1 Introduction
Human resource is considered to be the most valuable asset in any organization. It is the sum-total of
inherent abilities, acquired knowledge and skills represented by the talents and aptitudes of the
employed persons who comprise executives, supervisors and the rank and file employees. It may be
noted here that human resource should be utilized to the maximum possible extent, in order to achieve
individual and organizational goals. It is thus the employee’s performance, which ultimately
decides, and attainment of goals. However, the employee performance is to a large extent, influenced
by motivation and job satisfaction.
Satisfaction does mean the simple feeling state
accompanying the attainment of any goal; the end state is
feeling accompanying the attainment by an impulse of its
objective. Research workers differently described the
factors contributing to job satisfaction and job
dissatisfaction.
The survey made regarding the job satisfaction at Meneta Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd.will
facilitate and enables the management to know the perceptions and inner feelings regarding the job they
are performing on day-to-day basis. The term job satisfaction reveals and focuses on the likes and
dislikes of the employees of Meneta Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd. In this particular study the
researchers tries to identify the causes for satisfaction and dissatisfaction among the employees. So
this is the most effective and selective instrument for diagnosing and peeping into the employee’s
problems.
Job satisfaction does mean absence of
motivation at work.

 Definition
Job satisfaction refers to a person’s feeling of satisfaction on the job, which acts as a motivation
to work. It is not the self-satisfaction, happiness or self-contentment but the satisfaction on the job.
Job satisfaction is defined as the, “pleasurable
emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job
as achieving of facilitating the achievement of one’s job
values.
 Meaning
The term job satisfaction refers to an employee’s general attitude towards his job.
 Job satisfaction is the favorableness or un-favorableness with which employees view
their work.
 In order to understand job satisfaction, perhaps the first step should be to demarcate the
boundaries among such terms as attitudes motivation and morale.
 A job is an importantpart of life. Jobsatisfaction influencesone’s general life satisfaction.
 The result is that satisfaction arises from a complex set of circumstances in the same way the
motivation does.
Hoppock describes job satisfaction as “any
combination of psychological, physiological
and environmental circumstances that cause
and person truthfully to say I am satisfied
with my job.

 Determinants of job satisfaction at Meneta Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd.
Organization variables
o Occupational Level
Higher level of jobs carries greater prestige and self-control. The relationship between occupational level
and job satisfaction stems from social reference group theory in our society values some jobs more than
others. Hence people in values like them more than those who are in no valued jobs. The relationship
may also stem from the need fulfillment theory.
o Job content
Greater the variation in job content and less the repetitiveness with which the tasks must be performed,
the greater the satisfaction of the individuals involved. Since job content in terms of variety and nature of
task known for it as the function of occupational level. The theoretical arguments given above apply here
also.
o Considerate Leadership
People to be treated withconsideration. Hence considerate leadership results in higher job satisfaction
than in considerate leadership.
o Pay and Promotional opportunities
All other things being equal these two variables are positively related to job satisfaction.
o Interaction among Employees
Here the question is, when interaction in the work group is a source of job satisfaction and when it is not.
According to Abraham A. Kumar, there are two types of variables, which determine the job
satisfaction of an individual. These are:
1. Organization Variables
2. Personal Variables

S B I T 5
o Interaction is more satisfying when
a) It results in the cognition that other persons attitudes are similar to ones own since, this permits are
ready calculability of the others behavior and constitutes a validation of one’s self.
b) It results in being accepted by other and
c) It facilitates and achievement of goals.
Personal Variables
For some people, it appears that most jobs will be dissatisfying
irrespective of the organizational conditions, where for other most
jobs will be satisfying personal variable for this difference anf the
personal variables are as follows:
 Age
 Educational Level
 Role perception
 Sex
 Factors affecting Job Satisfaction at Meneta Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd.
o Working Conditions
Because employees spend so much time in their work environment each week, it's important for
company to try to optimize working conditions. Such things as providing spacious work areas rather than
cramped ones, adequate lighting and comfortable work stations contribute to favorable work conditions.
Providing productivity tools such as upgraded information technology to help employees accomplish
tasks more efficiently contributes to job satisfaction as well.

S B I T 6
o Opportunity for Advancement
Employees are more satisfied with their current job if they see a path available to move up the ranks in
the company and be given more responsibility and along with it higher compensation. Meneta
Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd. encourages employees to acquire more advanced skills that will lead
to the chance of promotion. During an employee's annual performance review, a supervisor should map
out a path showing employees what they needs to accomplish and what new skills they needs to develop
in order to be on a track to advancement within the organization.
o Workload and Stress Level
Dealing with a workload that is far too heavy and deadlines that are impossible to reach can cause job
satisfaction to erode for even the most dedicated employee. Falling short of deadlines results in conflict
between employees and supervisors and raises the stress level of the workplace. Many times, this
environment is caused by ineffective management and poor planning. Meneta Automotive Components
Pvt. Ltd. operates in a crisis mode because supervisors don't allow enough time for employees to
perform their assigned tasks effectively or because staff levels are inadequate.
o Respect from Co-Workers
Employees seek to be treated with respect by those they work with. A hostile work environment -- with
rude or unpleasant coworkers -- is one that usually has lower job satisfaction. In an August 2011 survey
published by FoxBusiness.com, 50 percent of those responding said they had personally experienced a
great amount of workplace incivility at Meneta Automotive Components Pvt.Ltd. Fifty percent also
believe morale is poor where they work. Managers need to step in and mediate conflicts before they
escalate into more serious problems requiring disciplinary action. Employees may need to be reminded
what behaviors are considered inappropriate when interacting with coworkers within the organization.
o Relationship with Supervisors
Effective managers know their employees need recognition and praise for their efforts and
accomplishments. Employees also need to know their supervisor's door is always open for them to
discuss any concerns they have that are affecting their ability to do their jobs effectively and impeding
their satisfaction at the office.

S B I T 7
o Financial Rewards
Job satisfaction is impacted by an employee's views about the fairness of the company wage scale as well
as the current compensation they may be receiving. Company need to have a mechanism in place to
evaluate employee performance and provide salary increases to top performers. Opportunities to earn
special incentives, such as bonuses, extra paid time off or vacations, also bring excitement and higher job
satisfaction to the workplace.

1.1 Significance of the Study
Employee satisfaction is of utmost importance for employees to remain happy at Meneta Automotive
Components Pvt. Ltd. and also deliver their level best. Satisfied employees are the ones who are
extremely loyal towards their organization and stick to it even in the worst scenario. They do not work
out of any compulsion but because they dream of taking their organization to a new level. Employees
need to be passionate towards their work and passion comes only when employees are satisfied with their
job. Employee satisfaction leads to a positive ambience at the workplace. People seldom crib or complain
and concentrate more on their work.
The first benefit of employee satisfaction is that individuals hardly think of leaving their current
jobs. Employee satisfaction in a way is essential for employee retention. Meneta Automotive
Components Pvt. Ltd. need to retain deserving and talented employees for long term growth and
guaranteed success. If people just leave the organization after being trained, organization would be in a
big mess. Organization can hire new individuals but no one can deny the importance of experienced
professionals. It is essential for organization to have experienced people around who can guide freshers
or individuals who have just joined.
Employee attrition is one of the major problems faced by organization. An individual who is treated well
at the workplace, has ample opportunities to grow, is appreciated by his superiors, gets his salary on time
ever thinks of changing his job. Retaining talented employees definitely gives organization an edge over
competitors as they contribute more effectively than new joiners. Moreover, no new individual likes to
join an organization which has a high employee attrition rate. Employees who are not satisfied with
their jobs often badmouth organization and also warn friends and acquaintances to join the same.

S B I T 9
Employee satisfaction is essential to ensure higher revenues for the organization. No amount of
trainings or motivation would help, unless and until individuals develop a feeling of attachment and
loyalty towards organization. Employees waste half of their time fighting with their counter parts or
sorting out issues with them. Employees who are satisfied with their jobs seldom have the time to indulge
in nasty office politics. They tend to ignore things and do not even have the time to crib or fight with
others. Satisfied employees are the happy employees who willingly help their fellow workers and
cooperate with the organization even during emergency situations. Such employees do not think of
leaving their jobs during crisis but work hard together as a single unit to overcome challenges and come
out of the situation as soon as possible. For them, organization comes first, everything else later. They do
not come to office just for MONEY but because they really feel for the organization and believe in its
goals and objectives. Satisfied employees also spread positive word of mouth and always stand by each
other. Instead of wasting their time in gossiping and loitering around they believe in doing productive
work eventually benefitting the organization. They take pride in representing their respective
organizations and work hard to ensure higher revenues for the organization.
Satisfied employees tend to adjust more and handle pressure with ease as compared to frustrated
ones. Employees who are not satisfied with their jobs would find a problem in every small thing and be
too rigid. They find it extremely difficult to compromise or cope up with the changing times. On the
other hand, employees who are happy with their jobs willing participate in training programs and are
eager to learn new technologies, software’s which would eventually help employees at Meneta
Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd.in their professional career. Satisfied employees accept challenges
with a big smile and deliver even in the worst of circumstances.

mpowerment+helps+in+creating+a+healthy+working+Environment.&toJSON=undefined
Employee empowerment is creating a working environment where an employee is allowed to make
his own decisions in specific work-related situations. The decisions can be big or small, and the size
and effect of the decision is up to the employer. The logic behind employee empowerment is to
increase the employee's responsibility, to build employee morale and to improve the quality of the
employee's work life. Ideally, when an employee feels vested in an organization, he will be more
productive, loyal and more confident.
Empowerment has become an important issue within Contemporary organizations .There is real
supports and encouragement to give the freedom to get a job done and the authority to achieve
organizational goals. Recently, the usefulness of empowerment has started to become recognized in
the different environment of Project Management.

3. Are companies with happy workers more productive companies?
Source: http://www.studymode.com/essays/Job-Satisfaction-Mba-Thesis-Chapter-2-
1927654.html
One major issue regarding many of the reviewed studies relates to the causal nature of the
relationship between aggregated employee satisfaction and organizational (or unit-level)
performance. The implicit belief both in academe and practice is that the relationship runs from
employee satisfaction sentiments to organizational effectiveness and efficiency outcomes.
Moreover, this implicit assumption is apparent in the research studies reviewed here. That is, the
attitude data were typically collected at one time period and performance outcomes were
concurrently collected or at multiple time periods following the collection of the employee
attitude data.
The study suggests that collecting data in this fashion may lead researchers to draw erroneous
conclusions because their data prevent them from discovering significantly stronger
relationships for performance causing satisfaction. It could be argued, for example, that
employees who are in higher performing organizations are more likely to be satisfied than those
in lower performing organizations simply because their organizations are doing well. Indeed,
this causal pattern was found in the study.
Specifically, their data supported causal relationships between financial and market performance
outcomes and employees’ overall job satisfaction and satisfaction for security.

4. Relationship between job satisfaction and productivity
Source:http://www.slideshare.net/BabasabPatil/a-project-report-on-job-satisfaction
A satisfied worker is more likely tube creative, flexible, innovative, and loyal. For the
organization, job satisfaction of its workers means a workforce 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 loss of job, will not give 100 percent of their effort for very long. Though fear is powerful
motivator, it is also a temporary one, and also as soon as the threat is lifted performance will
decline. Job satisfaction benefits the organization includes reduction in complaints and
grievances, absenteeism, turnover, and termination; as well as improved punctuality and worker
morale. Job satisfaction is also linked with a healthier work force and has been found to be a
good indicator of longevity. 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”

5. Workers role in job satisfaction
Source: http://www.slideshare.net/BabasabPatil/a-project-report-on-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.
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. Employer’s value and rewards 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 relive boredom and often gets one
noticed. Demonstrate creativity and initiative. Qualities like these are valued by most
organizations and often results 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 help to give meaning to one’s existence, thus playing a
vital role in job satisfaction. Learn to de-stress. Plan to avoid burn out by developing healthy
stress management techniques.

1.3 Conceptualization
The project is about the job satisfactionatMeneta Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd. and the project is
considered under the concept of human resource management. This project obtains all those factors
which are related to the job satisfaction i.e. the introduction of job satisfaction, hypothesis related to the
job satisfaction, some research like exploratory, descriptive, correlation, experimental is there in this
project and then a survey through questionnaire and after this organization of the study is discussed and
regarding job satisfaction data is analyzed and at last conclusion is there.
This training project of human resource will facilitate and enables the management to know the
perceptions and inner feelings regarding the job they are performing on day-to-day basis.
The term job satisfaction reveals and focuses on the likes and dislikes of the employees of Meneta
Automotive Components Pvt.Ltd. In this particular study the research tries to identify the causes for
satisfaction and dissatisfaction among the employees.
This is the most effective and selective instrument for diagnosing and peeping into the employee’s
problems. And with the deep study all the basic points are discussed regarding company like transport
facilities and also those facilities which are provided within the organization like canteen facility,
working environment, and all those factors which affects the job satisfaction in the company. At last the
data analysis is done on the basis of questionnaire so that it can be prove, employees are satisfied with
their jobs.
Job satisfaction depends upon many other job attitudes like job involvement, organizational commitment
and employee engagement.
Job involvement is degree to which a person or employee identifies with a job, actively participates in it,
and considers performance importance to self worth. Job satisfaction and job involvement there is
positive correlation. Out of six dimensions of job satisfaction that is achievement, affiliation, expert
influence, control, extension and dependency, two has found significant correlation.

S B I T 16
The employee in which Organizational commitment level is high job satisfaction level is also high.
The term job satisfaction may be viewed as a total concept, as a social concept and as a relative concept.
The total concept is a desirable state of existence involving the physical, mental, moral and emotional
well-being. The relative concept of satisfaction implies that satisfaction is relative in time and place. It is
dynamic and flexible concept and hence its meaning and content differ from time to time, region to
region, industry to industry, level of education, social custom, and degree of industrialization and general
standard of the socio-economic development of the people.
Employee welfare is an important facet of industrial relations, the extra dimension, giving satisfaction to
the worker in a way, which even a good wage cannot. With the growth of industrialization and
mechanization, it has acquired added importance. The workers, both in industry and agriculture cannot
cope with the pace of modern life with minimum sustenance amenities. He needs an added stimulus to
keep body and soul together. Employees have also realized the importance of their role in providing these
extra amenities, and yet, they are not always able to fulfill workers demand, however reasonable they
might be.

S B I T 19
1.6 Hypotheses
A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a proposed explanation
for a phenomenon. For a hypothesis to be a scientific
hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can test it.
Scientists generally base scientific hypotheses on previous
observations that cannot satisfactorily be explained with the
available scientific theories. Even though the words
"hypothesis" and "theory" are often used synonymously, a
scientific hypothesis is not the same as a scientific theory. A
working hypothesis is a provisionally accepted hypothesis
proposed for further research.
It is known fact to all that keeping a employee happy is management’s responsibility as to get the work
done perfectly. But, to feel happy is employee’s perception.
So satisfied employees are essential element for improving efficiency and effectiveness.
 Job satisfaction is great motivator, which keeps the employees always in high morale.
 Job satisfaction among employees result in increasing the perception of the organization.
 Job satisfaction reduces the resistance among employees for the new implementations.
 Null Hypothesis
Employees working at Meneta Automotive ComponentsPvt. Ltd are not satisfied.
 Alternative Hypothesis
Employees working at Meneta Automotive ComponentsPvt. Ltd are satisfied.
There are two kinds of hypotheses,
one is null hypotheses and another
one is alternative hypotheses which
the researcher has to prove is
alternative hypothesis and which is
already proved in the universe is null
hypothesis.
In this study the Alternative Hypothesis is adopted so that is can be proved that Employees
working at Meneta Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd are satisfied.

2 Research Methodology
“ALL PROGRESS IS BORN OF INQUIRY”
Methodology is the systematic, theoretical analysis of the
methods applied to a field of study. It comprises the
theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles
associated with a branch of knowledge. Typically, it
encompasses concepts such as paradigm, theoretical model,
phases and quantitative or qualitative techniques.
A methodology does not set out to provide solutions - it is,
therefore, not the same thing as a method. Instead, it offers
the theoretical underpinning for understanding which
method, set of methods or so called “best practices” can be
applied to specific case, for example, to calculate a specific
result.
Research is the systematic process of collecting and
analyzing information to increase our understanding of the
phenomenon under study.
Research is academic activity and the term is used in a
technical sense, According to Clifford, research comprises
defining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested
solution, collecting, organizing and evaluating data making
deductions and reaching conclusion, and at least carefully
testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the
formulating hypothesis.
A research design is pattern or an outline of a research project is working. It is a statement of only the
essential elements of a study, which provide the basic guidelines for the detail of the project. It comprises
a series of prior decisions that taken together provide a master plan for executing a research project.
A research design serves as a bridge between what has been established i.e. the research objective and
what done, in conduct of the study to realize those objectives. If there were no research design, the
research would have only foggy notion about what is to be done. There are numerous specific designs,
which can classify into three broad categories.
Research design is the conceptual structure within which the research would conduct.
It has been defined also as follows:
"The analysis of the principles of
methods, rules, and postulates
employed by a discipline"
"The systematic study of methods that
are, can be, or have been applied
within a discipline"
"The study or description of methods"
The process used to collect
information and data for the purpose
of making business decisions. The
methodology may include publication
research, interviews, surveys and
other research techniques, and could
include both present and historical
information.

S B I T 21
In fact, it is the general blueprint for the collection, measurement, and analysis of data.
As far as the project is concerned, our study focuses on the following design:
Exploratory Research Design:
The objective of our exploratory research is to find new ideas of relationships between several facts.
The exploratory research includes the expert’s opinion with the help of the company personnel and an
interview with customers.
Descriptive Research Design:
Descriptive design is a sound basis for making predictions pertaining to the specific marketing practices,
which is a part of the conclusive research. Its main aim is to collect data with a definite purpose, which
makes the facts practical and valuable.
.
The descriptive research data would collected by secondary data sources like books, websites.

2.1 Universe & Survey Population
The research is totally based on the population i.e. employees working in a Meneta Automotive
Components Pvt. Ltd. Automotive components Pvt. Ltd. The research contains some questionnaire, on
that basis we analyze about the working condition in India that on which level employees gets job
satisfaction.
Universe size: Employees working in Meneta Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd.
Universe Size: 65

S B I T 23
2.2 Sample
A sample is a smaller representation of a large whole. A
sample is composed of some fraction or part of the total
number of elements or units in a defined population.
Sampling, therefore is a method of selecting some fraction of
a population.
In this study, the Probability Sampling type is used for the
research because in probability sampling each unit of the
universe has a known chance of being selected. In probability
sampling design, the population must be clearly defined and
list of target population must be available. The errors of
estimation or the significance of results obtained can be
measured.
 Sample unit
The sampling units are Employees at Meneta Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd., which have
approached to collect data.
 Sampling method
Sampling method used in this research is simple random sampling. Under this sampling design, every
item of universe has a known chance of being selected. It is say to a lottery method.
 Sample size
The size of the sample was restricted to 20.
Sampling is the selection of certain
percentage of a group of items
according to a predetermined plan.
Every item of the universe has an
equal chance of being included in the
sample. It is a lottery method in which
individual units are picked up from
the whole group by some mechanical
process.

2.3 Collection of Data
Data collection is an important aspect of any type of research study. Inaccurate data collection can impact
the results of a study and ultimately lead to invalid results. Data can be defined as the quantitative or
qualitative values of a variable. Data can be numbers, images, words, figures, facts or ideas. Data in itself
cannot be understood and to get information from the data one must interpret it into meaningful
information. There are various methods of interpreting data. Data sources are broadly classified into
primary and secondary data.
 Primary data
Primary data is the data observed or collected directly from first-hand experience. Primary data has not

4 About the concept of the project
The meaning of ‘Job’ as a post or appointment is of primary importance. Every job is an instance of the
employment relationship, embodying a contract (substantive or implied) to exchange an ability to work
(labor, provide service, exercise ingenuity, direct efforts of others, etc) for rewards (both material and
symbolic). True, performing work tasks provides a stream of experiences, technical and social, those can
energies psychosocial responses; any resulting data summarizing these reactions are indispensable.
However, such data must not be weighted higher than those concerning experience of the overt (or
ostensible) contractual terms - above all, those concerning pay and job security. (Rose,)
Job satisfaction is simply how people feel about their jobs and different aspects of their jobs. It is the
extent to which people like (satisfaction) or dislike (dissatisfaction) their jobs. (Spector)
Job satisfaction can be defined as a positive feeling about one’s job resulting from an evaluation of its
characteristics. A person with a high level of job satisfaction holds positive feeling about the job, while a
person who is dissatisfied holds negative feeling about the job.
How to apply empowerment at Meneta Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd. to increase job
satisfaction and productivity among employee
In order to empower employees, four different factors are Important. That different factor work
as an element to empower employee, which will give the employees space to act more
independently in accomplishing their jobs those are: information, knowledge, power and
rewards.
• Information
In Meneta Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd where the employees are fully empowered, no
information about the company is held secret for employee. That's why employees must receive
information about the performance of the company.
• Knowledge
Before and after empowering employees the company needs to give training for increasing
knowledge and skills of employee. Which build up their problem solving decision-making
capability? As by having power of knowledge and skills, an employee can be able to contribute
to the goals of the company.

S B I T 34
•Power
To make substantial decisions, employees must have the power by giving upsome of the
traditionally held by management, which means managers also must take on new roles,
knowledge and responsibilities.
• Rewarding
The employees need to get bonus on the basis their performances and company's performance.

appreciation,engagement with growth, recognition and trust

 Benefits of Job Satisfaction
There are some great business benefits if Meneta Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd. increases
employee job satisfaction
If Meneta Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd. manage to increase employee job satisfaction it is
not only going to benefit them, but it will also benefit the business as a whole. Many studies
have shown how management strategies that increase employee job satisfaction lead to a more
productive workforce and a more success business overall. Huge modern enterprises like
Google are a fine example of how looking after staff will lead to fantastic gains; in fact if
Meneta Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd. investigate Meneta Automotive Components Pvt.
Ltd. will discover that almost all the most successful companies around the world take their
ability to increase employee job satisfaction seriously.
If company want to avoid all the hassle that comes with replacing staff, and the poor image this
creates for customers, then company will need to do, to increase employee job satisfaction.
There are quite a few ways of doing this, and it may be a case of experimenting with different
approaches until company finds what works with company. It should be something a bit more
significant then picking an ‘employee of the month’ though.
One cause of complaint among staff is often concerned with scheduling. Workers have home
lives as well as work lives, and this should always be factored into scheduling decisions. One
way of increasing employee job satisfaction is by introducing a self-scheduling scheme. This
will put the control of schedule in the hands of the staff themselves, and they will be able to
choose their time off as they see fit; it will be up to them to ensure that each shift is fully staffed
and that they work their contract hours. If the staff member is unable to get the time off they
want then they will understand why and this will increase employee job satisfaction because of
their feelings of control over the process.
Giving staff more responsibility and autonomy is a great way to increase employee job
satisfaction. If Meneta Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd trust their employees to do the tasks
assigned to them without constantly looking over their shoulder then this will make them feel
like they are trusted and they will likely reward this trust; a task goes from being something that
they are expected to do to being something that is “their” responsibility.

There are some points showing the benefits of job satisfaction at Meneta
Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd.
o Job Satisfaction and Absenteeism
It has been conclusively proved that there is an inverse relationship between job satisfaction and
absenteeism. When satisfaction is high, absenteeism is low and when satisfaction is low, absenteeism is
high. Less satisfied employees are more likely to be absent from work due to avoidable reasons. This is
known as voluntary absenteeism as against unavoidable absenteeism which is due to illness or other
emergency reasons. Management must be concerned with voluntary absenteeism, because it is related to
job satisfaction. Absenteeism can be modified by certain factors. Research has found that people who
believe that their work is important have lower absenteeism as compared to those who do not feel that
way. Moreover, it is important to remember that while high job satisfaction will not necessarily result in
low absenteeism (because of unavoidable absenteeism), but low job satisfaction will definitely bring
about high absenteeism.
o Job Satisfaction and Union Activities
It has been proved that satisfied employees are generally not interested in unions and they do not
perceive them as necessary. Job satisfaction has proved to be the major cause of unionization. The
employees join the unions because they feel that individually they are unable to influence changes which
would eliminate the causes of job dissatisfaction. The level of union activities is related to the level of job
dissatisfaction. Low level of dissatisfaction results in only grievances while higher levels of
dissatisfaction will result in employee strikes.
o Job Satisfaction and Safety
When people are dissatisfied with their jobs, company and supervisors, they are more prone to
experience accidents. An underlying reason for this is that dissatisfaction lakes one’s attention away from
the task at hand and leads directly to accidents. A satisfied worker will always be careful and attentive
towards his job, and the chances of accidents will be less.

S B I T 40
o Other effects of Job Satisfaction
In addition, there are a number of other effects brought about by high job satisfaction. Highly satisfied
employees tend to have better physical and mental health, learn the new job related tasks easily, and have
less job stress and unrest. Such employees will become more cooperative such as helping coworkers,
helping customers etc. Such behavior will improve unit performance and organizational effectiveness.
If MenetaAutomoive Components Pvt. Ltd wants to increase employee job satisfaction then
they need to have good communication in place. Staff should be allowed to be critical and to
feel they can raise concerns in a non-threatening environment. If employees are afraid to speak
then they are unlikely to put much effort into the job and they will probably want to leave as
soon as possible. If the employee has an idea it should be listened to respectfully; this way
company will increase employee job satisfaction and if it is a good idea it will benefit the
business.
One thing that company must avoid if they want to increase employee job satisfaction is
constant change or uncertainty in regards to what is expected of the employee. The staff
member should always know what they need to do to keep the business successful, and if they
don’t they can easily stop trying.
Job satisfaction results from the employee’s perception that the job content and context actually provide
what an employee values in the work situation. Organizationally speaking, high level of job satisfaction
reflects a highly favorable organizational climate resulting in attracting and retaining better workers.

7 Conclusion
Research 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 of the management. High
job satisfaction may lead to improved productivity, decreased turnover, and improved attendance,
reduced accidents, less job stress and less unionization. Job dissatisfaction produces low morale among
workers and low morale at work is highly undesirable. In examining the outcomes of job satisfaction
All the statutory and non-statutory measures are provided to employees as per the standard measures,
which improves employee’s satisfaction and increase productivity.
Any organization success and growth depends on employees. The company may have rich resources of
capital, material, infrastructure, machines and technology but if the quality of manpower is not good, the
organization cannot succeed. Employee welfare plays a vital role in every organization. And the quality
and productivity of manpower depends on the welfare measures provided by the organization.
By conducting this study I have acquired and in-depth knowledge regarding employee welfare and how it
contributes towards organizations success. I would like to conduct a further deep study in employee
welfare if I get an opportunity. This study is very helpful for my career in HR field.
Besides several other factors the economic development of a country depends upon the effective
functioning of employees. In order to achieve this the superiors and the state should take
necessary steps for the satisfaction of employees in their respective jobs.
