    INTRODUCTION

    Quality of work life

    Work is an integral part of our everyday life, as it is our livelihood or career or business.

    On an average we spend around twelve hours daily in the work place, that is one third of

    our entire life; it does influence the overall quality of our life. It should yield job

    satisfaction, give peace of mind .a fulfilment of having done a task .It is expected without

    any flaw and having spent the time fruitfully, constructively and purposefully. Even if it is

    a small step towards our lifetime goal, at the end of the day it gives satisfaction and

    eagerness to look forward to the nest day.

    The various factors that influence and decide the quantity of work life are:

    1. Attitude2. Environment3. Opportunities4. Nature of job5.

    People

    6. Stress level7. Career prospects8. Challenges9. Growth and Attitude10. Risk involved and reward

    Attitude

    The person who is entrusted with a particular job needs to have sufficient knowledge ,

    required and skill expertise ,enough expertise , enthusiasm ,energy level, willingness to

    learn new things , dynamism , sense of belongings in the organization , involvement in

    the job , inter personal relations ,adaptability to changes in the situation ,openness for

    innovative ideas, competitiveness , zeal ability to work under pressure , leadership

    qualities and team spirit.

    Environment

    The job may involve dealing with customer who have varied tolerance level, preferences ,

    behavioural pattern ,level of understanding ; or it may involve working with dangerous

    machine like drilling pipes ,cranes , lathe machine , welding and soldering machines , or

    even with animals where maximum safety precautions have to be observed which needs a

    lot of concentration ,alertness , presence of mind , quick with involuntary actions

    ,synchronization of eyes ,hands , and body ,sometimes high level of patience ,tactfulness

    ,empathy and compassion and control over emotion.

    Opportunities

    Some jobs offer opportunities for learning, research, discovery, self development,

    enhancement of skills, room of innovative, public recognition, exploration, celebrity status,

    and loads and loads of fame .Others are monotonous, repetitive, dull routine, no room for

    improvement and in every sense boring .Naturally the former ones are interesting and every

    much rewarding also.

    Nature of job

    For example a driller in the oil drilling unit, a driver, a fire-fighter, traffic policeman, train

    engine driver, construction labourers, welder miner, lathe mechanic have to do dangerous

    jobs and have to be more alert in order to avoid any loss of limbs, or loss of life which is

    irreparable whereas a pilot, doctor, judge, journalist have to be more prudent and tactful

    in handling the situation; a CEO, a professor, a teacher have more responsibility and

    accountability but safe working environment; a cashier or a security guard cannot afford to

    be careless in his jobs as it involves loss of money, property, and wealth; a politician or a

    public figure cannot afford to be careless ,for his reputation and goodwill is at stake .Some

    jobs needs soft skills, leadership qualities, intelligence, decision making abilities, the

    ability to train and extract work from others .the other jobs needs forethought ,vision, and

    yet other jobs need motor skills, perfection and extreme carefulness.

    People

    Almost everyone has to deal with three set of people in the workplace. Those are namely

    boss, co-workers in the same level and subordinates. Apart from this, some profession need

    interaction with people like patients, media person, public, customers, thieves, robbers,

    physically disabled, and mentally challenged, children, foreign delegates, gangsters,

    politicians, public figures and celebrities. These situation demand high level of prudence,

    cool temper, tactfulness, humour, kindness, diplomacy, and sensitiveness.

    Stress level

    All these above mentioned factors are interrelated and interdependent. Stress level need

    not be directly proportional to the compensation. Stress is of different types- mental

    stress/physical stress and psychological or emotional stress. A managing director of a

    company will have mental stress, a labourer will have physical stress, and a psychiatrist

    will have emotional stress. Mental stress and emotional stress cause more damage than

    physical stress

    Career prospects

    Every job should offer career development. That is an important factor which decides the

    quality of work life. Status improvement, more recognition from the management,

    appreciation is the motivating factors for anyone to take keen interest in his job. The work

    atmosphere should be conducive to achieve the organizational goal as well as individual

    development. It is a win-win situation for both the parties of an employee should be

    rewarded appropriately for his good work, extra effort, sincerity and at the same time

    lethargic and careless employee should be penalised suitably this will motivate the former

    to work with more zeal and deter the latter from being so, and strive for better performance

    .

    Challenges

    The job should offer some challenges at least to make it interesting. That enables an

    employee to upgrade his knowledge and skill and capabilities. Whereas the monotony of

    the job makes a person dull, non enthusiastic, dissatisfied, frustrating, coplacement,

    initiativeless and uninteresting. Challenge is the fire that keeps the innovation and thrill

    alive. A well accomplished challenging job yields greater satisfaction than a monetary

    perk; it boosts the self confidence also.

    Growth and Development

    If an organization does not give chance for growth and personal development it is very

    difficult to retain the talented personnel and also to find new talent with experience and

    skill.

    Risk involved and Reward

    Generally reward or compensation is directly proportional to the quantum of work, man-

    hours, nature and extent of responsibility, accountability, delegated powers, authority of

    position in the organizational chart, risk involved level of expected commitment, deadlines

    and targets, industry, country, demand and supply of skilled manpower and even political

    stability and economic policies of a nation. Although risk is involved in every job its nature

    and degree varies in them; all said and done, reward is a key criterion to lure a prospective

    worker to accept the offer.

    REVIEW OF LITERATURE

    Miller, 1978; Kirkman, 1981; Metz, 1982; Mirvis&Lawler, 1984; Cooper, 1988

    Defines the qualities of work life are broadly similar to the study on Singaporean Employees

    development suggest four dimension of quality of work life labelled as,

    i. Favourable work environmentii. Personal growth and autonomy

    iii. Nature of jobiv. Stimulating opportunities and co-workers.

    Good performance is recognized in addition to rewards being based upon performance while

    employees are respected and treated like mature people.

    The study on Singaporean employees development,

    Cheng S says in high QWL there should be a positive impact on personal life, an

    opportunity to be involved in decision as well as an acceptable level of physical comfort. The

    job seen to exit within high QWL work situation are those in which there is a minimal

    negative impact on ones personal life, and hopefully one which has a positive impact on

    ones personal life.

    We would expect that these dimension comprising QWL that were found in the present

    sample are consistent with the rapid economic growth and increasingly higher levels of

    educational standard in Singapore. Research studies (Taylor, 1977;

    Taylor, 1978; Donald, 1997) have generally established that QWL is positively associated

    with the job satisfaction and can be a significant motivator. One implication of this finding

    for management is the need to consider the type of intrinsic and extrinsic factor highlighted

    by the four aspects of QWL that comprises the motivational reward incentive system used in

    the organization. Designing the job and the work environment so as to include the

    characteristic of the QWL dimension discussed above will contribute to the workers sense of

    well being and provide a more positive start to other work motivation programmes within the

    organization.

    Kirkman (1989) suggests that in future work society; the drive for more humanitarian

    treatment both in and out of work will increase.

    Cheng Sin his paper QWL through employee participation in Singapore has discussed the

    following four different approaches to QWL employee share option scheme, joint

    management consultation, quality circle and industrial relation circle.

    This is an interesting situation given the high degree of emphasis on achieving high standard

    in performance and quality known in Singapore.

    QWL has also been viewed in a variety of ways including a) as a movement b)as a set of

    organizational intervention c) as a type of working life felt by employees QWL , self

    evaluation and life satisfaction among American African

    When for many people sex and relationship are troublesomesince they are often hazardous

    to our health. Work plays an even greater role in keeping us out of trouble. Regardless of

    how much we earn most of us have some kind of agenda or work plan. And with so many

    people opening a home and a cyber office, with mounting levels of technology related stress

    (which Bruria Ginton, owner turned content provider, calls frustression), many of us end up

    involved in more than a job, which we feel compelled to get done, spending the greatest

    portion of our lives in what we consider our work place. So quality of work life is not some

    notion of frivolous luxury. QWl is just as real and useful as virtual reality itself.

    SCOPE OF THE STUDY

    The project was undergone in THE FERTILIZERS AND CHEMICALSTRAVANCORE LIMITED [FACT] for a period of one month. Theoretical knowledge is

    insufficient to cope up with the modern functioning of the companies. So in order to gain

    practical knowledge, the project was done at FACT on the topic employees satisfaction

    towards quality of work life.

    Quality generally defined as conformance to requirement quality is as fitness for

    purpose. The concept of quality is not apply to all goods and services created by human

    beings, but also for workplace where the employees were employed.

    Quality in the workplace comes from understanding and then fully meeting, the needs of all

    your internal and external customers, now and into the future and doing so with continual

    improvement in efficiency and effectiveness.

    QWL refers to the favourableness or un- favourableness of total job environment of the

    people. The basic purpose is to develop jobs and working condition that are excellent for

    people as well as for the economic health of the organization. QWL provides more

    humanized work environment. It attempts to serve the higher order needs of workers as well

    as their more basic needs. It seeks to employ the higher skill of workers and to provide an

    environment that encourages improving their skills.

    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

    Research design

    A sound research design is inevitable for the work to be successful. Hence the research

    design was descriptive in nature. Research design is the frame work which provides

    guidelines for the rest of the research process. Descriptive research includes surveys, and

    FACT finding enquiries are f different kind.

    .

    Data Collection Method

    In this organization study of the methodology involved of two types of data they are:

    a. Primary dataPrimary data are those data, which are collected from primary sources. Normally these data

    are collected from direct observation. Primary data are those collected by the investigator

    himself for the first time and thus they are original in character. They are collected for a

    particular purpose. These data are collected for the first time for the purpose of a study and its

    primary in nature.

    b. Secondary dataSecondary data are statistics that already exists. They have been gathered not for immediate

    use. This may be described as those data that have been compiled by some agency other than

    the user. There are two types of secondary data- internal and external secondary data

    The internal secondary data is a part of the companys record, for which the research is

    already conducted. Internal data are those data that are found within the organization

    .external secondary data are collected by the researcher from outside the company.

    Questionnaire type

    The technique used by the researcher was non disguised structured technique or structured

    direct technique. This technique requires that the question shapes be asked by using the same

    words and in the same sequence for all respondents. This technique was used for theemployees. The questionnaire of employees contained the following type of question.

    Population

    SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

    Quality of work life covers various aspects under the general umbrella of supportive

    organizational behaviour. Thus the QWL should be broad in its scope. It must evaluate the

    attitude of the employees towards the personnel policies. The research will be helpful inunderstanding the current position of the respective company. And to provide some strategies

    to extent the employees satisfaction with little modification which is based on the internal

    facilities of the company.

    This research can be further used to evaluate the facilities provided by the management

    towards the employees. This study also helps in manipulating the basic exception of the

    employees.

    INDUSTRY PROFILE

    INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE INDUSTRY

    Fertilizer Industry

    Though much euphoric services sector growth in Indian economy has drawn the

    attention over the globe, still it is importance brings confusion when we come across the

    parameters like increasing inequality and a stalemate in poverty condition.

    Agriculture the backbone of Indian economy still holds its relative importance for more

    than a billion peoples. The government of India from time to time has taken considerable

    steps for the upliftment of agriculture sector. Here we have analysed the performance of

    fertilizer industry being one of the vital parts in agricultural production and government

    policy and initiatives for the same.

    Fertilizer in the agriculture process is an important area of concern. Fertilizers industry

    in India has succeeded in meeting the demand of all chemical fertilizer in the recent years.

    The fertilizer industry in India started its first manufacturing unit of single super phosphate

    (SSP) in Ranipet near Chennai

    Indias green revolution in late sixties gave a positive boost to sector. The sector

    experienced a faster growth rate and presently India is the third largest fertilizer producer

    in the world.

    Indian fertilizers industry

    India is primarily an agriculture based economy. The agriculture sector and its other

    associated spheres provide employment to a large section of the countrys population and

    contribute about 25%to the GDP. The Indian fertilizer industry is one of the allied

    sectors of the agriculture sphere. Indian has emerged as the third largest producer of

    nitrogenous fertilizers. The adoption of back to back five year plan has paved the way for

    self sufficiency in the production of food grains. In fact production has gone up to an

    extent that there is a scope for the export of food grains. This surplus has been facilitated

    by the use of chemical fertilizers.

  • 7/30/2019 Binoy Project Fair on 252

    15/82

    The large scale use of chemical fertilizers has been instrumental in bringing about the

    green revolution in India. The fertilizer industry in India began its journey way back in

    1906. During this period the first single super phosphate (SSP) factory was established in

    raniput Chennai. It had a capacity of producing 600MT annually. In the pre and post

    independence era a couple of large scale fertilizer units were established namely the

    fertilizer corporation of India in Sindri, Bihar and the fertilizer and chemicals Travancore

    of India Ltd in Cochin, Kerala.

    The Indian government has devised policies conducive to the manufacture and

    consumption of fertilizers. Numerous committees have been formed by the Indian

    government to formulate and determine fertilizer policies. The dramatic development of

    the fertilizer industry and the rise in its production capacity has largely been attributed to

    the favourable policies. This has resulted in the large scale investments in all the three

    sectors viz... Public, private and co-operative. At present there are 57 large scales fertilizers

    unit. These manufacture an extensive range of phosphatic, nitrogenous and complex

    fertilizers. Out of these 57, 29 units are engaged in manufacturing urea, while 13 of them

    produce calcium ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulphate. The remaining 20 fertilizer

    plant manufacture complex fertilizer and DAP.

    The department of fertilizer is responsible for the planning, promotion and development

    of the fertilizer industry. It also takes into account the import and distribution of fertilizers

    and also the financial aspects. There are four main division of the department. These

    include fertilizers import, movement and distribution, finance and accounts, fertilizers

    project and planning and administration and vigilance. It makes an assessment of the

    individual requirements of the states and union territories and then lays out an elaborate

    supply plan.

    Through the soil in India is rich in silt, it lacks chief plant nutrients like potassium,

    nitrogen and phosphate. The increase in the production of fertilizers and its consumption

    act as a major contributor to overall agricultural development.

    Size if Indian fertilizer industry

    The production of food grains in India rose by an excess of 156 million MT since 1951-

    52. The fertilizer industry has played a major role in this mass production of food grains.

    The fertilizer industry came into being in India in the year 1906. The first manufacturing

    unit of Single Super Phosphate (SSP) had a manufacturing capacity of 6000MT

  • 7/30/2019 Binoy Project Fair on 252

    16/82

    As per government of India records on 31.01.2007, the India fertilizer industry has

    made a production of 120.61LMTof nitrogen (N) and 56.59LMT of phosphate (P) nutrient.

    The installed capacity of urea in India is estimated to be 207.52 LMT. This was an

    increase by more than 200LMTsince 1951-52.per hectare consumption has scaled to

    104.5kg while the figure was less than 1kg in 1951-52.

    The Indian fertilizer industry started operating in a big scale since 1940s, when the

    fertilizer &chemicals Travancore of India Ltd.and the fertilizer corporation of India were

    set up in Kerala and Bihar respectively. The fertilizer industry in India grew to a

    considerable extent in 1070s and 1980s after the emergence of the green revolution in the

    late sixties.

    The private sector has also contributed to the Indian fertilizer industry. Some of the

    notable private companies to contribute to the production and Chambal fertilizers and

    Chemical limited and Tata chemicals limited. The private sector produced 44.73% of

    nitrogenous fertilizer and 62.08% of phosphate fertilizers in 2006-07.

    The Indian large size fertilizers units manufacture wide varieties of nitrogenous and

    phosphate/complex fertilizers. As in 2005-06 these large scale fertilizers units count 56. In

    addition to the nitrogenous and phosphatic /complex fertilizers the large scale unit

    produced in India by 9 units. Besides there are 72 small and medium scale fertilizers units.

    These units operate mainly to produce SSP.

    The growth of the fertilizers industry was at its peak in the 1970s and 1980s. The growth

    was a bit stagnant in the last decade of the 20th

    century. But with many radical steps been

    taken by the Government of India, the industry is expected to grow again.

    Global demand for Indian fertilizer

    Global demand for Indian fertilizer has been on steady rise and so has been its

    demand for fertilizer imports. India at present holds the fourth position as an exporter of

    fertilizers in the global market.

    But its own demand for fertilizers almost equals its exporting capacity. The rapid rate

    of population growth and the rising demand for food product has increased the demand of

    fertilizer in India.

    The primary factor behind the demand of fertilizer in India is the nature of the Indiansoil. Although the soil for agriculture is rich in silt, it is deficient in nutrients such as

  • 7/30/2019 Binoy Project Fair on 252

    17/82

    potassium, phosphate and nitrogen. To supplement these nutrients, India has to produce

    and also import fertilizers. Amongst the major fertilizers exported from India is urea.

    The private fertilizers company in India are now taking their business to foreign shores,

    setting up the plants in other countries. This is a positive gesture towards increasing the

    global demand for Indian fertilizers and also meeting the same. Soon after the reliance

    industries declaration of building two million ton capacity fertilizer unit, national

    fertilizers Limited has announced its negotiation and talks with international chemical

    group to start joint ventures in Brunei, Qatar and Egypt. The venture will see increased

    production of phosphoric acid and Muriate of potash (MOP). The future thus looks bright

    for the Indian fertilizers industry in the global market. The Government of Indian is

    lending all support to the fertilizer companies by subsidizing the raw material, relaxing the

    export policies and so on.

    The global fertilizers demand as a whole shows a sharp rise in the recent years. In 2005 -

    06 it is registered a 1.5% growth which is increased sharply to 5% in 2006-07. The demand

    for nitrogen fertilizers is the highest, surpassing the demand for potassium and phosphate

    fertilizers. If the demand is analyzed on the basis of region then North America shows the

    greatest demand for fertilizers with an annual demand growth of 9.9%, followed by West

    Asia (8.1%) and South Asia (5.5%)

    Private Companies in Indian Fertilizer market

    A number of private companies in the Indian fertilizer market are engaged in production

    of the agro- input. Most of the companies also engage in exporting fertilizers in the global

    market, earning foreign capital from the business. The country stands at the third position

    among the largest producers of the product in the world. India is also ranks among the

    highest consumer of fertilizers which is dependent for its optimization on the fertilizer

    industry.

    Phosphatic and nitrogenous fertilizers such as urea, single super phosphate and

    ammonium are produced by the companies in India. Complex fertilizers such as did-

    ammonium phosphate are also domestically produced. However, lack of indigenous

    reserves of potash does not support the production of potassic fertilizers in the country.

    The nitrogenous fertilizers production capacity is higher in the public sector units while the

  • 7/30/2019 Binoy Project Fair on 252

    18/82

    private companies in the Indian fertilizers market have a larger capacity for the production

    of phosphatic fertilizers.

    Challenges before Indian Fertilizers Industry

    The growth trajectory of the Indian fertilizers industry has camouflaged the impending

    challenges with which it is faced. Growth and development of agriculture in India derives a

    significant stimulus from the fertilizers industry. Agricultural milieu in India could be

    jeopardized by the uncertainties in the fertilizers industry. The government is faced with

    the piquant situation, which demands a balance between the needs of the farmers and the

    fertilizers manufacturers.

    The challenges before the Indian fertilizers industry relate to the incertitude fertilizers

    in the past few years. Good monsoonal showers have led to the growth in agriculture,

    inadvertently increasing the consumption rate of fertilizers. However the robust growth in

    consumption propensity has not been met with the required surge fertilizers production.

    This has widened the gap between the demand and supply of fertilizers, which has led to

    an increase in a dependence of the country on imports. This also reflects on the lack of

    realizing of the domestic capacity utilization of the reserves in the country.

  • 7/30/2019 Binoy Project Fair on 252

    21/82

    Another important factor that has led to the stunted growth of the fertilizers industry is

    the rise in prices of the feedstock. The fertilizer industry is dependent on gas for the

    production of urea and phosphoric acid for the production of phosphatic fertilizers and

    DAP. The country imports its units from other countries. The overseas suppliers of raw

    material realize the predicament of the Indian fertilizers industry and have started

    exploiting the shortage through clever pricing.

    In the recent years some of the private companies, dedicated to the production of

    fertilizers have affectively taken stakes in the overseas sources of raw materials. Although

    this has aided the industry, it has however been unable to reduce the governments burden

    of subsidizing the rates. The fertilizers industry is remained protected under the umbrella

    of the retention pricing scheme of the Indian government.

    The government has introduced policies to decontrol the prices but it has been delayed by

    the implementation of the parameters that have not augured in favour of the industry. As a

    result fertilizers subsidies continue to mount and are expected to cross Rs 50,000 crore in

    the year2008. The pricing of the fertilizers are also dependent on the freight charges that

    are Baltic dry index.

    The fertilizers industry is faced with other challenges inter alia infrastructural bottlenecks

    and the uncertainties in the government policies. The delay in decision making and

    obscurity in setting parameters are among some of the major drawbacks of the government

    policies directed towards the industry.

    To retrieve the health and growth of the fertilizers industry, the government of India is in

    need of long term realistic policies that would enable the industry to overcome the

    challenges and survive the present impasse.

    The Fertilizers and Chemicals Travancore Limited ----Cochin Division (FACT_CD) is

    the second manufacturing division of FACT. The factory is situated at Ambalamedu,

    Kochi. The division was formed as part of the planned efforts by the government to give

    the greatest scope to the use of indigenous technology in setting up large sized fertilizers

    plants. FEDO and P&D of FCI (now PDIL) were entrusted with the responsibility of

    installing these large plants with minimum foreign assistance. The site development

    included the formation of an artificial reservoir stretching over 200 acres of low lying

    paddy fields by constructing a suitable earthen dam to meet water requirement of plants

    and township. The reservoir is supplied with water from the periyar valley irrigation

    project through a canal.

    The FACT_CD has two phases. The phase 1of the division is having facilities toproduce 1, 98,000 tonnes of ammonia and 3, 33,000 tonnes of urea per annum. But due to

    the financial crisis these plants are not productive presently. Only the phase 11 plants are in

    productive now. The phase 11 consist of three plants namely sulphuric acid plant,

    phosphoric acid plant and NP plant having annual capacities of 3,30,000 MT, 115200 MT

    of p2O5and 4,85000 mt of complex fertilizers respectively.

    The factory side is connected by rail, road and waterways, which facilitates movement

    of raw material and products. FACT CD has a track record of earnestness in combating

    Energy Conservation Achievement

    The instrument air requirements of various plants in FACT-Cochin division

    phase11mwere being met from the individual instrument air (IA) system located in the

    respective plants. For ammonia, urea and bagging plant in phase 1the total requirement

    was met from a single large H. T Khosala compressor located in ammonia plant.

    Consequently to shut down the ammonia and urea plant in Phase 1in February 2003 H.

    T Khosala compressor was remaining idle. On studying the various IA systems, it was

    found feasible to meet the entire IA requirement of the various plants from the HT Khosala

    compressor located in the ammonia plant and all other individual compressor could be

    stopped. The project was implemented ata minimum cost of Rs 2 lakhs making use of

    redundant lines.
