The project work entitled “ A STUDY ON JOB SATISFACTION OF
EMPLOYEES ” Job Satisfaction is the favorableness or un-favorableness with which the
NTPC VINDHYACHAL employee views his work. It expresses the amount of
agreement between one’s expectation of the job and the rewards that the job provides.
Job Satisfaction is a part of life satisfaction. The nature of one’s environment of job is an
important part of life as Job Satisfaction influences one’s general life satisfaction.
Job Satisfaction, thus, is the result of various attitudes possessed by an employee. In a
narrow sense, these attitudes are related to the job under condition with such specific
factors such as wages. Supervisors of employment, conditions of work, social relation on
the job, prompt settlement of grievances and fair treatment by employer.
However, more comprehensive approach requires that many factors are to be included
before a complete understanding of job satisfaction can be obtained. Such factors as
employee’s age, health temperature, desire and level of aspiration should be considered.
Further his family relationship, Social status, recreational outlets, activity in the
organizations etc.
Contribute ultimately to job satisfaction.

PART 1Introduction of Job Satisfaction
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 6
INTRODUCTION
Job satisfaction is not the same as
motivation. It is more if an attitude, an internal state of the
person concerned. It could, for example, be associated with a
personal feeling of achievement.
Job satisfaction is an individual’s
emotional reaction to the job itself. It is his attitude towards his
job.

and perhaps accident rates”.

“Job satisfaction is a general attitude towards one’s job: the
difference between the amount of reward workers receive and
the amount they believe they should receive.”

Job satisfaction defines as “The amount of over all positive
affect (or feeling) that individuals have toward their jobs.”

“Job satisfaction is the amount of pleasure or contentment
associated with a job. If you like your job intensely, you will
experience high job satisfaction. If you dislike your job
intensely, you will experience job dissatisfaction.”

Job satisfaction is one part of life satisfaction. The
environment influences the job. Similarly, since a job is
important part of life, job satisfaction influences one’s general
life satisfaction. Manager may need to monitor not only the
job and immediate work environment but also their
employees attitudes towards other part of life.

RELATED ELEMENT OF LIFE SATISFACTION
Human life has become very complex and completed in now-
a-days. In modern society the needs and requirements of the
people are ever increasing and ever changing. When the
people are ever increasing and ever changing, when the
peoples needs are not fulfilled they become dissatisfied.
Dissatisfied people are likely to contribute very little for any
purpose. Job satisfaction of industrial workers us very
important for the industry to function successfully. Apart
from managerial and technical aspects, employers can be
considered as backbone of any industrial development. To
utilize their contribution they should be provided with good
working conditions to boost their job satisfaction. Any
business can achieve success and peace only when the
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 9
problem of satisfaction and dissatisfaction of workers are felt
understood and solved, problem of efficiency absenteeism
labour turnover require a social skill of understanding human
problems and dealing with them scientific investigation serves
the purpose to solve the human problems in the industry.
a) Pay.
b) The work itself.
c) Promotion
d) The work group.
e) Working condition.
f) Supervision.
PAY Wages do play a significant role in determining of
satisfaction. Pay is instrumental in fulfilling so many needs.
Money facilities the obtaining of food, shelter, and clothing
and provides the means to enjoy valued leisure interest
outside of work. More over, pay can serve as symbol of
achievement and a source of recognition. Employees often see
pay as a reflection of organization. Fringe benefits have not
been found to have strong influence on job satisfaction as
direct wages.
THE WORK ITSELF Along with pay, the content of the work itself plays a very
major role in determining how satisfied employees are with
their jobs. By and large, workers want jobs that are
challenging; they do want to be doing mindless jobs day after
day. The two most important aspect of the work itself that
influence job satisfaction are variety and control over work
methods and work place. In general, job with a moderate
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 10
amount of variety produce the most job satisfaction. Jobs with
too little variety cause workers to feel bored and fatigue. Jobs
with too much variety and stimulation cause workers to feel
psychologically stressed and ‘burnout’.
PROMOTION Promotional opportunities have a moderate impact on job
satisfaction. A promotion to a higher level in an organization
typically involves positive changes I supervision, job content
and pay. Jobs that are at the higher level of an organization
usually provide workers with more freedom, more
challenging work assignments and high salary.
SUPERVISION Two dimensions of supervisor style:
1. Employee centered or consideration supervisors who
establish a supportive personal relationship with subordinates
and take a personal interest in them.
2. The other dimension of supervisory style influence
participation in decision making, employee who participates
in decision that affect their job, display a much higher level of
satisfaction with supervisor an the overall work situation.
WORK GROUP Having friendly and co-operative co-workers is a modest
source of job satisfaction to individual employees. The
working groups also serve as a social support system of
employees. People often used their co-workers as sounding
board for their problem of as a source of comfort.
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 11
WORK CONDITION The employees desire good working condition because they
lead to greater physical comfort. The working conditions are
important to employees because they can influence life
outside of work. If people are require to work long hours and /
or overtime, they will have very little felt for their families,
friends and recreation outside work.
Determinants of job satisfaction: While analyzing the various determinants of job satisfaction,
we have to keep in mind that: all individuals do no derive the
same degree of satisfaction though they perform the same job
in the same job environment and at the same time. Therefore,
it appears that besides the nature of job and job environment,
there are individual variables which affect job satisfaction.
Thus, all those factors which provide a fit among individual
variables, nature of job, and situational variables determine
the degree of job satisfaction. Let us see what these factors
are.
Individual factors: Individuals have certain expectations from their jobs. If their
expectations are met from the jobs, they feel satisfied. These
expectations are based on an individual’s level of education,
age and other factors.
Level of education:
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 12
Level of education of an individual is a factor which
determines the degree of job satisfaction. For example,
several studies have found negative correlation between the
level of education, particularly higher level of education, and
job satisfaction. The possible reason for this phenomenon
may be that highly educated persons have very high
expectations from their jobs which remain unsatisfied. In their
case, Peter’s principle which suggests that every individual
tries to reach his level of incompetence, applies more quickly.
Age: Individuals experience different degree of job satisfaction at
different stages of their life. Job satisfaction is high at the
initial stage, gets gradually reduced, starts rising upto certain
stage, and finally dips to a low degree. The possible reasons
for this phenomenon are like this. When individuals join an
organization, they may have some unrealistic assumptions
about what they are going to drive from their work. These
assumptions make them more satisfied. However, when these
assumptions fall short of reality, job satisfaction goes down. It
starts rising again as the people start to assess the jobs in right
perspective and correct their assumptions. At the last,
particularly at the fag end of the career, job satisfaction goes
down because of fear of retirement and future outcome.
Other factors: Besides the above two factors, there are other individual
factors which affect job satisfaction. If an individual does not
have favourable social and family life, he may not feel happy
at the workplace. Similarly, other personal problems
associated with him may affect his level of job satisfaction.
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 13
Personal problems associated with him may affect his level of
job satisfaction.
Nature of job: Nature of job determines job satisfaction which is in the form
of occupation level and job content.
Occupation level : Higher level jobs provide more satisfaction as compared to
lower levels. This happens because high level jobs carry
prestige and status in the society which itself becomes source
of satisfaction for the job holders.
For example, professionals derive more satisfaction as
compared to salaried people: factory workers are least
satisfied.
Job content : Job content refers to the intrinsic value of the job which
depends on the requirement of skills for performing it, and the
degree of responsibility and growth it offers. A higher content
of these factors provides higher satisfaction. For example, a
routine and repetitive lesser satisfaction; the degree of
satisfaction progressively increases in job rotation, job
enlargement, and job enrichment.
Situational variables: Situational variables related to job satisfaction lie in
organizational context – formal and informal. Formal
organization emerges out of the interaction of individuals in
the organization. Some of the important factors which affect
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 14
job important factors which affect job satisfaction are given
below:
1. Working conditions:
Working conditions, particularly physical work environment,
like conditions of workplace and associated facilities for
performing the job determine job satisfaction. These work in
two ways. First, these provide means job performance.
Second, provision of these conditions affects the individual’s
perception about the organization. If these factors are
favourable, individuals experience higher level of job
satisfaction.
2. Supervision:
The type of supervision affects job satisfaction as in each type
of supervision; the degree of importance attached to
individuals varies. In employee-oriented supervision, there is
more concern for people which is perceived favourably by
them and provides them more satisfaction. In job oriented
supervision, there is more emphasis on the performance of the
job and people become secondary. This situation decreases
job satisfaction
.
3. Equitable rewards:
The type of linkage that is provided between job performance
and rewards determines the degree of job satisfaction. If the
reward is perceived to be based on the job performance and
equitable, it offers higher satisfaction. If the reward is
perceived to be based on considerations other than the job
performance, it affects job satisfaction adversely.
4. Opportunity:
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 15
It is true that individuals seek satisfaction in their jobs in the
context of job nature and work environment by they also
attach importance to opportunities for promotion that these
job offer. If the present job offers opportunity of promotion is
lacking, it reduces satisfaction.
1. Work group : Individuals work in group either created
formally of they develop on their own to seek
emotional satisfaction at the workplace. To the extent
such groups are cohesive; the degree of satisfaction is
high. If the group is not cohesive, job satisfaction is
low. In a cohesive group, people derive satisfaction
out of their interpersonal interaction and workplace
becomes satisfying leading to job satisfaction.
Effect of Job Satisfaction
Job satisfaction has a variety of effects. These effects may be
seen in the context of an individual’s physical and mental
health, productivity, absenteeism, and turnover.
Physical and Mental Health: The degree of job satisfaction affects an
individual’s physical and mental health. Since job satisfaction
is a type of mental feeling, its favourableness or
unfavourablesness affects the individual psychologically
which ultimately affects his physical health.
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 16
For example, Lawler has pointed out that drug abuse,
alcoholism and mental and physical health result from
psychologically harmful jobs. Further, since a job is an
important part of life, job satisfaction influences general life
satisfaction. The result is that there is spillover effect which
occurs in both directions between job and life satisfaction.
Productivity: There are two views about the relationship between job
satisfaction and productivity
1. A happy worker is a productive worker,
2. A happy worker is not necessarily a productive worker.
The first view establishes a direct cause-effect relationship
between job satisfaction and productivity; when job
satisfaction increases, productivity increases; when
satisfaction decreases, productivity decreases. The basic logic
behind this is that a happy worker will put more efforts for job
performance. However, this may not be true in all cases.
For example, a worker having low expectations from his jobs
may feel satisfied but he may not put his efforts more
vigorously because of his low expectations from the job.
Therefore, this view does not explain fully the complex
relationship between job satisfaction and productivity.
The another view: That is a satisfied worker is not necessarily
a productive worker explains the relationship between job
satisfaction and productivity. Various research studies also
support this view.
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 17
This relationship may be explained in terms of the operation
of two factors: effect of job performance on satisfaction and
organizational expectations from individuals for job
performance. 1. Job performance leads to job satisfaction and
not the other way round. The basic factor for this
phenomenon is the rewards (a source of satisfaction) attached
with performance. There are two types of rewardsintrinsic and
extrinsic. The intrinsic reward stems from the job itself which
may be in the form of growth potential, challenging job, etc.
The satisfaction on such a type of reward may help to increase
productivity. The extrinsic reward is subject to control by
management such as salary, bonus, etc. Any increase in these
factors does not hep to increase productivity though these
factors increase job satisfaction.
1. A happy worker does not necessarily contribute to
higher productivity because he has to operate under
certain technological constraints and, therefore, he
cannot go beyond certain output. Further, this
constraint affects the management’s expectations
from the individual in the form of lower output. Thus,
the work situation is pegged to minimally acceptable
level of performance. However, it does not mean that
the job satisfaction has no impact o productivity. A
satisfied worker may not necessarily lead to increased
productivity but a dissatisfied worker leads to lower
productivity.

Extrinsic reward
Perceived equity of rewards
THE RELATION BETWEEN PERFORMANCE AND SATISFACTION
Absenteeism: Absenteeism refers to the frequency of absence of
job holder from the workplace either unexcused absence due
to some avoidable reasons or long absence due to some
unavoidable reasons. It is the former type of absence which is
a matter of concern. This absence is due to lack of satisfaction
from the job which produces a ‘lack of will to work’ and
alienate a worker form work as for as possible. Thus, job
satisfaction is related to absenteeism.

Employee turnover: Turnover of employees is the rate at which employees leave
the organization within a given period of time. When an
individual feels dissatisfaction in the organization, he tries to
overcome this through the various ways of defense
mechanism. If he is not able to do so, he opts to leave the
organization. Thus, in general case, employee turnover is
related to job satisfaction. However, job satisfaction is not the
only cause of employee turnover, the other cause being better
opportunity elsewhere.
For example, in the present context, the rate of turnover of
computer software professionals is very high in India.
However, these professionals leave their organizations not
simply because they are not satisfied but because of the
opportunities offered from other sources particularly from
foreign companies located abroad.

DIMENSIONS OF JOB SATIFACTION
Job satisfaction is a complex concept and difficult to measure
objectively. The level of job satisfaction is affected by a wide
range of variables relating to individual, social, cultural,
organizational factors as stated below:-
DIMENSIONS
INDIVIDUAL SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONAL
ENVIRONMENTAL CULTURAL
FACTORS FACTOR
FACTOR FACTOR
Individual :- Personality, education, intelligence and
abilities, age, marital status, orientation to work.
Social factors :-Relationship with co-workers, group
working and norms, opportunities for interaction,
informal relations etc.
Organizational factors :- Nature and size, formal
structure, personnel policies and procedures, industrial
relation, nature of work, technology and work
organization, supervision and styles of leadership,
management systems, working conditions.
Environmental factors :-Economic, social,
technical and governmental influences.
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 21
Cultural factors :-Attitudes, beliefs and values.
These factors affect job satisfaction of certain individuals
in a given set of circumstances but not necessarily in others.
Some workers may be satisfied with certain aspects of their
work and dissatisfied with other aspects .Thus, overall degree
of job satisfaction may differ from person to person.
IMPORTANCE TO STUDY JOB
SATISFACTIONThe importance to the study of job satisfaction level is very
important for executives. Job satisfaction study importance
can be understood by the answer of the following question
1) Is there room for improvement?
2) Who is relatively more dissatisfied?
3) What contributes to the employee satisfaction?
4) What are the effects of negative employee attitudes?
Benefits of job satisfaction study Job
satisfaction surveys can produce positive, neutral or negative
results. If planned properly and administered, they will
usually produce a number of important benefits, such as-
1. It gives management an indication of general levels of
satisfaction in a company. Surveys also indicate
specific areas of satisfaction or dissatisfaction as
compared to employee services and particular group
of employee.
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 22
2. It leads to valuable communication brought by a job
satisfaction survey. Communication flow in all
direction as people plan the survey, take it and discuss
the result. Upward communication is especially
fruitful when employee are encouraged to comment
about what is on their minds instead of merely
answering questions about topics important to
management.
3. as a survey is safety value, an emotional release. A
chance to things gets off. The survey is an intangible
expression of management’s interest in employee
welfare, which gives employees a reason to feel better
towards management.
4. Job satisfaction surveys are a useful way to determine
certain training needs.
5. Job satisfaction surveys are useful for identifying
problem that may arise, comparing the response to
several alternatives and encouraging manager to
modify their original plans. Follow up surveys allows
management to evaluate the actual response to a
change and study its success or failure.
Importance to Worker and Organization
Frequently, work underlies self-esteem and identity while
unemployment lowers self-worth and produces anxiety. At the same
time, monotonous jobs can erode a worker's initiative and enthusiasm
and can lead to absenteeism and unnecessary turnover. Job
satisfaction and occupational success are major factors in personal
satisfaction, self-respect, self-esteem, and self-development. To the
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 23
worker, job satisfaction brings a pleasurable emotional state that
often leads to a positive work attitude. A satisfied worker is more
likely to be creative, flexible, innovative, and loyal.
For the organization, job satisfaction of its workers means a work
force that is motivated and committed to high quality performance.
Increased productivity the quantity and quality of output per hour
worked seems to be a byproduct of improved quality of working life.
It is important to note that the literature on the relationship between
job satisfaction and productivity is neither conclusive nor consistent..
Unhappy employees, who are motivated by fear of job loss, will not
give 100 percent of their effort for very long. Though fear is a
powerful motivator, it is also a temporary one, and as soon as the
threat is lifted performance will decline.
Tangible ways in which job satisfaction benefits the organization
include reduction in complaints and grievances, absenteeism,
turnover, and termination; as well as improved punctuality and
worker morale. Job satisfaction is also linked to a more healthy work
force and has been found to be a good indicator of longevity. And
although only little correlation has been found between job
satisfaction and productivity, Brown (1996) notes that some
employers have found that satisfying or delighting employees is a
prerequisite to satisfying or delighting customers, thus protecting the
"bottom line." No wonder Andrew Carnegie is quoted as saying:
"Take away my people, but leave my factories, and soon grass will
grow on the factory floors. Take away my factories, but leave my
people, and soon we will have a new and better factory"

Creating Job Satisfaction
So, how is job satisfaction created? What are the elements of a job
that create job satisfaction? Organizations can help to create job
satisfaction by putting systems in place that will ensure that workers
are challenged and then rewarded for being successful. Organizations
that aspire to creating a work environment that enhances job
satisfaction need to incorporate the following:
Flexible work arrangements, possibly including
telecommuting
Training and other professional growth opportunities
Interesting work that offers variety and challenge and
allows the worker opportunities to "put his or her signature" on the
finished product
Opportunities to use one's talents and to be creative
Opportunities to take responsibility and direct one's own
work
A stable, secure work environment that includes job
security/continuity
An environment in which workers are supported by an
accessible supervisor who provides timely feedback as well as
congenial team members
Flexible benefits, such as child-care and exercise facilities
Up-to-date technology
Competitive salary and opportunities for promotion
Probably the most important point to bear in mind when considering
job satisfaction is that there are many factors that affect job
satisfaction and that what makes workers happy with their jobs varies
from one worker to another and from day to day. Apart from the
factors mentioned above, job satisfaction is also influenced by the
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 26
employee's personal characteristics, the manager's personal
characteristics and management style, and the nature of the work
itself. Managers who want to maintain a high level of job satisfaction
in the work force must try to understand the needs of each member of
the work force.
For example, when creating work teams, managers can enhance
worker satisfaction by placing people with similar backgrounds,
experiences, or needs in the same workgroup. Also, managers can
enhance job satisfaction by carefully matching workers with the type
of work.
For example, a person who does not pay attention to detail would
hardly make a good inspector, and a shy worker is unlikely to be a
good salesperson. As much as possible, managers should match job
tasks to employees' personalities.
Managers who are serious about the job satisfaction of workers can
also take other deliberate steps to create a stimulating work
environment. One such step is job enrichment. Job enrichment is a
deliberate upgrading of responsibility, scope, and challenge in the
work itself. Job enrichment usually includes increased responsibility,
recognition, and opportunities for growth, learning, and achievement.
Large companies that have used job-enrichment programs to increase
employee motivation and job satisfaction.
Good management has the potential for creating high morale, high
productivity, and a sense of purpose and meaning for the organization
and its employees. Empirical findings show that job characteristics
such as pay, promotional opportunity, task clarity and significance,
and skills utilization, as well as organizational characteristics such as
commitment and relationship with supervisors and co-workers, have
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 27
significant effects on job satisfaction. These job characteristics can be
carefully managed to enhance job satisfaction.
Of course, a worker who takes some responsibility for his or her job
satisfaction will probably find many more satisfying elements in the
work environment. Everett (1995) suggests that employees ask
themselves the following questions:
When have I come closest to expressing my full potential
in a work situation?
What did it look like?
What aspects of the workplace were most supportive?
What aspects of the work itself were most satisfying?
What did I learn from that experience that could be
applied to the present situation?

Workers' Roles in Job Satisfaction
1. Develop excellent communication skills. Employers value
and reward excellent reading, listening, writing, and
speaking skills.
2. Know more. Acquire new job-related knowledge that
helps you to perform tasks more efficiently and
effectively. This will relieve boredom and often gets one
noticed.
3. Demonstrate creativity and initiative. Qualities like these
are valued by most organizations and often result in
recognition as well as in increased responsibilities and
rewards.
4. Develop teamwork and people skills. A large part of job
success is the ability to work well with others to get the
job done.
5. Accept the diversity in people. Accept people with their
differences and their imperfections and learn how to give
and receive criticism constructively.
6. See the value in your work. Appreciating the significance
of what one does can lead to satisfaction with the work
itself. This helps to give meaning to one's existence, thus
playing a vital role in job satisfaction.
7. Learn to de-stress. Plan to avoid burnout by developing
healthy stress-management techniques.
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 30
Assuring Job Satisfaction
Assuring job satisfaction, over the longterm, requires careful
planning and effort both by management and by workers. Managers
are encouraged to consider such theories as Herzberg's(1957) and
Maslow's (1943) Creating a good blend of factors that contribute to a
stimulating, challenging, supportive, and rewarding work
environment is vital. Because of the relative prominence of pay in the
reward system, it is very important that salaries be tied to job
responsibilities and that pay increases be tied to performance rather
than seniority.
So, in essence, job satisfaction is a product of the events and
conditions that people experience on their jobs. Brief (1998) wrote:
"If a person's work is interesting, her pay is fair, her promotional
opportunities are good, her supervisor is supportive, and her
coworkers are friendly, then a situational approach leads one to
predict she is satisfied with her job" (p. 91). Very simply put, if the
pleasures associated with one's job outweigh the pains, there is some
level of job satisfaction

MODEL OF JOB SATISFACTION
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 32
THEORIES OF JOB SATISFACTION
Affect Theory
Edwin A. Locke’s Range of Affect Theory (1976) is arguably
the most famous job satisfaction model. The main premise of
this theory is that satisfaction is determined by a discrepancy
between what one wants in a job and what one has in a job.
Further, the theory states that how much one values a given
facet of work (e.g. the degree of autonomy in a position)
moderates how satisfied/dissatisfied one becomes when
expectations are/aren’t met. When a person values a particular
facet of a job, his satisfaction is more greatly impacted both
positively (when expectations are met) and negatively (when
expectations are not met), compared to one who doesn’t value
that facet. To illustrate, if Employee A values autonomy in the
workplace and Employee B is indifferent about autonomy,
then Employee A would be more satisfied in a position that
offers a high degree of autonomy and less satisfied in a
position with little or no autonomy compared to Employee B.
This theory also states that too much of a particular facet will
produce stronger feelings of dissatisfaction the more a worker
values that facet.
Dispositional Theory
Another well-known job satisfaction theory is the
Dispositional Theory]. It is a very general theory that suggests
that people have innate dispositions that cause them to have
tendencies toward a certain level of satisfaction, regardless of
one’s job. This approach became a notable explanation of job
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 33
satisfaction in light of evidence that job satisfaction tends to
be stable over time and across careers and jobs. Research also
indicates that identical twins have similar levels of job
satisfaction.
A significant model that narrowed the scope of the
Dispositional Theory was the Core Self-evaluations Model,
proposed by Timothy A. Judge in 1998. Judge argued that
there are four Core Self-evaluations that determine one’s
disposition towards job satisfaction: self-esteem, general self-
efficacy, locus of control, and neuroticism. This model states
that higher levels of self-esteem (the value one places on
his/her self) and general self-efficacy (the belief in one’s own
competence) lead to higher work satisfaction. Having an
internallocus of control (believing one has control over her\his
own life, as opposed to outside forces having control) leads to
higher job satisfaction. Finally, lower levels of neuroticism
lead to higher job satisfaction[].
Two-Factor Theory (Motivator-Hygiene Theory )
Frederick Herzberg’s Two factor theory (also known as
Motivator Hygiene Theory) attempts to explain satisfaction
and motivation in the workplace This theory states that
satisfaction and dissatisfaction are driven by different factors
– motivation and hygiene factors, respectively. An
employee’s motivation to work is continually related to job
satisfaction of a subordinate. Motivation can be seen as an
inner force that drives individuals to attain personal and
organization goals (Hoskinson, Porter, & Wrench, p.133).
Motivating factors are those aspects of the job that make
people want to perform, and provide people with satisfaction,
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 34
for example achievement in work, recognition, promotion
opportunities. These motivating factors are considered to be
intrinsic to the job, or the work carried out. Hygiene factors
include aspects of the working environment such as pay,
company policies, supervisory practices, and other working
conditions
While Hertzberg's model has stimulated much research,
researchers have been unable to reliably empirically prove the
model, with Hack man & Oldham suggesting that Hertzberg's
original formulation of the model may have been a
methodological artifact. Furthermore, the theory does not
consider individual differences, conversely predicting all
employees will react in an identical manner to changes in
motivating/hygiene factors.] Finally, the model has been
criticized in that it does not specify how motivating/hygiene
factors are to be measured.
According to Herzberg following factors acts as motivators:
• Achievement,
• Recognition,
• Advancement,
• Work itself,
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 35
• Possibility of growth, &
• Responsibility.
Hygiene factors are :
• Company policy & administration,
• Technical supervision,
• Inter-personal relations with supervisors, peers &
Subordinates,
• Salary.
• Job security,
• Personal life,
• Working Conditions, &
• Status.
Need Fulfillment Theory :
Under the need-fulfillment theory it is believed that a person
is satisfied if he gets what he wants & the more he wants
something or the more important it is to him, the more
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 36
satisfied he is when he gets it & the more dissatisfied he is
when he does not get it. Needs may be need for personal
achievement, social achievement & for influence.
a) Need for personal achievement :
Desires for personal career development, improvement in
one's own life standards, better education & prospects for
children & desire for improving one's own work performance.
b) Need for social achievement :
A drive for some kind of collective success is relation to some
standards of excellence. It is indexed in terms of desires to
increase overall productivity, increased national prosperity,
better life community & safety for everyone.
c) Need for influence :
A desire to influence other people & surroundings
environment. In the works situation, it means to have power
status & being important as reflected in initiative taking and
participation in decision making.
In summary, this theory tell us that job satisfaction is a
function of, or is positively related to the degree to which
one's personal & social needs are fulfilled in the job situation.
Social References - Group Theory :
It takes into account the point of view & opinions of the group
to whom the individual looks for the guidance. Such groups
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 37
are defined as the 'reference-group' for the individual in that
they define the way in which he should look at the world and
evaluate various phenomena in the environment (including
himself). It would be predicted, according to this theory that if
a job meets the interest, desires and requirements of a person's
reference group, he will like it & if it does not, he will not like
it.
A good example of this theory has been given by C.L. Hulin.
He measures the effects of community characteristics on job
satisfaction of female clerical workers employed in 300
different catalogue order offices. He found that with job
conditions held constant job satisfaction was less among
persons living in a well-to-do neighborhood than among those
whose neighborhood was poor. Hulin, thus provides strong
evidence that such frames of reference for evaluation may be
provided by one's social groups and general social
environment.

INDUSTRIAL PROFILE
“HISTORY OF POWER SECTOR DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA ”
Power Development :
The electric power generation in India on a commercial basis
is almost a century old, substantial power development
efforts began only after independence. At the launch of the
First Five Year plan in 1951, power generation was
recognized as a major input for the country’s economic
development and was accorded high priority. Power sector
outlays have among the highest in successive Five Year Plans
ever since. The two plans focused on hydropower (as
component of multi-purpose projects). Subsequent plans
emphasized on rapid installations of thermal power stations.
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 39
As a result of plan efforts, India’s installed power generation
capacity grew to 16,664 MW in 1974. However, assessment
of the planned growth since 1951 indicated that with the
uneven distribution of resources, power development with
only states as spatial units would and greater capacity
addition, led the Government Of India to assume a leading
role in large-scale power generation as a matter of policy and,
through an amendment of the Electricity (Supply) Act,
National Thermal Power Corporation Ltd. (NTPC) and
National Hydroelectric Power Corporation Ltd. (NHPC) were
set in the central sector to supplement the efforts of the states.
Consequently, total installed capacity of power utilities has
increased from 1,362 MW in 1947 to 1,04918MW in March
2002. Electricity generation, which was only about 4.1 billion
units in 1947, has risen to 515 billion units in 2001-02. As on
March 2002, the total installed capacity of utilities stood at
104918 MW. Most of this installed capacity is under
government control nearly 60% of the power generation
capacity. Currently, the central government owns about 30%
of the power generation capacity in the country, the majority
of which is in the thermal sector. Of the total installed
thermal capacity of 25366.50MW in central sector, NTPC’s
share is 20092MW (76.61%).

“HUMAN RESOURCES AT NTPC”
Powering India’s Growth: - through people
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 57
NTPC strongly believes in achieving organizational
excellence through HumanResources and follows “People
First” approach to leverage the potential of its 23,500
employees to fulfill its business plans. Human Resources
Function has formulated an integrated HR strategy, which is
rests on four building blocks of HR viz. competence building,
commitment building, culture building and system building.
All HR initiates are undertaken within this broad framework
to actualize the HR vision of “enabling the employees to be a
family of commitment world class professionals making
NTPC a learning organization”. To induct talent and groom
them into dedicated cadre of power professionals “Executive
Trainee” Scheme was introduced in the year 1977 for
recruitment in the discipline of Mechanical, Civil, Electrical,
Control &Instrumentation and now encompasses Computer
Science, Chemistry, HR and Finance disciplines also. Besides
a comprehensive one-year training comprising theoretical
inputs as well as on the- job training, the new circuits are
attached with Senior Executives under a systematic and
formal ‘Mentoring System’ of the company to integrate them
into the culture of company. As part of the post employment
training and development opportunities, a systematic training
plan has been formulated for ensuring minimum seven man
days training per employee per year and includes level-wise
planned intervention designed to groom people for assuming
positions of higher responsibility, as well as specific needs
based interventions based on Scientific Training Needs
Analysis. NTPC has created 15 project-training centers, 2
simulator training centers and an apex institute namely
‘Power Management Institute’ (PMI). While the project
training centers(Employee Development Centers) have
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 58
specialized in imparting technical skills and knowledge, PMI
places emphasis on management development. Besides
opportunities for long term education are also provided
through tie-ups with reputed institutions like IIT Delhi,
(M.Tech in Power Generation Technology), MDI Gurgaon
(Executive MBA programmes), BITS Pilani (B.Tech) etc. in
order to realize the HR vision of making NTPC a learning
organization by providing opportunities to continually learn
new capabilities a number of initiatives have been taken.
NTPC open competition for Executives Talent (NOCET) is
organized every year in which teams of executives compete
annually through oral and written presentation on a topical
theme. Similarly “Professional Circle” has been formed
department wise where Executives of the department meet
every fortnight to share their knowledge and experiences and
discuss topical issues. In order to tap the latent talent among
non- executives and make use of they’re potential for
creativity and innovation, Quality Circles have been set up in
various units/ offices in NTPC. Besides a management journal
called “Horizon” is published quarterly to enable the
employees to share their ideas and experiences across the
organization. Demonstrating its high concern for people,
NTPC has developed strong employee welfare, health
&wellbeing and social security systems leading to high level
of commitment. NTPC offers best quality of life through
beautiful township with all amenities such as educational,
medical and recreational opportunities for employees and
their family members. The motivational to perform and excel
is further enhanced through a comprehensive NTPC Rewards
and Recognition System. In order to institutional a strong
culture based on values a number of initiatives are taken to
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 59
actualize the vision and core values (B-COMIT) across the
company. A culture of celebrating achievements and a strong
focus on performance are a way of life in a NTPC. NTPC has
institutionalized “Development Centers” in the company to
systematically diagnose the current and potential competency
requirements of the employees with the objective of
enhancing their development in a planned manner. These
centers give a good insight to the employees about their
strengths and weakness, the gaps in their competencies, which
they can bridge through suitable support from company. Due
to innovative people management practices there is a high
level of pride and commitment amongst employees as
reflected in the “Best Employees in India-2003” survey by
Hewitt Associates in which NTPC bagged coveted third rank.
Further continuous efforts are being made by HR function to
leverage the potential of its
employees and become a strategic business partner.

FINDINGS
From the study, the researcher has come to know that
most of the respondents are satisfied with their job.
the management has taken the best efforts to
maintain cordial relationship with the employees.
Due to the working conditions prevailing in this
company, job satisfaction of each respondent seems
to be the maximum. From the study, I have come to
know that most of the employees were satisfied with
the welfare measures provided by NTPC. The
employees of NTPC get more benefits compare to
other companies.
The respondents are satisfied with the
environment and nature of work
factors .
The respondent’s relationship with the
superiors and colleagues are quite good .
The Respondents are not provided with proper
welfare facilities.
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 108
The communication and motivation of
employees by their superiors in
this organization is reasonable.
The Pay and promotion activities in this
organization is also good .
The Respondents are overall satisfied with
their job
The Parking facilities provided by the
organization are good that’s
why most respondents agree with this
question.
The refreshment facilities are also need to be
improved.
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 109
SUGGESTION AND
RECAMANDATION
In the organization most of employees are satisfied
with all the facilities provided by company. But there
are some employees also who are not satisfied with
the company. Management should try to convert
unsatisfied employees in to satisfied employees.
Because if employee is not satisfied than the he is
not able to give his 100% to his work and the
productivity of employee decrease. So management
should try to satisfied his employees because
employees are the assets of the company not a
liabilities.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
Limitation are as follows-
Data collected is based on questionnaire.
Mukesh Kumar Vishwakarma MBA (HRD) A.P.S.University Rewa (M.P.) 110
The number of employees in NTPC (VSTPS) is
more, so sample size is limited by 100.
The information collected by the observation
method is very limited.
The result would be varying according to the
individuals as well as time.
Some respondents hesitated to give the actual
situation; they feared that management would take
any action against them
The findings and conclusions are based on
knowledge and experience of the respondents
sometime may subject to bias.
