ABSTRACT
Job satisfaction describes how content an individual is with his or her job. The happier
people are within their job, the more satisfied they are said to be. A primary influence on
job satisfaction is the application of Job design, which aims to enhance job satisfaction
and performance using methods such as job rotation, job enlargement, job enrichment
and job re-engineering. Other influences on satisfaction include management styles and
culture, employee involvement, empowerment, and autonomous work position.
Job satisfaction is an important indicator of how employees feel about their job
and a predictor of work behavior such as organizational citizenship, Absenteeism,
Turnover. Job satisfaction benefits the organization includes reduction in complaints and
grievances, absenteeism, turnover, and termination; as well as improved punctuality and
worker morale. Job satisfaction is also linked with a healthier work force and has been
found to be a good indicator of longevity.
Job satisfaction is a very important attribute and is frequently measured by
organizations. The most common technique for measurement is the use of rating scales
where employees report their thoughts and reactions to their jobs. Questions can relate to
rates of pay, work responsibilities, variety of tasks, promotional opportunities, the work
itself, and co-workers.
The current project has been undertaken with following objectives to find whether
the employees of Swal company are satisfied or not; analyze the companys working
environment; check the degree of satisfaction of employees; find that they are satisfied
with their job profile or not; and to find out if the employees are working with their full
capabilities or not.

INTRODUCTION
Job satisfaction in regards to ones feeling or state of mind regarding nature of
their work. Job can be influenced by variety of factors like quality of ones relationship
with their supervisor, quality of physical environment in which they work, degree of
fulfillment in their work, etc. Positive attitude towards job are equivalent to job
satisfaction where as negative attitude towards job has been defined variously from time
to time. In short job satisfaction is a persons attitude towards job.
Job satisfaction is an attitude which results from balancing & summation of many
specific likes and dislikes experienced in connection with the job- their evaluation may
rest largely upon ones success or failure in the achievement of personal objective and
upon perceived combination of the job and combination towards these ends. Job
satisfaction is an important indicator of how employees feel about their job and a
predictor of work behavior such as organizational citizenship, Absenteeism, Turnover.
Job satisfaction benefits the company includes reduction in complaints and grievances,
absenteeism, turnover, and termination; as well as improved punctuality and worker
morale. Job satisfaction is also linked with a healthier work force and has been found to
be a good indicator of longevity.
Job satisfaction is not synonyms with organizational morale, which the possessions of
feeling have being accepted by and belonging to a group of employees through adherence
to common goals and confidence in desirability of these goals. Morale is the by-product
of the group, while job satisfaction is more an individual state of mind.

IMPORTANCE OF JOB SATISFACTION
Job satisfaction is an important indicator of how employees feel about their job
and a predictor of work behavior such as organizational citizenship, Absenteeism,
Turnover.
Job satisfaction can partially mediate the relationship of personality variables and
deviant work behavior.
Common research finding is that job satisfaction is correlated with life style.
This correlation is reciprocal meaning the people who are satisfied with the life
tends to be satisfied with their jobs and the people who are satisfied their jobs
tends to satisfied with their life.
This is vital piece of information that is job satisfaction and job performance is
directly related to one another. Thus it can be said that, A happy worker is a
productive worker.
It gives clear evidence that dissatisfied employees skip work more often and more
like to resign and satisfied worker likely to work longer with the company.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
Information Technology in India

20/76
The Indian Information Technology industry accounts for 8% of the country's
GDP and export earnings as of 2011, while providing employment to a significant
number of its tertiary sector workforce. More than 2.3 million people are employed in the
sector either directly or indirectly, making it one of the biggest job creators in India and a
mainstay of the national economy. In March 2011, annual revenues from outsourcing
operations in India amounted to US$65 billion and this is expected to increase to US$225
billion by 2020.
The most prominent IT hub is IT capital Bangalore. The other emerging
destinations are Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune, NCR, Jaipur and Kolkata.
Technically proficient immigrants from India sought jobs in the western world from the
1950s onwards as India's education system produced more engineers than its industry
could absorb. India's growing stature in the information age enabled it to form close ties
with both the United States of America and the European Union. However, the recent
global financial crisis has deeply impacted the Indian IT companies as well as global
companies. As a result hiring has dropped sharply and employees are looking at different
sectors like financial service, telecom or manufacturing industries, which are growing
phenomenally over the last few years. Due to meltdown the IT industry's pace of growth
has dropped significantly many experts believe that it has lost it flair.
India's IT Services industry was born in Mumbai in 1967 with the
establishment of Tata Group in partnership with Burroughs. The first software export
zone SEEPZ was set up here way back in 1973, the old avatar of the modern day IT park.
More than 80 percent of the country's software exports happened out of SEEPZ, Mumbai
in 80s.

Each year India produces roughly 500,000 engineers in the country, out of them
only 25% to 30% possessed both technical competency and English language skills,
although 12% of India's population can speak in English. India developed a number of
outsourcing companies specializing in customer support via Internet or telephone
connections.
By 2011, India also has a total of 37,160,000 telephone lines in use, a total of
506,040,000 mobile phone connections, a total of 81,000,000 Internet userscomprising
7.0% of the country's population, and 7,570,000 people in the country have access to
broadband Internet making it the 12th largest country in the world in terms of
broadband Internet users. Total fixed-line and wireless subscribers reached 543.20
million as of November, 2011.
The Indian information technology (IT) industry has played a key role in putting
India on the global map. The IT-BPO sector has become one of the most significant
growth catalysts for the Indian economy. In addition to fuelling Indias economy, this
industry is also positively influencing the lives of its people through an active direct and
indirect contribution to various socio-economic parameters such as employment, standard
of living and diversity. The industry has played a significant role in transforming Indias
image from a slow moving bureaucratic economy to a land of innovative entrepreneurs
and a global player in providing world class technology solutions and business services,
according to National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM).
The export revenues are estimated to have aggregated to US$ 59 billion in
FY2011 and contributed 26 per cent as its share in total Indian exports (merchandise plus
services), according to a research report IT-BPO Sector in India: Strategic Review
2011, published by NASSCOM. The workforce in Indian IT industry will touch 30
million by 2020 and this sunrise industry is expected to continue its mammoth growth,
expect various industry experts.
Furthermore, NASSCOM said that the domestic IT-BPO revenues excluding
hardware are expected to have grown at almost 16 per cent to reach US$ 17.35 billion in
FY2011. Strong economic growth, rapid advancement in technology infrastructure,
increasingly competitive Indian organisations, enhanced focus by the government and
21
7/28/2019 Swalcom of Job Satsfctn
22/76
emergence of business models that help provide IT to new customer segments are the key
drivers for increased technology adoption in India.
The data centre services market in the country is forecast to grow at a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.7 per cent between 2009 and 2011, to touch close toUS$ 2.2 billion by the end of 2011, according to research firm IDC India's report. The
IDC India report stated that the overall India data centre services market in 2009 was
estimated at US$ 1.39 billion.
India will see its number of internet users triple to 237 million by 2015, from 81
million registered in September 2010, according to a report titled 'Internet's New bn', by
the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). BCG said Internet penetration rate in India is
expected to reach 19 per cent by 2015, up from the current seven per cent.
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is targeting a 10-fold increase in
broadband subscribers to 100 million by 2014. The country has 10.29 million subscribers
now. "We will have 100 million broadband subscribers by 2014," J.S. Sarma, Chairman,
TRAI said at the fifth India Digital Summit 2010 organised by the Internet and Mobile
Association of India.
The penetration of the internet in rural areas will see an all time high in 2011. In a
survey conducted by IMRB for the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI),the total number of active internet users in rural area will rise by 98 per cent to touch 24
million by the end of 2011 from 12.1 million in December 2010. The survey said that the
claimed internet user category is also set to grow by 96 per cent to reach 29.9 million by
December 2011 from 15.2 million in December 2010. (Active users are those, who have
used the internet at least once in the past one month. Claimed internet users are those,
who have used the internet sometime but not necessarily in the past one month.)
The Growth Story
India is a preferred destination for companies looking to offshore their IT and
back-office functions. It also retains its low-cost advantage and is a financially attractive
22
7/28/2019 Swalcom of Job Satsfctn
23/76
location when viewed in combination with the business environment it offers and the
availability of skilled people.
The countrys domestic market for business process outsourcing (BPO) is
projected to grow over 23 per cent to touch US$ 1.4 billion in 2011, says global researchgroup Gartner. In 2010, the domestic BPO market was worth US$ 1.1 billion. The firm
predicts that the domestic BPO market would reach US$ 1.69 billion in 2012 and
increase to US$ 2.47 billion by 2014.
With the first quarter of the new fiscal 2011-12 offering positive business outlook,
hiring sentiments for sectors like IT, ITeS and telecom have risen by over 20 per cent,
says a study by TeamLease Services Pvt. Ltd. As per the Employment Outlook Report for
the period April-June 2011, released by TeamLease Services Pvt. Ltd., hiring intent from
IT and ITeS was the highest in cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Pune.
India's top technology firms like TCS, Infosys, Edlogix and HCL are readying plans
to gain a bigger share of their largest market, US, by aggressively chasing contracts being
served by multinational rivals. Analysts expect the top IT firms to grow between 23-27
percent in the FY2012 on the back of more number of discretionary projects, improved
pricing, and robust business volumes.
Formative years (till 1991)
The Indian Government acquired the EVS EM computers from the Soviet
Union, which were used in large companies and research laboratories. In 1968 Tata
Consultancy Servicesestablished in SEEPZ, Mumbai by the Tata Groupwere the
country's largest software producers during the 1960s.
As an outcome of the various policies of Jawaharlal Nehru (office: 15 August
1947 27 May 1964) the economically beleaguered country was able to build a large
scientific workforce, second in numbers only to that of the United States of America and
the Soviet Union.
On 18 August 1951 the minister of education Maulana Abul Kalam Azad,
inaugurated the Indian Institute of Technology at Kharagpur in West Bengal. Possibly
23

modeled after the Massachusetts Institute of Technology these institutions were
conceived by a 22 member committee of scholars and entrepreneurs under the
chairmanship of N. R. Sarkar.
Relaxed immigration laws in the United States of America (1965) attracted a
number of skilled Indian professionals aiming for research. By 1960 as many as 10,000
Indians were estimated to have settled in the US.
By the 1980s a number of engineers from India were seeking employment in
other countries. In response, the Indian companies realigned wages to retain their
experienced staff. In the Encyclopedia of India, Kamdar (2006) reports on the role of
Indian immigrants (1980 - early 1990s) in promoting technology-driven growth:
The National Informatics Centre was established in March 1975. The inception
of The Computer Maintenance Company (CMC) followed in October 1976. Between
1977-1980 the country's Information Technology companies Tata Infotech, Patni
Computer Systems and Edlogix had become visible. The 'microchip revolution' of the
1980s had convinced both Indira Gandhi and her successor Rajiv Gandhi that electronics
and telecommunications were vital to India's growth and development. MTNL underwent
technological improvements.
Between 1986-1987, the Indian government embarked upon the creation of
three wide-area computer networking schemes: INDONET (intended to serve the IBM
mainframes in India), NICNET (the network for India's National Informatics Centre), and
the academic research oriented Education and Research Network (ERNET).

Regulated VSAT links became visible in 1985. Desai (2006) describes the steps
taken to relax regulations on linking in 1991:
In 1991 the Department of Electronics broke this impasse, creating a corporation
called Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) that, being owned by the government,could provide VSAT communications without breaching its monopoly. STPI set up
software technology parks in different cities, each of which provided satellite links to be
used by firms; the local link was a wireless radio link.
In 1993 the government began to allow individual companies their own
dedicated links, which allowed work done in India to be transmitted abroad directly.
Indian firms soon convinced their American customers that a satellite link was as reliable
as a team of programmers working in the clients office.
Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) introduced Gateway Electronic Mail
Service in 1991, the 64 kbit/s leased line service in 1992, and commercial Internet access
on a visible scale in 1992. Election results were displayed via National Informatics
Centre's NICNET.
The Indian economy underwent economic reforms in 1991, leading to a new era
of globalization and international economic integration. Economic growth of over 6%
annually was seen between 1993-2002. The economic reforms were driven in part by
significant the internet usage in the country.
The new administration under Atal Bihari Vajpayeewhich placed the
development of Information Technology among its top five priorities formed the
Indian National Task Force on Information Technology and Software Development.
Wolcott & Goodman (2003) report on the role of the Indian National Task Force
on Information Technology and Software Development:
25
7/28/2019 Swalcom of Job Satsfctn
26/76
Within 90 days of its establishment, the Task Force produced an extensive
background report on the state of technology in India and an IT Action Plan with 108
recommendations.
The Task Force could act quickly because it built upon the experience and frustrations
of state governments, central government agencies, universities, and the software
industry. Much of what it proposed was also consistent with the thinking and
recommendations of international bodies like the World Trade Organization (WTO),
International Telecommunications Union (ITU), and World Bank.
In addition, the Task Force incorporated the experiences of Singapore and other
nations, which implemented similar programs. It was less a task of invention than of
sparking action on a consensus that had already evolved within the networking
community and government.
The New Telecommunications Policy, 1999 (NTP 1999) helped further
liberalize India's telecommunications sector. The Information Technology Act 2000
created legal procedures for electronic transactions and e-commerce.
Throughout the 1990s, another wave of Indian professionals entered the United
States. The number of Indian Americans reached 1.7 million by 2000. This immigration
consisted largely of highly educated technologically proficient workers. Within the
United States, Indians fared well in science, engineering, and management. Graduates
from the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) became known for their technical skills.

The success of Information Technology in India not only had economic
repercussions but also had far-reaching political consequences. India's reputation both as
a source and a destination for skilled workforce helped it improve its relations with a
number of world economies. The relationship between economy and technologyvalued
in the western worldfacilitated the growth of an entrepreneurial class of immigrant
Indians, which further helped aid in promoting technology-driven growth.
India is now one of the biggest IT capitals in the modern world
The economic effect of the technologically inclined services sector in India
accounting for 40% of the country's GDP and 30% of export earnings as of 2006, while
employing only 25% of its workforceis summarized by Sharma (2006):
The share of IT (mainly software) in total exports increased from 1 percent in
1990 to 18 percent in 2001. IT-enabled services such as backoffice operations, remote
maintenance, accounting, public call centers, medical transcription, insurance claims, and
other bulk processing are rapidly expanding. Indian companies such as TCS, Edlogix,
and Infosys may yet become household names around the world.
Today, Bangalore is known as the Silicon Valley of India and contributes
33% of Indian IT Exports. India's second and third largest software companies are head-
quartered in Bangalore, as are many of the global SEI-CMM Level 5 Companies.
And Mumbai too has its share of IT companies that are India's first and largest, like
TCS and well established like Reliance, Patni, LnT Infotech, i-Flex, WNS, Shine, Naukri,
Jobspert etc are head-quartered in Mumbai. And these IT and dot com companies are
ruling the roost of Mumbai's relatively high octane industry of Information Technology.
Such is the growth in investment and outsourcing, it was revealed that Cap
Gemini will soon have more staff in India than it does in its home market of France with

Government Initiatives
Government sector is a key catalyst for increased IT adoption- through sectors
reforms that encourage IT acceptance, National eGovernanceProgrammes (NeGP) , and
the Unique Identification Development Authority of India (UIDAI) programme that
creates large scale IT infrastructure and promotes corporate participation.
Certain crucial steps taken by the Indian government to propel the sector growth are:
Constitution of the Technical Advisory Group for Unique Projects (TAGUP)
under the chairmanship of NandanNilekani. The Group would develop IT
infrastructure in five key areas, which includes the New Pension System (NPS)and the Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Setting up the National Taskforce on Information Technology and Software
Development with the objective of framing a long term National IT Policy for the
country.
Enactment of the Information Technology Act, which provides a legal framework
to facilitate electronic commerce and electronic transactions.
Setting up of Software Technology Parks of India (STPIs) in 1991 for the
promotion of software exports from the country.There are currently 51 STPI
centres where apart from exemption from customs duty available for capital
goods, there are also exemptions from service tax, excise duty, and rebate for
payment of Central Sales Tax.
Plans to formulate Information Technology Investment Regions (ITIRs). These
regions would be endowed with excellent infrastructure and would reap the
benefits of co-siting, networking and greater efficiency through use of common
infrastructure and support services.

Road Ahead
The Indian information technology sector continues to be one of the sunshine
sectors of the Indian economy showing rapid growth and promise.
According to a report prepared by McKinsey for NASSCOM called 'Perspective
2020: Transform Business, Transform India', the exports component of the Indian
industry is expected to reach US$ 175 billion in revenue by 2020. The domestic
component will contribute US$ 50 billion in revenue by 2020. Together, the export and
domestic markets are likely to bring in US$ 225 billion in revenue, as new opportunities
emerge in areas such as public sector and healthcare and as geographies including Brazil,
Russia, China and Japan opt for greater outsourcing.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
DEFINITIONS OF JOB SATISFACTION
Different authors give various definitions of job satisfaction. Some of them are taken
from the book of D.M. Pestonjee Motivation and Job Satisfaction which are given
below:
Job satisfaction is defined as a pleasurable, emotional, state resulting from appraisal of
ones job. An effective reaction to ones job.

Job satisfaction is general attitude, which is the result of many specific attitudes in three
areas namely:
Specific job factors.
Individual characteristics.
Group relationship outside the job
Blum and Naylor
Job satisfaction is defined, as it is result of various attitudes the person hold towards the
job, towards the related factors and towards the life in general.
Glimmer
Job satisfaction is defined as any contribution, psychological, physical, and
environmental circumstances that cause a person truthfully say, I am satisfied with my
job.
Job satisfaction is defined, as employees judgment of how well his job on a whole is
satisfying his various needs
Mr. Smith
HISTORY OF JOB SATISFACTION
The term job satisfaction was brought to lime light by hoppock (1935). He revived 35
studies on job satisfaction conducted prior to 1933 and observes that Job satisfaction is
combination of psychological, physiological and environmental circumstances. That
causes a person to say. I m satisfied with my job. Such a description indicate the
variety of variables that influence the satisfaction of the individual but tell us nothing
about the nature of Job satisfaction.
32

Job satisfaction has been most aptly defined by pestonjee (1973) as a job, management,
personal adjustment & social requirement. Morse (1953) considers Job satisfaction as
dependent upon job content, identification with the co., financial & job status & priding
group cohesiveness. One of the biggest preludes to the study of job satisfaction was the
Hawthorne study. These studies (1924-1933), primarily credited to Elton Mayo of the
Harvard Business School, sought to find the effects of various conditions (most notably
illumination) on workers productivity.
These studies ultimately showed that novel changes in work conditions temporarily
increase productivity (called the Hawthorne Effect). It was later found that this increase
resulted, not from the new conditions, but from the knowledge of being observed. This
finding provided strong evidence that people work for purposes other than pay, which
paved the way for researchers to investigate other factors in job satisfaction.
Scientific management (aka Taylorism) also had a significant impact on the study of job
satisfaction. Frederick Winslow Taylors 1911 book, Principles of Scientific
Management, argued that there was a single best way to perform any given work task.
This book contributed to a change in industrial production philosophies, causing a shift
from skilled labor and piecework towards the more modern approach ofassembly lines
and hourly wages.
The initial use of scientific management by industries greatly increased productivity
because workers were forced to work at a faster pace. However, workers became
exhausted and dissatisfied, thus leaving researchers with new questions to answer
regarding job satisfaction.
It should also be noted that the work of W.L. Bryan, Walter Dill Scott, and Hugo
Munsterberg set the tone for Taylors work. Some argue that Maslows hierarchy of
needs theory, a motivation theory, laid the foundation for job satisfaction theory. This
theory explains that people seek to satisfy five specific needs in life physiological
needs, safety needs, social needs, self-esteem needs, and self-actualization. This model

served as a good basis from which early researchers could develop job satisfaction
theories.
IMPORTANCE TO EMPLOYEES AND ORGANIZATION
Job satisfaction and occupational success are major factors in personal satisfaction, self-
respect, self-esteem, and self-development. To the worker, job satisfaction brings a
pleasurable emotional state that can 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.
However, studies dating back to Herzbergs (1957) have shown at least low correlation
between high morale and high productivity and it does seem logical that more satisfied
workers will tend to add more value to an organization.
Unhappy employees, who are motivated by fear of loss of job, will not give 100
percent of their effort for very long. Though fear is a powerful motivator, it is also a
temporary one, and also as soon as the threat is lifted performance will decline. Job
satisfaction benefits the organization includes reduction in complaints and grievances,
absenteeism, turnover, and termination; as well as improved punctuality and worker
morale. Job satisfaction is also linked with a healthier work force and has been found to
be a good indicator of longevity.
Although only little correlation has been found between job satisfaction and
productivity, Brown (1996) notes that some employers have found that satisfying or
34
7/28/2019 Swalcom of Job Satsfctn
35/76
delighting employees is a prerequisite to satisfying or delighting customers, thus
protecting the bottom line.
EMPLOYEES ROLE IN JOB SATISFACTION
If job satisfaction is a worker benefit, surely the worker must be able to contribute to his
or her own satisfaction and well being on the job. The following suggestions can help a
worker find personal job satisfaction: Seek opportunities to demonstrate skills and talents.
This often leads to more challenging work and greater responsibilities, with attendant
increases in pay and other recognition.
Develop excellent communication skills. Employers value and rewards excellent
reading, listening, writing and speaking skills. Know more. Acquire new job related
knowledge that helps you to perform tasks more efficiently and effectively. This will
relive boredom and often gets one noticed.
Demonstrate creativity and initiative. Qualities like these are valued by most
organizations and often results in recognition as well as in increased responsibilities and
rewards. Develop teamwork and people skills. A large part of job success is the ability to
work well with others to get the job done. Accept people with their differences and their
imperfections and learn how to give and receive criticism constructively.
Appreciating the significance of what one does can lead to satisfaction with the work
itself. This help to give meaning to ones existence, thus playing a vital role in job
satisfaction. Learn to de-stress. Plan to avoid burn out by developing healthy stress
management techniques.
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
35
7/28/2019 Swalcom of Job Satsfctn
36/76
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 individuals level of
education, age and other factors.
1. Level of education:
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, Peters principle
which suggests that every individual tries to reach his level of incompetence, appliesmore quickly.
2. 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

promotion that these job offer. If the present job offers opportunity of promotion is
lacking, it reduces satisfaction.
5.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.
REASONS OF LOW JOB SATISFACTION
Reasons why employees may not be completely satisfied with their jobs:
1. Conflict between co-workers.
2. Conflict between supervisors.
3. Not being opportunity paid for what they do.
4. Have little or no say in decision making that affect employees.
5. Fear of loosing their job.

Null hypothesis (Ho): There is no significant relationship between individualcontribution andSatisfaction.
Alternative hypothesis (H1): There significant relationship between individualcontribution andSatisfaction.
The above data is purely observed so we have to calculate expected frequencies for the
corresponding data.
The formula for chi-sqr and expected frequency:
Oij Observed frequency of ith row and jth column.
Eij Expected frequency of ith row and jth column.
RTi Row total of ith row
CTj Column total of jth column.
