CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Job satisfaction can be grouped as (i) statutory (ii) voluntary and (iii) mutual. Statutory measures are the legal provisions connected with employee welfare, working environment and health factors. The employer can fix certain minimum norms through rules and regulations. Voluntary measures are connected with employee welfare which comprises all those activities that employers undertake for their employees on a voluntary basis. Mutual measures are the welfare activities that are undertaken by the employees themselves. Efficiency of employees is directly and indirectly linked with the conditions and the environment under which employees are required to work. Even the most sincere employee cannot contribute to his best if he is uncomfortable. On the contrary, his productivity is likely to increase when he is comfortable at the working place and welfare amenities. Provision of adequate welfare facilities will go a long way in the improvement of morale of employees and consequent increase in their efficiency and reduction in cost management.
When considering job satisfaction, probably the most important point to bear in mind is that many factors that affect it. What makes workers happy with their jobs varies from worker to workers and from day to day. Apart from the factors previously mentioned, job satisfaction is influenced by the employee’s personal characteristics, the manager’s personal characteristics and management style, and the nature of the work itself. Manager who want to maintain high levels of satisfaction in the workforce must understand the needs of each member of the workforce.
There are some facets of job satisfaction. These include ability utilization, achievement, advancement, authority, company policies, compensation, co-worker relation, creativity, independence, moral values and so on (Ahmad, et.al, 2012). These are important determinants for the job satisfaction of employees. These factors directly and indirectly affect the employee?s job behavior and their level of satisfaction. For example, if an employee feels that he is not paid sufficient salary or he is deprived of his actual salary, then the employee becomes frustrated and his job satisfaction level goes low. Similarly, if an employee feels that his working environment is not suitable, then his job satisfaction goes low. So, the main requisite of job satisfaction is the higher pay and good real opportunity for promotion, considerate and participative management (Islam, et.al, 2013). In practice, these factors are not only controlling phenomena of job satisfaction rather several extrinsic and intrinsic factors directly and indirectly influence and affect the job satisfaction of the bank employees. Moreover, the performance of banks mainly depends on the level of the employees? job satisfaction.
