PREFACE
No professional curriculum is considered complete without work experience. Every
individual who is doing management studies has to undergo this phase of practical
study before he/she can consider himself/herself fully qualified as potential manager.
As a part of MBA curriculum a summer training project has to be undertaken after the
Second semester. In line of that I have completed my training project in Bhartia
This report has been divided in different parts. Starting with the general information
and formalities the report proceeds towards the information regarding Bhartia
Cutler Hammer (BCH) Electric Ltd, then towards the main part of the work
project.
INTRODUCTION
Following are the main objectives of my training report, made on the topic Employee
Satisfaction:
Strengthening supervision
Evaluating customer-service issues
Healthy / conducive work environment
It has a great scope in every organization because it depicts true indication of the
internal working environment prevailing inside the company.
Employee satisfaction survey will find out what engages the
people within an organization, understand their perceptions, especially those that are
driving the work behaviors that in turn drive business outcomes. This information will
allow reinforcing employee behaviors. Satisfied employees would seem more likely to
talk positively about the organization, help others, and go beyond the normal
expectations in their job. Moreover, satisfied employees might be more prone to go
beyond the call of duty because they want to reciprocate their positive experiences.
Satisfaction & Productivity: Productivity leads to satisfaction rather than other way
round. If one does a good job then he or she feels good about it.
Satisfaction & Turnover: Satisfaction is also negatively related to turnover. More is the
level of satisfaction more will be the turnover & vice versa.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Meaning of Research
Research in common parlance refers to search for knowledge. Once can
also define research as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent
information on a specific topic. In fact, research is an art of scientific
investigation.
Types of research

RESEARCH DESIGN
DESIGN:
Descriptive research studies are those studies which are concerned with
described the characteristics of particular individual.
In descriptive as well as in diagnostic studies, the researcher must be able
to define clearly, what he wants to measure and must find adequate
methods for measuring it along with a clear cut definition of population he
want to study. Since the aim is to obtain complete and accurate information
in the said studies, the procedure to be used must be carefully planned. The
research design must make enough provision for protection against bias
and must maximize reliability, with due concern for the economical.
SAMPLING PLAN
It involves decisions regarding:
1.Sampling Unit- (who are to be surveyed?) the sampling unit for this
project consists Managers, Supervisors, &Workers of the company. Primary
information has been collected from people who regularly use electronic
equipment.
2.Sample Size- (how many should be surveyed?) It includes the number
of sampling unit selected from the population for investigation. The
sample size must be optimum or adequate. If the sample size is small it
may not appropriately represent the population.
Too large sample would be costly in terms of money &time. The optimum
sampling size would fulfill the requirements of efficiency, representative
ness, reliability, and flexibility. The sample size is taken of 100 employees.
It is because of the shortage of time & their busy schedule.
3.Sampling Procedure- The sampling procedure consists of:
Probability or random sampling- It is one in which each and
every unit of the population has an equal chance of being selected
into the sample.
Non-probability or non-random sampling- In this the chance of
including an elementary unit of population in the sample cannot be
determined and hence they do not lend themselves to a statistical
treatment and analysis.
SOURCES OF DATA
PRIMARY
SECONDARY
PRIMARY DATA:I decided primary data collection method because our study nature does
not permit to apply observational method. Primary data can be collected
through questionnaire.
In survey approach we had selected a questionnaire method for taking a
customer view because it is feasible from the point of view of our subject &
survey purpose. We conducted 50 sample of survey in our project to judge the
satisfaction level of customers which took home loans.
Advantages
Better understanding .
Good conclusion.
More reliable.
feasible data.
Disadvantages
It is time consuming
SECONDARY DATA:-
Secondary data means data that are already available i.e. they refer the data which have
already been collected and analyzed by someone else. When the researcher utilizes
secondary data, than he has to look into various sources from where he can obtain them, in
this case he is certainly not confronted with the problems that are usually associated with
the collection of original data. Secondary data may either be published data or unpublished
data. It was collected from internal sources. I used the various types of secondary data in my
study:
Organizational file,
Official records,
News papers,
Magazines
Management books,
Advantages
Easy to collect.
Disadvantages
Lack of availability
CHAPTER-2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
The single global rating method is nothing more than asking individuals to respond to
one question such as All things considered, how satisfied are you with your job?
The respondents then reply by circling a number between one and five that corresponds
to the answer from Highly satisfied to Highly dissatisfied.
The summation score method is more sophisticated. It identifies key elements in a job
and asks for the employees feelings about each. Typical factors that would be included
are the nature of the work, supervision, present pay, promotion opportunities, and
relations with co-workers. These factors are rated on a standardized scale and then
added up to create an overall job satisfaction score.
Comparison of one-question global ratings with the more lengthy summation of job
factors method indicates that the former is essentially valid as the later. The best
explanation for this outcome is that the concept of employee
2. STRESS
When negative stress is continuously high, job satisfaction is low. Jobs are more
stressful if they interfere with employees personal lives on are a continuing source of
worry for concern.
Actions:
Promote balance of work and personal lives.
Make sure that senior managers model this behavior.
Distribute work evenly within work teams.
Review work procedures to remove unnecessary "red tape" or bureaucracy.
Manage the number of interruptions employees have to endure while doing their
jobs.
3. LEADERSHIP
Employees are more satisfied when their managers are good leaders. This includes
motivating employees to do a good job, striving for excellence or just taking action.
Actions:
Make sure your managers are well trained. Leadership combines attitudes and
behavior. It can be learned.
People respond to managers that they can trust and who inspire them to achieve
meaningful goals.
4. WORK STANDARDS
Employees are more satisfied when their entire workgroups takes pride in the quality of
its work.
Actions:
Encourage communication between employees and customers. Quality gains
importance when employees see its impact on customers.
Develop meaningful measures of Quality. Celebrate achievements in quality.
5. FAIR REWARDS
Employees are more satisfied when they feel they are rewarded for the work they do.
Consider employees responsibilities, the effort they have put forth, the work they have
done well and the demands of their jobs.
Actions:
Be consistent in your reward policies.
If your wages are competitive, make sure employees know this.
Rewards can includes a variety of benefits and perks other than Make sure
rewards are for genuine contributions to the organization.
6. ADEQUATE AUTHORITY
Employees are more satisfied when they have adequate authority to do their jobs.
Actions:
Let employees make decisions.
Allow employees to have input on decision that will affect them.
Establish work goals but let employees determine how they will achieve those
goals. Later reviews may identify innovative "best practices.
Ask, if there were just one or two decisions that you could make the biggest
difference in your job?"
CENTRALIZATION/DECENTRALIZATION
The amount to which each organization is centralized or
decentralized has a major impact on how the employees perceive the organization. One
of the benefits are that it allows for the people who are closest to the problem. This in
turn allows problems and decisions to be made in a timely manner. Employees that are
closest to the problem have the greater knowledge as to what the decision's factors are,
often creating good decisions. Another benefit of a more decentralized organization is
that because employees have more decision-making authority, they are more motivated
by their jobs. The motivation comes from the chance to be their own manager when
hierarchy of authority.
DIVISION OF LABOUR
It has significant impact on employee satisfaction.
responsibility with regards to making decisions involving customers. This gives them a
sense of importance within the organization. Servers at organization are able to
approach the tables in their own style and are free to offer coupons and other check
adjustments without the permission of manager. They are able to determine when other
employees can finish their shift.
A review of the evidence has identified our factors conductive to high levels of
employees job satisfaction, mentally challenging work, equitable rewards colleagues.
Importantly each of these factors is controllable by managing.
EQUITABLE REWARDS
Employees want pay systems and promotion policies that they perceive as being just,
unambiguous, and in line with their expectations. When pay is seen, as fair based on job
demands, individual skill level, and community pay standards, satisfaction is likely to
result. Similarly, employees seek fair promotion and practices. Promotion provides
opportunity for personal growth, more responsibilities, and increased social status.
Individuals who perceive that promotion decisions are made in fair and just manner,
therefore, are likely to experience satisfaction from their jobs.
Employees are concerned with their work environment for both personal comfort and
facilitating doing a good job. Studies demonstrate take employees prefer physical
surroundings that are not dangerous or uncomfortable. In addition, most employees
prefer working relative close to home, in clean and relatively modern facilities, and with
adequate tools and equipment.
SUPPORTIVE COLLEAGUES
People get more out of work than merely money or tangible achievements. For most
employees, work also fills the need for social interaction. Not surprisingly, therefore,
having friendly and supportive co-workers leads to increased job satisfaction. The
behaviour of ones boss is also a major determinant of satisfaction. Studies generally
find that employee satisfaction is increased when the immediate supervisor understands
and friendly, offer praise for good performance, listen to employees opinions, and
shows a personal interests in them.
DRIVERS OF SATISFACTION
Satisfaction Drivers: Requirements with very high scores for both stated and derived
importance. These are the strongest drivers of satisfaction and should feature very
strongly in employers plans for improving co- worker satisfaction.
Hygiene Factors: Items with stated importance but low derived importance. Strong
performance by the employer in these areas will often be taken for granted, and while
performance beyond acceptable minimum standards will not necessarily result in an
increase in co-worker satisfaction, poor performance will have a strong adverse effect
on co-worker satisfaction.
Hidden Opportunities: Factors with low stated importance, but high-derived
importance, such as being treated equally. While co- workers do not rate these factors
high in importance, performance in these areas will have a strong impact on overall
satisfaction; a good co-worker experience will have a strong positive effect on overall
satisfaction, while a bad one will have a lasting negative effect.
Marginals: Requirements with both stated and low derived importance. Such
requirements cannot be dismissed as unimportant, since all of the requirements
included on the questionnaire were rated as important by co-workers during
exploratory phase of the research..
stay than superior performers. Regardless of level of satisfaction the latter is more likely
to remain with the organization because the receipt of recognition, praise, and other
rewards gives them more reasons for staying.
BENEFITS OF SURVEY
Positive survey will let employees know their employer cares about their well being as
individuals, provides a healthy & productive place to work and is committed to further
improvements in employee satisfaction. Other benefits come in the form of interactions
leading to openness and trust and increased accountability.
These surveys enable the organization to identify cost saving opportunities, productivity
improvements, assessing training needs, and gauge employees understanding of the
company mission. The problem areas can be detected at their early stages before it gets
escalated into issues of grave concerns. The biggest benefit is that the minute you spot a
weakness through the survey, you can go down and attack it at the root.
A survey process helps in increasing:
Retention/turnover
Productivity
Teamwork
Communication
Job satisfaction

RECOMMENDATIONS
AND
CONCLUSION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Giving recommendations to a company like BCH LTD. is like showing light to the sun,
but still here is a sincere effort to throw light on some issues, which could not catch the
sight of BCH LTD. officials.
50% of the Employees are not satisfied with the benefits provided by the company, so as
to motivate them the company can offer benefits such as picnic for the employees,
dinner for the family, birthday dinner for two etc.
Non-monetary benefits could also help to motivate the employees such as awards for the
employee of the month. An employee bulletin board could also be put up; a letter of
appreciation from the immediate boss of the employee or department head could be
displayed on it appreciating the efforts of the employees.
It was observed that 37% of the employees are not satisfied with the teamwork. They
should be told that teamwork would help in achieving the targets successfully. So it
should be greatly taken care of.
38% of the Employees are not satisfied with the adequate feedback received by the
Managers. Employees must be in formed regularly regarding their job performance,
their success and failure.
