CHAPTER-I INTRODUCTION The human resources represent the qualitative and quantitative measurements of work force needs in an organization. The most significant resource of any organization is its human resources. Human resources are the most precious of all resources. In a general way, human resources are the people and their characteristics at work either at the national level of organizational level from the national point of view human resources are knowledge, skills, creative abilities, talents and aptitude obtained in the population.

5

Human resources are a paramount important for the success of any organization. It is a source of strength and aid. Human resources are the wealth as an organization which can help it in achieving its goal. HRM is concerned with the human beings in and organization. It reflects a new outlook which views organization man power as its resources and assets. HR is the total knowledge, abilities, skills, talent and attitude of an organization work force. The values, ethics, beliefs of the individuals working in an organization also from a part of human resources. The resourcefulness of various categories of people and other people available to the organization can be treated as human resources. In the present complex environment no business or organization can be exist and grow without appropriate human resources. So human resources have become the focus of attention of every progressive organization. HRM is that process of management which develops and manages the human elements of an enterprise. The term job satisfaction was brought to limelight by Hop Pock. He reviewed 32 studies on job satisfaction conducted prior to 1933. He observed that job satisfaction is a combination of psychological, and environment circumstances that causes a person to truthfully say “I am satisfied with my job” This description indicates the variety of variables that affect the job satisfaction but does not indicate us the nature of the job satisfaction . Job satisfaction refers to a person’s feelings after performing a task .It meets his needs and is consistent with his expectations and values the job will be satisfying. It is not self contentment. Happiness or self-satisfaction but satisfaction on the job. MEANING OF JOB SATISFACTION: Jobs require interaction with co workers and bosses, following organizational rules and policies meeting performance standards living with working conditions that are often less than ideal and like. DEFINITION:

6

Job satisfaction is different from the morale and motivation. Morale refers a general attitude towards work and work environment. It is a group phenomenon whereas job satisfaction is an individual feeling. Job satisfaction on the other hand refers to positive emotional state. Motivation implies to Locke defines job satisfaction as: “A pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job or job experiences” In India pesto gee developed as S-D (satisfaction-dis satisfaction) inventory consisting of co interrogatory statement the items leading to yes-no type responses. There are four areas including both on-the job and factors. Each area comprises 20 items some of which are explained below. JOB: Nature f work, working hours, fellow workers overtime regulations, physical environment, machines and tools, interest I work opportunities for promotions and advancement etc. MANAGEMENT; Reward and punishment praise and blames leaves policy, favorable participation, supervisory treatment etc. SOCIAL RELATIONS: Friend and associate, caste barriers, participation in social activities, attitudes. Toward people in community etc. PERSONAL ADJUSTMENT; Health, home and living conditions, finances, relations with family . Emotionalism, etc JOB SATISFACTION AND WORK BEHAVIOUR: Job satisfaction is an integral component of organizational health and important element in industrial relation. The level of job satisfaction seems to have some relation with various aspects of work behaviors such as absenteeism, accidents, productivity and turnover. Several studies have reveled varying degrees of relationship between job satisfaction and these factors of work behavior.

7

Research on the relationships between both satisfaction and accidents generally shows hat satisfied employees cause fewer accidents. Studies on the relationships between job satisfactions that low absentee employees were more satisfied with their jobs. Research also DETERMINATTS OF JOB SATIOSFCTION The various factors influencing job satisfaction may be classified into categories; Environmental factors Personal factors ENVIRONMENT FACTORS JOB CONTENT: Herzberg suggest that job content in of achievement, recognition ,advancement, responsibility and the work itself tend to provide satisfaction but their absence not cause dissatisfaction. Where the job is less repetitive and there is variation in job content, job satisfaction tends to be higher. OCCUPATIONAL LEVEL; The higher the level of the job in organizational hierarchy the greater the satisfaction of the employee. This is because positions at higher levels involucel better pay more challenge and provides greater freedom of operation. Such positions carry greater prestige self control and job satisfaction. PAY AND PROMOTION; All other things being equal higher pay and better opportunities for promotion leads to higher job satisfaction. WORK GROUP: Man is social animal and likes to be associated with others ion interaction in the work group help to satisfy social and psychological needs and therefore isolated workers tend to be dissatisfied. Job satisfaction is generally high when a worker is accepted by his peers and e has a high need for affiliation. SUPERVISION; 8

Considerate supervision helps to improve job satisfaction of employees. A considerate supervision takes persona; interest subordinates and encourages them to participate in the decision making process. However, authoritarian people may more satisfy under the supervision of high status and strongly directive leaders. Employee satisfaction from supervisory behavior depends upon the influence, which the supervisor exercises. On his own superior PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS Personal life exercises a significant on job satisfaction. The main elements of personal life are given below: AGE; Some research studies reveal a positive correlation between age and job satisfaction. Workers in the advanced age group tend to be more satisfied probably because they have adjusted with their job conditions. SEX: one study revealed that women are less satisfied than men due to fewer job opportunities for females. But female workers may be more satisfied due to their lower occupational aspiration. MARITAK STATUS: Generally the married employees having more dependent are more dissatisfied due to on their greater responsibilities. But such employees may be more satisfied because they value their jobs more than unmarried. EDUCATIONAL LEVEL: Generally more educated persons tend to be less satisfied with their jobs due to their higher job aspiration. However research does not yield conclusive relationship between these two variables. EXPERIENCE: Job satisfaction increase with increasing years of experience. But it may decrease after twenty years of experience particularly among people who have not realized their job expectations.

THEORIES OF JOB SATISFACTION The main theories of approaches to job satisfaction are as follows; Need fulfillments theory 9

Two factors theory Equity theory Equity discrepancy theory Discrepancy theory 1). NEED FULFILMENT THEORY; According to this theory a person is satisfied when he gets from his job what he wants. The more he wants something or the more important it is to him the more satisfied he is when he received it. In other words “Job satisfied is actually satisfied”. The fulfillment theory suffers from a major drawback. 2). TWO FACTORS THEORY: Fredrick Herzberg and his colleagues developed the two factors theory. According to this theory satisfaction and dissatisfaction are interdependent of each other and exist on a separate continuum. One set of factors knows as hygiene factors (company policy and , supervisory pay working conditions and interpersonal relations0.act as dissatisfied. Their presence does not result in positive satisfaction 3). EQUITY THEORY: According to this theory a person’s job satisfaction depends upon his perceived as determined by his input output balance in comparison with the input output balance of theory. Every employee compares his reward with those of a reference. 4). EQUITY DISCREPANCY THEORY: This is a combination of equity and discrepancy theories. Lawler has adopted the different approaches of discrepancy theory rather than the ration approach of theory From equity theory the concept of comparison has been selected to serve as an intervening variable. Under this theory, satisfaction is defined as the different between the outcomes that one perceives he actually received and outcomes that one feels. 5).SOCIAL REFERENCE GROUP THEORY

10

Reference group divines the way an individual looks at the world. According to this theory job satisfaction occurs when the job meets the interest desires and requirements of a person’s reference group. FACTORS INHERENT IN THE JOB 1. Type of work 2. Skills required FACTORS CONTROLLED BY MANAGEMENT 1. Security. 2. Participation. 3. Motivation. GENERAL SETEMENTS More important factors conductive to job satisfaction are mentally challenge work equitable reward ive colleagues. 1). MENTALLY CHAMMENGE WORK: Employee tent to perfect jobs that given them opportunities to use their skills and abilities and offer a variety of tasks freedom and o how well they are doing. These characteristics make but too much challenges creates frustration and feeling of failure. Under conditions of moderate challenges most employees will experiences pleasure and satisfaction. 2). EQUITABLE REWARD: Individual who perceive that promotion decisions are made in a fail and just manner therefore are likely to experience satisfaction from their jobs. 3). IVE WORKING CONDITIONS; Employees are concerned with their work environment for both personal comfort and facilitating doing a good job. 4). IVE COLLEAGUES;

11

OX tangible we people get more out of work than merely and a for social achievements. For most employees, work also fills the increase job interaction. Having friendly and ive co- workers lead to increase of job satisfaction. The behavior one’s also a major increased satisfaction. Studies generally find that employee satisfaction praise for when the immediate supervisor understands and friendly a personal good performance, listen to employees opinions and interest in them. DETERMINENTS : Type of work Working conditions Pay Co-workers Ease of commuting to work Advancement opportunities Security Supervision Company prestige, Working hours IMPORTENCE OF JOB SATISFACTION: Reduces absenteeism and turnover Job satisfaction has some relation with mental health of people; Spreads good will about the organization: Job satisfaction has degree of positive correction with physical health of individual; . BENEFITS OF JOB SATISFACTION A). IDENTIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES ATTITUDE

12

Survey reveals how employees feel about job, what parts of their jobs these feelings are focused and which department5 are particularly affected a d whose feelings are involved. Survey also indicated specific areas of satisfaction or dissatisfaction. The survey is a power. B). SATISFACTION SURVEYS IMPROVING ATTITUDE For some employees the survey is a safety values on emotional realize, a chance to get things off their chest, For other the survey is tangible expression of management’s interest in employee welfare which gives employees reasons to fed better towards management. C). IMPROVES COMMUNICATION; Communication flows horizontally, vertically, upwards and downwards. As people want the survey talk and discuss its result particularly beneficial to the company is the upward communication when employees are encouraged to comment about what they really have in their minds. D). JOB SATISFACTION IS THAT THEY HELP MANAGEMENT TO ASSESS TRAINING NEEDS; Employees are given an opportunity to report how they feel the supervisor perform certain parts of jobs such as deleting work and giving adequate job instructions. FACTORS: Various factors while managers can satisfy employee. A review of the evidence has identified 4 factors conducive to high levels of employee job satisfaction. Mentally Challenging Work Equitable Reward ive Working Conditions ive Colleagues 1). MENTALLY CHALLENGING WORK;

13

People prefer jobs that given then opportunities to use their skills. abilities and offers a variety of tasks freedom and on how well they are doing. these characteristics make work mentally challenging. 2). EQUITABLE REWARD; Employee want [pay system and promotions policies that they perceive as being just, unambiguous and in line with their expectations. When pay is scan as fair based on job demands individual skill level, community pay standards and satisfaction is likely to result, Similarly employees seek fair promotion policies and practices, promotions provide opportunities for personal growth, more responsibilities in a fair and just manner, therefore are likely to experience satisfaction from their jobs. 3). IVE WORKING CONDITIONS: Employees are concerned with their work environment for both personal comfort and facilitating doing a good job. Studies demonstrate that employees prefer working close to home in cleans and relatively modern facilities and with adequate tools and equipment. 4). IVE COLLEAGUES; People get more out of work than merely money or tangible achievement. For most employees work also fills the need for social interaction not surprisingly therefore having friendly and ive co-workers leads to increased job satisfaction. the behavior of one’s boss also is a major determinates of satisfaction. Studies generally find that employee satisfaction is increased when the immediate supervisor understands and friendly offer praise for good performance listen to employee’s opinions and shows personal interest in them. WHAT MANAGEMENT CAN DO PROMOTE JOB SATISFACTION? 1).Job Rotation:

Many organizations are seeking a solution on the job satisfaction

boredom through systematically moving workers from one job to another. This practice gives more variety and provides an employee a chance to learn additional skills and abilities.

14

2). Job Enlargement: To check the harmful effects of specialization, the engineering factors involved lines in each individual’s job must be carefully analyzed. Perhaps the assembly lines can be shortened so that there will be more lines and fewer employers on each line. Moreover instead of assigned one employee to each job, a group of employees can be assigned to a group of jobs and then allowed to decide for themselves how to organize the job. 3). Scheduled Rest Periods; Researchers on the impact of rest periods reveal that they may enhance both productivity and morals. Scheduled rest periods bring many advantages; (A). they provide variety and relives monotony. (B). they counteract physical fatigue. (C). they provide opportunities for social s and interactions. 4). Change Of Peace; Anything that will give an employee a chance to change his pace when he wishes will lend a variety to his work. Further if employees are permitted to changes their pace that would give them a sense of accomplishment. 5). Automation; The effect of automation on job satisfaction depends on the degree of automation that is introduced. Clearly automation means different things in different situation and it is difficult to say that it either increase or decrease job satisfaction. Thus it is a belief that a satisfied employee is a good and efficient employee. 6). Greater Autonomy: The most effective way of promoting job satisfaction is to give employees more freedom to perform their job in their own way. People will work harder and derive satisfaction if they are provided more freedom and independence to make their own decisions in respect of their jobs. THE JOB SATISFACTION PEOPLE WANT;

15

An opportunity to do worthwhile and praiseworthy. Recognition as an individual. Good wages and incentives for meritorious performance. Job security for himself and his family . Opportunity for advancement and growth. Adequate benefits and perquisites. Satisfactory working conditions and living conditions. Competent leadership bosses whom he can ire and respect as persons and as bosses No arbitrary action a voice in matters affecting him. Job satisfaction is of utmost significance from the standpoint of employee morale. It is a complex of different attitudes possessed by an individual. These attitudes relate to several aspects of the job such as wages, supervision, steadiness of employment, conditions of work, opportunity for advancement, job security, working hours, fringe benefits, recognition and allied factors. In addition to these job-related factors, individual adjustment and group relationship outside the job also form major determinants of job satisfaction. Factors Affecting Job Satisfaction: a) THE WORK ITSELF: The content of the work itself major source of satisfaction. For, example research related to the job characteristics approach to job design, shows that s form the job itself and autonomy are two of the major jobrelated motivational factors.

16

b) PROMOTIONS: Promotional opportunities seem to have a varying effect on the job satisfaction. This is because promotions take a number of different forms and have a variety of accompanying rewards. For example, individuals who are promoted on the basis of seniority often experience job satisfaction but not as much as those who are promoted on the job performance. Additionally, a promotion with a 10 percent salary raise is typically not as satisfying as one with a 20 percent salary raise. This helps explain why executive promotions may be more satisfying than promotions that occur at the lower levels of organizations. c) SUPERVISION: Supervision is another moderately important source of job satisfaction. It can be said that there seem to be two dimensions of supervisory styles that affect job satisfaction. One is employee centeredness. This is measured by the degree to which a supervisor takes a personal interest in the employee's welfare. It commonly is manifested in ways such as checking to see how well the subordinate is doing, providing advise and assistance to the individual, and communicating with the worker on a personal as well as on official level. d) WORKING CONDITIONS: Working conditions are another factor that have a modest effect on job satisfaction. If the working conditions are good (clean, attractive the surroundings, for instance), the personnel will find it easier to carry out their roles. If the working conditions are poor (hot, noisy surroundings for example), personnel will find it more difficult to get things done. In other words, the effect of working conditions on job satisfaction is similar to that of the work group. If things are good, there will not be a job satisfaction problem; if things are poor, there will be.

MEASURING JOB SATISFACTION:

17

Since job satisfaction is an attitude, it cannot be directly observed and therefore must rely on the employees' self reports. These surveys are receiving renewed interest in the practice of human resources management as seen in the accompanying application. For ex. There are a number of ways of measuring job satisfaction. Some of the most common are rating scales, critical incidents, interviews, and action tendencies. a) RATING SCALES: The most common approach for measuring job satisfaction is the use of rating scales. One of the most popular is the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ). This instrument (MSQ) provides a detailed picture of the specific satisfactions and dissatisfactions of employees. b) CRITICAL INCIDENTS: Frederick Herzberg popularized the critical incidents approach to the measurement of job satisfaction. He and his colleagues used this technique in their research on the two-factor theory of motivation. Employees were asked to describe incidents on their job when they are particularly satisfied and dissatisfied.. One of the major benefits of the critical incidents approach is that it allows the respondents to say whatever they want. The individuals are not restricted by predetermined categories or events as on a structured questionnaire. On the other hand, the approach is time-consuming and there is the interviewer what they think the interviewer wants to hear or something that makes them look good such as, "I like it best when my supervisor gets out of my hair and lets me do the job my way. No one knows how to do this work better than I do." c) INTERVIEWS:

18

Another method of assessing job satisfaction is through the use of personal interviews. This approach allows for an in-depth exploration of job attitudes. If the respondent says something that the interviewer does not understand or would like to learn more about, the interviewer can follow up with additional questions. On the negative side, responses can be misinterpreted and thus lead to erroneous conclusions. A second problem is the possibility of interviewer bias. The way in which the individual asks the questions or the types of information the person chooses to record can affect the outcome. Finally, there is the cost factor. Interviews are a relatively time consuming and thus expensive way of gathering information.

CHAPTER-2 INDUSTRY PROFILE AND COMPANY PROFILE Industry profile: The engineering industry plays a crucial role in the economic development of the country. It meets the increased needs of the capital goods, construction, power and mining sectors of the economy besides catering to achieve a high rate of industrial growth of late, it has emerged as an export sector too through engineering goods were not regarded as traditional export items of our country. The achievement of the engineering industry are impressive particularly in the case of export of services several Indian firms have won in the face of still competition from giant concerns from the development world, prestigious contracts for turnkey jobs. History: The genesis of Indian engineering industry can be traced back roughly to mid nineteenth century starting with wagon building and structural activities. However, it developed in the sense only after independence; it gained momentum after the adoption of Prof. P.C.Mahalnobhis model of heavy capital goods based growth strategy in the second five year plan and subsequent plans. Since then Indian has not only become self reliant in a variety of engineering equipment, but is also exporting engineering goods the country is currently producing power generating transmission an distribution equipment, plant and machinery for steel, chemical and fertilizers, cement plant and machinery, electrical and construction machinery; machine tools railway rolling stock, earth moving equipment and a large number of other industrial goods and consumer durables.

20

The Indian engineering industry is engaged in setting consultancy services and technical know-how to a number of African and Arab states, as well as t venture as an equal partner with developed nations several countries. In the post independence era the industry not only achieved significant enlargement of production capacity, but also has attained a high degree of technical competence and product diversification. Government measures: A welcome policy change towards giving a boost in the machine tools production was the inclusion of machine tools in. appendix I of the industrial policy announced in February 1983 and as refined in April 1983. This has thrown open machine tools manufacture to MRTP and FERA companies, providing item is not reserved for small scale industries. In addition the important policy of 1983-84 was designed to help machine tools production. The provisions included (1) those small-scale units, which exported at least 25% of their output, would be allowed to improve prototype up to Rs. One lakh. (2) all schedule industries will be allowed the facility of important of drawings and designs once in a year for value not exceeding Rs. Ten lakhs, (3) a technology development fund was created to cover foreign exchange requirements for import of balancing equipment technical know-how foreign consultancy service etc., All these steps are designed to encourage fresh investment expansion and modernization in the domestic machine tool industry.

Engineering exports: Our engineering industry has been making considerable progress on the export front. From around Rs. 21 crores in 1965-66, the value of exports of engineering goods rose to over Rs. 105 crores by the end of 60’s and continued to show an encouraging trend during the 70’s.

21

A various export promotion drive launched in the face of the oil crisis when import needed to be stepped up. During this period engineering exports witnessed a great spurt, thanks to various promotional measures. In the period 1971-75 the value of exports more than treble and nearly doubled in the next three years. By the year1982-83 Rs. 1250 crores was reached. The engineering industry has now emerged as one of the leading foreign exchange of the country. Project exports: Project exports are the main plank of the strategy drawn up by the effects for achieving the export, target set the industry. Against our engineering exports of Rs. 1060 crores in 1981-82 project report totaled Rs. 570 crores. Project exports are double benefit. Besides the foreign exchange earnings by way of labor management shill and so on. They generate further exports because orders for equipment are generally give to the country where the consultancy form is based. Broadly project exports fall under the following four categories (1) Turnkey project viz., supply of service such as design, erection commissioning and supervision of the facility for the client besides the supply of the goods. (2) Engineering contracts involving the supply of services as for instance, including the capital equipment. (3) Consultancy services-the preparation techno as well as advice on purchase of finance and construction s. Through India’s Projects have been successful, it is felt that the level of exports don’t match our capabilities. India has a vast pool of trained manpower. According estimated India has well over 250 consultancy firms, which can offer over 5 million man-days year. For project right from conception and design to execution, supervision and management thereafter. Thus in relation to the potential and in the background of the total number of contracts backed by world bidders. The contract secured by Indian project export has not been impressive.

22

Also over the past one year international development have been providing unfavorable to exports. The falling oil prices have affected the revenue and therefore the development expenditure of the problem exporting countries of west Asia. There were cutbacks in the expenditure of south-east Asia and African nations too. Which were surfing from adverse of trade? The problem will be compounded by the competition from contractors currently operating in Latin America countries whose debt problems would hamper their old-financed development programmes. Thus the major market for project export seems to be weakening in potential. Our project exports during 1982-83 were therefore hit hard both in of fresh order and payments for orders fulfilled. In the recent move to set up an institute for project exports would be welcome.

COMPANY PROFILE Profile of APHMEL: The chapter gives a brief profile of the company. APHMEL stands for Andhra Pradesh Heavy Machinery and engineering Limited, which is located at Kondapalli, A small village famous for toys and which is located on the bank of River Krishna professionalism is the Hallmark of this company from the beginning.
