COMPANY PROFILE

A Brief Profile of the Canara Bank

Canara Bank is a major commercial bank. It was established in India in 1906, which makes it

among the older Indian banks. As of 2008, the bank had a network of 2641 branches, spread

across India and other countries. Its head office is located in Bangalore, India. The bank also has

international presence in several centers, including London, Hong Kong, Moscow, Shanghai,

Doha, and Dubai. In terms of business it is one of the largest nationalized commercial banks in

India, with a total business of about Rs.2 trillion.

History

In 1906 the late Sri. Ammembal Subba Rao Pai, a philanthropist, established the Canara Bank

Hindu Permanent Fund in Mangalore, India.[1] The bank changed its name to Canara Bank

Limited in 1910 when it incorporated.

In 1958, the Reserve Bank of India ordered Canara Bank to acquire G. Raghumathmul Bank,

in Hyderabad. This bank had been established in 1870, and had converted to a limited company

in 1925. At the time of the acquisition the bank had five branches.[2]

The Government of India nationalised Canara Bank, along with 13 other major commercial

banks of India, on 19 July 1969.

JOB SATISFACTION

Introduction

Human life has become very complex and completed in now-a-days. In modern society the needs

and requirements of the people are ever increasing and ever changing. When the people are ever

increasing and ever changing when the peoples needs are not fulfilled they become dissatisfied.

Dissatisfied people are likely to contribute very little for any purpose. Job satisfaction of

industrial workers us very important for the industry to function successfully. Apart from

managerial and technical aspects, employers can be considered as backbone of any industrial

development. To utilize their contribution they should be provided with good working conditions

to boost their job satisfaction..

Job satisfaction is important technique used to motivate the employees to work harder. It is often

said that “ A HAPPY EMPLOYEE IS A PRODUCTIVE EMPLOYEE”. A happy employee is

generally that employee who is satisfied with his job.

Job satisfaction is very important because most of the people spend a major portion of their life

at working place. Moreover, job satisfaction has its impact on the general life of the employees

also, because a satisfied employee is a contented and happy human being. A highly satisfied

worker has better physical and mental well being.

Definitions:

Page | 14


In simple words , job satisfaction can defined as extent of positive feelings or attitudes that

individuals have towards their jobs. When a person says that he has high job satisfaction , it

means that he really likes his job, feels good about it and value his job dignity.

ANDREW BRIN

“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.

-P. Robbins

“Job satisfaction is a general attitude towards one’s job: the difference

between the amount of reward workers receive and the amount they believe

they should receive.”

Fieldman and Arnold

Job satisfaction will be defined as amount of overall positive affect that individuals have

towards their jobs.

HISTORY

One of the biggest preludes to the study of job satisfaction was the Hawthorne studies. These

studies (1924-1933), primarily credited to Elton Mayo of the Harvard Business School, sought to

find the effects of various conditions (most notably illumination) on workers’ productivity.

These studies ultimately showed that novel changes in work conditions temporarily increase

productivity (called the Hawthorne Effect). It was later found that this increase resulted, not from

the new conditions, but from the knowledge of being observed. This finding provided strong

evidence that people work for purposes other than pay, which paved the way for researchers to

investigate other factors in job satisfaction.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Business_School

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elton_Mayo


Scientific management (aka Taylorism) also had a significant impact on the study of job

satisfaction. Frederick Winslow Taylor’s 1911 book, Principles of Scientific Management,

argued that there was a single best way to perform any given work task. This book contributed to

a change in industrial production philosophies, causing a shift from skilled labor and piecework

towards the more modern approach of assembly lines and hourly wages. The initial use of

scientific management by industries greatly increased productivity because workers were forced

to work at a faster pace. However, workers 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.

Importance to Worker and Organization

Frequently, work underlies self-esteem and identity while unemployment lowers self-worth and

produces anxiety. At the same time, monotonous jobs can erode a worker's initiative and

enthusiasm and can lead to absenteeism and unnecessary turnover. Job satisfaction and

occupational success are major factors in personal satisfaction, self-respect, self-esteem, and self-

development. To the worker, job satisfaction brings a pleasurable emotional state that often leads

to a positive work attitude. A satisfied worker is more likely to be creative, flexible, innovative,

and loyal.

For the organization, job satisfaction of its workers means a work force that is motivated and

committed to high quality performance. Increased productivity the quantity and quality of output

per hour worked seems to be a byproduct of improved quality of working life. It is important to

note that the literature on the relationship between job satisfaction and productivity is neither

conclusive nor consistent. However, studies dating back to Herzberg's (1957) have shown at least

low correlation between high morale and high productivity, and it does seem logical that more

satisfied workers will tend to add more value to an organization. Unhappy employees, who are

motivated by fear of job loss, will not give 100 percent of their effort for very long. Though fear

is a powerful motivator, it is also a temporary one, and as soon as the threat is lifted performance

will decline.

Tangible ways in which job satisfaction benefits the organization include reduction in complaints

and grievances, absenteeism, turnover, and termination; as well as improved punctuality and

worker morale. Job satisfaction is also linked to a more healthy work force and has been found to

be a good indicator of longevity. And although only little correlation has been found between job

satisfaction and productivity, Brown (1996) notes that some employers have found that

satisfying or delighting employees is a prerequisite to satisfying or delighting customers, thus

protecting the "bottom line." No wonder Andrew Carnegie is quoted as saying: "Take away my

people, but leave my factories, and soon grass will grow on the factory floors. Take away my

factories, but leave my people, and soon we will have a new and better factory"

Creating Job Satisfaction

So, how is job satisfaction created? What are the elements of a job that create job satisfaction?

Organizations can help to create job satisfaction by putting systems in place that will ensure that

workers are challenged and then rewarded for being successful. Organizations that aspire to

creating a work environment that enhances job satisfaction need to incorporate the following:

Flexible work arrangements, possibly including telecommuting

Training and other professional growth opportunities

Interesting work that offers variety and challenge and allows the worker opportunities to

"put his or her signature" on the finished product

Opportunities to use one's talents and to be creative

Opportunities to take responsibility and direct one's own work

FACTORS INFLUENING JOB SATISFACTION

There are no. of factors that influence job satisfaction in an organization. A no. of research

studies have been conducted in order to establish some of the causes that result in job

satisfaction. These studies have revealed consistent correlation of certain variables with the job

satisfaction. These factors are given below:

Organizational factors:

Page | 18

SOURCES OF JOB SATISFACTION

Organizational factors

Work environment factors

Work itself Personal factors

http://www.answers.com/topic/congenial


1). Salaries and wages : Wages do play a significant role in determining of satisfaction.

Salaries and wages is instrumental in fulfilling so many needs. Money facilities the obtaining of

food,

shelter, and clothing and provides the means to enjoy valued leisure interest

outside of work. More over, salary can serve as symbol of achievement and a

source of recognition. Employees often see pay as a reflection of organization.

Fringe benefits have not been found to have strong influence on job satisfaction

as direct wages.

2). Promotion chances: Promotion chances considerably affect the job satisfaction because

of the following reasons:

Firstly, promotion indicates an employees’s worth to the organization which is highly moral

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 involes positive changes e.g high salary, less supervision, increased status

etc which enhances job satisfaction.

3). Company policies: Organizational structure and policies also play an important role in

affection job satisfaction of employees. An autocratic and highly authoritative structure causes

resentment amomg the employees as compared to a structure which is more open and democratic

in nature.

Work environment factors:

1). Supervision:Two dimensions of supervisor style:

Employee centered or consideration supervisors who establish a

supportive personal relationship with subordinates and take a personal

interest in them.

Page | 19


The other dimension of supervisory style influence participation in

Decision making, employee who participates in decision that affect their

job, display a much higher level of satisfaction with supervisor an the

overall work situation .

2). Work group:

The nature of the work group or team will have effect on job satisfaction in the following ways:

A friendly and cooperative group provides opportunities to the group members to interact

with each other.

The work group group will be even a stronger sources of satisfaction when members have

similar attitudes and values.

Smaller groups provide greater opportunity for building mutual trust and understanding

as compared to larger groups.

Thus, group size and quality of interpersonal relations within the group play a significant

role in workers satisfaction.

3).Working condition: The employees desire good working condition because they lead to

greater physical comfort. The working conditions are important to employees

because they can influence life outside of work. If people are require to work

long hours and / or overtime, they will have very little felt for their families,

friends and recreation outside work. So the working conditions inside the organization should be

favorable.

Work itself

Along with pay, the content of the work itself plays a very major role in

determining how satisfied employees are with their jobs. By and large, workers

want jobs that are challenging; they do want to be doing mindless jobs day after

day. The two most important aspect of the work itself that influence job

satisfaction are variety and control over work methods and work place.

In general, job with a moderate amount of variety produce the most job

Page | 20


satisfaction. Jobs with too little variety cause workers to feel bored and fatigue.

Jobs with too much variety and stimulation cause workers to feel

psychologically stressed and ‘burnout’.

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 level of satisfaction.

Variety : A moderate amount of variety is very effective. Excessive variety produces

confusion and stress and too little variety causes monotony and fatigue which are

dissatisfiers.

Lack of autonomy and freedom: Lack of autonomy and freedom over work

methods and work pace can create helplessness and dissatisfaction.

Employees do not like strict supervision.

Interesting work : A work which is very interesting and challenging and gives status ,

provides satisfaction to the employees.

Role ambiguity and Role conflict : Role ambiguity and role conflict also lead to

confusion and job job dissatisfaction because employees do not know exactly what their

task is and what is expected of them.

Personal factors:

Age and 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 up at all with time are

more likely to be dissatisfied with their jobs.

Page | 21


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.

Personality: Some of the personality traits which are directly related to job satisfaction

are self assurance, self esteem, maturity , challenge and responsibility. Higher the person

is on Maslows needs hierarchy , the higher is the job satisfaction. This type of satisfaction

comes from within the person and is a function of his personality.

THEORITICAL AAPROCHES TO JOB SATISFACTION

Theoritical approaches to job satisfaction are as follows:

1) Need fulfillment theory: According to this theory , a person will be satisfied when

he gets what he wants from his job.

Job satisfaction will vary directly with the extent to which those needs of an individual ,

which can be satisfied are actually satisfied.

Thus, job satisfaction according to this theory , is a function of the degree to which the

employees needs are fulfilled in the giving situation.

Page | 22

TWO FACTOR THEORY

EQUITY THEORY

NEED FULFILLMEN THEORY

SOCIAL REFRENCE GROUP THEORY

NEED FULFILLMENT THEORY

EQUITY THEORY


2) Equity theory: According to this theory , every individual has a basic tendency to

compare his rewards to with those of a reference group. If he feels his rewards are

equitable with others doing the similar work in similar environment, he feels satisfied.

this theory thus belives that ‘a person job satisfaction depends upon his perceived equity

as determined by his output balance in comparison with input – output balance of others’.

This theory takes into account not only the needs of the employeer but also to the opinion

of the refrence group towards which the employee looks for guidance.

3) Two factor theory : This theory states that satisfaction and dissatisfaction are

independent of each other. One set of factors are known as hygiene factors act as

dissatisfiers. Their absence causes dissatisfaction like pay, humane working condiditons

etc. the other set of factors lead to satisfaction like promotion , recognition etc.

4) Social reference group theory : According to this theory an employee is satisfied

with his job when the job meets the interest , desires, and requirements of a

persons’reference groups. job satisfaction is a function of the degree to which the job

meets the approval of the group to which the individual looks for guidance in evaluating

the world and defining social reality.

5) Discrepancy theory : Job satisfaction and dissatisfaction are functions of perceived

relationship between what one wants from ones job and what one perceives it is actually

offerings.

Satisfaction is thus the difference between what one actually received are less than the

expected rewards , it causes satisfaction.

6) Equity discrepancy theory: this is a combination of equity and discrepancy

theory. Under this theory , satisfaction is defined as the difference between the outcomes

that one perceives he actually received and outcomes that one feels he should receive in

comparision with others. A person perception of what he should receive is influenenced

by the inputs and outputs of others. If inputs are similar to those of referent groups but his

outcomes are less, he is likely to be satisfied.

Page | 23


7). Affect Theory:

Edwin A. Locke’s Range of Affect Theory (1976) is arguably the most famous job

satisfaction model. The main premise 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.g. the degree of autonomy in a position)

moderates how satisfied/dissatisfied one becomes when expectations are/aren’t 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 doesn’t 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 and less satisfied in a position with little or no

autonomy compared to Employee B. This theory also states that too much of a particular facet

will produce stronger feelings of dissatisfaction the more a worker values that facet.

DETERMINANTS OF JOB SATISFACTION

While analyzing the various determinants of job satisfaction, we have to keep in mind that: all

individuals do no derive the same degree of satisfaction though they perform the same job in the

same job environment and at the same time. Therefore, it appears that besides the nature of job

and job environment, there are individual variables which affect job satisfaction. Thus, all those

factors which provide a fit among individual variables, nature of job, and situational variables

determine the degree of job satisfaction. Let us see what these factors are:

Individual factors:

Individuals have certain expectations from their jobs. If their expectations are met from the jobs,

they feel satisfied. These expectations are based on an individual’s level of education, age and

other factors.

Page | 24


Level of education: Level of education of an individual is a factor which determines the degree of job satisfaction.

For example, several studies have found negative correlation between the level of education,

particularly higher level of education, and job satisfaction. The possible reason for this

phenomenon may be that highly educated persons have very high expectations from their jobs

which remain unsatisfied. In their case, Peter’s principle which suggests that every individual

tries to reach his level of incompetence, applies more quickly.

Age:

Individuals experience different degree of job satisfaction at different stages of their life. Job

satisfaction is high at the initial stage, gets gradually reduced, starts rising upto certain stage, and

finally dips to a low degree. The possible reasons for this phenomenon are like this. When

individuals join an organization, they may have some unrealistic assumptions about what they

are going to drive from their work. These assumptions make them more satisfied. However,

when these assumptions fall short of reality, job satisfaction goes down. It starts rising again as

the people start to assess the jobs in right perspective and correct their assumptions. At the

last, particularly at the fag end of the career, job satisfaction goes down because of fear of

retirement and future outcome.

Other factors:

Besides the above two factors, there are other individual factors which affect job satisfaction. If

an individual does not have favourable social and family life, he may not feel happy at the

workplace. Similarly, other personal problems associated with him may affect his level of job

satisfaction. Personal problems associated with him may affect his level of job satisfaction.

Nature of job:

Nature of job determines job satisfaction which is in the form of occupation level and job

content.

Page | 25


Occupation level: Higher level jobs provide more satisfaction as compared to lower levels.

This happens because high level jobs carry prestige and status in the society which itself

becomes source of satisfaction for the job holders. For example, professionals derive more

satisfaction as compared to salaried people factory workers are least satisfied.

Job content:

Job content refers to the intrinsic value of the job which depends on the requirement of skills for

performing it, and the degree of responsibility and growth it offers. A higher content of these

factors provides higher satisfaction. For example, a routine and repetitive lesser satisfaction; the

degree of satisfaction progressively increases in job rotation, job enlargement, and job

enrichment.

Situational variables:

Situational variables related to job satisfaction lie in organizational context – formal and

informal. Formal organization emerges out of the interaction of individuals in the organization.

Some of the important factors which affect job important factors which affect job satisfaction are

given below:

1. Working conditions: Working conditions, particularly physical work environment, like

conditions of workplace and associated facilities for performing the job determine job

satisfaction. These work in two ways. First, these provide means job performance. Second,

provision of these conditions affects the individual’s perception about the organization. If

these factors are favourable, individuals experience higher level of job satisfaction.

2. Supervision: The type of supervision affects job satisfaction as in each type of supervision;

the degree of importance attached to individuals varies. In employee-oriented supervision, there

is more concern for people which is perceived favourably by them and provides them more

satisfaction. In job oriented supervision, there is more emphasis on the performance of the job

and people become secondary. This situation decreases job satisfaction.

Page | 26


3. Equitable rewards: The type of linkage that is provided between job performance and

rewards determines the degree of job satisfaction. If the reward is perceived to be based on the

job performance and equitable, it offers higher satisfaction. If the reward is perceived to be based

on considerations other than the job performance, it affects job satisfaction adversely.

4. Opportunity: It is true that individuals seek satisfaction in their jobs in the context of job

nature and work environment by they also attach importance to opportunities for promotion that

these job offer. If the present job offers opportunity of promotion is lacking, it reduces

satisfaction.

5. Work group: Individuals work in group either created formally of they develop on their

own to seek emotional satisfaction at the workplace. To the extent such groups are cohesive; the

degree of satisfaction is high. If the group is not cohesive, job satisfaction is low. In a cohesive

group, people derive satisfaction out of their interpersonal interaction and workplace becomes

satisfying leading to job satisfaction.

Measuring job satisfaction

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

collecting data regarding job satisfaction is the Likert scale (named after Rensis Likert). Other

less common methods of for gauging job satisfaction include: Yes/No questions, True/False

questions, point systems, checklists, and forced choice answers. This data is typically collected

using an Enterprise Feedback Management (EFM) system.

The Job Descriptive Index (JDI), created by Smith, Kendall, & Hulin (1969), is a specific

questionnaire of job satisfaction that has been widely used. It measures one’s satisfaction in five

facets: pay, promotions and promotion opportunities, coworkers, supervision, and the work itself.

The scale is simple, participants answer either yes, no, or can’t decide (indicated by ‘?’) in

response to whether given statements accurately describe one’s job.

The Job in General Index is an overall measurement of job satisfaction. It is an

improvement to the Job Descriptive Index because the JDI focuses too much on individual facets

and not enough on work satisfaction in general.

Other job satisfaction questionnaires include: the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ),

the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS), and the Faces Scale. The MSQ measures job satisfaction in 20

facets and has a long form with 100 questions (five items from each facet) and a short form with

20 questions (one item from each facet). The JSS is a 36 item questionnaire that measures nine

facets of job satisfaction. Finally, the Faces Scale of job satisfaction, one of the first scales used

widely, measured overall job satisfaction with just one item which participants respond to by

choosing a face.

JOB SATISFACTION AND EMOTIONS

Mood and emotions while working are the raw materials which cumulate to form the affective

element of job satisfaction. (Weiss and Cropanzano, 1996).. Moods tend to be longer lasting but

often weaker states of uncertain origin, while emotions are often more intense, short-lived and

have a clear object or cause.

There is some evidence in the literature that state moods are related to overall job satisfaction.[ Positive and negative emotions were also found to be significantly related to overall job

satisfaction.

Frequency of experiencing net positive emotion will be a better predictor of overall job

satisfaction than will intensity of positive emotion when it is experienced.

Emotion regulation and emotion labor are also related to job satisfaction. Emotion work (or

emotion management) refers to various efforts to manage emotional states and displays. Emotion

regulation includes all of the conscious and unconscious efforts to increase, maintain, or decrease

one or more components of an emotion. Although early studies of the consequences of emotional

labor emphasized its harmful effects on workers, studies of workers in a variety of occupations

suggest that the consequences of emotional labor are not uniformly negative.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Minnesota_Satisfaction_Questionnaire&action=edit&redlink=1


It was found that suppression of unpleasant emotions decreases job satisfaction and the

amplification of pleasant emotions increases job satisfaction. The understanding of how emotion

regulation relates to job satisfaction concerns two models:

1. Emotional dissonance . Emotional dissonance is a state of discrepancy between public

displays of emotions and internal experiences of emotions, that often follows the process of

emotion regulation.Emotional dissonance is associated with high emotional exhaustion, low

organizational commitment, and low job satisfaction.

2. Social interaction model . Taking the social interaction perspective, workers’ emotion

regulation might beget responses from others during interpersonal encounters that

subsequently impact their own job satisfaction. For example: The accumulation of favorable

responses to displays of pleasant emotions might positively affect job satisfaction

performance of emotional labor that produces desired outcomes could increase job

satisfaction.

CONSEQUENCES OF JOB SATISFACTION

Reasearch has concluded that there is a relationship between job satisfaction and performance of

the employees. Thus, job satisfaction or job dissatisfaction is an important concern for

management. High job satisfaction may lead to improved productivity , decreased turnover ,

improved attendance , less job stress. Job dissatisfaction produces low morale among the

employees and more of stress. The following subtopics explain the outcomes of job satisfaction:

1). Job satisfaction and productivity : There are two views about the relationship

between job satisfaction and productivity:

1. A happy worker is a productive worker,

2. A happy worker is not necessarily a productive worker.

Page | 29

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_dissonance


The first view establishes a direct cause-effect relationship between job satisfaction and

productivity; when job satisfaction increases, productivity increases; when satisfaction decreases,

productivity decreases. The basic logic behind this is that a happy worker will put more efforts

for job performance. However , this may not be true in all cases. For example, a worker having

low expectations from his jobs may feel satisfied but he may not put his efforts more vigorously

because of his low expectations from the job. Therefore, this viewdoes not explain fully the

complex relationship between job satisfaction and productivity.

The another view: That is a satisfied worker is not necessarily a productive worker explains

the relationship between job satisfaction and productivity. Various research studies also support

this view. This relationship may be explained in terms of the operation of two factors: effect of

job performance on satisfaction and organizational expectations from individuals for job

performance.

1. Job performance leads to job satisfaction and not the other way round.

The basic factor for this phenomenon is the rewards (a source of satisfaction) attached with

performance. There are two types of rewards intrinsic and extrinsic. The intrinsic reward stems

from the job itself which may be in the form of growth potential, challenging job, etc. The

satisfaction on such a type of reward may help to increase productivity. The extrinsic reward is

subject to control by management such as salary, bonus, etc. Any increase in these factors does

not help to increase productivity though these factors increase job satisfaction.

2. A happy worker does not necessarily contribute to higher productivity because he has to

operate under certain technological constraints and, therefore , he cannot go beyond certain

output. Further, this constraint affects the management’s expectations from the individual in the

form of lower output. Thus, the work situation is pegged to minimally acceptable

level of performance. However, it does not mean that the job satisfaction has no impact on

productivity. A satisfied worker may not necessarily lead to increased productivity but a

dissatisfied worker leads to lower productivity.

Page | 30


2).Job satisfaction and employee turnover: High employee turnover is a matter of

concern for the management as it disrupts the normal operations of the organization. Managerial

concern is mostly for the turnover which arises from job dissatisfaction.

The employees thus tries to keep the employees satisfied on their jobs to minimize the turnover.

Though , high job satisfaction in itself cannot keep the turnover low, but considerable job

dissatisfaction will definitely increase the employee turnover.

The employee turnover is affected by certain other factors also like if people are highly satisfied

with their jobs, they are willing to leave if there are better opportunities available anywhere else.

If no other opportunities are available , the employees will stay where they are irrespective of

dissatisfaction.

On the overall basis , we can say that there is an important role played by job satisfaction in

employee turnover.

3). Job satisfaction and absenteeism: Absenteeism refers to the frequency of absence of

job holder from the workplace either unexcused absence due to some avoidable reasons or long

absence due to some unavoidable reasons. It is the former type of absence which is a matter of

concern. This absence is due to lack of satisfaction from the job which produces a ‘lack of will to

work’ and alienate a worker form work as for as possible. Thus, job satisfaction is related to

absenteeism.

4). Job satisfaction and union activities: High level of job satisfaction reflects a highly

favourable organizational climate resulting in attracting and retaining better workers. Satisfied

employees are not interested in unions and they do not perceive them as necessary.

5). Job satisfaction and safety: When people are dissatisfied from their jobs, company

and supervisors, they are more prone to experience accidents.

A satisfied worker will always be careful and attentive towards his job and the chances of

accidents will be less.

Workers' Roles in Job Satisfaction

If job satisfaction is a worker benefit, surely the worker must be able to contribute to his or her

own satisfaction and well-being on the job. The following suggestions can help a worker find

personal job satisfaction:

Seek opportunities to demonstrate skills and talents. This often leads to more challenging

work and greater responsibilities, with attendant increases in pay and other recognition.

Develop excellent communication skills. Employers value and reward excellent reading,

listening, writing, and speaking skills.

Know more. Acquire new job-related knowledge that helps you to perform tasks more

efficiently and effectively. This will relieve boredom and often gets one noticed.

Demonstrate creativity and initiative. Qualities like these are valued by most

organizations and often result in recognition as well as in increased responsibilities and

rewards.

Develop teamwork and people skills. A large part of job success is the ability to work

well with others to get the job done.

Accept the diversity in people. Accept people with their differences and their

imperfections and learn how to give and receive criticism constructively.

See the value in your work. Appreciating the significance of what one does can lead to

satisfaction with the work itself. This helps to give meaning to one's existence, thus

playing a vital role in job satisfaction.

Learn to de-stress. Plan to avoid burnout by developing healthy stress-management

techniques.

Job Satisfaction and Customer Satisfaction

Satisfied workers provide better customer service if it linked to Customer Satisfaction factors:

Satisfied employees increase customer satisfaction because:

They are more friendly, upbeat, and responsive.

They are less likely to turnover, which helps build long-term customer relationships.

They are experienced.

Dissatisfied customers increase employee job dissatisfaction.

Assuring Job Satisfaction

Assuring job satisfaction, over the longterm, requires careful planning and effort both by

management and by workers. Managers are encouraged to consider such theories as

Herzberg's(1957) and Maslow's (1943) Creating a good blend of factors that contribute to

a stimulating, challenging, supportive, and rewarding work environment is vital. Because

of the relative prominence of pay in the reward system, it is very important that salaries

be tied to job responsibilities and that pay increases be tied to performance rather than

seniority.

So, in essence, job satisfaction is a product of the events and conditions that people

experience on their jobs. Brief (1998) wrote: "If a person's work is interesting, his pay is

fair, his promotional opportunities are good, his supervisor is supportive, and his

coworkers are friendly, then a situational approach leads one to predict he is satisfied

with his job" Very simply put, if the pleasures associated with one's job outweigh the

pains, there is some level of job satisfaction

job satisfaction among employees because if employees are satisfied then customers associated

with it will also be satisfied.
