CHAPTER: 2

INTRODUCTION ABOUT HUMAN RESOURCE


People are our greatest asset is a mantra that companies have been changing for years. But
only a few companies have started putting Human Resources Management (HRM) systems in
place that support this philosophy. There are a number of challenges in the Indian industry
which require the serious attention of HR managers to find the right candidate and build a
conducive work environment which will be beneficial for the employees, as well as the
organization. The industry is already under stress on account of persistent problems such as
attrition, confidentiality, and loyalty. Other problems are managing people, motivation to
adopt new technology changes, recruitment and training, performance management,
development, and compensation management. With these challenges, it is timely for
organizations to rethink the ways they manage their people. Managing HR in the knowledge
based industry is a significant challenge for HR managers as it involves a multi task
responsibility. In the present scenario, HR managers perform a variety of responsibilities.
Earlier their role was confined to administrative functions like managing manpower
requirements and maintaining rolls for the organization. Now it is more strategic as per the
demand.

Managing People

In view of the industry dynamics, in the current times, there is a greater demand for
knowledge workers. Resumes abound, yet companies still fervently search for the people who
can make a difference to the business. Often talented professionals enjoy high bargaining
power due to their knowledge and skills in hand. The attitude is different for those who are
taking up responsibilities at a lesser age and experience. These factors have resulted in the
AURO UNIVERSITY

15

EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION AT POSITRONICS PVT LTD

clear shift in approach to individualized career management from organization career


commitment.

Motivating the Workforce

As the competition is growing rapidly in the global market, a technological edge supported
by a talent pool has become a crucial factor for survival in the market. Naturally, as a result
every organization gives top priority to technology advancement programs. HR managers are
now performing the role of motivators for their knowledge workers to adopt new changes.

Competency Development

Human capital is the real asset for any organization, and this makes the HR role important in
recruiting, managing, and retaining the best. The HR department has a clear role in this
process and determines the success tempo of any organization. An urgent priority for most of
the organizations is to have an innovative and competent HR pool; sound in HR management
practices with strong business knowledge.

AURO UNIVERSITY

16

EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION AT POSITRONICS PVT LTD

RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING

Recruitment has become a major function from an imperative sub system in HR, particularly
in the industry. HR managers play a vital role in creating assets for the organization in the
form of quality manpower. Attracting new talent also is a top priority for software companies,
but less so for smaller companies. Another challenge for HR managers is to put systems in
place to make the people a perfect fit for the job. Skill redundancy is fast in the industry. To
overcome this problem, organizations give the utmost priority to training and skill
enhancement programs on a continuous basis. Many companies are providing technical
training to the employees on a quarterly basis. These trainings are quite useful also in terms
of providing security to the employees.

The Trust Factor


Low levels of trust inhibit tacit knowledge sharing in the knowledge based industry. It is
essential that Our Company takes more initiatives to improve the security levels of the
employees.
Work life Balance Factor
Another dimension to the challenges faced by our company is the growing pace of talent
acquisition. This aspect creates with it the challenge of a smoother assimilation and the
cultural binding of the new comers into the organization fold. The pressure of delivering the
best of quality services in a reduced time frame calls for ensuring that employees maintain a
work life balance.

Attrition/Retention of the Talent Pool

AURO UNIVERSITY

17

EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION AT POSITRONICS PVT LTD

One of the toughest challenges for the HR managers in the industry is to deal with the
prevalent high attrition levels. Though there is an adequate supply of qualified staff at entry
level, there are huge gaps in the middle and senior level management in the industry. Further,
the salary growth plan for each employee is not well defined. This situation has resulted in
increased levels of poaching and attrition between organizations. The industry average
attrition rate is 3035 per cent and could range up to 60 per cent.
Employee satisfaction surveys provide valuable data that can ultimately save company
money. Our employee satisfaction surveys can:
Measure employee satisfaction levels.
Track changes in employee satisfaction over time.
Improve overall satisfaction and retention.

OVER VIEW ABOUT EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION

What does the term Satisfaction imply to an employee? It implies nothing else than the
feeling of either being contended or non-contended on using a product. Employee
Satisfaction is a prerequisite for the customer satisfaction. Enhanced employee satisfaction
leads to higher level of employee retention. A stable and committed workforce ensures
successful knowledge transfer, sharing, and creation a key to continuous improvement,
innovation, and knowledge-based total customer satisfaction.
When companies are committed with providing high quality products and services; when
companies set high work standards for their employees; and when employees are empowered
through training and development, provided with knowledge and information, permitted to
make mistakes without punishment, and trusted; they will experience an increase in their
level of satisfaction at work. This level of satisfaction can be enhanced further if teamwork
and visionary leadership are introduced.
Continuous improvement comes from the efforts of the empowered employees motivated by
visionary leadership. This is supported by the findings that empowerment and visionary
leadership both have significant correlation with employee satisfaction. Teamwork is also
supported by the findings. In addition, the study found significant correlation between
employee satisfaction and employees intention to leave.
The success of a corporation depends very much on customer satisfaction. A high level of
customer service leads to customer retention, thus offering growth and profit opportunities to
the organization. There is a strong relationship between customer satisfaction and employee
satisfaction. Satisfied employees are more likely to stay with company and become
committed and have more likely to be motivated to provide high level of customer service, by
doing so will also further enhance the employees satisfaction through feeling of
achievement. Enhanced employee satisfaction leads to improved employee retention; and
employee stability ensures the successful implementation of continuous improvement and
customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction will no doubt lead to corporate success and
AURO UNIVERSITY

19

EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION AT POSITRONICS PVT LTD

greater job security. These will further enhance employee satisfaction. Therefore, employee
satisfaction is a prerequisite for customer satisfaction.
Employee satisfaction is closely related to Job satisfaction. In the next few paragraphs, I am
going to discuss Job satisfaction at length. Job satisfaction describes how content an
individual is with his or her job. It is a relatively recent term since in previous centuries the
jobs available to a particular person were often predetermined by the occupation of that
persons parent. There are a variety of factors that can influence a persons level of job
satisfaction. Some of these factors include the level of pay and benefits, the perceived
fairness o the promotion system within a company, the quality of the working conditions,
leadership and social relationships, the job itself (the variety of tasks involved, the interest
and challenge the job generates, and the clarity of the job description/requirements).
The happier people are within their job, the more satisfied they are said to be. Job satisfaction
is not the same as motivation, although it is clearly linked. Job design aims to enhance job
satisfaction and performance methods include job rotation, job enlargement and job
enrichment. Other influences on satisfaction include the management style and culture,
employee involvement, empowerment and autonomous workgroups. Job satisfaction is a very
important attribute which is frequently measured by organizations. The most common way of
measurement is the use of rating scales where employees report their reactions to their jobs.
Questions relate to relate of pay, work responsibilities, variety of tasks, promotional
opportunities the work itself and co-workers. Some questioners ask yes or no questions while
others ask to rate satisfaction on 1 5 scale 9where 1represents not all satisfied and 5
represents extremely satisfied).

Definitions
Job satisfaction has been defined as a pleasurable emotional state resulting from the appraisal
of ones job; an affective reaction to ones job; and an attitude towards ones job. Weiss
(2007) has argued that job satisfaction is an attitude but points out that researchers should
clearly distinguish the objects of cognitive evaluation which are affect (emotion), beliefs and
behaviours. This definition suggests that we from attitudes towards our jobs by taking into
account our feelings, our beliefs, and our behaviours.

Affect Theory
Edwin A. Lockes Range of Affect Theory (1976) is arguably the most famous job satisfaction
model. The main premises of this theory is that satisfaction is determined by a discrepancy
between what one wants in a job and what one has in a job. Further, the theory states that how
much one values a given facet of work (e.e. the degree of autonomy in a position) moderates
how satisfied/dissatisfied one becomes when expectations are/are not met. When a person
values a particular facet of a job, his satisfaction is more greatly impacted both positively
(when expectations are met) and negatively (when expectations are not met), compared to
one who does not value that facet. To illustrate, if Employee A values autonomy in the
workplace and Employee B is indifferent about autonomy, then Employee A would be more
satisfied in a position that offers a high degree of autonomy compared to Employee B. this
theory also states that too much of a particular facet will produces stronger feelings of
dissatisfaction the more a worker values that facet.
Dispositional Theory
Another well-known job satisfaction theory is the Dispositional Theory. It is a very general
theory that suggests that people have innate dispositions that cause them to have tendencies
toward a certain level of satisfaction, regardless of ones job. This approach became a notable
explanation of job satisfaction in light evidence that job satisfaction tends to be stable over
time and across careers and jobs. Research also indicates that identical twins have similar
levels of job satisfaction. A significant model that narrowed the scope of the Dispositional
Theory was the core Self-evaluations Model, proposed by Timorthy A. Judge in 1998. Judge
argued that there are four Core Self-evaluations that determine ones disposition towards job
satisfaction: self-esteem, general self-efficacy, locus of control, and neuroticism. This model
states that higher levels of self-esteem (the value one places on his self) and general selfefficacy (the belief in ones own competence) lead to higher work satisfaction. Having an
internal locus of control (believing one has control over her/his own life, as opposed to
outside forces having control) leads to higher job satisfaction. Finally, lower levels of
neuroticism lead to higher job satisfaction.

AURO UNIVERSITY

Two Factor Theory (Motivation Hygiene Theory)


Fredrick Herzbergs Two factor theory (also known as Motivator Hygiene Theory) attempts
to explain satisfaction and motivation in the workplace. This theory states that satisfaction
and dissatisfaction are driven by different factors motivation and hygiene factors,
respectively. Motivating factors are those aspects of the job that make people want o perform,
and provide people with satisfaction. These motivating factors are considered to be intrinsic
to the job, or the work carried out. Motivating factors include aspects of the working
environment such as pay, company policies, supervisory practices, and other working
conditions. While Herzbergs model has stimulated much research, researchers have been
unable to reliably empirically prove the model, with Hackman & Oldham suggesting that
Herzbergs original formulation of the model may have been a methodological artifact.
Furthermore, the theory does not consider individual differences, conversely predicting all
employees will react in an identical manner to changes in motivating/hygiene factors. Finally,
the model has been criticised in that it does not specify how motivating/hygiene factors are to
be measured.

Measuring Job Satisfaction


3.15

There are many methods for measuring job satisfaction. By far, the most common

method for collecting data regarding job satisfacting is the Likert scale (named after Rensis
Likert). Other less common methods of for gauging jobsatisfaction include: Yes/No
questions, True/False questions, point systems, checklist, forced choice answers. The Job
Descriptive Index (JDI), created by smith, Kendall, & Hulin (1969), job satisfaction that has
been widely used. It measures ones satisfaction in five facets: pay, promotions and
opportunities, coworkers, supervision, and the work itself. The scale is simple, participants
answer either yes, no, or decide in response to whether given statements accurately describe
one job. The Job in General Index is an overall measurement of job satisfaction. It was an
improvement to the job Descriptive Index because the JDI focused too much on individual
facets and not enough on work satisfaction in general.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
4.1

Introduction .

Research is a careful inquiry or examination to discover new

information and to expand and verify existing knowledge. According to Clifford Woddy,
Research is defined as the process which includes defining and redefining problems,
formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions, collecting, organizing and evaluating data,
making deductions and reaching conclusions and at last carefully testing the conclusions to
determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis.
Employee Satisfaction Measurement.
4.2

Employee satisfaction has been defined as a function of perceived performance and

expectations. It is a persons feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from comparing


a products outcome to his/her expectations.
4.3

If the performance (Company Services) falls short of expectations, the employee is

dissatisfied and if it matches the expectations, the employee is

satisfied. A high satisfaction

implies more purchase/use of the product or service. The process is however, more
complicated then it appears. It is more important for any organization to offer high
satisfaction, as it reflects high loyalty and it will not lead to switching over once a better offer
comes in.
4.4

Tools for tracking and measuring customer satisfaction:


(a) Complaint and Suggestion System: Employee can freely deliver complaints and
suggestions through facilities like suggestion box, personal meetings with seniors etc.
(b) Lost Employee Analysis: The exit interviews are conducted or employee loss rate is
computed.
(c) Employee Satisfaction Survey: Periodic surveys by use of questionnaire or telephone
calls to random sample of recent buyer help to find out customer satisfaction and
relate to repurchase intention and word of mouth score.

4.5

Statement of the Problem. Human behaviour is unpredictable.

One can act

according to ones own decision. No one can expect the same type of behaviour from anyone
at all circumstances. Human behaviour is highly influenced by the environment. Because of
this factor, we cannot expect that one can act in the same way on a particular problem in all
situations.
AURO UNIVERSITY

23

EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION AT POSITRONICS PVT LTD

4.6

Most times human behaviour is influenced by the nature of work group. Friendly

cooperative co-workers will definitely have a positive approach towards their work. The
work group serve as a source of support, comfort, advice and assistance to the individual
workers. A good work group makes the job more enjoyable, and the performance of the group
will be very high. This will automatically lead to the attainment of the individual as well as
die organizational goals. As a result every one of the organization will have a high job
satisfaction and will have a peaceful life.
4.7

If there is dissatisfaction with the job it will make the workers become restless which

may be reflected in the form of low production, high wastage of materials, accidents,
conflicts among workers, absenteeism, high employee turnover, strike and lockouts etc.
Therefore, it is more important to study the job satisfaction of workers as it one of deciding
factors which will determine the whole operation of an organization.
4.8

Scope of the Study. The scope of the study is as under:


(a)

Conduct the study in the premises of Avi Electronics & Networks Pvt Ltd,

Pune.

4.12

Primary Data.

The Primary Data required for this project work was collected

through Questionnaires. This method consisted of preparing detailed questions covering the
Employee satisfaction standards in the Company. Thereafter it was distributed amongst a total
of 30 personnel of the Company(respondents) who were randomly selected. Further, no
names were sought from those filling in this Questionnaire so as to obtain their free and frank
opinion as also to protect their privacy. The format of the Questionnaire is attached as
Annexure I to this report.
4.13

Secondary Data.

As Secondary Data is data which has been collected earlier for

other purposes, the requirement of this type of data with respect to this report was obtained
from the company website.
4.14

Sample Size and Method of Sampling.


(a)

Universe.

The details are as follows:

The Universe for the purpose of this report was finite i.e.

(b)

The Sampling Unit was an individual employed by Positronics Pvt Ltd,

Vadodra and the Sample Size was limited to a total of 30 personnel of the Company.
(c)

Method of Sampling adopted was Simple Random Sampling Method because

all employees have relatively different levels of satisfaction, thus a sample size of 30
was considered to be adequate.

Limitations of the Project


The limitations of the project are enumerated as follows:
(a)

The student had no prior exposure to the Corporate environment, its work

culture, work ethics etc. To that extent, understanding its dynamics in a limited period,
was difficult. This reflected on obtaining data/information from the Organization for
the purpose of this study.
(b)

Employees by and large are reluctant in expressing their feelings/thoughts in

the Questionnaire and tend to be biased.


(c)

The Organization is reluctant to openly share data/information and tend to

keep sensitive data/information confidential which is understandable.


(d)

Some personnel in the Organization, irrespective of their seniority, cannot pay

adequate attention to the requests of such studies given the constraints of time and the
work pressures prevalent in the Industry today.

Suggestions
6.2

In general, level of employee satisfaction in the company is quite high. However as

far as satisfaction goes, sky is the limit and there is no end to expectations. Following
suggestions are made with the intention of further improvement:(a)

System of reward and recognition may be improved. Though there is no bias

in rewards, employees have a feeling that their good work is not given credit in time.
(b)

Remuneration to employees may be improved, if feasible.

(c)

Communication (free and frank exchange between employees and employers)

may be given more attention.


(d)

Opportunities for personal learning, growth and personal development of the

employees deserves due attention. Investment in employees is indirectly investment in the


company.
(e)

Job assignment needs to be reviewed periodically in order to avoid monotony

and boredom.

CONCLUSION
7.1

The project has given me an opportunity to interact with the Corporate Sector and to

actually see how academic teaching of the classrooms in Management is translated to reality
and practice. In fact it was very heartening to experience that all concepts and theories
mentioned in various books are actually implemented by the Company albeit under a
different name to suit its needs/style/culture.
7.2

Also, undertaking this project has helped me in learning to think of a

topic/subject/issue in a logical manner and examining the issue in its totality. This has also
promoted interaction with people from different walks of life, experiences and outlooks thus
AURO UNIVERSITY

47

EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION AT POSITRONICS PVT LTD

giving me a broader perspective to the issue of training in particular and the business
environment in general.
7.3

Finally to conclude, I would like to submit that while pursuing this research, I learnt

that it is very important to learn the background/genesis of the topic/subject/issues first, so as


to understand the requirement/problem at hand and then consider its present status and future
prospects so as to arrive at a suggested set of solutions/recommendations/suggestions so vital
to the purpose of such studies.
