Banking- History & Evolution of Indian Banking System
There are three distinct phases in the history of banking in India:
1. Early phase from 1786 to 1969.
2. Nationalization of Banks and up to 1991 prior to banking sector Reforms.
3. New phase of Indian Banking with the advent of Financial & Banking Sector Reforms
after 1991.
The first phase is from 1786 to 1969, the early phase up to the nationalization of the fourteen
largest of Indian scheduled banks. It was also the traditional or conservative phase of Indian
Banking. The advent of banking system of India started with the establishment of the first joint
stock bank, The General Bank of India in the year 1786. After this first bank, Bank of Hindustan
and Bengal Bank came to existence. In the mid of 19th century, East India Company established
three banks The Bank of Bengal in 1809, The Bank of Bombay in 1840, and bank of Madras in
1843. These banks were independent units and called Presidency banks. These three banks were
amalgamated in 1920 and a new bank, Imperial Bank of India was established. All these
institutions started as private shareholders banks and the shareholders were mostly Europeans.
The Allahabad Bank was established in 1865. The next bank to be set up was the Punjab
National Bank Ltd. which was established with its headquarters at Lahore in 1894 for the first
time exclusively by Indians. Most of the Indian commercial banks, however, owe their origin
tothe 20th century. Bank of India, Central Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, the Canara Bank, the
Indian Bank, and the Bank of Mysore were established between 1906 and 1913. The last major
commercial bank to be set up in this phase was the United Commercial Bank in 1943. Earlier the
establishment of Reserve Bank of India in 1935 as the central bank of the country was an
important step in the development of commercial banking in India.
The history of joint stock banking in this first phase was characterized by slow growth and
periodic failures. There were as many as 1100 banks, mostly small banks, failed during the
1
period from 1913 to 1948. The Government of India concerned by the frequent bank failures in
the country causing miseries to innumerable small depositors and others enacted The Banking
Companies Act, 1949. The title of the Act was changed as "Banking Regulation Act 1949", as per
amending Act of 1965 (Act No.23 of 1965). The Act is the first regulatory step undertaken by the
Government to streamline the functioning and activities of commercial banks in India. Reserve
Bank of India as the Central Banking Authority of the country was vested with extensive powers
for banking supervision.
At the time of Independence of the country in 1947, the banking sector in India was relatively
small and extremely weak. The banks were largely confined to urban areas, extending loans
primarily to trading sector dealing with agricultural produce. There were a large number of
commercial banks, but banking services were not available at rural and semi-urban areas. Such
services were not extended to different sectors of the economy like agriculture, small industries,
professionals and self-employed entrepreneurs, artisans, retail traders etc.
expanding risk-inherent assets held by them. They failed to recognize the emerging nonperforming assets and to build adequate provisions to neutralize the adverse effects of such
assets. Basking in the sunshine of Government ownership that gave to the public implicit faith
and confidence about the sustainability of Government-owned institutions, they failed to collect
beforehand whatever is needed for the rainy day. And surfeit blindly indulged is sure to bring the
sick hour. In the early Nineties after two decades of lop-sided policies, these banks paid heavily
for their misdirected performance in place of pragmatic and balanced policies. The
RBI/Government of India has to step in at the crisis-hour to implement remedial steps. Reforms
in the financial and banking sectors and liberal recapitalization of the ailing and weakened public
sector banks followed. The emphasis shifted to efficient, and prudential banking linked to better
customer care and customer service. The old ideology of social banking was not abandoned, but
the responsibility for development banking is blended with the paramount need for complying
with norms of prudency and efficiency.
The first step towards the nationalization of commercial banks was the result of a report (under
the aegis of RBI) by the Committee of Direction of All India Rural Credit Survey (1951) which
till today is the centre point on the subject. The Committee recommended one strong integrated
state partnered commercial banking institution to stimulate banking development in general and
rural credit in particular. Thus, the Imperial Bank was taken over by the Government and
renamed as the State Bank of India (SBI) on July 1, 1955 with the RBI acquiring overriding
substantial holding of shares. A number of erstwhile banks owned by princely states were made
subsidiaries of SBI in 1959. Thus, the beginning of the Plan era also saw the emergence of public
ownership of one of the most prominent of the commercial banks.
The All-India Rural Credit Survey Committee Report, 1954 recommended an integrated
approach to cooperative credit and emphasized the need for viable credit cooperative societies by
expanding their area of operation, encouraging rural savings and diversifying business. The
Committee also recommended for Government participation in the share capital of the
cooperatives. The report subsequently paved the way for the present structure and composition of
the Cooperative Banks in the country.
There was a feeling that though the Indian banking system had made considerable progress in the
'50s and '60s, it established close links between commercial and industry houses, resulting in
cornering of bank credit by these segments to the exclusion of agriculture and small industries.
To meet these concerns, in 1967, the Government introduced the concept of social control in the
banking industry. The scheme of social control was aimed at bringing some changes in the
management and distribution of credit by the commercial banks. The close link between big
business houses and big banks was intended to be snapped or at least made ineffective by the
reconstitution of the Board of Directors to the effect that 51 per cent of the directors were to have
special knowledge or practical experience. Appointment of whole-time Chairman with special
knowledge and practical experience of working of commercial banks or financial or economic or
business administration was intended to professionalize the top management. Imposition of
restrictions on loans to be granted to the directors' concerns was another step towards avoiding
undesirable flow of credit to the units in which the directors were interested. The scheme also
provided for the take-over of banks under certain circumstances.
Political compulsion then partially attributed to inadequacies of the social control, led to the
Government of India nationalizing, in 1969, 14 major scheduled commercial banks which had
deposits above a cut-off size. The objective was to serve better the needs of development of the
economy in conformity with national priorities and objectives. In a somewhat repeat of the same
experience, eleven years after nationalization, the Government announced the nationalization of
seven more scheduled commercial banks above the cut-off size. The second round of
nationalization gave an impression that if a private sector bank grew to the cut-off size it would
be under the threat of nationalization.
From the fifties a number of exclusively state-owned development financial institutions (DFIs)
were also set up both at the national and state level, with a lone exception of Industrial Credit
and Investment Corporation (ICICI) which had a minority private share holding. The mutual
fund activity was also a virtual monopoly of Government owned institution, viz., the Unit Trust
of India. Refinance institutions in agriculture and industry sectors were also developed, similar in
nature to the DFIs. Insurance, both Life and General, also became state monopolies.
Development Banks
IDBI PROFILE
Journey from IDBI to IDBI Bank Ltd
Industrial Development Bank of India Industrial Development bank of India (IDBI) was
constituted under Industrial Development bank of India Act, 1964 as a Development Financial
Institution and came into being as on July 01, 1964 vide GoInotification datedJune 22, 1964. It
was regarded as a Public Financial Institution in terms of the provisions of Section 4A of the
Companies Act, 1956. It continued to serve as a DFI for 40 years till the year 2004 when it was
transformed into a Bank.
Industrial Development Bank of India Limited In response to the felt need and on commercial
prudence, it was decided to transform IDBI into a Bank. For the purpose, Industrial Development
bank (transfer of undertaking and Repeal) Act, 2003 [Repeal Act] was passed repealing the
Industrial Development Bank of India Act, 1964. In terms of the provisions of the Repeal Act, a
new company under the name of Industrial Development Bank of India Limited (IDBI Ltd.) was
incorporated as a Govt. Company under the Companies Act, 1956 on September 27, 2004.
Thereafter, the undertaking of IDBI was transferred to and vested in IDBI Ltd. with effect from
the effective date of October 01, 2004. In terms of the provisions of the Repeal Act, IDBI Ltd.
has been functioning as a Bank in addition to its earlier role of a Financial Institution.
Merger of IDBI bank Ltd. with IDBI Ltd. Towards achieving the faster inorganic growth of
the Bank, IDBI Bank Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of IDBI Ltd. was amalgamated with IDBI
Ltd. in terms of the provisions of Section 44A of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 providing for
voluntary amalgamation of two banking companies. The merger became effective from April 02,
2005.

(July 1, 1964 to September 30, 2004) in the realm of industry and thereafter as a full-service
commercial Bank (October 1, 2004 onwards). As a DFI, the erstwhile IDBI stretched its canvas
beyond mere project financing to cover an array of services that contributed towards balanced
geographical spread of industries, development of identified backward areas, emergence of a
new spirit of enterprise and evolution of a deep and vibrant capital market. On October 1, 2004,
the erstwhile IDBI converted into a Banking company (as Industrial Development Bank of India
Limited) to undertake the entire gamut of Banking activities while continuing to play its secular
DFI role. Post the mergers of the erstwhile IDBI Bank with its parent company (IDBI Ltd.) on
April 2, 2005 (appointed date: October 1, 2004) and the subsequent merger of the erstwhile The
United Western Bank Ltd. with IDBI Bank on October 3, 2006, the tech-savvy, new generation
Bank with majority Government shareholding today touches the lives of millions of Indians

Environment
An employer the bank extends a lot of authority along with justified accountability to you. The
working culture is very collaborative in nature. It can be owed to the fact that the bank is highly
segmented with a lot of overlapping and mostly distinct roles and responsibility.ICICI Bank has
established itself as a one stop solution (Universal Bank) for all financial need of individuals and
institutions alike. The credit for the same can be attributed to its vast network, probably the
largest among private sector banks.This makes the life of an employee a lot easier, especially for
those who face the external customers. You do not have to justify your organization, it is only the
product that has to be pitched. As far as employee benefits are concerned, ICICI Bank offers a lot
of financial benefits ranging from your family health insurance to your kids school donations.
26
The organization is sensitive to the needs of its employees as this quality is one of the building
blocks (DNA) of the organizational culture. The organization will be giving you enough
flexibility to innovate and come-up with new ideas. It will also exhibit its in terms of well laid
systems, processes and infrastructure.
Technology
ICICI use many type of advance technological software like Pinnacle 7.0 and
Pinnacle7.016.Among from this software ICICI bank uses the e-banking, core banking, mobile
banking electronic display sy ICICI Bank was using Teradata for its data warehouse. However,
due to its proprietary hardware, the cost of procurement, upgrades and administration was
soaring. The closed box architecture of Teradata imposed restrictions on scalability. Secondly,
querying and loading could not happen simultaneously. Queries could only be run during
business hours because the loading of data had to take place during off-business hours. This
meant that the refresh rate of EDW was delayed, so queries may not reflect the most current data.
ICICI Bank was also dependent on Teradata for support and other activities: The bank was
completely tied down to that solution.
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.
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
management
(aka
Taylorism) also had a significant impact on the study of job satisfaction. , he 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 labour and piecework
towards the more modern approach of assembly lines and hourly wages. The initial use of
scientific management by industries greatly increased productivity because workers were
28
forced to work at a faster pace. However, workers became exhausted and dissatisfied, thus
leaving researchers with new questions to answer regarding job satisfaction.
29
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 delighting
employees is a prerequisite to satisfying or delighting customers, thus protecting the bottom
line.
Hoppock, the earliest investigator in this field, in 1935 suggested that there are six major
components of job satisfaction. These are as under:
Herberg, mausaer, Peterson and capwell in 1957 reviewed more than 150 studies and listed
various job factors of job satisfaction. These are briefly defined one by one as follows:
1. Intrinsic aspect of job
It includes all of the many aspects of the work, which would tend to be constant for the work
regardless of where the work was performed.
2. Supervision
This aspect of job satisfaction pertains to relationship of worker with his immediate superiors.
Supervision, as a factor, generally influences job satisfaction.
3. Working conditions
This includes those physical aspects of environment which are not necessary a part of the work.
Hours are included this factor because it is primarily a function of organization, affecting the
individuals comfort and convenience in much the same way as other physical working
conditions.
4. Wage and salaries
This factor includes all aspect of job involving present monitory remuneration for work done.
5. Opportunities for advancement
It includes all aspect of job which individual sees as potential sources of betterment of economic
position, organizational status or professional experience.
6. Security
It is defined to include that feature of job situation, which leads to assurance for continued
employment, either within the same company or within same type of work profession.
7. Company & management
31
32
In human resource refers to characteristics of a given company or industry relative to the rate at
which an employer gains and losses the staff.
If the employer is said to be have a high turnover of employees of that company have shorter
tenure than those of other companies.
3. Training Cost Increases
As employees leaves organization due to lack of job satisfaction. Then Human resource manager
has to recruit new employees. So that the training expenditure will increase
Many managers subscribe to the belief that a satisfied worker is necessarily good worker. In
other words, if management could keep the entire workers happy, good performance would
automatically fallow. There are two propositions concerning the satisfaction performance
relationship. The first proposition, which is based on traditional view, is that satisfaction is the
effect rather than the cause of performance. This proposition says that efforts in a job lead to
rewards, which results in a certain level of satisfaction .in another proposition, both satisfaction
and performance are considered to be functions of rewards.
Various research studies indicate that to a certain extent job satisfaction affects employee
turnover, and consequently organization can gain from lower turnover in terms of lower hiring
and training costs. Also research has shown an inverse relation between job satisfaction and
absenteeism. When job satisfaction is high there would be low absenteeism, but when job
satisfaction is low, it is more likely to lead a high absenteeism. What job satisfaction people
need? Each employee wants:
1. Recognition as an individual
2. Meaningful task
3. An opportunity to do something worthwhile.
4. Job security for himself and his family
5. Good wages
6. Adequate benefits
7. Opportunity to advance
8. No arbitrary action- a voice a matters affecting him
9. Satisfactory working conditions
10. Competence leadership
Bosses whom he can admire and respect as persons and as bosses. However, the two concepts are
interrelated in that job satisfaction can contribute to morale and morale can contribute to job
satisfaction. It must be remembered that satisfaction and motivation are not synonyms.
Motivation is a drive to perform, where as satisfaction reflects the individuals attitude towards
the situation. The factors that determine whether individual is adequately satisfied with the job
differs from those that determine whether he or she is motivated. The level of job satisfaction is
largely determined by the comfits offered by the environment and the situation. Motivation, on
34
the other hand is largely determine by value of reward and their dependence on performance.
The result of high job satisfaction is increased commitment to the organization, which may or
may not result in better performance. A wide range of factors affects an individuals level of
satisfaction. While organizational rewards can and do have an impact, job satisfaction is
primarily determine by factors that are usually not directly controlled by the organization. a high
level of job satisfaction lead to organizational commitment, while a low level, or dissatisfaction,
result in a behavior detrimental to the organization. For example, employee who like their jobs,
supervisors, and the factors related to the job will probably be loyal and devoted. People will
work harder and derive satisfaction if they are given the freedom to make their own decisions.
35
Figure 1.1
Edward E.lawler in 1973 propoed a model of facet satisfaction. This model is applicable to
understand what determines a persons satisfaction with any facet of job. According to this model
actual outcome level plays a key role in a persons perception of what rewards he receives. His
perception influenced by his perception of what his referent others receive. The higher outcome
level of his referent other the lower his outcome level will appear. This model also focuses on his
perception on reward level.
i.
Affect Theory
Edwin A. Lockes 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
36
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/arent 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
doesnt 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.
ii.
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 ones job. This approach became a notable explanation
of job 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 Selfevaluations Model, proposed by Timothy A. Judge in 1998. Judge argued that there are four Core
Self-evaluations that determine ones disposition towards job satisfaction: self-esteem, general
self-efficacy, locus of control, and neuroticism. This model states that higher levels of selfesteem (the value one places on his self) and general self-efficacy (the belief in ones own
competence) lead to higher work satisfaction. Having an internal locus of control (believing one
has control over her\his own life, as opposed to outside forces having control) lead to higher job
satisfaction. Finally, lower levels of neuroticism lead to higher job satisfaction
iii.
Frederick Hertzbergs 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.
37
Motivating factors are those aspects of the job that make people want to perform, and provide
people with satisfaction. These motivating factors are considered to be intrinsic to the job, or the
work carried out. Motivating 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 Hackman & 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]
iv.
Hackman & Oldham proposed the Job Characteristics Model, which is widely used as a
framework to study how particular job characteristicsimpact on job outcomes, including job
satisfaction.
The model states that there are five core job characteristics (skill variety, task identity, task
significance, autonomy, and feedback) which impact three critical psychological states
(experienced meaningfulness, experienced responsibility for outcomes, and knowledge of the
actual results), in turn influencing work outcomes (job satisfaction, absenteeism, work
motivation, etc.). The five core job characteristics can be combined to form a motivating
potential score (MPS) for a job, which can be used as an index of how likely a job is to affect an
employee's attitudes and behaviors. A meta-analysis of studies that assess the framework of the
model provides some support for the validity of the JCM.
v.
In this method of measuring job satisfaction the comparison between various organizational
terms and conditions at managerial level and also the organization at a large
38

employees, hop pock identified six factors that contributed to job satisfaction among them. These
are as follows:
1. The way individual reacts to unpleasant situations.
2. The facilities with which he adjust himself to other persons.
3. His relatives status in the social & economic group with which he identifies himself.
4. The nature of work in relation to the abilities, interest & preparation of the workers.
5. Security.
6. Loyalty.
Because human resource manager often serve as intermediaries between employees &
management in conflict. They are concern with Job satisfaction or general job attitudes with the
employees. Philip apple white has listed the five major components of Job satisfaction .as
1. Attitude towards work group.
2. General working conditions.
3. Attitude towards company.
4. Monitory benefits.
5. Attitude towards supervision
Other components that should be added to this five are individuals state of mind about the work
itself and about the life in general .the individuals health, age, level of aspiration. Social status
and political & social activities can all contribute to the Job satisfaction. A persons attitude
toward his or her job may be positive or negative.
5. Job Enlargement
The concept of job enlargement originated after World War II. It is simply the organizing of the
work so as to relate the contents of the job to the capacity, actual and potential, of workers. Job
enlargement is oblivious forerunner of the concept and philosophy of job design. Stephan offers
three basic assumptions behind the concept of job enlargement.
Output will increase if
1. Workers abilities are fully utilized
2. Worker has more control over the work
3. Workers interest in work and workplace is stimulated.
41
Job enlargement is a generic term that broadly means adding more and different tasks to a
specialized job. It may widen the number of task the employee must do that is, add variety. When
additional simple task are added to a job, the process is called horizontal job enlargement. This
also presumably adds interest to the work and reduces monotony and boredom.
To check harmful effects of specialization, the engineering factors involved in each individual
job must be carefully analyzed. Perhaps, the assembly lines can be shortened so that there will be
more lines and fewer workers on each line. Moreover, instead of assigning one man to each job
and then allowed to decide for himself how to organize the work. Such changes permit more
social contacts and greater control over the work process.
6. Job Rotation
Job rotation involves periodic assignments of an employee to completely different sets of job
activities. One way to tackle work routine is to use the job rotation. When an activity is no longer
challenging, the employee is rotated to another job, at the same level that has similar skill
requirements.
Many companies are seeking a solution to on-the-job boredom through systematically moving
workers from one job to another. This practice provides more varieties and gives employees a
chance to learn additional skills. The company also benefits since the workers are qualified to
perform a number of different jobs in the event of an emergency.
7. Change of Pace
Anything that will give the worker a chance to change his pace when he wishes will lend variety
to his work. Further if workers are permitted to change their pace that would give them a sense
of accomplishment.

Cement Industry of Chhattisgarh
By Wadhwa Singh Daljeet, Verghese Manoj & Wadhwa Singh Dalvinder,
September (2011)
Different people interpret compensation differently. In this paper compensation, reward,
recognition, and wages are terms used in different situations (Spector, 2011). The compensation
is defined by American Association is cash and non-cash remuneration provided by the
employer for services rendered . Salary was found to be the prime factor for the motivation and
job satisfaction of salaried employees of the automobile industry from the results of the survey.
The survey tried to assess the various job characteristics and the way the employees ranked them
as motivators and satisfiers. The results showed that compensation was ranked as the number one
job element for job satisfaction and increase in salary for performance was ranked as the number
43
one job element for motivation. Compensation is very valuable tool for retention and turnover. It
is also a motivator for an employee in commitment with the organization which in result
enhances attraction and retention. It also works as communicator when it is given to employee
against his services which shows how much an employee is valuable for its organization. The
mentoring is used for development-orientation. When a supervisor provides mentoring, the
relationship affects the protgs skill development and intentions to remain with the employer.
On the other hand non-supervisory mentor may increase mentees confidence by providing
access to outside organization. The immediate supervisor support is very important in
organizational change. Although the support of supervisor is not very crucial in satisfaction but it
has positive impact on satisfaction

By Patterson & West, (2011)
According to the study conducted by Patterson & West, (2011), it was discovered that
management & friendly staff relationships contribute to the level of job satisfaction. According
to Politis, (2012) work conditions are defined as an employees work place, work instruments,
the work itself, organization policy, and organizational rules. He has promoted factors such as
temperature, lighting, ventilation, hygiene, noise, working hours, and resources as part of
working conditions. The worker would rather desire working conditions that will result in greater
physical comfort and convenience. The absence of such working conditions, amongst other
things, can impact poorly on the workers mental and physical well-being. He advocates that
working conditions will influence job satisfaction, as employees are concerned with a
comfortable physical work environment. In turn this will render a more positive level of job
satisfaction. It shows that factors such as temperature, lighting, ventilation, hygiene, noise,
working hours, and resources are all part of working conditions. Employees may feel that poor
working conditions will only provoke negative performance, since their jobs are mentally and
physically demanding.

Article: The motivation to work.
By Herzberg & Mausner, (2009)
According to Herzberg & Mausner, (2009) defines fairness as equal treatment, receiving the
same services and benefits as other people. Fairness means different things to different people,
and our view of whether or not something is fair often depends on the circumstances. Competent
employees are essential to the success of any organization. An important factor driving
satisfaction in the service environment is service quality. One school of thought refers to service
quality as a global assessment about a service category or a particular organization. Recently, it
has been argued that satisfaction is generally viewed as a broader concept and service quality is a
component of satisfaction. This is because satisfaction derives from various sources, such as
service encounter satisfaction and overall satisfaction. In other words, a little satisfaction from
each service encounter leads to overall satisfaction with the service. Various studies discussed
shows that job satisfaction has been studied with relevance to co-worker behavior supervisor
behavior, pay and promotion, organizational factors and other work related factors. In some
studies the employees were highly satisfied or otherwise. While going through the various
literature surveys the following points could be highlighted. Employers that are untrustworthy
are a burden to their employees and may cause stress. Distrust can result from a variety of
situations. Harassment, in any form, may cause a new level of stress for the employee. It
becomes increasingly difficult to do a respectable job at work when one is consistently faced
with an uncomfortable working environment. This anxiety is caused by trying to avoid
troublesome confrontations and situations. Workers may agonize about the consequences they
would face if the harassment were to be reported, as well as the repercussions of not reporting it.
Dissatisfaction with the job may come from sources other than stress Dissatisfaction may also
arise, with the same result in turnover, when the work environment fails to have any flexibility or
any source of amusement for the employees; the tone of the business will become stressful or
tedious

Article: The challenge of motivating top management: A need satisfaction
perspective
By Arnolds & Boshoff, (2010)
Lack of communication in the workforce is a major contributor to dissatisfaction. This is usually
the result of managerial staff that is isolated and does not know how to relate to their employees
on a personal or professional level. Often companies become more focused on production and
revenues, rather than with their own employees, or even their customers. In the case of
employees, the employees may rarely be praised for the quality of their performance. If a
company does performance appraisals, the results may be given in such a harsh tone that, rather
than motivating an employee, it intimidates and an employee may feel uncomfortable in the
workplace, rather than encouraged to achieve more. It may be common for upper management in
some workplaces, to take the ideas of lower level employees lightly, which leaves these
employees feeling neglected and worthless. It becomes difficult for workers to see a bright future
while working for the company. Those employees who do work well to support the company
may not be compensated for their efforts. Employers that choose to under-compensate know that
these employees will work hard for minimal pay, and these employers will compensate
accordingly. At the same time, the same employers will pay more to other employees who are not
willing to work for minimal compensation. This compensation disparity leads to dissatisfaction
because eventually the hard worker will notice that he or she is not being compensated fairly for
the amount of work they are doing, and will begin searching for another company that will
appreciate his or her labor. Employers should prepare for the interview by doing a job assessment
to see what skills are necessary for the position, then testing applicants to see if they have the
ability to be trained to the position and have the skills and knowledge that correspond with the
job description. It is critical that during this phase, the employer give an accurate description of
the job to candidates so they can prepare for the challenges ahead.

Article: A Study on Job Satisfaction of Paper Mill Employees with Special
Reference to Udumalpet and Palani Taluk
By Dr. Anitha, (2011)
Staff well-being and their level of satisfaction and engagement have been found to directly
impact on organizational performance and ultimately organizational success. It is an obvious
statement but high employee satisfaction levels can reduce employee turnover. Dissatisfied
employees tend to perform below their capabilities, result in high turnover of staff and leave their
jobs relatively quickly, and are not very likely to recommend your company as an employer.
Satisfied employees tend to contribute more in terms of Organizational productivity and
maintaining a commitment to customer satisfaction. Staff satisfaction surveys give employees a
voice and also allows the pinpointing of problematic areas, leading to the raising of staff
satisfaction levels, developing and reviewing of staff management, and optimizing corporate
communications. This is a Research work done in the similar field with special reference to
KRIBHCO, Surat. Many researchers have done such surveys with different organizations before
also. Dr. R. Anitha (2011) studied the Job Satisfaction of Paper Mill Employees with Special
Reference to Udumalpet and Palani Taluk. Satisfaction level of the employees was measured on
the basis of employees working conditions, rewards, welfare measures & job security. The 100
employees were selected after considering time and cost. The method of simple random
sampling was undertaken for the research purpose. The Convenience method of sampling is used
to collect the data from the respondents. The collected data had been analyzed by using
Percentage analysis& Chi square test. Halil Zaim, Selim Zaim, measured Employee Satisfaction
in Small and Medium Sized Enterprises, by using factors such as pay and benefits, peers,
management, working environment and superiors. The survey instrument was composed of
questions relating to employee satisfaction and loyalty. A multi-item scale was developed to
operationalise the employee satisfaction construct in a manufacturing context. In the second part
of the survey instrument, a single question regarding employees overall evaluation of
organization loyalty was asked. Each item related to employee satisfaction context and employee
loyalty was rated on a five-point scale, ranging from very low to very high. The sample of
47
the study was selected randomly from the database of Turkish Small Business Administration
(KOSGEB). The study focused on the textile industry including textile mill products and apparel.
The findings showed that there is a positive linear relationship between all these five factors of
employee satisfaction and employee loyalty. However, among these factors, pay and benefits was
found to be the most important criterion followed by management and working environment.

Article: Job Satisfaction
By Brikend, (2011)
Brikend Aziri, (2011) studied Job Satisfaction and found that Job satisfaction is under the
influence of a series of factors such as: The nature of work, Salary, Advancement opportunities,
Management, Work groups and Work conditions. It is one of the major challenges for todays
organization. Job satisfaction represents a combination of positive or negative feelings that
workers have towards their work. Meanwhile, when a worker employed in a business
organization, brings with it the needs, desires and experiences which determinates expectations
that he has dismissed. Job satisfaction represents the extent to which expectations are and match
the real awards. Job satisfaction is closely linked to that individual's behavior in the work place .
Job satisfaction is a workers sense of achievement and success on the job. It is generally
perceived to be directly linked to productivity as well as to personal well-being. Job satisfaction
implies doing a job one enjoys, doing it well and being rewarded for ones efforts. Job
satisfaction further implies enthusiasm and happiness with ones work. Job satisfaction is the
key ingredient that leads to recognition, income, promotion, and the achievement of other goals
that lead to a feeling of fulfillment

Research Methodology
Another important part related to any research proposal is to decide about the research design,
methods of data collection, sample size etc. These decisions are very difficult to make. Here
research methodology means steps or process followed for the purpose of finding out the best
solution related to the specific research problem. Various steps that are generally followed in
order to conduct any research work are as followsa. First step is to decide about the research problem. In order to identify a research problem,
various articles and journals will be studied by the researcher
b. After studying various articles and journals in specific area, it is possible to reach to
research gap
c. After finding out the research gap, next step is to decide about the objectives related to
the study
d. Then decide about the research design, methods of data collection, sample size etc
e. After this, data is collected either from primary or secondary sources depending upon the
time availability
f. Then data collected is analyzed in order to reach to final conclusion.
Research Design
This is a general tendency that, a research is conducted to achieve some objectives or purpose.
There are no of research questions in the study and study is conducted in order to explore
answers of all these questions. According to purpose, there are no of research designs that can be
used in the studya. Exploratory Research
In this type of research design, research is conducted in order to explore the research problem. In
this researcher is having broad idea in his mind and by performing literature review, it is possible
to identify a research problem.
49
b. Descriptive Research
In descriptive research, problem is already known to researcher. Here research is carried out to
find out solutions for solving the research problems.
In the present study, descriptive research design is considered to be an appropriate research
design as the problem is known to researcher and she is carried out the research to find out
solutions to this research problem As the research problem of the present study is known to
researcher, so descriptive research design is used in present study in order to achieve the
objectives in an effective way
The Research Design Include Sample design: Before the process of data collection began I started a detailed yet specific
description about the target group which was the employees of the various reputed
organizations.
monitored were drafted to precisely capture the behavior and attitude of the employees of
such organizations towards the satisfaction of their job respectively and finalized a figure of
50
The study is significant as it helps to find out the needs of the employees in the organization and
the things which satisfy the employees. HR management plays very vital role in todays business
firms.
It is very challenging part of Business Management. Proper programs and skill analysis of
workers is very compulsory for every organization in todays Competitive Business
Environment. In modern era, it is necessary to have multi skilled employees so that productivity
can be increased as well as it is also the organizations duty to satisfy the employees in all
manners. The study helps to develop the needs and requirement which are helpful for employees
to perform various jobs in good manner in the organization. The study explains the various
welfare facilities provided to employees.
On the basis of existing skills possessed by the employees, welfare needs are identified. This
study helps to implement the welfare programs according to the needs of the employees. So the
study becomes relevant to understand the employee welfare.
51
sampling includes all those methods in which sample are chosen by researcher by using their
own experience.
In the present study, simple random sampling is used for the purpose of choosing the
appropriate samples and then information is collected from these samples in order to reach to
final conclusion. Simple random sampling means when any unit is selected from the population
randomly without any biasness. Sample of 100 employees are taken in order to know about their
opinion.
IDBI Bank -50 Employees
ICICI Bank -50 Employees
As there is no biasness in choosing the sample, chances of getting reliable & accurate
information is more. If information collected is reliable, then results of the study are also reliable
and it is also possible to achieve the objectives of the study in better way.
Data Collection
The two main methods of collecting data are
1. Primary data
2. Secondary data
Primary Data: The primary data are those, which are collected for first time hence, which are
fresh and thus, happen to be original in character. Such data are published by authority who
themselves are responsible for their collection.
Hence the Primary data utilized was as follows.
Questionnaires.
Personal observations.
Secondary Data: The secondary data are those records which have already been collected by
organisation and which have already been processed. Secondary data are information which has
previously been collected by respective section/unit/departments of an organisation to satisfy its
own need but it is being used by the management under references for an entirely optimistic
reasons. The data was collected through survey and books, reports, newspapers and internet etc.,
and the survey was conducted among the employees. The data collected by the researcher are
tabulated and analyzed in such a way to make interpretations.

Suggestions
The following suggestions or rather recommendations can be cited as a conclusion to the project
report entitled A study on Employee Job Satisfaction
73
1. Job autonomy
A sense of freedom will have to be given in an employees regular course of his/her job so as to
ensure his participation in decision making and management which would further boost his
morale and generate job satisfaction.
2. Challenging jobs
The content of an individuals job is to be made challenging; if this is not the case, then jobs
would rather seem repetitive and boring to be performed in the same wavelength all the time.
3. Job rotation
The Company can also think of changing the profile of the worker for some days by using a job
rotation strategy, whereby he would be given an opportunity to experience different kinds of jobs
apart from his usual ones.
4. Promotional opportunities
The careers of the employees in the organizations should be modified so as to include a fast pace
in their career slope and include more rewarding jobs.
5. Training
Amount of discomfort experienced by an individual in his work can be combated by making use
of appropriate training methodologies. if this is not the case, then employees may feel isolated
from their work and job dissatisfaction may be the result.
74
The major limitation of the study was time constraint as only few days were available for the
study.
Lack of information
Limited information was made available from the organization.
Small Sample Size:
Sample size was very small and sample of 100 employees taken only.
Lack of knowledge:
Proper information and knowledge are basis of any research but there was lack of information
and knowledge. Employees were not ready to provide the information.

following conclusions have been drawn out:
75
1. In most of the cases, the organizational factors have had little impact on the overall job
satisfaction (that is to say that the organizational factors have caused little dissatisfaction
in the individuals)
2. Most of the respondents are satisfied with the work environment at IDBI & ICICI Bank.
Almost all the employees of both banks have an opinion or agreed that they have
sufficient resources to perform the job assigned to them.
3. The company has taken utmost importance in providing a healthy and hygienic work
environment to all the employees both in case of IDBI & ICICI Bank.
4. The Companys policies and practices seem to be employee friendly as none of the
employees said it is poor in context of both IDBI & ICICI Bank.
5. Job satisfaction of respondents is high in terms of pay, cohesion in work groups,
coordination among other departments and the like.
6. None of the employees are highly satisfied or highly unsatisfied with the pay scale
offered by the company. This indicates that all the employees are paid on par with the
standards. However, more than half of the respondents are neutral in their opinion.
Job satisfaction is also high as far as the interpersonal relationships in the organization
are concerned.
7. Personal factors have a more dent on the overall job satisfaction of the respondents.
