001) define compensation as payment for work, which can assume a number of different forms, including a basic wage or salary, additional cash payments, such as shift pay and overtime pay, and benefits in kind. Singh (2004) there are many technique with the help of which the firms can motivate their employees and achieve the specific goals and objectives of the firm. Best method is performance based compensation. Boggie (2005), imbalance in terms of lack of recognition and poor pay often contribute to a problem with employee retention. Chung (1977) also remarks that if incomes are not market related, this can lead to dissatisfaction and discontent. Ichniowski et al.

(1997) stated that incentive pay packages very much affect the performance of workers collective with some other HR practices. If there is a right compensation policy in accordance with employee performance, the employees will make actual efforts to complete their everyday jobs (Wright et al, 2003). Concepts such as salary, wage or pay are occasionally used as more or less having the same significance as compensation (Erasmus et al., 2001).
4.3 Motivation
Motivated employees are needed in our rapidly changing workplaces. Motivated employees help organizations survive. Motivated employees are more productive. The term motivation is derived from the Latin term movere, which means to move (Baron, Henley, McGibbon & McCarthy, 2002). Motivation features are recognized to intensively change whether or not individuals are pleased with their jobs. Motivation has reserved people in crises going throughout centuries; it has been the cause of increased standards of living, success, fortune, and satisfaction. According to many, including Todes et al. (1977), the role of motivation in the job atmosphere has huge importance. The major factors of motivation are ones needs, rewards, wealth, determined goals , values and dignity (Vroom, 1990). Porter and miles (1974) proved that the motivation increases working quality. In fact motivation is inside one more persons head and mind (Khadim et al). Watson (1994) business has come to realize that a motivated and satisfied workforce can deliver powerfully to the bottom line. Since employee performance is a joint function of ability and motivation, one of managements main tasks, therefore, is to motivate employees to perform to the best of their skill (Moorhead & Griffin, 1998). Employee motivation is a major issue for any organization. Managers have always tried to motivate their staff to perform tasks and duties to a high standard (Al-Alawi, 2005; Mullins, 1996, p. 520). For example, research suggests that as employees' income increases, money becomes less of a motivator. Also, as employees get older, interesting work becomes more of a motivator.
Getting employees to do their best work even in strenuous circumstances, is one of the employees most stable and greasy challenges and this can be made possible through motivating them.

this attitude is positive, employees are said to be satisfied and dissatisfied exists when the attitude is negative (Moorhead & Griffin, 1989). The overall job satisfaction focuses on the general inner state of satisfaction or dissatisfaction within the entity. The feeling of overall satisfaction or dissatisfaction is a holistic feeling that is dependent on the strength and regularity of positive and negative experiences (Cherrington, 1994).

condition of job security just at the beginning of their careers so as to feel confident about the future. Job security has been included as a fact of job satisfaction in numerous studies (Greenhalgh & Rosenblatt, 1984). According to Barnett and Brennan (1995) the perception of job security is strongly associated with job satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Supporting this statement Davy et al. (1997) presented a model that identified job security directly effects job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and job involvement. Lambert (1991) identified job security as an extrinsic comfort that has a positive relation with job satisfaction. According to Moorhead and Griffin (1989) employees are motivated or satisfied with their job by lots of different motivational tools including money, benefits, and also including other things like job security. Job security is one of the most significant variables of employee satisfaction which expresses the general attitude of the employee towards his/her job (Bakan and Buyukbee, 2004, p. 35). Job security plays an important role in both social and working life because it helps individuals do not worry about their future, contributes to maintaining labor peace, increasing organizations productivity and protecting social balance and values. Research Question 1 Is there any significant relationship between job security and employee job satisfaction, in the context of Grameenphone Limited? Hypothesis 1 There is a significant relationship between job security and employee job satisfaction, in context of Grameenphone Limited.

skilled employees. Many researchers established a positive relation between compensation and employee performance (Marwat et al., 2009; Bashir and Khattak, 2008; Tessema and Soeters, 2006). Similarly, many researchers said that pay and benefits to be weakly connected with job satisfaction. Individuals view their compensation as an signal of their value to the organization. They compare their inputs to received outputs relevant to that of others (Nel et al., 2004). Compensation can have an influential effect in determining job satisfaction. Frye (2004) study the relationship among the compensation practices and job satisfaction and examined the positive relationship among them. Research Question 2 Is there any significant relationship between compensation and employee job satisfaction, in the context of Grameenphone Limited? Hypothesis 2 There is a significant relationship between compensation and employee job satisfaction, in context of Grameenphone Limited.

not seem to improve efficiency levels in the stretched term and money does not improve performance (Whitley, Pearson & Chatterjee , 2002). According to Sempane, Rieger & Roodt (2002), Job satisfaction relates to peoples own evaluation of their jobs against those issues that are important to them.Additionally, this knows how to decline employees attitude in which they may work simply in the attention of high pay. Such as one employee may be aggravated in his work to earn upper commission, whereas another employee may be more fascinated for its satisfaction or the surrounding environment solely (According to Syptak, Marsland, & Ulmer (1999), these factors can show the way to dissatisfaction condition they are not healthy managed, but they can not at all guide to positive feelings towards work. Absolutely not, the motivators, such as determined for development, accomplishment, appreciation and individual appearance, can create positive approach of job satisfaction.

job satisfaction, the employee satisfaction is determined by satisfaction with promotion. When employees perceive that there are golden chances for promotion they feel satisfied for the respective place in the organization (De Souza, 2002).
