1 INTRODUC`TION:
Job satisfaction is one of the major interests to the field of organization behavior and the
practice of HRM. It reflects employee’s attitude towards their job and commitment to an
organization job satisfaction refers to one’s feelings or state of mind regarding the nature of their
work. It describes how content an individual is with his or her job. Job satisfaction refers to a
person’s feeling of satisfaction on the job, which acts as a motivation to work. It is not self
satisfaction, happiness or self contentment but satisfaction on the job. Job satisfaction is defined
as the pleasurable emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job as achieving or
facilitating the achievement of one’s job values. Job satisfaction is not the same as motivation. It
is linked to productivity, motivation, absenteeism, waste accident, mental health, physical health
and general life satisfaction, there importance dimensions to job satisfaction.
According to Mc Comic & Tiffin “Job satisfaction is total the sentiment related with a job
conducted. If the worker perceives that his/he values are realized with in job, she/he improvise a
positive attitude towards his/he job and acquires job satisfaction.”

2.1.1COMPANY PROFILE:
The Left-wing story starts with ropeways, a core expertise of LEITWIND parent company HTI.
One of the interesting features of ropeways is the electric direct drive. Its construction has
proven its persuasive, safety and reliability even in difficult conditions. With the application of
this technology in a wind turbine Lei wind’s first wind power system was built.
The company combined the direct drive with a synchronous generator and the first prototype
came out, which was installed in 2003 in Milles, South Tyrol (IT). In subsequent test runs the
concept proved to be successful respect from simplified assembly and maintenance to
operational reliability and profitability.
7
In 2007 LEITWIND started serial production of onshore wind turbines. By now there are plants
on three different continents. Backed by intra-group synergies the company can now offer not
only turbines, but also complete wind farm construction as well as operation, maintenance and
service packages. Producing in Italy, Austria and India, lei wind has installed more than 340
wind turbines.
2.1.2 History:

2.1.5 PRODUCT PROFILE:
Modular Design:
LEITWIND offers its services as a partner due to its ability to adapt products to the customer’s
requirements. LEITWIND proposes the best combinations of generator power and rotor
diameter, tower height, blade lengths and various others options. This manufacturing flexibility
has satisfied the most complex and diverse requirements, while obtaining important global
recognition.
Modular Design:
The patented LEITWIND direct drive is at the heat of the entire system. The direct connection
between the hub and the generator eliminates the gearbox, an essential part of traditional wind
turbines. This concept reduces the number of rotating parts, rotation speed and friction. This
increases reliability and decreases wear and maintenance costs. The reduction of rotating parts
and there for friction leads to greater efficiency, meaning that LEITWIND wind turbines are also
suitable for areas with less wind.
10
Modular Design:
LEITWIND wind turbines are designed around a modular concept. It reduces transport costs
and makes the installation of our wind turbines in difficult-to-access places possible. The
LEITWIND direct drive generator is part of the support structure leading to a very stiff and
robust tower head design, what makes our turbines appropriate also sophisticated environments
like mountainous areas. All electronic parts and the transformer station are integrated in the
tower base, rendering external transformer stations obsolete.
The frame’s innovative construction guarantees safety and ease of access to all parts which may
require maintenance. The modular design permits quick replacement of various parts without
dismantling the entire generator, and without using a crane.
11
Modular Design:
The multi-pole synchronous generator with permanent magnets makes the most out of the wind.
Everything generated by the induction process is turned into energy. The use of permanent
magnets improves energy generation, eliminating the need for electrical excitation of the
generator coils. This gives LEITWIND generators huge advantages, especially in the partial load
range.
The LEITWIND control system manages all operational procedures on the wind turbine.
Based on the real time measurement of various variables like wind speed, wind direction or
rotational speed the control system ensures highest energy yield and reliability under.

3.1 INTRODUCTION OF JOB SATISFACTION:
Siegal and Lance (1987) stated that ‘job satisfaction is an emotional response defining the degree
to which people like their job. Work is a central part of almost everyone’s life. Adults devote
almost all of their waking time to work as career development makes up almost 70% of all
human developmental tasks. Hence it is important that the employees feel a sense of satisfaction
with their job or else it might lead to frustration, anger and in some cases even depression.
Perceived satisfaction on the job is reflected by the needs of sense of fulfilment and expectation
for the job to be interesting, challenging and personally satisfying. Job satisfaction is also an
achievement indicator in career developmental tasks. There are numerous studies on job
satisfaction, and the results are often valued for both humanistic and financial benefits. When
employees are satisfied, they tend to care more about the quality of their work, they are more
committed to the organization, they have higher retention rates, and they are generally more
productive. The present times are very competitive and hence there is a lot of pressure for each
organization to be the best for this reason, organizations now demand for the better job
outcomes. In fact, modern times have been called as the “age of anxiety and stress. This pressure
to perform at their best at all times creates a lot of stress to the employees, known as job stress.
Job stress can reduce productivity, increase mistakes and accidents at work, encourage
absenteeism, lower morale, increase conflict with others and cause physical and emotional
problems. High levels of work stress are associated with low levels of job satisfaction. A low
level of job satisfaction ultimately leads to poor life satisfaction.
14
circumstances that cause and person truthfully to say I am satisfied with my job. Job satisfaction
is defined as the, “pleasurable emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job as
achieving or facilitating the achievement of one’s job values.” In contrast job dissatisfaction is
defined as “the un pleasurable emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job as
frustrating or blocking the attainment of one’s job values or as entailing disvalues. However,
both satisfaction and dissatisfaction were seen as, “a function of the perceived relationship
between what one perceives it as offering or entailing.
Vroom (1982) defined job satisfaction as workers’ emotional orientation toward their current job
roles. Similarly, Schultz (1982) stated that job satisfaction is essentially the psychological
disposition of people toward their work.
Finally, Lofquist and Davis (1991), defined job satisfaction as “an individual’s positive affective
reaction of the target environment as a result of the individual’s appraisal of the extent to which
his or her needs are fulfilled by the environment”.
The definition of job satisfaction has visibly evolved through the decades, but most versions
share the belief that job satisfaction is a work-related positive affective reaction.
There seems to be less consistency when talking about the causes of job satisfaction. Wexley and
Yukl (1984) stated that job satisfaction is influenced by many factors, including personal traits
15
and characteristics of the job. To better understand these employee and job characteristics and
their relationship to job satisfaction, various theories have emerged.
Early traditional theories suggested that a single bipolar continuum, with satisfaction on one end
and dissatisfaction on the other, could be used to conceptualize job satisfaction. Later revisions
of the theory included a two-continuum model that placed job satisfaction on the first scale, and
job dissatisfaction on the second.
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 job
satisfaction.
Scientific management (as known as Taylorism) also had a significant impact on the study of
job satisfaction. Frederick Winslow Taylor’s 1911 book, Principles of Scientific Management,
argued that there was a single best way to perform any given work task. It contributed to a
change in industrial production philosophies, causing a shift from skilled labor 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 forced to work at a faster pace. However, workers became exhausted and
dissatisfied, thus leaving researchers with new questions to answer regarding job satisfaction. It
should also be noted that the work of W.L. Bryan, Walter Dill Scott and Hugo Munsterberg set
the tone for Taylor’s work.
Some argue that Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, a motivation theory, laid the foundation for
job satisfaction theory. This theory explains that people seek to satisfy five specific needs in life-
16
physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, self-esteem needs and self-actualization. This
model served as a good basis from which early researchers could develop job satisfaction
theories.
Job 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. Job satisfaction can be
understood in terms of its relationships with other key factors, such as general well- being, stress
at work, control at work, home-work interface and working conditions.
17
3.6 PRODUCTIVITY– RELATIONSHIP OF JOB SATISFACTION:
For a number of years both social scientists and managers believed that high job satisfaction led
to high performance. Not only did this belief fit into the value system of the human relations
movement but there also appeared to be some research data to support this point. In the Western
Electric studies, the evidence from the Relay Assembly Test Room showed a dynamitic tendency
for increased employee productivity to be associated with an increase in job satisfaction. But
many later studies have now established that the above belief is not correct. According to Victor
Vroom, job satisfaction rather than causing performance is caused by it. He points out that good
performance leads to various kinds of intrinsic and extrinsic rewards which in turn lead to
satisfaction. As shown in the above figure performance may lead to two types of rewards
intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic rewards are subject to fewer disturbing influences and thus are
likely to be more directly related to good performance. This connection is indicated in the figure
by a semi-wavy line. Extrinsic rewards are subject to a number of disturbing influences and thus
are imperfectly related to good performance. This is indicated in the figure by a wavy line. The
rewards do not directly lead to satisfaction but moderated by the individual’s perception of what
he considers to be a fair level reward. Job satisfaction is closely affected by the amount of
rewards an individual derives from his job as well as what he, considers to be a fair level of
rewards. Job performance is closely affected by the basis of attainment of rewards. Job
satisfaction describes how content an individual is with his or her job. The happier people are
within their job, the more satisfied they are said to be. Job satisfaction is not the same as
motivation, although it is clearly linked. Job design aims to enhance job satisfaction and
performance methods include job rotation, job enlargement and job enrichment. Other influences
on satisfaction include the management style and culture, employee involvement, empowerment
and autonomous work groups. Job satisfaction is a very important attribute which is frequently
measured by organizations. The most common way of measurement is the use of rating scales
where employees report their reactions to their jobs. Questions relate to rate of pay, work
responsibilities, variety of tasks, promotional opportunities the work itself and co-workers. Some
questioners ask yes or no questions while others ask to rate satisfaction on 1 -5 scale (where 1
represents “not at all satisfied” and 5 represents “extremely satisfied
18
3.7 THEORIES OF JOB SATISFACTION:
There are numerous theories attempting to explain job satisfaction, but three conceptual
frameworks seem to be more prominent. The first is content theory, which suggests that job
satisfaction occurs when one’s need for growth and self-actualization are met by the individual’s
job. The second conceptual framework is often referred to as process theory, which attempts to
explain job satisfaction by looking at how well the job meets one’s expectations and values. The
third conceptual group includes situational theories, which proposes that job satisfaction is a
product of how well an individual’s personal characteristics interact or mesh with the
organizational characteristics.
1. Content Theories:
The earliest content theory was Abraham Maslow’s “hierarchy of needs”. Maslow’s (1954)
traditionalist views of job satisfaction were based on his five-tier model of human needs. At the
lowest tier, basic life sustaining needs such as water, food, and shelter were identified. The next
level consisted of physical and financial security, while the third tier included needs of social
acceptance, belonging, and love.
The fourth tier incorporated self-esteem needs and recognition by one’s peers and at the top of
the pyramid was reserved for self-actualization needs such as personal autonomy and self-
direction. According to Maslow, the needs of an individual exist in a logical order and that the
basic lower level needs must be satisfied before those at higher levels. Then, once the basic
needs are fulfilled, they no longer serve as motivators for the individual.
The more a job allows for growth and acquisition of higher level needs, the more likely the
individual is to report satisfaction with his or her job. Furthermore, the success of motivating
people depends on recognizing the needs that are unsatisfied and helping the individual to meet
those needs.
Building on the theories of Maslow, Frederick Hertzberg (1974) suggested that the work itself
could serve as a principal source of job satisfaction. His approach led to the two- continuum
model of job satisfaction where job satisfaction was placed on one continuum and job
dissatisfaction was placed on a second. Hertzberg’s theory recognized that work characteristics
generated by dissatisfaction were quite different from those created by satisfaction.
19
He identified the factors that contribute to each dimension as “motivators” and “hygiene”. The
motivators are intrinsic factors that influence satisfaction based on fulfilment of higher level
needs such as achievement, recognition, and opportunity for growth. The hygiene factors are
extrinsic variables that such as work conditions, pay, and interpersonal relationships that must be
met to prevent dissatisfaction. When hygiene factors are poor, work will be dissatisfying.
However, simply removing the poor hygiene does not equate to satisfaction. Similarly, when
people are satisfied with their job, motivators are present, but removing the motivators does not
automatically lead to dissatisfaction. Essentially, job satisfaction depends on the extrinsic
characteristics of the job, in relation to the job’s ability to fulfil ones higher level needs of self-
actualization. Hence the two continuum model of Hertzberg’s Motivator - Hygiene theory.
2. Process Theories:
Process theories attempt to explain job satisfaction by looking at expectancies and values. This
theory of job satisfaction suggests that workers’ select their behaviours in order to meet their
needs. Within this framework, Adams’ (1963) and Vroom (1982) have become the most
prominent theorists. J. Stacy Adams’ suggested that people perceive their job as a series of
inputs and outcomes.
Inputs are factors such as experience, ability, and effort, while outcomes include things like
salary, recognition, and opportunity. The theory is based on the premise that job satisfaction is a
direct result of individuals’ perceptions of how fairly they are treated in comparison to others.
This “equity theory” proposes that people seek social equity in the rewards they expect for
performance. In other words, people feel satisfied at work when the input or contribution to a job
and the resulting outcome are commensurate to that of their co-workers.
According to Milkovich and Newman (1990), this social equity is not limited to others within
the same workplace, and the equity comparisons often reach into other organizations that are
viewed as similar places of employment.
Vroom’s (1964) theory of job satisfaction was similar in that it looked at the interaction between
personal and workplace variables; however, he also incorporated the element of workers’
expectations into his theory. The essence of this theory is that if workers put forth more effort
20
and perform better at work, then they will be compensated accordingly. Discrepancies that occur
between expected compensation and actual outcome lead to dissatisfaction.
If employees receive less than they expect or otherwise feel as if they have been treated unfairly,
then dissatisfaction may occur. Conversely, overcompensation may also lead to dissatisfaction
and the employee may experience feelings of guilt. The compensation does not have to be
monetary, but pay is typically the most visible and most easily modified element of outcome.
Salary also has significance beyond monetary value and the potential to acquire material items,
and Gruenberg (1979) notes that it is also an indication of personal achievement, organizational
status, and recognition.
Vroom’s theory also goes one step further to incorporate an individual’s personal decision
making within the work-place. Vroom (1982) explained that employees would choose to do or
not do job tasks based on their perceived ability to carry out the task and earn fair compensation.
To illustrate and clarify his ideas, Vroom generated a three- variable equation for scientifically
determining job satisfaction.
Expectancy is the first variable, and this is the individual’s perception of how well he or she can
carry out the given task. Instrumentality is the second variable of the equation, and this refers to
the individual’s confidence that he or she will be compensated fairly for performing the task.
Valence is the third variable, which considers the value of the expected reward to the employee.
In Vroom’s formula each variable is given a probability value, and when all three factors are
high, workers will be more satisfied and have more motivation. If any of the factors are low,
work performance and employee motivation will decline.
3. Situational Theories
The situational occurrences theory emerged in 1992, when Quarstein, McAfee, and Glassman
stated that job satisfaction is determined by two factors: situational characteristics and situational
occurrences. Situational characteristics are things such as pay, supervision, working conditions,
promotional opportunities, and company policies that typically are considered by the employee
before accepting the job.
The situational occurrences are things that occur after taking a job that may be tangible or
intangible, positive or negative. Positive occurrences might include extra vacation time, while
21
negative occurrences might entail faulty equipment or strained co-worker relationships. Within
this theoretical framework, job satisfaction is a product of both situational factors and situational
occurrence.
The main objective of improving employee satisfaction is to have great workers who stay
long-term, reducing turnover and ultimately helping your business to grow.
1) Boost Productivity
The most satisfied employees will have a sense of personal investment in the business
they work for. They’ll be motivated by more than just a paycheck, which means they
will always be striving for the best possible results.
They’re invested in your business because you have invested in them.
They are also less likely to need time off due to stress or to call in sick because they’re
just plain miserable at work.
All this means better outcomes – and, most likely, profits – for you.
Years of research have shown that that happy employees can improve sales
productivity by 37 percent, productivity by 31 percent and accuracy by 19 percent.
2) Reduce Turnover
Advertising for, interviewing and sorting out all the paperwork for new employees is
both expensive and time-consuming.
.Not to mention the training involved to get new workers up to speed, and the risk that
the new hire might not work out. So anything that keeps employees from seeking out
other jobs is a plus.
In the worst cases of employee dissatisfaction, there’s a high risk that miserable
employees could be moaning to friends and anyone who’ll listen outside of work.
22
And that could create an impression, rightly or wrongly, that your company isn’t a great
place to work.
Even one disgruntled worker could be enough to damage your brand. On the flipside,
staff who have only nice things to say about the place they work will effectively
become brand ambassadors for your business.
Let’s face it – no one wants to be around colleagues or staff who mumble and grumble around
the water cooler all day long. Smiley, happy people are just much more pleasant to be around.
And a negative attitude can quickly spread, potentially creating a toxic environment in the
workplace. Those who feel happy and motivated in their work will be more likely to gel well
with colleagues and, therefore, work better as a team – without office politics and complaints
about who took the last of the coffee getting in the way.
My client, Megan, was facing a major customer challenge at her company. She and her
department heads held a meeting to strategize how to address it.
Once they had finished outlining an ambitious plan, her colleague exhaled, “We need to
be careful about how we communicate this to our teams. We’re asking them to do a lot of
extra work.
Everyone is going to be unhappy about that.” The company’s engagement scores had
taken a hit earlier that year, and her colleague feared this change would only make things
worse.
Though Megan kept her cool during the meeting, she vented to me shortly after. “I’m
trying to help weather a crisis here,” she said, “and he wants me to worry about people
being happy?”Megan’s question brings up a dilemma that is common for most
executives.
Senior employees often have the power to make decisions that will significantly impact
the collective work experience of the people below them, but at the same time, they are
removed from those people. This is largely because, as employees rise within their
23
organization, their responsibilities shift from considering how their team feels to shaping
organizational ethos.
Doing what is right for their company and doing what will make their employees
happiest are not always mutually exclusive. This paradox can make seemingly obvious
choices difficult to make. People at the top often get exaggerated, anecdotal opinions
about how people at the bottom are feeling about any given issue.
“Everyone is going to be unhappy” for example, is likely not true. Further complicating
the issue employee engagement surveys aggregate feedback into large clusters, making it
challenging for executives to weigh accurate data into their decisions.
Many senior leaders, as a consequence, have a fear of being viewed as cold or uncaring.
When this fear takes over, they can become over-sensitive and start to personalize the
unhappiness of others.
To move past this fear and become better leaders, people in positions of power need to
find a balance between making decisions that serve the greater good of their
organizations while still remaining appropriately concerned about the emotional
wellbeing of those below them. In my experience consulting with executives on how to
find this balance, I’ve found that making the following shifts in mindset are particularly
important.
From individual happiness to collective purpose. Many senior leaders take it personally when
they learn people in their organization are unhappy. They forget that supervisors and middle
managers have more direct influence over the factors that impact employee satisfaction and are
best equipped to address it. As leaders move up and become further removed from these
responsibilities, using their power to foster a deeper sense of purpose throughout their division or
department is the greatest contribution they can make. Plenty of research shows that when people
are able to connect the purpose of their organization to their purpose as individuals, they are
happier and more engaged at work. Senior leaders are in a unique position to help them do this.
Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella, serves as an example. He and his leadership team held an
intimate discussion in which they each spoke about what they want to achieve through their
work. The goal of the conversation was to help them figure out how the Microsoft platform
24
could help them realize their senses of purpose. The company’s Chief People Officer, Kathleen
Hogan, told me:
“The ability to connect our own purpose to the mission sustains us. When you can zoom out and
see how we are making a difference, that’s energizing in the face of the day-to-day challenges.
While strategy will evolve, your culture and sense of purpose should be long-lasting. Culture
paired with a purpose-driven mission allows your employees to use your company platform to
realize their own aspirations and passions.”
From engagement to ownership Many companies have resorted to things like free lunches,
onsite fitness and daycare centers, or meditation rooms to express care for their employees.
While some of these benefits certainly improve the employee experience, they do little to up
employee engagement, and therefore, happiness.
Rather than relying on perks, senior leaders should prioritize creating inclusive work
environments in which everyone is given a chance to contribute to their fullest potential.
Ensuring that governance systems allow employees to solve the problems they directly touch is
the first step. When people are able to participate in making decisions that directly impact their
work, their sense of ownership, and therefore, engagement increases.
Take the example of one organization I worked with. A company-wide assessment revealed that
the majority of their employees felt ambivalent, disempowered, and cynical about their work.
The senior leader I was consulting proposed a solution. She wanted to schedule a series of town
hall meetings and luncheons to re-energize her people. However, I warned her this plan would
fail. Her employees didn’t need to hear a motivational speech. They needed her leadership team
to align on major initiatives and deliver consistent messages. In order to accomplish this, she had
to stop micromanaging and give more ownership to the people below her.
Instead of resorting to her initial quick-fix solution, she did what only senior leaders have the
power to do she reshaped the organization to improve the experiences, and performance, of her
people. She developed “live hack sessions” facilitated by middle managers in which workers
could discuss real issues and brainstorm ways to resolve them. Next, she overhauled governance
systems. Decision-making processes were pushed lower in the organization and supervisors were
25
provided with the resources they needed to carry out solutions. Finally, she initiated customer
panel groups that allowed employees to hear about the successes and failures within their
specific markets. This helped dramatically restore a sense of pride and personal ownership
throughout her division.
From promote ability to visibility. A dead-end job, or feeling like you are in one, is a
significant source of employee unhappiness. When people sense that their career has stalled, they
often assume senior leadership has the power to fix it. In fact, the mere opportunity to express
their concerns to a senior leader can result in an unrealistic expectation that things will change.
Solutions like skip-level meetings where senior leaders meet with employees many levels below
them tend to exaggerate the problem. Executives often hear about frustrations that they are
unable to fix without disempowering or sidestepping the leaders between them and the
employees with whom they are talking.
This is not to say that meeting employees where they are at is not valuable. Efforts like skip-level
meeting and visits to manufacturing plants can lead to important mentorships and learning
opportunities for junior workers. But when it comes to career development issues, senior leaders
often cannot realistically address them.
They are, however, in a unique position to create visibility for those employees who might not
otherwise get noticed. That’s why leaders should focus instead on giving individual contributors
a chance to showcase their accomplishments to the people above them. One powerful solution is
to invite lower level talent into higher level meetings. This is a great way for executives at the
top to meet and enjoy the perspectives and contributions of people they would never know
otherwise.
One CEO I’ve worked has done just this. He has a standing talent showcase on his executive
team agenda. Each month, two members of his team invite someone from their respective
departments to an informal conversation with the senior team during which they talk about the
projects they are most proud of, as well as their day-to-day challenges. The junior employees
leave feeling highly regarded by the company’s top leaders. The ritual began after the company’s
annual talent review process a few years ago, when the CEO said, “If we’re going to talk about
26
these people, we should extend the courtesy of meeting them to learn about their work, so they
can hear first-hand why they matter to us.”
Leaders naturally want to see those in their organization happy and thriving. As you rise higher,
how you’re able to act on that desire must shift. While you can attend to the needs of your direct
reports, you must leave the individual experiences of everyone else to them. Instead, learn to
enjoy the unique opportunity you have to shape the collective wellbeing of your organization
through fostering purpose, deepening ownership, and enhancing visibility.
However I shall try best in collection the relevant information for my research report, yet there
are always some problems faced by the research. The prime difficulties which I face in collection
of information are discussed below.
Time is the real factor the affects the study the times durations of eight week for the
project work is very short span of time to conduct effective study.
Most the department id remaining untouched to this exercise. Hence it does not bring the
complete picture of organization’s competence level.
Employee needs expectation and behaviors vary from one person to another person.
During survey some employee show keen interest in the topic and give their views and on
other hand, some employee does not interest and help wholeheartedly in my survey.
Scarcity of needful printed document on the topic.
All the employee and officers were found very busy in their working hours.
Many a time my guide and other executive were not available in their seats because they
were busy in their allied work so as researcher I have to visit many to meet them and
discuss on my topic.
The questionnaire is objective type could have provided opportunity for ideas and
suggestion.
The sample was selected from the employee those were in the post of engineer and
assistant manager only so other executive are not included in this study.

3.11 ADVANTEGES OF JOB SATISFACTION:
Your keep tow valued employees who might otherwise quit to pursue work family
balance issues.
You gain two brains, two sets of enthusiasm and creativity, and two employees
committed to your success.
Employees who are comfortable balancing life responsibilities experience less stress and
more work satisfaction. This pays you back in increased motivation, positive customer
service, and effective coworker relationship.
Successful job share partners are accountable to each other.
This increases their accountability for accomplishments to the employer.
They must plan, set goals, communicate effectively, measure
Accomplishment, and share the glory for successes comfortably.
Coverage for ill children and other family matters is easier when the job share partner is
available to fill in. Job share partners also provide coverage for each other for scheduled
vacations.
You are dealing with two employees in a job share. If the employees are not compatible,
fail to share a work style, keep co-workers and customers uniformed and uncomfortable
with two approaches, you are ultimately responsible for dealing with the job share
partners
You may be asked to pay for a cross-over day, which increases your employment cost but
ensures another level of success for a job share.
Your cost of benefits may rise if you decide to provide each job share partner with full
benefits.

3.13 COMPONENTS OF JOB SATISFACTION:
According to Abraham A. korhan, there are two types of variables that determine the job
satisfaction of an individual. The individual variables are occupational level, job content,
considerate leadership, pay, promotional opportunities. Interaction and work group. The personal
variables are age, education level, sex and family size and services with the company. The
following are some of the job factor that is taken into consideration in developing job satisfaction
job satisfaction scales.
When the level of the job is higher then satisfaction of an individual is greater because higher
level jobs carry greater prestige and self-control.This relate his between occupational level and
job satisfaction stems from social reference people in non-valued jobs. According to need
fulfillment theory, people in higher level jobs find most of their needs satisfied than when they
are in lower level jobs.
Some people, irrespective of their organizational conditions involved, feel dissatisfied with most of the
