INTRODUCTION
Job satisfaction is a specific subject of attitudes. Attitudes reflect one’s
feelings towards individuals, organizations and objects. Job satisfaction refers to
one’s attitude towards a job. Attitudes refer to predisposition to respond but
satisfaction relates to the performance factors. Attitudes are long lasting, but
satisfaction is dynamic and it keeps on changing. It can decline even more quickly
than it developed. Thus, managers need to pay attention to job satisfaction constantly.
In simple words, job satisfaction can be defined as the extent of positive
feelings or attitudes that individuals have towards their jobs. When a person say that
he has high job satisfaction, it means he really likes his job, feels good about it and
values his job highly.
Job satisfaction is the end feeling of a person after performing a task. To the
extent that a person’s job fulfills his dominant needs and in consistent with his
expectations and values, the job will be satisfying. The feeling would be positive or
negative depending upon whether need is satisfied or not.
1.1 Definitions
“Job Satisfaction is a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the
appraisal of one’s job or job experience”.
E. A. Locke
“Job satisfaction is the set of Favorable or unfavorable feelings with which
employees view their work”.
Keith Davis & Newstown
“Job satisfaction is defined as the amount of overall positive affect or (feeling)
that individuals have towards their jobs.’
Field Man Arnold
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.

LITERATURE SURVEY
became exhausted and dissatisfied, thus leaving researchers with new questions to
answer regarding job satisfaction.
It should also be noted that the work of W. L. Bryan, Walter Dill Scott, and
Hugo Munsterberg set the tone for Taylor;s work.
Some argue that Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, a motivation theory.
Laid the foundation for job satisfaction theory. This theory explains that people seek
to satisfy five specific needs in life- physiological needs, safety needs, social needs,
self-esteem needs, and self-actualization. This model served as a good basis from
which early researchers could develop job satisfaction theories.

Factors Itself Factors
Factors
A. ORGANISATIONAL FACTORS
Some of the organizational factors which affect job satisfaction are :
2. Promotion Chances
Promotional chances considerably affect the job satisfaction because of the
following reasons:
Firstly, Promotion indicates an employee’s worth to the organization which is
highly morale boosting. This is particularly true in case of high level jobs.
Secondly, Employee takes promotion as the ultimate achievement in his career
and when it is realized, he feels extremely satisfied.
Thirdly, Promotion involves positive changes e.g. higher salary, less
supervision, more freedom, more challenging work assignments, increased
responsibilities, status and like.
3. Company Policies
2. Work Group
The nature of the work group or team will have effect on job satisfaction in the
following ways
i) A friendly, and co-operative group provides opportunities to the group
members to interact with each other. It serves as a source of support
comfort, advice and assistance to the individual group members. If on the
other hand, the people are difficult to get along with, the work group will
have a negative impact on job satisfaction.
ii) The work group will be even a stronger source of satisfaction when
members have similar attitudes and values. In such a group, there will less
friction on day to day basis.
iii) Smaller groups provide greater opportunity for building mutual trust and
understanding as compared to larger groups.
Thus, the group size and quality of interpersonal relations within the group
play a significant role in worker’s satisfaction.
3. Working conditions
Good working conditions are desirable by the employees, as they lead to more
physical comfort. People desire that there should be a clean and healthy working
environment. Temperature, humidity ventilation, lighting and noise, hours of work,
cleanliness of the work place and adequate tools and equipment are the features which
affect job satisfaction. While the desirable working conditions are taken for granted
and may not contribute heavily towards job satisfaction, poor working conditions do
become a source of job dissatisfaction. Simply because they lead to physical
discomfort and physical danger.
SATISFACTION
UNFAVOURABLE FAVOURABLE
WORK WORK
ENVIRONEMENT ENVIRONMENT
SATISFACTION
As shown in the figure, all the four employees are dissatisfied when the
working conditions are unfavorable. However, as the working conditions start
becoming favourable, the job satisfaction of employee A and B increases sharply
while employees C and D have only minor increase in satisfaction.
C. WORK ITSELF
The content of the work itself plays a major role in determining the level of
job satisfaction. Some of the aspects of the work which affect job satisfaction are :
1) Job Scope
It provides the amount of responsibility, work pace and feed back. The higher
the level of these factors, higher the job scope and higher the level of satisfaction.
2) Variety
A moderate amount of variety is very effective. Excessive variety produces
confusion and stress and a tool little variety causes monotony and fatigue which are
dissatisfiers.
3) Lact of Autonomy and Freedom
Lack of autonomy and freedom over work methods and work pace can create
helplessness and dissatisfaction. Employees do not like it when their every step and
every action is determined by the supervisor.
5) Interesting work
A work which is very interesting and challenging and gives status, provides
satisfaction to the employees as compared to work which is boring and monotonous.
D. PERSONAL FACTORS
Personal attributes of individuals also play a very important role as to whether
they are satisfied at the job or not. Pessimists and people with negative attitudes will
complain about everything including the job. They will always find something wrong
in every job to complain about. Some of the important persona factors are;
1) Age of Seniority
With age, people become more mature and realistic and less idealistic so that
they are willing to accept available resources and rewards and be satisfied about the
situation. With the passage of time, people move into more challenging and
responsible positions. People who do not move upto at all with time are more likely
to be dissatisfied with their job.
2) Tenure
Employees with longer tenure are expected to be highly satisfied with their
jobs. Tenure assures job security, which is highly satisfactory to employees. They
can easily plan for their future without any fear of losing their jobs.
3) Personality
Some of the personality traits which are directly related to job satisfaction are
self assurance, self esteem, maturity, decivisiveness, sense of autonomy, challenge
and responsibility. Higher the person is on Maslow’s needs hierarchy, the higher is
the job satisfaction. This type of satisfaction comves from within the person and is a
function of his personality.
Accordingly, in addition to providing a healthy work environment
management must ensure that the employee is happy with himself and has a positive
outlook on like.
Intrinsic
rewards
This figure explains that good job performance will lead to rewards, both
intrinsic and extrinsic which will lead to satisfaction. An employee who is a poor
performer will get less rewards and will be less satisfied with his job experience.
However, the saying that “A happy worker is a productive worker” is not
always wrong. It people receive rewards which have both intrinsic and extrinsic value
and they feel that these rewards are equitable, they will be satisfied and this will lead
to greater job performance.
Moreover, research also indicates that job satisfaction may not necessarily
lead to improvement of individual performance but it does lead to departmental and
organizational level improvement.
with the extent to which those needs of an individual which can be satisfied are
actually satisfied. Vroom views satisfaction is positively related to the degree to
which one’s need are fulfilled. The fulfillment theory suffers from a major drawback.
Satisfaction is a function of not only what a person receives but what he feels he
should receive. What may satisfy one individual may not satisfy the other due to
difference in their expectations. The strength of an individual’s desire or his level of
inspiration is an important determinant of job satisfaction. Thus, job satisfaction is a
function of the degree to which the employee’s needs are fulfilled in the job situation.
2. EQUITY THEORY
Under this theory, it is believed that a person’s job satisfaction depends upon
his perceived equity as determined by his input-output balance in comparison with the
input-output balance of others. Every individual compares his rewards with those of a
‘reference group’. If he feels his rewards are equitable in comparison with others
doing similar work, he feels satisfied. Job satisfaction is thus a function of the degree
to which job characteristics meet the desires of the reference group. For example, one
study of the effects of community features on job satisfaction revealed that workers
living in a well to do neghbourhood felt less satisfied that those living in poor
neighbourhood.
A
Perceived Perceived
Personal Outcomes Actually
Inputs Received A= B
Satisfaction
A<B
Perceived Perceived Perceived B Dissatisfaction
Inputs of Outputs of Personal Outcomes A>B Guilt
comparison comparison that should be Discomfort
Others Others Received
Equity theory takes into account not only the needs of an individual but also
the opinion of the reference group to which the individual looks for guidance.
4. DISCREPANCY THEORY
According to this theory job satisfaction depends upon what a person actually
receives from his job and what he expects to receive. When the rewards actually
received are less than the expected rewards it causes dissatisfaction. In the words of
Locke, “job satisfaction and dissatisfaction are functions of perceived relationship
between what one wants from one’s job and what one perceives it is actual offering.
In other words, satisfaction is the difference fails to reveal whether over-satisfaction is
or is not a dimension of dissatisfaction and if so, how does it differ from
dissatisfaction arising out of the situation when received outcomes are less that the
outcomes one feels he should receive.
B
Perceived
Outcomes Received A=B
Perceived satisfaction
A>B
Perceived Dissatisfaction
Outcomes one Feels B A<B
He should Receives Perceived over Satisfaction
5. EQUITY-DISCREPANCY THEORY
This is a combination of equity and discrepancy theories. Lawler has adopted
the difference approach of discrepancy theory rather than the ration approach of
equity theory. From equity theory the concept of comparison has been selected to
serve as an intervening variable. Under this theory satisfaction is divined as the
difference between the outcomes that one perceives he actually received and
outcomes that one feels he should receive in comparison with others. When the
individual feel that when he actually received is equal to what he perceives he should
receive there is satisfaction. Thus, an individual’s reception of his reward is
influenced by more than just the objective amount of that factor. Because of this
psychological influence the same amount of reward often can be seen quite differently
by two people, to one it can be a larger amount, while to another person it can be a
small amount.
This model reveals that a person’s perception of what he should receive is
influenced by the inputs and outputs of others. If his inputs are similar to those of
referent groups but his outcomes are less he is likely to be dissatisfied. Lawler
suggests that those individuals are likely to be more satisfied who perceive:
Perceived Personal
Job Inputs Perceived Amount that A
should be Received
Perceived inputs
and Outcomes of A= B → Satisfaction
Different Groups A> B → Dissatisfaction
A< B → Guilt inequity
Discomfort
Perceived
Outcomes of
Different Groups
Perceived Amount Received B

b) Critical Incidents:
This method of measuring job satisfaction was popularized by Fredrick
Herzberg and his associates. It involves asking employees to describe incidents on
the job when they were particularly satisfied or dissatisfied. Then the incidents are
analysed in terms of their contents and identifying those closely related aspects
responsible for the positive and negative attitudes.
c) Personnel Interview :
This method facilitates an indepth exploration through interviewing of job
attitudes. The main advantage in this method is that additional information or
clarifications can be obtained promptly.
d) Action Tendencies:
By this method, job satisfaction can be measured by asking questions and
gathering information on how they feel like behaving with respect to certain aspects
of their jobs.
This method provides employees more opportunity to express their indepth
feeling.
OBJECTIVES OF STUDY
A Statement of hypothesis
When a person says that he has high job satisfaction, it means that he really
likes his job, feels good about it and values his job highly. Generally, employees job
satisfaction is adversely affected by substandard working conditions.

LIMITATIONS OF STUDY
1. This research comes under Attitudinal research. Job Satisfaction one of the
two work attitudes. In Organizational Behavior, perhaps the attitude of
greatest interest is the general attitude of employees towards their job, often
called job satisfaction. It does not often happen that individual’s behaviors are
consistent with their attitudes at the workplace. So it is very difficult to
measure attitudes and attempt to predict the subsequent behaviors accordingly.
2. This research is related to Human Beings and human beings are bound to
change in course of time. Hence the validity of the data collected,
observations, conclusions are bound to undergo changes..
3. There are many variables, which are important from the point of view of
theoretical treatment. But these variables need not be of much practical usage
in managerial decision making.
All the conclusions are drawn based on the analysis and interpretation of the
primary data regarding the Job Satisfaction of the employees of THE LATE SMT.SAI
BAI MOTE SUB DISTRICT GENERAL HOSPITAL,SHEGAON.
Facilities
• From table No. of the analysis and interpretation, it is concluded that most
of the employees are satisfied with the Infrastructure and only few employees
are dissatisfied, which are negligible in number. It means the infrastructure of
this organization is good or satisfactory.
• From table No. ,it is concluded that most of the employees are dissatisfied
with the workplace regarding cleanliness and hygiene. This is because of the
unhygienic conditions i.e. improper lighting, humidity, ventilation, lavetories
and poor maintenance of the facilities in the hospital. A very few employees
are satisfied. Good working conditions are desirable by the employees as they
lead to more physical comfort.
• From table No. ,it is concluded that most of the employees are dissatisfied
with basic amenities provided by the hospital. This is because, there are very
few staff quarters for employees, canteen facility is not available, there is no
provision of Creche for the children of Women employees. This contributes to
dissatisfaction.
Working Conditions
• From table No. of the analysis and interpretation, it is concluded that most of
the employees are dissatisfied with the working hours and only few employees
are satisfied, which are negligible in number. It means most of them were
dissatisfied due to un convenient working hours, night shifts. Nursing staff
members are always because they have to manage their home affaires as well.
• From table No. ,it is concluded that most of the employees are dissatisfied
with the workload. This is because of the work overload. There are various
posts which are vacant since last years and the Government is running the
hospital with inefficient number of employees.
• From table No. ,it is concluded that most of the employees are dissatisfied
with availability of resources provided by the hospital. This is because, most
of the resources are not available on time. Due to this Doctors are not able to
provide proper treatment to the patients. Ex.: lack of medicines, stock out of
blood in Blood Bank, most of the equipments are under maintenance, always.
Supervision
• From table No. ,it is concluded that near about 2/3 of the employees are
satisfied with the nature supervision of the medical superintendent. Rest other
employees are dissatisfied as most of them are working since many years and
they need some kind of autonomy.
Work Group
• From table No. of the analysis and interpretation, it is concluded that most
of the employees are satisfied with the interpersonal relationship and very few
employees are dissatisfied, which are negligible in number. It means most of
them were satisfied. There is healthy relationship among the employees which
provides the opportunities to the group members to interact with each other. It
serves as a source of support, comfort, advice and assistance to the individual
group members. There is less friction on day to day basis.

the way of communication. This is because there is proper information flow
in the organization. There is effective and efficient upward, downward and
horizontal communication across the organization.
• From table No. ,it is concluded that most of the employees are satisfied.
They have the team spirit, co-operation while working. Team spirit is the
important factor to have good effect on job satisfaction. Very few employees
are dissatisfied who may be dissatisfied due to personal factors.
Work Itself
• From table No. of the analysis and interpretation, it is concluded more
employees are dissatisfied with the scope of the job and lesser employees are
satisfied. There is lesser scope in Government organizations.
• From table No. ,it is concluded that most of the employees are dissatisfied
because their jobs are monotonus. There is no variety in their roles and job.
• From table No. ,it is concluded that most of the employees are dissatisfied
because of lesser autonomy and freedom. They have no freedom to take the
decisions.
Organizational Factors
• From table No. of the analysis and interpretation, it is concluded that most
of the employees are satisfied with the salaries and wages and only few
employees are dissatisfied, which are negligible in number. It means most of
them were satisfied regarding the compensation policies of the Government.
• From table No. ,it is concluded that most of the employees are dissatisfied
with the promotional opportunities. Some employees are satisfied. This is
because of the promotional policies. These are not based on efficiency but on
seniority basis.
• From table No. ,it is concluded that most of the employees are satisfied with
the policies of the Governmental. Very few employees are dissatisfied. This is
basically because there is always Job Security and reasonable salaries.
Other Factors
• From table No. of the analysis and interpretation, it is concluded that most
of the employees are dissatisfied with organizational discipline and some
employees are satisfied. Mostly in Government organizations there are not
proper disciplinary measures and due to this these organizations do not work
efficiently and effectively.
• From table No. ,it is concluded that most of the employees are dissatisfied
with the code of conduct. This is because, these are unwritten norms of
SUGGESTIONS
1. Greater Autonomy: Possibly the single most effective way of increasing job
satisfaction is to give more freedom to the employees to do their work in their
own way. People will work harder and derive satisfaction if they are given the
freedom to make their own decisions.
2. Variety and Scope: A moderate amount of variety is very effective.
Excessive variety produces confusion and stress and a too little variety causes
monotony and fatigue which are dissatisfier. The higher amount of
responsibility, work pace and feed back contributes to the scope.
3. Working Conditions: Good working conditions are desirable by the
employees as they lead to more physical comfort. There should be a clean and
healthy working environment. Proper ventilation, lighting, clean and hygienic
workplace etc. should be maintained. There should be provision of crèche for
the children of women employees and canteen facility providing subsidized
foods for the employees. Good working conditions are desirable by the
employees as they lead to more physical comfort.
4. Supervision: There are two dimensions of supervisory styles. First is
Employee Centeredness where the supervisor is friendly and supportive of the
workers. Second is Participation. There should be employee participation in
decision making so that it will help in creating an environment which is highly
conductive to job satisfaction.
