CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

1.1 ABOUT THE INDUSTRY

The services sector is not only the dominant sector in India's GDP, but has also attracted
significant foreign investment, has contributed significantly to export and has provided large-scale
employment. India's services sector covers a wide variety of activities such as trade, hotel and
restaurants, transport, storage and communication, financing, insurance, real estate, business
services, community, social and personal services, and services associated with construction. The
tertiary sector is the service sector. It includes industries such as the financial services industry,
internet technology (IT), and the healthcare and entertainment industries. Some economists include
a fourth sector – the quaternary sector in which they assign the areas of research, information
technology, education, consulting, and various other elements of what has come to be known as the
“knowledge-based economy”. The knowledge-based economy is focused on utilizing information
and communications (such as social media) to provide goods and services specifically tailored to
the needs and wants of individual customers or clients. An example of the knowledge-based
economy in action is a retailer, such as Amazon or Wal-Mart, sending you tailor-made ads for
goods or services that your previous purchases or searches indicate that you are interested in.

The tri-sector economic theory holds that the three economic sectors, in addition to delineating
different areas of economic endeavor, also reflect how economies develop over time. The most
primitive economies consist primarily of economic activities related to raw materials, agricultural
production, and fishing. As economies grow and develop, the manufacturing and marketing of
finished goods account for the largest portion of economic activity. Service industries are the last
economic sector to experience significant growth and are the hallmark of developed nations and
advanced economies.

The Primacy of the Service Sector:


The fact that the service sector is designated as the tertiary sector should not be in any way taken to
mean that it occupies third place in terms of economic importance. Over the past century, the
service

2
sector has rapidly expanded. By the turn of the 21st century, it had eclipsed the manufacturing and
retail goods sector as the largest sector of the economy in most developed nations. Whereas in the
early part of the 20th century, the United States became the dominant world economy, thanks to its
massive manufacturing industry; by the early part of the 21 st century, its worldwide economic
dominance was based on its massive service sector. In the U.S., between 1919 and 2019, the
service sector grew from accounting for less than 50% of the country’s gross domestic product
(GDP) to generating roughly 85% of the country’s GDP. The explosion of the service sector has
been made possible by the exponential increase in knowledge that has occurred over the past 50 to
70 years, the rapid growth of technology, and the development of instantaneous, worldwide
communication through internet connections and cell phones.

Increased automation, which reduces the number of people required for manufacturing processes,
is also a key element in the shift from a manufacturing-based economy to a service-based
economy. The massive expansion of government services in developed nations is another
significant contributing factor to the increasing predominance of the service sector

your car will provide you with a maintenance schedule for your specific make and model. They can

give some advices to maintain the four wheeler vehicle like changing the oil and oil filter regularly

- The owner's manual for your car will specify exactly how often you should do this, but a good

rule of thumb is to change them every 3,000 to 4,000 miles. If you change the oil and filter

yourself, be sure to dispose of the used oil properly. Check all the fluids - This includes brake,

power steering, transmission, transaxle, and windshield washer and antifreeze fluids. Your owner's

manual will tell you how to check these. Check the air pressure level in your tires at least once a

month - Your owner's manual should specify the ideal air pressure for your particular tire. Make

sure all your lights work - This includes headlights, turn signals, brake lights and taillights. Replace

the windshield wiper blades periodically - If your wiper blades are cracked or torn, or if they begin

to streak, it's time to replace them. Inspect the engine belts -They should not have cracks or missing

segments. Check the air filter - The filter should be clean, not clogged or damaged.

1.3 ABOUT THE PROJECT

Human resources are the competent asset in an organization to achieve maximum results. The role
of a manager is to attract, guide and retain the competent employee to improve organizational
performance. So that his responsibility is to create a supportive environment for the employees in
terms of the nature of the job, career aspirations, remuneration, the best rapport among all levels of
workers, company norms and standards etc. To these aspects an employee feels better satisfaction
in their job and personal life. If an employee feels more satisfaction in their job they also provide
satisfaction to the customers too. In this process of satisfaction to the worker leads to engagement
of work in an effective manner. It has been observed by the researcher that highly engaged worker
creates a value to the organization. The Employee engagement refers to as how effectively an
employee involves and commitment towards the job has stayed in the long run. Job satisfaction is
defined as it’s a positive state of employee feels about their job in terms of benefits provided by the
organization.

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT VS JOB SATISFACTION:


Employee Engagement is a strategic approach in the workplace environment that to be followed by
the organization because it treated the real asset between employees and organization. An “engaged
employee” is treats as the person in the organization who enthusiastically involve in their work to
enhance the reputation of the organization. The success of an organization depends on how
employees are committed working for achieving organizational goals as well individual motives. In
contrast, job satisfaction is the term which is replaced with the term employee engagement. It is
regarded as the extent feeling about in his or her job, salary, benefits, etc. The happiest people in
the organization are commonly known as more satisfied employee. Job Satisfaction is referred as
how an organization creates a positive or negative opinion towards their job environment for
employees.

The perfect job environment satisfies the worker motives, desires or personal beliefs. It means in
which the employees most like their job. The major characteristic of job satisfaction must influence
the manager behavior, culture of organization, worker commitment, promotion of work position
etc. Job satisfaction is the system of gaining appraisal by fulfilling positive emotional state of work.
Employees are the backbone of every organization as they are vital to its spirit and
competitiveness. The higher level of employee engagement in organizations promotes the retention
of talent, promotes customer loyalty, and improvises organizational performance and value of a
stakeholder.
6
Engaged employees deliver a better outcome with a positive attitude towards the organization and
its values, which is important for its growth and development. Therefore communicating to the
employees, making them feel valued and inculcating a strong corporate culture have been
considered vital for the management of every firm and business.

CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Grachev and Rakitsky, (2021) Frederick Taylor’s scientific management indicated that it is
important to scientifically study the motives that influence the human factor. Frederick Taylor’s
scientific method was created to increase productivity through employee engagement: cooperation,
harmony and combined intellectual work.

Gibson et al., (2019) Mary Parker Follett, one of the main contributors to the human relations
movement, implied that an individual achieves greater satisfaction through cooperation. Follett
believed in a “power-with” relationship philosophy in which employees and their leaders alike
share power, such as contributory decision power versus “power over” employees. Employers and
employees should work together for a common purpose. Her introduction of conflict as a tool,
though an understanding that there are three finalities in conflict, a one-sided dominating outcome,
a compromise such that neither side wins and an outcome where both sides win through integration,
is still cited in the literature. Crucial to her human element aspects was her advocacy of group
creativity and positive relationships between management and employees. This also reflects in her
work titled, “The Giving of Orders”, where she proposes that even when considering commands,
the ultimate outcome will reflect how the command is perceived by the employee; thus, each
command should be depersonalized and reflect only what is needed by the group (Damart, 2019).
This view also reflects a core of scientific management calling for a depersonalized form of
commanding where neither employee nor employer has any authority over another and the joint
effort with mutual responsibilities toward the common goal is preferable an integrated effort. Thus,
it appears that Follett blended the scientific approach of an impersonal approach to job analysis (law
of situation), although she did advocate a more egalitarian view. However, “Follett’s ideas on
management are the product of an intellectual trajectory different from that taken by practitioners
such as Fayol or Taylor”. For example, integration goes against Fayol’s principles, which
specifically cite hierarchical powers and a philosophy of unity of command–unchallenged orders
and sheer obedience. Unlike Follett, who notes that the organization is a totality made up of the sum
of its parts, and everyone is part of that totality.

8
Dent and Bozeman (2018) many have criticized Frederick Taylor for his concern about
productivity and not caring about the human element. Taylor’s scientific management was more
than to improve the business efficiency, but it was also about effectively utilizing the resources of
the business including the human resource.

Bijaya Kumar Sundaray (2017) focused on various factors which lead to employee
engagement and what should a company do to make the employees engaged. Proper attention to
engagement strategies will increase organizational effectiveness in terms of higher productivity,
profits, quality, customer satisfaction, employee retention, and increased adaptability.

Wellins and Concelman (2021) suggest that “Employee engagement is the illusive force that
motivates employees to higher levels of performance. This coveted energy is an amalgam of
“commitment, loyalty, productivity, and ownership.” they further added that it includes, “feelings
and attitudes employees have towards their jobs and their organization

Perrin’s Global Workforce Study (2019) uses the definition “employees’ willingness and
ability to help their company succeed, largely by providing discretionary effort on a sustainable
basis.” According to the study, engagement is affected by many factors which involve both
emotional and rational factors relating to work and the overall work experience.

May et al (2019) found that meaningfulness, safety, and availability were significantly related
to engagement? They also found job enrichment and role fit to be positive predictors of
meaningfulness; rewarding co-worker and supportive supervisor relations were positive predictors
of safety, while adherence to co-worker norms and selfconsciousness were negative predictors.
Overall, meaningfulness was found to have the strongest relation to different employee outcomes in
terms of engagement.

Robinson et al. (2019) define employee engagement as “a positive attitude held by the
employee towards the organization and its value. An engaged employee is aware of business
context and works with colleagues to improve performance within the job for the benefit of the
organization.

9
The organization must work to develop and nurture engagement, which requires a two-way
relationship between employer and employee.”

Wren (2020) argued that the Hawthorne studies did not really discover new things, as similar
findings were anticipated in the work of Williams, Mathewson and Taylor. All criticism aside, a
number of researchers in the organizational behavior field claim that many organizational behavior
topics revert to the Hawthorne studies. Elton May believed that “a worker is a person whose
attitudes and effectiveness are conditioned by social demands from both inside and outside the work
plant”

Wren, (2016) Lillian Gilbert’s first contribution was to examine the human element through
the time and motion study. Lillian recognized that workers need to feel included in the decision-
making, have a sense of job security and be interested in their work. Engaging employee was a
call from Lillian Gilbert; the human factor advanced the scientific management and the
misperception of this school and served as a base for other works, such as Mary Parker Follett and
Elton Mayo and others to come.

Tsukamoto, (2018) Contrary to most perceptions of Taylor’s work, he actually stressed a


systemic framework of training workers with the necessary skills to perform their work duties, but
supervisors could and should also create an experience of employee engagement through more
meaningful work and purpose. One of Frederick Taylor’s followers, Lillian Gilbert (first lady of
management), highlighted the importance of the human element in the scientific management
movement.

Thiagarajan B & Renugadevi V (2018), had done the research title on “An empirical
investigation on Employee Engagement Practices in Indian BPO Industries” the objective of this
paper is to introduce engagement programme and factors which related to employee engagement
in BPO industries in India. The author investigated with sample size of 126 respondents of
structured interview basis. In this study, he focuses on the factors like career development,
motivation and performance appraisal to concentrate these factors in the organization must lead to
employee engagement.

10
Sakari Taipale, Kirsikka Selander, Timo Anttila, Jouko Nätti (2019), conducted a research
titled on “Work engagement in eight European countries: The role of job demands, autonomy, and
social support” the major intention of this paper was to determine the new approaches in work
engagement and to develop new theories about job demand, autonomy and social support for the
achievement of cross national knowledge. He found that there is a lacking of cross national
approach to work engagement.

Rehman Muhammad Safdar & Waheed Ajmal (2020), research conducted on “An Empirical
Study of Impact of Job Satisfaction on job Performance in the Public Sector Organizations”. The
aim of this study was to know the relationship of job satisfaction, job retention and job
performance through descriptive correlational study with 568 samples of employees of public
sector organisations. He has explained about the relationship of large effect on job performance
and job satisfaction.

Mamta, Sharma R. Baldev (2020), research title on “Study of Employee Engagement and its
Predictors in an Indian Public Sector Undertaking” This paper explores an assessment of
employee engagement in public sector managers of India. He has identified that organisational
commitment is the factor of employee engagement. In this study he found that three variables
greatly affect employee engagement those are salary, job description and objectivity. The results
of this study revealed that the organisation achieves a moderate effect on employee engagement.

Sharma Baldev R et al (2018), studied the title on “Determinants of Employee Engagement in a


Private Sector Organization: An Exploratory Study” by using the SPSS package for analysis with
a structured questionnaire of 80 items and the study consists of 51 sales executives of a
manufacturing organization located in the National Capital Region. The purpose of the study was
to determine the level of employee engagement with the sample unit of sales executives of a
private sector organization.

Fachrunnisa Olivia et al (2019) conducted research on the Role of Workplace Spirituality and
Employee Engagement to enhance Job Satisfaction and Performance. The aim of the study
explains the role of engagement between superior and subordinate to increase job satisfaction and
performance. He recommended that work place spirituality and employee engagement should
create job satisfaction then it leads to employee performance.

11
Schreurs. et al (2018) conducted research on a study to explore the relation between Pay-Level
Satisfaction and Employee Outcomes: The moderate Effect of Employee-Involvement Climate.
This study analyzed the climate of employee engagement as effect of pay, job satisfaction and
turnover intentions. This study said that with the increase of pay can lead to high job commitment
and job satisfaction.

Henryhand J. Carla (2018) had done the research on a study The Effect of Employee
Recognition and Employee Engagement on Job Satisfaction and Intent to leave in the Public
Sector. This study focused on the impact of job satisfaction towards the effectiveness of employee
engagement and recognition. This study revealed that to retain the employee can possible only
through recognition and commitment of the employee.

Biswas Soumendu & Bhatnagar Jyotsna (2019) studied on the title of on the Mediator Analysis
of Employee Engagement: Role of Perceived Organizational Support, P-O Fit, Organizational
Commitment and Job Satisfaction. This paper explained the role of employee engagement towards
job satisfaction and commitment of organization. This study explores that employee engagement
can give creativity in work environment.

Deepa & Kuppusamy (2018) studied research on the Impact of Performance Appraisal System
on Job Satisfaction, Employee Engagement, Organizational Citizenship Behaviour and
Productivity. This paper is purely conceptual model it explains the relationship of Job Satisfaction,
Organization Culture, Organization Citizenship Behavior, and Employee Engagement and thus
leads to performance. The results said that if performance appraisal uses not only employees but
also organization to increase productivity. Hence employee once satisfied with the job they
involve in the work so that set goals are achieved automatically organization commitment and
citizenship would increase more.

Sobia Ali & Yasir Aftab Farooqi (2019) research done on the Effect of Work Overload on Job
Satisfaction, Effect of Job Satisfaction on Employee Engagement and Employee Performance” the
aim of this paper was to identify the work load and job satisfaction effect and determine the effect
of job satisfaction and employee engagement and performance. This study said that work load is
the influencing factor for the organisation and it affects job satisfaction, employee engagement
and employee performance. He found that peaceful workload and stress are the strategies which
consist of training, job rotation. He also recommended that with the use of advanced technology
can decrease the work load of employee.
12
Koontz, (1961); Novicevic et al., (2021) The development of management thoughts continue with
Elton Mayo’s work and the Hawthorne experiments that are well-known in the field of
management and social research. The Hawthorne experiments/studies exposed that management
must center on interpersonal relations.

Wright, Cropanzano & Meyer (2019) From the perspective of human resources it makes sense
to deal with the employees of their organization to focus on situational or state-like variables and
from the perspective of selection, it makes sense to focus on more trait-like or stable variables.
Researchers recommended that states or moods are more essential than stable traits for
considering absenteeism, job satisfaction, and pro-social behavior. They also suggested that to
increases job satisfaction, organizations would be considerate to manage employee moods. For
selection perspective, it is advisable to select psychologically healthy individuals because they
have the temperament to be engaged, energized, or satisfied i.e. to focus on stable traits.

Schachter, (2020) Taylor’s approach stressed that to accomplish this, adequate feedback was
required so that the employee understood what was expected of him another example is
meaningful workplaces. The American Society for Training and Development, using data from
776 human resource executives, defined employee engagement as employees both mentally and
emotionally invested in their organization’s success which further promotes the creation of
meaningful work environments (Shuck and Wollard, 2009).

3.4 RESEARCH DESIGN

A researcher's research design is the framework for the methods and approaches he or she will use.
Researchers can focus on research methodologies that are appropriate for the selected topic and set
up their studies for success thanks to the design. To choose which model to use for a study, a
researcher needs have a thorough awareness of the many types of research design. The design of
the study, like research itself, can be divided into quantitative and qualitative categories.

Qualitative research uses quantitative computations to find links between acquired data and
observations. Qualitative research methods are used by researchers to determine "why" a specific
theory exists as well as "what" respondents have to say about it. Quantitative research is used in
situations when statistical findings are required to gather practical information. Quantitative
research methodologies are required for any organization's progress.

There are various types of research designs such as descriptive, predictive, prescriptive,
exploratory, observational, experimental, causal, correlation, historical, field research, survey,
sequential and many more. In this type of research, descriptive research design is used as it is about
the mindset of employees on employee engagement and job satisfaction.

Descriptive research design is a type of study that aims to collect data in order to describe a
phenomenon, situation, or population in a systematic way. It mostly assists in answering the what,
when, where, and how questions about the research challenge, rather than the why. Quantitative
data is primarily used, while qualitative data is occasionally employed for descriptive purposes.

15
3.5 SAMPLING DESIGN

3.5.1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUE:


Convenience sampling is defined as a method adopted by researchers where they collect market
research data from a conveniently available pool of respondents. It is the most commonly used
sampling technique as it’s incredibly prompt, uncomplicated, and economical. In many cases,
members are readily approachable to be a part of the sample.

SAMPLING PROCESS:
CONVENIENCE SAMPLING:
There are 150 employee’s even though I get responses from the 130 employee’s so that I’m
selecting convenient population units provides convenience A chunk is the portion of the
population under investigation that is chosen based on convenience rather than probability or
judgments. Out of 150 employees, I had responses from the 130 employee and consider it as
convenience sampling for this project.

3.5.2 SAMPLE UNITS:


There are 130 responses are collected in the organization from the 150 employee’s.

3.6 DATA COLLECTION:


The process of gathering information from all relevant sources in order to identify a solution to the
study challenge is known as data collection. It aids in the evaluation of the problem's outcome.
"Data" is the primary source of data collection methods. Data is divided into two categories:
primary data and secondary data.

PRIMARY DATA:
The primary data was obtained for the first time, and it is unique. A well-structured questionnaire
was developed for the goal of collecting primary data, and data was obtained from the respondents.
The questionnaire consists of demographic profile and five-point Likert scale was used for
measuring the employee engagement and job satisfaction. Observation, interviews, questionnaires,
and interview schedules are some of the methods for gathering primary data.

16
SECONDARY DATA:

Secondary data is information that has already been acquired by someone else but has been made
available for others to use. They were probably previously primary data, but when they are
exploited by a third party, they become secondary. It includes publications such as magazines,
newspapers, books, and journals, as well as data that were either published or unpublished.

TOOLS USED FOR ANALYSIS

The tools that are used for analysis are

Percentage analysis,

Chi - square test,

ANOVA,

T - Test,

Regression,

Correlation.

PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS:

Percentage Analysis is used to construct a contingency table from the frequency distribution and
visualize the data for better understanding. Percentage is a special type of ratio used to compare
two or more data sets and to describe relationships. Percentage can also be used to compare two or
more data sources' difference terms and distributions. It is one of the most often used statistical
instruments. The formula for working out percentages is as follows:
Percentage analysis formula = (Value 1/Value 2) * 100%

17
CHI - SQUARE TEST:

The chi square test is a statistical test used to compare observed results with expected results. This
test helps to better understand and interpret the relationship between two categorical variables. The
formula for the chi – square statistic used in chi – square test is:

Where c – degrees of freedom, O – observed value and E – expected value.

The variables chosen are used to frame hypotheses. Based on the alpha-value that is specified for
analysis, the null hypothesis is either accepted or rejected. The null hypothesis is rejected and the
alternate hypothesis is accepted if the calculated value (p value) of the chi square test is less than
the alpha value, but the null hypothesis is accepted if the calculated value (p value) is equal to or
greater than the alpha value.

ANOVA:

Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is a statistical formula used to compare variances across the means
of different groups. There are two types of ANOVA. They are one way ANOVA and two way
ANOVA. One way or two way refers to the number of independent variables used in the test.
ANOVA is also known as F-statistic. The purpose of ANOVA is to test if there is any significance
between the means of two or more groups. The formula for calculating ANOVA is:
F = MSB / MSW

Where F = F-statistic or ANOVA coefficient, MSB = Mean sum of squares between groups, MSE
= Mean sum of squares within groups.

18
T - TEST:

A t-test is a type of inferential statistic used to determine if there is a significant difference between
the means of two groups, which may be related in certain features. It is mostly used when the data
sets, like the data set recorded as the outcome from flipping a coin 100 times, would follow a
normal distribution and may have unknown variances. A t-test is used as a hypothesis testing tool,
which allows testing of an assumption applicable to a population.

REGRESSSION:

Regression analysis is a set of statistical methods used for estimation of relationships between a
dependent variable and one or more independent variables. It can be utilized to assess the strength
of the relationship between variables. Regression analysis includes several variations such as linear,
multiple linear and non-linear. The most common models are simple linear and multiple linear. The
formula for regression analysis depends on the type of regression analysis that is taken. The linear
regression formula is:

Y = mx + b

Where Y = dependent variable, m = slope of regression equation, x = independentvariable, b =


constant of the equation.
LINEAR REGRESSION:
Linear regression analysis is used to forecast the value of one variable depending on another
variable's value. The variable to be predicted is known as the dependent variable. The independent
variable is the variable used to predict the value of the other variable. This type of analysis
calculates the coefficients of a linear equation using one or more independent variables that best
predict the value of the dependent variable. Linear regression employs a straight line or surface to
minimize the differences between predicted and actual output values.

CORRELATION:

Correlation analysis in research is a statistical method used to measure the strength of the linear
relationship between two variables and compute their association. In simple words, correlation
analysis calculates the level of change in one variable due to the change in the other. A high
correlation points to a strong relationship between the two variables, while a low correlation means
that the variables are weakly related.

19
Researchers use correlationanalysis to analyze quantitative data collected through research methods
like surveys and live polls. They try to identify the relationship, patterns, significant connections,
and trends between two variables or datasets. There is a positive correlation between two variables
when an increase in one variable leads to the increase in the other. On the other hand, a negative
correlation means that when one variable increases, the other decreases and vice-versa. The types of
correlation are positive correlation, negative correlation and weak/zero correlation. Correlation
coefficient is used to find how strong a relationship is between data. They return a value that is
between -1 and +1. The formula for Pearson correlation coefficient is:

Where n = quantity, Σx = Total of first variable value, Σy = Total of second variable value, Σxy =
Sum of Product of first and second value, Σx2 = Sum of the squares of the first value, Σy2 = Sum of
the squares of second value.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

The limitations of the study are,

 The research is limited to 16 weeks.

 There were difficulties in gathering data from lower management people due totheir busy
work schedules.

 Information collected from employees might be biased.

 The research was limited to a single car servicing company.
