A Study on Employees Job Satisfaction at Enjayes Spices & Chemical Oils Ltd
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The industrial development in any country depends among other things on a satisfied
labour force. It has often been said that a happy employees 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 life at their working place. Moreover, Job satisfaction
has its impact on the general life of the employees also, because a satisfied employee is
a contended and a happy human being. A highly satisfied worker has better physical
and mental wellbeing. Human resource is of paramount importance for the success of
any organization. It’s a source of strength. It is concerned with the human being.
Human resource is the total knowledge, abilities, skills, talents and aptitudes of an
organizations work force. The resourceful of various categories of people and other
people available to the organization can be treated as human resource. In the present
complex environment, no business or organization can exist and grow without
appropriate human resource .Human resource is a term used to describe the individuals
who comprise the workforce of an organization, although it is also applied in labour
economics to, for example, business sectors or even whole nations. Human resource is
also the name of the function within an organization charged with the overall
responsibility for implementing strategies and policies relating to the management of
individuals (i.e. the human resources).This function title are often abbreviated to the
initials ‘HR’.
Human resources are a relatively modern management term, coined in the 1960s. The
origins of the function arose in organizations that introduced ‘welfare management’
practices and also in those that adopted the principles of ‘scientific management’. From
these terms emerged a largely administrative management activity, coordinating a range
of worker related processes and becoming known, in time as the ‘personnel function’.
Human resources progressively became the more usual name for this function, in the
first instance in the United States as well as multinational corporations, reflecting the
adoption of a more quantitative as well as strategic approach to workforce management,
demanded by corporate management and the greater competitiveness for limited and
highly skilled workers.

Human Resource Management (HRM) is the strategic and coherent approach to the
management of an organization’s most valued assets-the people working there who
individually and collectively contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the
business. The terms “human resource management” and “human resources” (HR) have
largely replaced the term “personnel management” as a description of the processes
involved in managing people in organizations. In simple words, HRM means
employing people, developing their capacities, utilizing, maintaining and
compensating their services in tune with the job and organizational requirement.
The Human Resources Management (HRM) function includes a variety of activities,
and key among them is deciding what staffing needs you have and whether to use
independent contractors or hire employees to fill these needs, recruiting and training
the best employees, ensuring that the human resource function is performed efficiently.
This research was conducted to study the employees job satisfaction and how it affect
on the work of employees. The research was conducted in, Enjayes Spices & Chemical
Oils Ltd, Vallicode Kottayam, Pathanamthitta.

1.4 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY
Research methodology means a scientific method of conducting research. It gives an
outlay of the study. Research methodology is way to systematically solve the research
problem .it may be understood as a science of studying how research is done
scientifically. It is the study of various steps that are generally adopted by a research in
studying his research problem along with the logic behind them. Thus, when we talk of
the research methods but also consider the logic behind them.
1.4.1 RESEARCH DESIGN
A Research design is purely and simply the framework for the study that guides the
collection and analysis of data. It is a blue print that is followed in completing a study.
There are 3 types of research design :-
1. Descriptive research design
2. Exploratory research design
3. Casual research design
In this project, Descriptive research design is adopted
The descriptive design study describes the characteristics of a particular problem or an
individual or a group. Descriptive study includes specific predictions concerned with
study, facts and characteristics concerning an individual, a group or situations. Most of
the social research is based on descriptive research studies, the questions related to
‘what’, ‘why’, ‘where’, and ‘who’ need to be answered.
1.4.2 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND SAMPLE SIZE
Sampling is the process of using a small number of items or parts of a larger population
to make conclusions about the whole population. If information is collected only from a
representative part of universe, we say that the data are collected by sampling. The
study of sample reveals the characteristics of universe. Different types of sampling are
Random Sampling and Non-random sampling.
V.N.S College of Arts and Science ; Konni Page 5
A Study on Employees Job Satisfaction at Enjayes Spices & Chemical Oils Ltd
Random Sampling: This type of sampling is based on chance selected
procedures. The basis of Random Sampling is that the procedure of randomization
should not be thought of as unplanned or scientific. The different types of Random
Sampling are Simple Random Sampling, Stratified Sampling, Systematic sampling and
Cluster sampling.
Non Random Sampling: This is a type of sampling in which units of the sample
are selected on the basis of personal judgment or convenience. In non random sampling
the probability of any member of the population sampling is quite arbitrary as
researchers rely heavily on personal judgment. The different types of non random
sampling are Judgment sampling, Convenience Sampling, Quota sampling and
snowball sampling.
Sample Size: The whole number of sample unit on which survey is conducted is known
as sample size in this survey, sample size is 100 employees
1.4.3 SOURCES OF DATA
The methodology used for the project work is the collection of the primary data and
secondary data.
Primary data
Data regarding the study of satisfaction among employees are procured directly from
the employees through a structural question redistributed to them. An informal
discussion was also done with the HR Manager to get information on satisfaction.
Secondary data
The secondary data for conduction the study were collected from various books,
records, journals, newspaper and the internet. Data regarding the study of satisfaction
among employee were collected from the office of Enjayes Spices And Chemical Oils
Ltd and various records and manuals of the company.
1.4.4 DATA ANALYSIS TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES
V.N.S College of Arts and Science ; Konni Page 6
A Study on Employees Job Satisfaction at Enjayes Spices & Chemical Oils Ltd
The various tools used for collecting the data are as follows:
Questionnaire
Questionnaires refer to forms filled in by respondents alone. Questionnaires were handed
to the respondents in field and ask them to fill it. This method can be adopted for the
entire population or sampled sectors.
Observation
Observation is either an activity of a living being, such as a human, consisting of
receiving knowledge of the outside world through the senses, or the recording of data
using scientific instruments. The term may also refer to any data collected during this
activity. An observation can also be the way you look at things or when you look at
something.
Interviews
In interviews information is obtained through inquiry and recorded by enumerators.
Structured interviews are performed by using survey forms. The interviewer in one-to-
one conversation collects detailed personal information from individuals using oral
questions.
1.4.5 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
“Statistical Analysis” is a process of inspecting, cleaning, transforming, and
modeling data with the goal of highlighting useful information, suggesting conclusions,
and supporting decision.
The tool for analyzing the data is used for the study is:
1) Percentage method
2) Chi-square analysis
V.N.S College of Arts and Science ; Konni Page 7
A Study on Employees Job Satisfaction at Enjayes Spices & Chemical Oils Ltd
1. Percentage method
The percentage is used for making comparison between two or more series of data. It is
used to classify the opinion of the respondent for different factors. It is calculated as
Percentage:Number of observations
Totalnumber of observationsX 100
2. Chi-square analysis
Chi-square analysis in statistics is to test the goodness of fit to verify the distribution of
observed data with assumed theoretical distribution. Therefore it is a measure to study
the divergence of actual and expected frequencies.
The formula for computing chi-square is as follows.
The calculated value of chi-square is compared with the table of chi square for the given
degrees of freedom at the specified level of significance. If the calculated value is
greater than the tabulated value then the difference between the observed frequency and
the expected frequency are significant. The degrees of freedom is (n-2) where ‘n’ is
number of observed frequencies and in case of contingency table the degrees of
freedom is (C-1)(R-1) where C is number of columns and R is number of rows.

1.5 DURATION OF THE STUDY
The project was a detailed study on the topic “Study On Employees Job Satisfaction”
was successfully completed within the time period of Two Weeks with the guidance and
support from the project guide.
1.6 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The findings are only based on the information given by the respondents.
The study has been based on data collected from various departments. Hence
there is a chance for miss assumption.
Some of the employees refused to answer the questionnaire as they feared that
the management might take action on them.
The survey was done during the working hours.
Illiteracy of the respondents, during the data collection using questionnaire.
Due to the shift arrangement it was difficult to collect data from most of the
employees.
It is very difficult to get to know about details of employees job satisfaction
from organization within the limited time and span of 14 days.

2.1 REVIEW OF LITERATURE
The purpose of literature review is to identify the problem statement, understand the
secondary data that has been gathered in the field of study and make new findings on
the problem statement.
Hoppock defined job satisfaction as any combination of psychological, physiological
and environmental circumstances that cause a person truthfully to say I am satisfied
with my job (Hoppock, 1935).According to this approach although job satisfaction is
under the influence of many external factors, it remains something internal that has to
do with the way how the employee feels. That is job satisfaction presents a set of factors
that cause a feeling of satisfaction.
Vroom in his definition on job satisfaction focuses on the role of the employee in the
workplace. Thus he defines job satisfaction as affective orientations on the part of
individuals toward work roles which they are presently occupying (Vroom, 1964).One
of the most often cited definitions on job satisfaction is the one given by Spector
according to whom job satisfaction has to do with the way how people feel about their
job and its various aspects. It has to do with the extent to which people like or dislike
their job. That’s why job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction can appear in any given
work situation.
Job satisfaction represents a combination of positive or negative feelings that workers
have towards their work. Meanwhile, when a worker employed in a business
organization, brings with it the needs, desires and experiences which determinates
expectations that he has dismissed. Job satisfaction represents the extent to which
expectations are and match the real awards. Job satisfaction is closely linked to that
individual's behavior in the work place (Davis et al., 1985).
Job satisfaction is a worker’s sense of achievement and success on the job. It is
generally perceived to be directly linked to productivity as well as to personal well-
being. Job satisfaction implies doing a job one enjoys, doing it well and being rewarded
for one’s efforts. Job satisfaction further implies enthusiasm and happiness with one’s
work. Job satisfaction is the key ingredient that leads to recognition, income,
promotion, and the achievement of other goals that lead to a feeling of fulfillment
(Kaliski, 2007). Job satisfaction can be defined also as the extent to which a worker is
V.N.S College of Arts and Science ; Konni Page 10
A Study on Employees Job Satisfaction at Enjayes Spices & Chemical Oils Ltd
content with the rewards he or she gets out of his or her job, particularly in terms of
intrinsic motivation (Statt, 2004).
The term job satisfactions refer to the attitude and feelings people have about their
work. Positive and favorable attitudes towards the job indicate job satisfaction.
Negative and unfavorable attitudes towards the job indicate job dissatisfaction
(Armstrong, 2006). Job satisfaction is the collection of feeling and beliefs that people
have about their current job. People’s levels of degrees of job satisfaction can range
from extreme satisfaction to extreme dissatisfaction. In addition to having attitudes
about their jobs as a whole. People also can have attitudes about various aspects of their
jobs such as the kind of work they do, their coworkers, supervisors or subordinates and
their pay (George et al., 2008).
Job satisfaction is a complex and multifaceted concept which can mean different things
to different people. Job satisfaction is usually linked with motivation, but the nature of
this relationship is not clear. Satisfaction is not the same as motivation. Job satisfaction
is more of an attitude, an internal state. It could, for example, be associated with a
personal feeling of achievement, either quantitative or qualitative (Mullins, 2005). We
consider that job satisfaction represents a feeling that appears as a result of the
perception that the job enables the material and psychological needs (Aziri, 2008).
The importance of job satisfaction specially emerges to surface if had in mind the many
negative consequences of job dissatisfaction such a lack of loyalty, increased
absenteeism, increase number of accidents etc. Spector (1997) lists three important
features of job satisfaction. First, organizations should be guided by human values.
Such organizations will be oriented towards treating workers fairly and with respect. In
such cases the assessment of job satisfaction may serve as a good indicator of employee
effectiveness. High levels of job satisfaction may be sign of a good emotional and
mental state of employees. Second, the behavior of workers depending on their level of
job satisfaction will affect the functioning and activities of the organization's business.
From this it can be concluded that job satisfaction will result in positive behavior and
vice versa, dissatisfaction from the work will result in negative behavior of employees.
Third, job satisfaction may serve as indicators of organizational activities. Through job
satisfaction evaluation different levels of satisfaction in different organizational units
V.N.S College of Arts and Science ; Konni Page 11
A Study on Employees Job Satisfaction at Enjayes Spices & Chemical Oils Ltd
can be defined, but in turn can serve as a good indication regarding in which
organizational unit changes that would boost performance should be made.
Christen, Iyer and Soberman (2006) provide a model of job satisfaction presented in
Figure 1 in which the following elements are included:
Job related factors
Role perception
Job performance
Firm performance.
Locke and Latham (1990) provide a somewhat different model of job satisfaction.
They proceed from the assumption that the objectives set at the highest level and high
expectations for success in work provides achievement and success in performing tasks.
Success is analyzed as a factor that creates job satisfaction.
FACTORS OF JOB SATISFACTION
Job satisfaction is under the influence of a series of factors such as: The nature of work,
Salary, Advancement opportunities, Management, Work groups and Work conditions.
When talking about factors of job satisfaction the fact that they can also cause job
dissatisfaction must be kept in mind. Therefore the issue weather job satisfaction and
job dissatisfaction are two opposite and excludable phenomena? There is no consensus
regarding this issue among authors.
Herzberg’s Two Factor Theory is probably the most often cited point of view. In fact
the main idea is that employees in their work environment are under the influence of
factors that cause job satisfaction and factors that cause job dissatisfaction. Therefore al
factors that have derived from a large empirical research and decided in factors that
cause job satisfaction (motivators) and factors that cause job dissatisfaction (hygiene
factors)
CONCEPTS OF JOB SATISFACTION
V.N.S College of Arts and Science ; Konni Page 12
A Study on Employees Job Satisfaction at Enjayes Spices & Chemical Oils Ltd
Lu, While, and Barriball (2005) mentioned the traditional model of job satisfaction
focuses on all the feelings about job of an individual. However, what makes a job
satisfying or dissatisfying does not depend only on the nature of the job, but also on the
expectations that individuals have of what their job should provide.
Maslow (1954 cited in Huber, 2006) arranged human needs along a five level
hierarchy from physiological needs, safety and security, belonging, esteem to self-
actualization. In Maslow’s pyramid, needs at the lower levels must be fulfilled before
those rise to a higher level. According to Maslow’s theory, some researchers have
approached on job satisfaction from the perspective of need fulfillment (Regis & Porto,
2006; Worf, 1970). Job satisfaction as a match between what individuals perceive they
need and what rewards they perceive they receive from their jobs (Huber, 2006).
However, overtime, Maslow’s theory has diminished in value. In the current trend, the
approach of job satisfaction focuses on cognitive process rather than on basic needs in
the studies (Huber, 2006; Spector, 1997).
Another approach as proposed by Herzberg (Herzberg et al., 1959; cited in Huber,
2006) is based on the Maslow’s theory. Herzberg and colleagues built Herzberg’s
motivation hygiene theory of job satisfaction. Theory proposed that there are two
different categories of needs, which are intrinsic (motivators) and extrinsic (hygiene)
factors. Theory postulates that job satisfaction and/or is dissatisfaction is the function of
two need systems. Intrinsic factors are related to the job itself. Intrinsic factors seem to
influence positively on job satisfaction. The motivators include advancement, growth
and development, responsibility for work, challenging, recognition, and advancement.
In other words, extrinsic factors are closely related to the environment and condition of
the work. The hygiene relate to job dissatisfaction including supervision, company
policy and administration, working condition and interpersonal relation.
Lephalala, Ehlers, & Oosthuizen, 2008; Shimizu et al., 2005). This theory has
dominated in the study of job satisfaction, and become a basic for development of job
satisfaction assessment (Lu et al., 2005).Some previous theories have proposed many
factors contributed to job satisfaction such as the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and the
set of Herzberg’s motivation-hygiene theory. This study is going to measure job
V.N.S College of Arts and Science ; Konni Page 13
A Study on Employees Job Satisfaction at Enjayes Spices & Chemical Oils Ltd
satisfaction in two categories, including motivator and hygiene factors, which are
related to Herzberg’s theory.
MEASURING JOB SATISFACTION
Usually job satisfaction is measured by using general scientific research methods such
as the questionnaire. Some of the most commonly used techniques for measuring job
satisfaction include:
Minnesota satisfaction questionnaire and
Job description index
The Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire is a paper-pencil type of a questionnaire and
can be implemented both individually and in group, but it does not take sex differences
into consideration. This questionnaire has one short form and two long forms that date
from 1967 and 1977. In fact 20 work features in five levels are measured with this
questionnaire. Responding to this questionnaire usually takes between 15-20 minutes.
The 1967 version of the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire uses the following
response categories:
Not satisfied
Somewhat satisfied
Satisfied
Very satisfied
Extremely satisfied.
The 1977 version of the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire uses the following
response categories:
Very satisfied
Satisfied
Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied
Dissatisfied and
Very dissatisfied.
If compared it’s obvious that in a way the 1977 version of this questionnaire is more
balanced compared to the 1967 version.
V.N.S College of Arts and Science ; Konni Page 14

This questionnaire the following aspects of job:
Co-workers
Achievement
Activity
Advancement
Authority
Company Policies
Compensation
Moral Values
Creativity
Independence
Security
Social Service
Social Status
Recognition
Responsibility
Supervision-Human Relations
Supervision-Technical
Variety
The Job Description Index is one of the most widely used techniques for measuring job
satisfaction. It is a simple and easily applicable method. The measurement of strength
and weakness within each factor are assign as in which field improvement and changes
are necessary.
This questionnaire allows acquisition of information on all major aspects of work and
takes sex differences into consideration. This questionnaire was first introduced in 1969
and it measures five major job satisfaction aspects with a total of over 70 potential job
descriptions.
The factors considered by the job description index are:
The nature of work
V.N.S College of Arts and Science ; Konni Page 15
A Study on Employees Job Satisfaction at Enjayes Spices & Chemical Oils Ltd
Compensation and benefits
Attitudes toward supervisors
Relations with co-workers and
Opportunities for promotion.
MEASUREMENTS OF JOB SATISFACTION
Measuring job satisfaction is difficult, for it is abstract personal cognition that only
exists in the mind of individual. However, most researchers select a more objective and
in-depth survey instrument (Spector, 1997). Spector suggested using an existing job
satisfaction scale for the following advantages:
It has been reported to exhibit acceptable levels of reliability
It has been used a sufficient number of times to provide norm
It has been used in research to provide good evidence for construct validity
Using known scales saves the considerable cost and time necessary to a develop
scale. The Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) was developed in 1985s (Spector, 1985).
This scale assesses employee attitudes about the job and aspects of job from 9
separate facets of the job satisfaction:
Pay and pay raises
Promotional opportunities
Fringe benefits
Contingent reward
Supervision
Coworker
Nature of work
Communication within the organization
Operating procedures.
The scale was summated rating scale format which is the most popular for job
satisfaction scales. It consisted of 36 items and ranged on a 6-point Likert scale.
EFFECTS OF JOB SATISFACTION
V.N.S College of Arts and Science ; Konni Page 16
A Study on Employees Job Satisfaction at Enjayes Spices & Chemical Oils Ltd
Job satisfaction causes a series of influences on various aspects of organizational life.
Some of them such as the influence of job satisfaction on employee productivity,
loyalty and absenteeism are analyzed as part of this text.
The preponderance of research evidence indicates that there is no strong linkage
between satisfaction and productivity. For example a comprehensive meta-analysis of
the research literature finds only a.17 best estimate correlation between job satisfaction
and productivity. Satisfied workers will not necessarily be the highest producers. There
are many possible moderating variables, the most important of which seems to be
rewards. If people receive rewards they feel are equitable, they will be satisfies and this
is likely to result in greater performance effort. Also, recent research evidence indicates
that satisfaction may not necessarily lead to individual performance improvement but
does lead to departmental and organizational level Improvements. Finally there are still
considerable debate weather satisfaction leads to performance or performance leads to
satisfaction (Luthans, 1998).
Employee loyalty is one of the most significant factors that human resource managers in
particular must have in mind. Employee loyalty is usually measured with the Loyalty
Questionnaire and can cause serious negative consequences when not in a high level.
Usually three types of employee loyalty are considered: affective loyalty, normative
loyalty and continuity loyalty. Affective loyalty has do with the cases when an
employee feels an emotional connection to the company, normative loyalty is a sort of
loyalty that appears in cases when the employee feels like he owes something to the
company and continuity loyalty comes as a result of the fact that the employee does not
have an opportunity to find a job somewhere else.
Research conducted by Vanderberg and Lance (1992) during which they surveyed
100 professionals in the information services for five months showed a strong relations
between job satisfaction and employee loyalty. Their research proved that the higher the
degree of job satisfaction the higher is the level of employee loyalty.
Employee absenteeism causes serious additional costs for companies, therefore
managers are in permanent issue of ways how to decrease and reduce it to its minimum.
Probably, the best way to reduce employee absenteeism would be through a increase in
the level of employee satisfaction. Even though the effects are modest the fact that job
V.N.S College of Arts and Science ; Konni Page 17
A Study on Employees Job Satisfaction at Enjayes Spices & Chemical Oils Ltd
satisfaction contributes to decreasing the level of employee absenteeism remains. So
satisfaction is worth paying attention to, especially since it is potentially under your
control – unlike some of the other causes of absenteeism (e.g. illness, accidents). But as
we said circumstances can alter this equation. As a manager you could be implicitly
encouraging absenteeism by enforcing company policies. If people are paid for sick
days, and if they must be “used or lost” this is pretty Strong encouragement for
employees to be absent. In other words, you’ve helped create a culture of absenteeism
that can overcome the “satisfaction” effect. (Sweney and McFarlin, 2005)
When satisfaction is high, absenteeism tends to be low; when satisfaction is low,
absenteeism tends to be high. However as with the other relationships with satisfaction,
there are moderating variables such as the degree to which people feel their jobs are
important. Additionally, it is important to remember that while high job satisfaction will
not necessarily result in low absenteeism, low job satisfaction is likely to bring about
high absenteeism.
Hagedorn (2000) departs from Herzberg and colleagues’ (1993) work by bundling
motivators and hygiene’s into a single category (albeit with separate sub-categories) and
separating the influence of workplace relationships and culture into its own category
‘environment’. Hagedorn’s model is adapted slightly in this study by including
‘institutional resources’ as a sub-category within the motivators and hygiene’s.
Institutional resources include satisfaction with twelve types of institutional physical,
financial and human resources. The rationale is that institutional resources can also be
considered mediators for job satisfaction because a lack of resources hinders
performance, similar to policies and other hygiene factors.
The deprivation/domination paradigm postulates that the higher the deprivation of a
need, the higher its need strength. An early review concluded that the
deprivation/domination paradigm was only partially supported for self-actualization,
and not supported for safety, belongingness and esteem needs (Wahba & Bridwell,
1976). On the basis of this review, many researchers have assumed that the proposition
is not supported (Wicker, Brown, Wiehe, Hagen & Reed, 1993). This assumption
may be inaccurate however, as many of the studies included in the review have
methodological limitations. These limitations concern: a) the operationalisation of need
strength; and b) establishing causality.
V.N.S College of Arts and Science ; Konni Page 18
A Study on Employees Job Satisfaction at Enjayes Spices & Chemical Oils Ltd
In Alderfer’s (1969) study, subjects were asked to rate how much more of the
following factors they would like to have in their jobs; pay, fringe benefits, love, status,
and growth. Similarly, in Graham and Balloun’s (1973) study, subjects were asked
how much improvement they wanted in their physiological, security, social and self-
actualization needs. These measures of need strength were then correlated with
corresponding measures of satisfaction.
Hall and Nougaim (1968) conducted a longitudinal study on managers, interviewing
them annually for five years. The participants rated the importance of and satisfaction
with a number of needs including safety, affiliation, achievement and esteem, and self-
actualization. Inconsistent with Maslow’s (1954) theory, the correlations between the
satisfaction of needs and the importance of needs were positive.
Wicker et al’s (1993) findings are inconsistent with Maslow’s (1970) theory, they
suggest that the correlations may have been inflated by halo-effects or carryover rating
bias. They postulate that the ratings may be affected by a general motivation factor, and
by earlier ratings. To control for such effects, deviation scores were computed and
correlated. Deviation scores are calculated by subtracting the grand mean over all
scales for a need from the mean of that need on each particular scale. This removed a
need-means factor from the data, “reducing any biasing effect on correlations resulting
from mean differences among needs” (Wicker et al., 1993)
3.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE
INDUSTRY
V.N.S College of Arts and Science ; Konni Page 19
A Study on Employees Job Satisfaction at Enjayes Spices & Chemical Oils Ltd
Industry is concerned with the extraction of raw materials from the nature and various
other process of transforming these raw materials in to consumable goods. It deals with
the function of converting or transforming these materials extracted from nature and to
make them fit for human use or consumption. In brief, industry deals with the
production of goods of value.
SMALL SCALE INDUSTRY
ESCOL is operating as a small scale industry. It is significant segment of Indian
economy. The basic objectives underlying the development of small and medium scale
industries are the increase in the supply of manufactured goods, the promotion of capital
formation, the development of indigenous entrepreneurial skills and the creation of
employment opportunities. In addition they includes such socio economic goals or the
decentralization and dispersal of manufacturing activities from the metropolitan and
non-metropolitan and rural areas, reduction of regional economic imbalances within a
country and the entrepreneurial and a managerial activities and skills as well as of
technology throughout the country.
Small scale industries have an important role to play in the development of our country.
Every economy needs the existence, development and growth of small scale enterprises.
They play very important role and the main objectives of small scale industry are;
To generate large scale employment opportunities with relatively low capital
investments.
To find solution for the unemployment of our country.
To promote balanced regional development of the nation.
ADVANTAGES OF SMALL SCALE INDUSTRY
They are capital light.
They are labour intensive.
They are skill light.
They are quick yielding.
According to recent estimates, about 90% of the industrial units in USA and France
come under the small scale industries sector. The small scale industries in India give
employment to 107 lakh persons. The small scale industry is more flexible.

SPICE INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
India has traditionally been known for its spice and culinary herb production. It is one of
the largest spice producing and consuming country. Its strategic location, climatic
conditions, advanced production processes and availability of cheap labour makes it
advantageous for the producers to ensure large scale production of quality spices and
herbs.
India's Share in the Global Spice Market
The Indian spice industry is booming with a substantial increase in exports over the past
few years. India accounts for nearly 45% and 30% in terms of volume and value in the
world spice trade.
The booming global spice market also poses good opportunities for the Indian spice
industry to provide quality spices at competitive prices. India faces stiff competition
from China, Malaysia and Pakistan in terms of pricing of the products. Manufacturers
should therefore ensure consistency in supply, product quality, pricing and marketing
strategy to increase the share in exports.
V.N.S College of Arts and Science ; Konni Page 23
A Study on Employees Job Satisfaction at Enjayes Spices & Chemical Oils Ltd
Producers are incorporating latest methods and technologies to ensure higher quality of
spices and herbs. India is one of the prime exporters of pepper, chillies, turmeric, seed
spices and spice derivatives to the rest of the world. USA, EU, Japan and Srilanka
import these Indian spices in large volumes.
India's share in Global Spice Derivative Market
Spice derivatives can be categorized into spice oil, oleoresins and essential oils. The
demand for spice derivatives is also increasing due to the hygiene, standardization and
consistency factor. India contributes nearly 70% to the world spice derivative market. It
exports largely to the US, EU etc. Indian southern states including Kerala, Karnataka
and Tamil Nadu provide concentrated oils and oleoresins for use in perfumery,
pharmaceuticals, foods processing and industrial chemical industry.
Government Initiative
Indian Government is providing financial assistance to farmers, growers and spice
producers and has also taken certain steps to ensure the availability of better quality
spices, more hygienically processed spices in order to boost exports. Indian spice board
also provides financial and technical assistance to farmers.
India is known as 'the home of spices'. From the ancient times India has been a hub of
spice cultivation, processing and export. Spices are well-known as appetisers and are
considered essential in the culinary art all over the world.
Apart from adding colour, flavour and taste, consumption of spices provide infinite
health benefits. For instance, spices intensify salivary flow. They cleanse the oral cavity
from food adhesion and bacteria, they help to check infection and caries and protect the
mucous membrane. Spices act as stimulant to the digestive system and helps digestion in
many ways. Stroke frequency and blood pressure can be diminished or augmented by
means of spices. Some may even be a substitute for your costly beauty products and
even medicines.
Here are the top 10 kitchen spices that have healing effects:
1. Fenugreek (methi): It is mainly used as a green leafy vegetable and seeds are
used for seasoning and preparing masalas. It also has many medicinal uses.
V.N.S College of Arts and Science ; Konni Page 24
A Study on Employees Job Satisfaction at Enjayes Spices & Chemical Oils Ltd
2. Coriander (dhania) leaves/seeds: All parts of the coriander plant are edible, but
the fresh leaves and the dried seeds are commonly used in cooking. Seeds can be roasted
or heated on a dry pan briefly before grinding to enhance and alter the aroma.
3. Chillies (mirch): Your eyes may start watering just with the name of it, but you
would be surprised to know that these spicy ones have healing power too. They have
been used externally to relieve pain and internally to cure anything from yellow fever to
the common cold.
4. Turmeric (haldi): Although usually used in its dried, powdered form, turmeric is
also used fresh, much like ginger. Turmeric is sometimes also used as an agent to impart
a rich, custard-like yellow colour to the dishes.
5. Clove (laung): Cloves can be used in cooking either whole or in a ground form,
but as they are extremely strong, they are used sparingly. Cloves promote enzymatic
flow and boost digestive functioning..
6. Cinnamon (dalchini): An aromatic smelling bark, cinnamon is widely used in
most kitchens. It is principally employed in cookery as a seasoning and flavouring
material.
7. Black Pepper (kali mirch): Pepper is one of the oldest and most important of all
spices. It is usually dried (known as peppercorn when dried) and used as a spice and
seasoning. Black pepper is useful in relieving flatulence.
8. Cardamom (elaichi): Cardamom is the "queen of spices"; it is one of the most
valued spices in the world. Cardamom has a strong, unique taste, with an intensely
aromatic fragrance. Cardamom is used chiefly in medicines to relieve flatulence and for
strengthening digestion activities.
9. Cumin (jeera)/Carom (ajwain): Cumin and Carom seeds are both used for
cooking and also possess many medicinal properties. They are a good source of iron and
keeps immune system healthy.
10. Asafoetida (hing): Asafoetida is used as a digestive aid, in food as a seasoning.
Its odour, when uncooked, is so strong that it must be stored in airtight containers
otherwise the aroma will contaminate other spices stored nearby.

The uses and benefits of spices
Spices are used and imported from India since ages. Many of these spices like
cardamom, clove, nutmeg, ginger etc., are inseparable ingredients of the Indian 'Masala
Chai'. This shows that spices form the basis of not only food in India but also for making
a good cup of tea. Though these spices provide innumerable benefits they should be
used sparingly. The excessive use of spices in food can cause harm to the health. Try to
make specific use of these spices. This will help you to make optimal use of the
resources provided by nature. Strike the right balance and add some spice to your life.
Organic spices
Organic spices are those spices that are grown using organic farming method. Indian
organic spices are grown without or with only limited use of pesticides and other
synthetic fertilizers, growth regulators. A number of countries provide technological and
financial assistance to farmers and producers for using organic method of producing
spices including chilies, ginger, turmeric, cumin, fennel, fenugreek, coriander, and dill
etc.
Indian Organic Spices Market
The Indian organic spices market is comparatively small at present (According to
estimates, it is a little more than 1% of the total spice demand). Indian organic spices
market is growing, which can be attributed to the desire to consume natural, wholesome
products that is further driving the consumption of spices overall.
International Trade in Organic Spices
The international circuit is witnessing a growth in the trade of organic spices and herbs.
More and more countries are encouraging the farmers and other growers to produce
spices using organic methods of farming. North America and Europe are one of the
major organic spice markets. The organic spices and herbs production has served the
fresh market and according to certain survey conducted, organic spices command a 10-
30% premium in the international market.

have medicinal, aromatic properties that also make them useful in a number of industries
including:
Perfumes
Cosmetics
Medicine
There are various spice extraction methods being employed these days for extracting
essential oils from different spices and herbs. The quality of oil and spice extraction
depends on the kind of method used for extracting oil. Below are few of the major spice
extraction methods being used these days:
Steam Distillation : One of the most popular method for extracting oil from
spices, the process involves heating the water to produce steam, which is a
carrier of volatile chemicals present in the spice.
Hydrodistillation : This is one of the oldest methods of extraction used. The
spice is fully immersed in hot water. The result is a soup, which carries aromatic
molecules of the plant.
Solvent Extraction : Many herbs and spices cannot be extracted from
distillation method, so solvent extraction is the safest method for extracting high
quality oil.
Carbon Dioxide Extraction : This method is also being popularly used for oil
extraction from different spice. Carbon Dioxide in liquid form is used as a inert
and safe liquid solvent for extracting aromatic molecules.
SPICE PRODUCTION AREAS
The spice production areas or centers’, its derivatives and culinary herbs are
concentrated in the moderate and semi-tropical regions of the world. These laces are
suited for a particular spice or herb due to their climatic conditions and other factors
including low wage rates, sound infrastructure etc.
Global spice production areas/centers
Total global production of spices has rapidly increased since the 1960s, from 1.7-million
metric tons in 1965 to 6.6-million metric tons in 2005 (see Table 7). It shows that
V.N.S College of Arts and Science ; Konni Page 27
A Study on Employees Job Satisfaction at Enjayes Spices & Chemical Oils Ltd
production techniques and therefore yields have increased and land cultivated has risen
to meet growing global consumption of spices.
India leads the world in spice production, with some 3.1-million metric tons in 2004, or
just under half of world production. China is the second largest producer, with 692,000
metric tons in 2004, or 10.5% of total world production, followed by Indonesia’s
448,000 metric tons or 6.8%. However, one must keep in mind that more tons do not
necessarily represent greater export earnings; many spices like saffron, which is more
valuable per ounce than gold, have high value-to-weight ratios. South Asia (India,
Pakistan and Nepal) is the leading region, producing 55% of world production. South
East Asia (Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand) follows with 13.2% and East Asia (China)
produces 10.5%. The EU and the middle East have been increasing their production of a
variety of spices through new production techniques, including greenhouses, drip
irrigation and farming technology improvements. Nonetheless, only some spices can be
grown profitably in these environments (even with the help of technology), while others
cannot be grown in developed countries at all.
Indian Spice Production Areas/Centre’s
The production of spices and herbs is widely distributed in a number of Indian states.
Southern states of Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamilnadu are one of the major areas
producing quite a few spices, states of Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh are also apt for
growing spices like Garlic, Mustard, Fennel, Turmeric etc.

production method is followed. Usually certain spices are extracted in double stage but
single process is also there. The process of extracting oil and oleoresins from raw spices
will generally be the same in all companies. But the proportion of solvents used for
extracting resin from raw spice will be different for different companies. The proportion
of solvents used by the companies is kept as a trade secret. Sometimes, rare solvents are
also used for boosting extractions.

properties of the spice or herb they are derived from. These aromatic and volatile oils are
extracted from the leaves, stems, and flowers of a plant. Essential cooking oil is are of
complex composition and contains aldehydes, alcohols, esters, phenol in varying
proportions. Since these specialty oils have a very strong aroma and are highly volatile,
they are used as a raw material in flavoring and perfumes.
These steam distilled spice derivatives are primarily extracted from spices and herbs, in
the raw form. Since these oils are highly concentrated, they need to be diluted before
usage.

3. OLEORESINS
After the extraction of oil, the remaining de-oiled powder or flake is dried and is charged
in extraction batteries for solvent extraction. The de-oiled powder will be treated with
solvents like hexane, acetate, ethyl acetate, menthol etc. The mixture is called
MISCELLA. The solvent absorbs resin out of the de-oiled powder. After a fixed time,
the solvents are withdrawn which contain resin. This process is known as Washing. It is
carried out for at least five times, This process is stopped on by when the concentration
falls below 5%.After this process, the solvent and resin is separated in a separator. When
this resin is mixed with oil, it becomes oleoresin. Spice Oleoresins are essentially the
concentrated liquid from obtained from spices. This spice derivative has the same
character and property of the spice it is obtained from. Oleoresins are popularly used for
food flavoring in the food processing industry.
