Industry Profile
The History of Labels:
Colorful paper labels have been used to identify products since the early 1880’s. Introduced to America by European artists, this profession became known as lithography, the first commercial art. The goal was easy: catch the customer's eye. In the early 1930s, an entrepreneur R. Stanton Avery manufactured the world's first self-adhesive labels and made it into a successful business. Pressure sensitive labels are an integral part of our lifestyle today. In 1969 Gary Stark weather, at Xerox's research facility in Webster, New York, demonstrates using a laser beam with the xerography process to create a laser printer. In 1984 Hewlett-Packard introduced the LaserJet laser printer, featuring 300dpi resolution, for US$3,600. World label continues to be innovative with new labeling products.
History of Indian Label Industry:
The Indian label Industry is now firmly in the fast growth path. The Indian label industry has a growth of 20% per annum and is at par with its global counterparts. As the base has increased, the incremental growth has become significant. In this scenario, many new players are entering the field and the established players are moving up the value chain. The trend touches every section of the industry. While the growth of self adhesive label and within the segment the interest in transparent and filmic labels is the major focus, the wet glue label holds it own and shows a double digit growth. The flexible shrink and wrap around label is the fastest growing segment albeit still having a small base. The focus is also on value addition in terms of aesthetic and finishes at one level and the brand protection, security and product tracking at the other level, the advent of ‘smart’ label adds another dimension to the growth story, the industry is set to surpass the US$ 1 billion mark in the next three years.

The labels printed in the country can be compared with the best in terms of quality, variety and prices. By and large, paper, films, adhesives, silicon, release liners and printing inks are all available locally and the scene has the homegrown players rubbing shoulders with global giants. Indian label stock market is also seeing a lot of action. Indian manufacturers have existed and grown along with the global giants. The growth translates into a demand for increasingly sophisticated and faster label presses. While many new label presses are being imported into the country the native manufacturers have stepped into serve the entry level and low-end segment. The label stock manufacturers in the country continue to grow and the home grown and international players find abundant opportunities in their niches. Inks, coatings, adhesives, release lines and other consumables are all available locally.

MC KENSY’S 7S FRAME WORK
The 7-S is a framework for analyzing organizations and their effectiveness. It
looks at the seven key elements that make the organizations successful, they are Strategy;
Structure; Systems; Style; Skills; Staff; and Shared Values. The 7S framework first
appeared in “The Art of Japanese Management” by Richard Pascale and Anthony Athos
in 1981. They had been looking at how Japanese industry had been so successful, at
around the same time the Tom Peters and Robert Waterman were exploring what made a
company excellent. The 7S model was formed at a meeting of the four authors in 1978. It
went on to appear in “In Search of Excellence” by Peters and Waterman, and was taken
up as a basic tool by the global management consultancy Mckinsey; sometime later it is
called Mckinsey 7S Model or framework.
The 7-S is distinguished into hard S’s and soft S’s. The hard elements are feasible
and easy to identify. They can be found in strategy statements, corporate plans,
organizational charts and other documentations. The four soft S’s however, are hardly
feasible. They are difficult to describe since capabilities, values and elements of corporate
culture are continuously developing and changing. They are determined by the people at
work in the organization. Therefore it is more difficult to plan or influence characteristics
of the soft elements.
HARD S’s:
Structure: Basis for specialization and co-ordination influenced by organisation’s
size.
Strategy: Actions a company plans in response to unanticipated changes.
B N M I T School Of Management Studies Page 17
IMAGE LABELS PVT. LTD.
System: Formal and informal procedures that support strategy and structure.
SOFT S’s:
Style/culture: The culture of the organisation consists of organisation culture and
management style.
Staff: The human resources of the company.
Skills: The distinctive competencies of the company.
Shared values: Guiding concepts and fundamental ideas around which a company
is built.

Motivated employees will put maximum efforts for achieving organisational goals. The untapped reservoirs of physical and mental capabilities are tapped to the maximum extent. Better performance will also result in higher productivity.
Low employee turnover and absenteeism:
When the employees are satisfied with their jobs and they are well motivated with monetary and non-monetary incentives, they will not leave the job. The rate of absenteeism will also be low because they will try to increase their output.
Better organisational image:
Those organisations which offer better monetary and non-monetary facilities to their employees will have a better image.
Better industrial relations:

A good motivational system will create job satisfaction among employees. The employment will offer the employees better service conditions and various other incentives.
TYPES OF MOTIVATION:-
There are two ways by which people can be motivated. They are:
1. Positive motivation or pull-mechanism
2. Negative motivation or push-mechanism.
1. Positive motivation:
People are said to be motivated positively when they are shown a reward and the way to achieve it. Such a reward may be financial or non-financial. Monetary incentives provide the worker with a better standard of life while non-monetary incentives satisfy the ego of a man. Positive motivation seeks to create an optimistic atmosphere in the enterprise.
Monetary motivators include:
Incentives
Pay in conformity with market trend
Skill-based reward system
Merit pay
Employee stock option
Performance bonus.
Non-Monetary motivators include:

Awards: Trophies, Plaques, Citations
Tokens: Vacation trips, Gifts like Watches or Tie-pins
Club membership
Medical benefits
Group life insurance
Retirement benefits.
2. Negative motivation:
Negative or fear motivation is based on force or fear. Fear causes employees to act in a certain way. In case, they do not act accordingly then they may be punished with demotions or lay-offs. The fear acts as a push mechanism. Fear creates frustration, a hostile state of mind and an unfavourable attitude towards the job which hinders efficiency and productivity.
THEORIES OF MOTIVATION:-
There are several theories on motivation. The significant theories among them are:
Maslow’s theory of hierarchy of needs
Herzberg’s two-factor theory
Vroom’s expectancy theory
Alderfer’s ERG theory
The Porter and Lawler model of expectancy theory
Mc Gregor’s theory X and Y
Carrot and stick approach theory
Acquired needs theory
B N M I T School Of Management Studies Page 31

Equity theory of work motivation.
MASLOW’S THEORY OF HIERARCHY NEEDS:
According to Maslow, human needs form a hierarchy, starting at the bottom with the physiological needs and ascending to the highest need of self-actualisation. He has categorized human needs into five categories. He says when one set of needs are satisfied, they no longer work as motivators as a man seeks to satisfy the next higher level needs. There is a priority of certain needs over others. The importance of needs will influence the level of motivation.
MASLOW’S NEED HIERARCHY
The need hierarchy:
1) Physiological Needs:
B N M I T School Of Management Studies Page 32
Physiological Needs
Security Needs
Social Needs
Esteem Needs
Self Actualisation
IMAGE LABELS PVT. LTD.
These are the basic necessities of human life-food, water, warmth, shelter and sleep. Maslow says that until these needs are satisfied to the required level, man does not aim for the satisfaction of the next higher level of needs. In organisation context, these needs include basic needs like pay, allowance, incentives and benefits.
2) Security or Safety Needs:
These refer to the need to be free of physical danger or the feeling of loss of food, job or shelter. When physiological needs are satisfied, man starts thinking of the way by which he can continue to satisfy these safety needs. In organisation context, these needs include conformity, security plans or membership in unions.
3) Social or Affiliation Needs:
When the physiological and security needs are satisfied, these social needs begin occupying the mind of a man. This is exactly why he looks for the association of other human beings and strives hard to be accepted by the group. Social needs at work include human relations, formal and informal work groups.
4) Esteem Needs:
These needs are power, prestige, status and self-confidence. These needs make people aim high and make them achieve something great. These needs for employees include status symbol, awards and promotions.
5) Self-Actualisation Needs:
This is the highest need in the hierarchy. This refers to the desire to become what one is capable of becoming. This refers to the needs which help an individual to develop his potentialities. He tries to do whatever he can and has a sort of self-development. The self-fulfillment needs give satisfaction to the person concerned and are good for the society also.
Maslow has categorized the needs in order of priority. An individual spends money from one need to another. When one need is satisfied then the other becomes the motivator. All the needs are interdependent. It is not necessary that only one need is satisfied at one time. A person may move to other needs even if earlier needs are not fully satisfied. When the peak of a need passes then it causes to be a motivator.

MORALE:
DEFINITION OF MORALE:
According to Edwin B. Flippo has defined morale as, ‘a mental condition or attitude of individuals and groups, which determine their willingness to cooperate. Good morale is evidenced by employee enthusiasm, voluntary conformance with regulations and orders and willingness to cooperate with others in the accomplishment of an organisation’s objectives. Poor morale is evidenced by surliness, insubordination, a feeling of discouragement and dislike of the jos, company and associates.’
According to Michael J. Jucius, ‘Morale is a state of mind or of willingness to work which in turn affects individuals and organisational objectives.’
IMPORTANCE OF MORALE:
High level morale contributes to sound superior-subordinate relations. High morale leads to employee satisfaction. High level morale and employee satisfaction reduces grievances. High morale leads to employee commitment to industrial peace by avoiding the
occurrence of industrial disputes. Morale helps the employees to build teams easily to maximize their contribution. It also results in reduction in absenteeism and labour turnover.
FACTORS AFFECTING MORALE:
The level of satisfaction with job standards. Worker’s attitude towards the company and supervisor. The level of consideration the supervisor shows to his subordinates. The work load and the work pressure level. The treatment of individuals by the management. The level of worker’s pride in the company and its activities. The level of worker’s satisfaction with salary. Worker satisfaction with the progress and opportunities for further progression.
B N M I T School Of Management Studies Page 34
IMAGE LABELS PVT. LTD.
The worker’s attitude towards fellow workers. Worker’s perception of rewards system. The employee’s age and educational level.
SIGNS OF HIGH MORALE: A tendency for the group to hold together not merely as a result of external
pressures but rather through internal cohesiveness. A lack of tendency of its members to divide into sub-groups. An ability of the group to adapt itself to changing circumstances and to handle
internal conflicts. A feeling of belongingness and togetherness among the members of the group. A commonness of goals among the members of the group. A desire on the part of the members to retain the group and a regard for its positive
value. A passive attitude of the members with respect to the objectives of the group and
to its leaders.
WARNING SIGNS OF LOW MORALE: High rate of absenteeism. Tardiness. High labour turnover. Strikes and sabotage. Lack of pride in work. Wastage and spoilage.
FACTORS TO IMPROVE MORALE: Two way communication:
There should be proper communication between management and employees. All policies and programmes should be explained to the employees through down ward communication.
Proper incentive system:There should be proper system for monetary and non-monetary benefits for the employees. The employees showing better performance should be given incentives.
Human relations approach:
B N M I T School Of Management Studies Page 35
IMAGE LABELS PVT. LTD.
This approach suggests that employees should be treated as human beings. Their feelings and emotions should be given due weightage. The contribution of every employee to the organisation should be recognised.
Welfare schemes:There should be proper welfare schemes for the employees and their families like housing facilities, medical facilities, school facility for the children, recreation facility and social security. All these measures will develop positive attitudes in employees.
Participation in management:Workers should be made a part of management by opting them in decision making bodies. It will encourage industrial democracy in the organisation.
Improve worker’s training:The workers should be given proper training so that their performance on jobs is better. This will give satisfaction and pleasure for working on their jobs.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
The employees feel that non-monetary benefits like issuing of certificates or
presenting of awards during the company’s annual meetings will be more
motivating than monetary benefits like providing incentives. Their morale and
level of job satisfaction will boost up. This will also increase their level of
satisfaction towards the motivation techniques.
The employee’s contribution towards the organisation must be recognized and
appreciated. Employees who have completed 5 years of service in the company
must be honoured and their contribution must be recognized in a well organised
meeting.
Few of the respondents have complained of heavy work load. The work load must
be evenly distributed to all the employees of the department as completion of the
work will be faster through this. This will also enhance team spirit in the

departments, especially the production department.
The motivation system should be in such a way that it not only increases

CONCLUSION:
The practices at Image Labels are satisfactory, but a little improvement will
help them in achieving higher success in the business.
Money is not the only factor that can motivate individuals to perform better.
The company has to adopt non-monetary ways of motivating the employees.
Appreciation of the work done by the employees by the top level management will
boost the morale of the employees. The employees will be enthusiastic to achieve
more than their targets if such recognition is given to them.
The survey was conducted to find out the level of motivation of the employees
and morale. From my study I can conclude that the employees are motivated
enough to achieve their targets. They are extremely happy with their colleagues
and they enjoy the organisation environment.
