Abstract
The purpose of the study was to observe satisfaction level of employees in two automobiles companies. Level of satisfaction can be examined through 5 factors of satisfaction. Employee satisfaction is the terminology used to describe whether employees are happy, contended and fulfilling their desires and needs at work. Many measures support that employee satisfaction is a factor in employee motivation, employee goal achievement and positive employee morale in the work place. Basically Employee satisfaction is a measure of how happy workers are with their job and working environment. In this study various variables responsible for employee satisfaction has been discussed such as Organization development factors, Job security factors, Work task factors, Policies of compensation and benefit factor and opportunities which give satisfaction to employees such as Promotion and career development also has been described. This study also deals the various ways by which one can improve employee satisfaction. It is a known fact that the organizations, which give more attention to the satisfaction of their employees, produce more successful outcomes than others do. In this sense, we have constructed an original model and carried out a research analysis in metalworking manufacturing, which the main subject is about to investigate the employee satisfaction depending on the factors of organizational culture and organizational learning capacity. The aim of the research is to contribute to academic researchers as well as managerial level and human resource department employees of automobiles organizations, in maximizing the employee satisfaction. The population of the study consisted male and female employees who are in production department of AL-Amin and Ahmad automobiles companies. Sample comprising of 100 employees (males and females) from manufacturing industries. Sample is selected by random sampling.

Introduction Employee satisfaction:

Employee satisfaction is how content an individual is with his or her job. Scholars and human resource professionals generally make a distinction between affective employee satisfaction and cognitive employee satisfaction. Affective employee satisfaction is the extent of pleasurable emotional feelings individuals have about their jobs overall, and is different to cognitive employee satisfaction which is the extent of individuals satisfaction with particular facets of their jobs, such as pay, pension arrangements, working hours, and numerous other aspects of their jobs.

Background of the Study:

The Automotive industry has been an active and growing field in Pakistan for a long time, however not as much established to figure in the prominent list of the top automotive industries, having a stable annual production 100-170 thousands only. Despite significant production volumes, transfer of technology and localization of vehicle components remains low, and only a few car models are assembled in the country while customers have a very small variety of vehicles to choose from. The lack of competition in the local auto industry due to the presence of just three assemblers -and only one small car assembler- has resulted in technological stagnation of the industry; small cars produced by Pak Suzuki, the country's largest auto assembler, in the country are globally retired models utilizing obsolete technology and not offering any safety features. Auto Sector remains the second largest payer of indirect taxes after the Petroleum Sector. In Pakistan's context there are 10 cars in 1,000 persons which is one of the lowest in the emerging economies which itself speaks of high potential of growth in the auto sector and more so in the car production. Rising per capita income with changing demographic distribution and an anticipated influx of 30 to 40 million young people in the economically active workforce in the next few years provides a stimulus to the industry to expand and grow (Source AUTOMARK Magazine). (Storey, George, & O, 1995, 2000, 2000). People are an important component of the production factors of an organization. A variety of factors influence their work lives. These factors affect their performance and ultimate productivity. Employee satisfaction is a key factor in productivity. Employees satisfaction levels are reflected in their intrinsic and extrinsic willingness to put their labor at the disposal of their employer. (Daniels & Gower, 2001, 2003) Employee satisfaction is certainly not the only factor that causes people to produce at different rates. In addition to being influenced by the level of satisfaction, performance is affected by a worker's ability as well as a number of situational and environmental factors such as mechanical breakdowns, low quality materials, an inadequate The Islamia University of Bahawalpur (Department of Commerce) Page 10

supply of materials, and availability of stock and market forces. However it is not easy to determine if employees experience employee satisfaction. (Cockburn & Haydn, 2004) Suggest that the main problem might be that employees within companies do not discuss the level of their employee satisfaction, nor do they admit that their jobs might not be satisfying. Hence managers also find it difficult to determine whether employee satisfaction is experienced in the workplace.

History of Employee Satisfaction:

One of the biggest preludes to the study of employee satisfaction was the Hawthorne studies. These studies (19241933), primarily credited to Elton Mayo of the Harvard Business School, sought to find the effects of various conditions 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 employee satisfaction. Scientific management (aka Taylorism) also had a significant impact on the study of employee 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 of assembly 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 employee 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 employee 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 selfactualization. This model served as a good basis from which early researchers could develop employee satisfaction theories. Employee satisfaction can also be seen within the broader context of the range of issues which affect an individual's experience of work, or their quality of working life. Employee satisfaction can be understood in terms of its relationships with other key factors, such as general wellbeing, stress at work, control at work, home-work interface, working conditions, pay, supervision, team etc. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_satisfaction).

Processes in automotive manufacturing:

An automotive manufacturing plant typically has 3 shops wherein different processes take place Bodyshop, Paintshop and assembly line. The Body shop is where the differently stamped metal bits are welded together and a vehicle body shell is the output. From the Body shop, the body shell gets transported to the Paint shop where it is painted the required color. Thereafter it goes to General Assembly, where the rest of the parts are assembled onto the painted body shell and a finished vehicle emerges.

Satisfaction by different factors:

Employee Satisfaction by Pay:
The measurement of Employee Satisfaction related to pay can be done with the help of payment system. Different companies use different type of payment system. The workers of low paid and high paid in developing and under-developed countries to analyze employee satisfaction level and also highlight different determinants of employee satisfaction among the workers that exist in low and higher wages/pay in across the world. Job satisfaction level is less for employees, who receive less amount of pay whereas higher amount receiving employees have high level of satisfaction. Employees should be satisfied with competitive salary packages and they should be satisfied with it when comparing their pay packets with those of the outsiders who are working in the same industry.

Employee Satisfaction by Promotion:

Promotion is a Shifting of employee for a job of higher significance and higher compensation. The upward movement of an employee in the hierarchy of the organization, typically that leads to increase of responsibility and rank and an improved compensation package is a promotion. Another definition of promotion is the reassignment of an employee to a higher-rank of job. Many researchers give their opinion that employee satisfaction is strongly correlated with promotion opportunities and there is a direct and positive association between promotional opportunities and Employee satisfaction.

Employee Satisfaction by Co-Worker:

A good co-worker, team, group have significantly increase the level of satisfaction of employees. This is a natural desire of every human to interact with others. The co-workers with different thinking and mind can decrease the level of satisfaction. The existence of group of related mind employees in companies is an observable factor.

Employee Satisfaction by Supervision:

A good working relationship with your supervisor is essential since, at every stage, you need his or her professional input, constructive criticism, and general understanding. Following these points come under this category: The Islamia University of Bahawalpur (Department of Commerce) Page 12

Employee Satisfaction b/w Two Companies

Relationship with immediate supervisor. Communication between employees and senior management.

Employee Satisfaction by Work:

An employee work also affect on the satisfaction of employees job. Employees are highly motivated with good working conditions as they provide a feeling of safety, comfort and motivation. Employees satisfy from job which is challenging. Their work must be related to their ability and skills. Every employee wants to use their mental creative ability to perform their work.

Organizational Structure of companies in which satisfaction is measured:

The organizational structure of both companies (AL-Amin automobile & Ahmad automobile companies) is almost same. 5 to 8 members made up a team which is handling by a supervisor. Supervisor reported to company manager for all issues related to manufacture of automobiles.

Objective of the study:

Measure Employee satisfaction level in two automobiles manufacturing companies. Recommend possible solutions to improve Employee satisfaction within the companies. These objectives were made with a main assumption in mind that the measured Employee satisfaction levels between the two companies would be different.

Purpose:
The main purpose of the study of the study is to examine the level of satisfaction in two manufacturing companies by interrogating 5 factors of satisfaction in both companies. The 5 factors are Pay, Promotion, Co-Worker, Supervision and Work.

Research Question:
What is the difference in the levels of Employee satisfaction of manufacturing companys employees?

Data Analysis Tool:

The tool which is used to analysis the data is Mann Whitney U test. It is a non-paramatic test of null hypothesis that the two populations are same against an alternate hypothesis. Especially that a particular population tends to have larger values than the other. Mann Whitney U test also called MannWhitneyWilcoxon (MWW), Wilcoxon rank-sum test, or WilcoxonMannWhitney test.

Limitations:
This exploratory study about employees satisfaction has some limitations that however do not liquidate the purpose of the study. Data for the study will collect Rahim Yar Khan and Sadiq Abad. I selected only 2 companies according to our convenience.

Literature View
Manufacturing is the utilization of machines, equipment and labor to manufacture goods for use or sale. The term manufacturing may refer to a range of human operations, from handicraft to high technology, but is most commonly practical to industrial manufacturing, in which inputs are transformed into completed goods on a large scale. Such completed goods may be used for production other, more intricate products, such as aircraft, housekeeping appliances or automobiles, or sold to wholesalers, who sell them to retailers, who then sell them to end customer - the Final consumers" (Spector, 1997) Over years, employee satisfaction has been a key area of research among industrial and organizational psychologists. There are important reasons why companies should be concerned with employee satisfaction, which can be classified according to the focus on the employee or the organization. First, the humanitarian perspective is that people deserve to be treated fairly and with respect. Employee satisfaction is the reflection of a good treatment. It also can be considered as an indicator of emotional well-being or psychological health. Second, the utilitarian perspective is that Employee satisfaction can lead to behavior by an employee that affects organizational functioning. Furthermore, Employee satisfaction can be a reflection of organizational functioning. Differences among organizational units in Employee satisfaction can be diagnostic of potential trouble spots. Each reason is sufficient to justify concern with Employee satisfaction. Combined they explain and justify the attention that is paid to this important variable. Managers in many organizations share the concerns of researches for the Employee satisfaction of employees. (Hughes, 2009) The assessment of Employee satisfaction is a common activity in many organizations where management feels that employee well-being is important. It makes sense that people that are comfortable within their working environment will work far more effectively and will enjoy the working process more than those who are uncomfortable. Therefore you should consider certain aspects of your employees workspace quite carefully. There are several issues that affect the comfort of the working environment. The first issue is noise. If it appears that there might be a problem with the amount of noise within the workplace then special actions should be implemented, such as the measurement of noise levels by a competent person. Noise can be the cause of irreversible hearing damage and also lead to increased levels of stress. It is normally caused by loud machines and it is necessary to check the noise emission levels when buying any new plant or machinery. The remedies are usually quite simple, for example providing the employees with hearing protection, rotating staff who works close to noisy machinery to decrease their exposure times, and clearly marking any high noise areas to warn people of the risk.

(Armstrong, 2006,) The level of Employee satisfaction is affected by intrinsic and extrinsic motivating factors, the quality of supervision, social relationships with the work group and the degree to which individuals succeed or fail in their work. It is believed that the behavior that helps the firm to be successful is most likely to happen when the employees are well motivated and feel committed to the organization, and when the job gives them a high level of satisfaction. The research showed that the key factors affecting Employee satisfaction are career opportunities, job influence, teamwork and job challenge. (Kahn, 1972) Mentioned that job content, supervision, physical work conditions and possibly organization structure are amongst the highly probable causes of satisfaction and dissatisfaction in the workplace. In the automotive industry, jobs are standardized and have a narrow range, as designed according to scientific management principles. (Kreitner, 1999) People are fitted into jobs and are expected to adjust accordingly, which doesnt allow room for self-expression and results in alienation and frustration in the workplace. There is no independence and freedom allowed in doing the job, therefore the employees need for self-esteem is not satisfied, as outlined in Maslows hierarchy of needs theory. (Gardell & Schultz, 1976 & 1986) This diminishes the sense of achievement as the job is limited to a particular repetitive operation, depriving the person of the opportunity to see a job through to its final completion. As a result, the individual experiences a basic frustration that manifests itself in different efforts to achieve adjustment. These could be high dissatisfaction, turnover and absenteeism.

Definition of Employee Satisfaction:

Greenberg and Baron (1999:170) defined job satisfaction as an individuals reaction to their job. This reaction they categorized as cognitive, affective and evaluative. Smith, Kendall and Hulin (1969) defined job satisfaction as the feelings a worker has about his job, with different feelings attached to different aspects of the job.

Factor Affecting Employee Satisfaction: Pay:

Pay does play a significant role in determining of satisfaction. Salaries and wages are instrumental in fulfilling so many needs. Money facilities the obtaining of food, shelter, and clothing and provides the means to enjoy valued leisure interest outside of work. Moreover, pay can serve as symbol of achievement and a source of recognition. Employees often see pay as a reflection of organization. Fringe benefits have not been found to have strong influence on job satisfaction direct wages. The Islamia University of Bahawalpur (Department of Commerce) Page 16

Employee Satisfaction b/w Two Companies

Promotion:
Firstly, promotion indicates an employees worth to the organization which is highly moral boosting. This is particularly true in case of high level jobs. Secondly, employee takes promotion as the ultimate achievement in his career and when it is realized, he feels extremely satisfied Luthans (2002a). Thirdly, promotion involves positive changes e.g. high salary, less supervision, increased status etc which enhances job satisfaction.

Co-Worker:
Robbins (2003) a friendly and cooperative group provides opportunities to the group members to interact with each other. The co-worker will be even a stronger source of satisfaction when members have similar attitudes and values. Smaller team provides greater opportunity for building mutual trust and understanding as compared to larger groups. Thus, team/group size and quality of interpersonal relations within the group play a significant role in workers satisfaction.

Supervision:
Employee centered or consideration supervisors who establish a supportive personal relationship with subordinates and take a personal interest in them. The other dimension of supervisory style influence participation in decision making, employee who participates in decision that affect their job, display a much higher level of satisfaction with supervisor and the overall work situation (Davis & Newstrom 2002).

Work:
Employees prefer interesting and challenging work that provides chances of self-actualization and recognition. Employees that execute their tasks efficiently, they need skills and abilities through training and development, which serve to enable the employer to reach its HR targets, not forgetting that these two are of mutual interest to the employer and the employee.

Measurement of Employee satisfaction:

General attitude of an employee about their job is an employee satisfaction. Employee satisfaction can assessed/measured by questionnaire, meetings and from their behavior. (al, 2001) Offer that various instruments/tools are used to measure the employee satisfaction. Few of these are Rating scale these are questionnaires in which people inform their reactions to their jobs. Example is JDI. Interviews Structured interviews provide a basis for comparison and ensure that important aspects are covered. There are many methods for measuring job satisfaction. By far, the most common method for collecting data regarding job satisfaction is the Likert scale (named after Rensis Likert). Other less common methods of for gauging job The Islamia University of Bahawalpur (Department of Commerce) Page 17

Inferential Statistics Frequencies:

Welman and Kruger (2000) mentioned that in a frequency histogram where all responses are plotted, the mean of a normally distributed frequency histogram will be the average point where the majority of the responses will lie. However, for a skewed frequency histogram, the Mode represents the point with the most frequent responses, while the Median divides the Standard Deviation in half for a skewed distribution. The type of test which we applied for testing hypothesis is Mann Whitney U test. This test is used two find the difference between two variables.

Test For Hypothesis testing:

We use Mann Whitney U test for testing hypothesis. The Mann-Whitney U test is used to compare differences between two independent groups when the dependent variable is either ordinal or continuous, but not normally distributed. For example, you could use the MannWhitney U test to understand whether attitudes towards pay discrimination, where attitudes are measured on an ordinal scale, differ based on gender (i.e., your dependent variable would be "attitudes towards pay discrimination" and your independent variable would be "gender", which has two groups: "male" and "female"). The Mann-Whitney U test is often considered the nonparametric alternative to the independent t-test.

P value in Mann Whitney U test:

You can't interpret a P value until you know the null hypothesis being tested. For the MannWhitney test, the null hypothesis is a bit hard to understand. The null hypothesis is that the distributions of both groups are identical, so that there is a 50% probability that an observation from a value randomly selected from one population exceeds an observation randomly selected from the other population.

Our sample size is not so large so we take the exact significance (1-tailed) = 0.19 which is greater than significance level so that null hypothesis is not rejected. There is no difference in work between both companies.

Employee Satisfaction b/w Two Companies Difference in Employee satisfaction between companies:
The mean of 5 factor of employee satisfaction were calculated from both the companies and results are recorded in the table shown below. Ahmad automobiles employee show higher mean on the questions related to pay, co-worker and supervision. While question related to promotion and work have equal mean. AL-Amin Co. 2.9 2.9 2.9 2.9 2.9 2.9 Companies means per JDI Ahmad Co. 3.0 2.9 3.0 3.0 2.9 3.00

Mean Pay Mean Promotion Mean Co-Worker Mean Supervision Mean work Companies JDI Mean

The responses of both the companies have lie almost on a neutral point on the Likert scale (2.9 to 3.0). In testing whether there is a significant difference in employee satisfaction the means of 5 factors of both companies are tested against set hypothesis. 5% significant level (Ho is rejected if p<0.05) p-value Mean Pay 0.08 Mean Promotion 0.20 Mean Co-Worker 0.20 Mean Supervision 0.27 Mean work 0.19 Companies Mann Whitney test result

Pay:
p= 0.08 therefore the H0 (Hypothesis) is not rejected. There is no significance difference between the means of both companies related to pay.

Promotion:
p= 0.20 therefore the H0 (Hypothesis) is not rejected. There is no significance difference between the means of both companies related to promotion.

Co-Worker:
p= 0.20 therefore the H0 (Hypothesis) is not rejected. There is no significance difference between the means of both companies related to co-worker.

Supervision:
p= 0.27 therefore the H0 (Hypothesis) is not rejected. There is no significance difference between the means of both companies related to supervision.

Work:
p= 0.19 therefore the H0 (Hypothesis) is not rejected. There is no significance difference between the means of both companies related to work. Ho = There was no significant difference between employee satisfaction in both companies. Ha = There was a significant difference between employee satisfaction in both companies. The combined mean of the JDI 5 factors is 0.94 which is greater than significance level. The result shows that there is no difference in satisfaction between both companies.

Conclusion:
This chapter provided the quantitative results of the study into the employee satisfaction of the manufacturing employees of AL-Amin and Ahmad automobile companies. No significant differences are found between the 5 factors of the JDI.

Conclusion & Findings

No significant difference was found between the 5 overall JDI categories between the 2 Auto manufacturing companies, indicating that employees between the 2 companies were more or less equally almost neutral with their jobs. There was, however, no difference between the 2 companies in the promotions and work category. The Ahmad auto company employees were neutral in pay, supervision and co-worker category while the AL-Amin auto company employees scored between neutral and dissatisfied almost equal to neutral. Of the 5 categories of the JDI, the all categories have almost equal mean. No significant difference in employee satisfaction was found between the Companies. Indications are that they will eventually get used to it and report neutral/indifferent feelings on the subject the longer they continue their employment with the company, judging by the results of the 5 categories. The Team members, Team leaders and Coordinators survey results indicated no significant difference between the 5 JDI categories. The three employee ranks surveyed reported more or less the same employee satisfaction. One would have thought that the low income earners would be dissatisfied with their pay and the high earners would be satisfied, however, that was not the case. The results showed that the employees surveyed felt equitably remunerated according to their role in the company. In conclusion, in conducting this research, what seemed the case in the rese archers eyes was investigated and found not to be the case? It once again demonstrates that employee satisfaction is a not-so-tangible concept. What is seen at face value has no semblance to what is the case. What you see is not always what you get. Deeper analysis revealed similarity in employee satisfaction levels of two seemingly different Companies.

Recommendations 1. Develop an attractive employee value proposition.

An employee value proposition means that your company has something attractive to offer that is perceived as valuable to an employee. As an employer, you must understand what makes your organization attractive to potential recruits and current employees.

2. Create a total reward structure that includes more than compensation.

Every company should have all the normal compensation mechanisms common to their type of employees.

3. Give feedback on employee performance on a regular basis.

Most managers and employees are not enamored with the performance appraisal process in their organization. Yet, total rewards packages go far beyond money.

4. Create a culture of engagement.

Employees have become more connected with others in the organization (and the broader supply-and-customer chain) through project-based team work and process management activities.

5. Train managers to be effective.

Exit interviews consistently show that poor and bad management practices greatly contribute to an employees decision to leave a company.
