1.1 Introduction
Meaning
The talents and aptitudes of the hired people, which include executives,
managers, and the rank and file employees, are the total of their innate
abilities, learned knowledge, and acquired skills. It should be mentioned
that to fulfil both personal and organizational objectives, human resources
should be used as fully as feasible. So, the achievement of goals and the
employee's performance are what matter most. Yet, job satisfaction and
motivation have a significant impact on employee performance. The phrase
refers to the entire working arrangement between an employee and his or
her employer. The simple emotional state that comes together with
achieving any goal is what is meant by satisfaction; the final state is the
emotion that comes along with achieving an impulse's purpose. Lack of
motivation at work does correlate with job happiness.
The variables influencing both job satisfaction and job discontent were
described differently by research participants. The management will benefit
and be able to know the impressions and inner thoughts regarding the job
they are performing daily thanks to the survey made regarding job
satisfaction in the telecom business. The phrase "work satisfaction" refers
to and focuses on what telecom industry employees like and dislike. In this
particular study, the researcher aims to pinpoint the reasons behind
employees' pleasure and dissatisfaction. So, this is the most precise and
accurate tool for identifying and eavesdropping on staff problems.

An employee's high motivation and morale inspire him to compete fiercely
and give him the dynamism to handle obstacles, which keeps him in the
company.
Similar to how appropriate respiration and nutrition are essential for human
health, so too is contentment with one's employment. The development of
human resources is ultimately aided by this contentment.

employee. For this reason, it is essential to have a multidimensional
approach to employee satisfaction, covering the following areas:
• The challenging nature of work, pushes employees to new heights.
• A level of convenience (short commutes, access to the right digital
tools, and flexible hours)
• Regular appreciation by the immediate management and the
organization as a whole.
• Competitive pay, which employees maintain a good quality of life.
• The promise of career progression in sync with employees’ growth
targets.
High Productivity- Employees who have high job satisfaction tend to achieve
higher productivity. Higher productivity in employees is seen when they are
happy with their job and focus well on their tasks. A single member’s high
productivity in a team boosts the confidence of others in the same manner.
Loyalty- When employees in the organization feel that the company has their best
interest, they often support its mission and work hard to produce the best results.
In this case, job satisfaction and level of loyalty will be increased, and they will
be more likely to communicate positive words around their known.
Increased Profits- If employees are safe and satisfied with their work and
responsibilities, it can lead to lower costs, high sales, and a robust bottom line.
Happy employees are satisfied employees who are willing to follow their workers
and cooperate with the organization during emergencies.

Theories on Job Satisfaction
There are vital differences among experts on the concept of job satisfaction.
There are four approaches/theories of job satisfaction. They are as follows:
1. Fulfilment theory
2. Discrepancy theory
3. Equity theory
4. Two-factor theory
1. Fulfilment theory
2. Discrepancy Theory
The proponents of this theory are that satisfaction is the function of what a
person receives from his job satisfaction and what he thanks receives or expects
to receive.
This approach does not make it clear whether or not over-satisfaction is a part
of dissatisfaction and if so, how it differs from dissatisfaction.
3. Equity Theory
10
The proponents of this theory are of the view that a person’s satisfaction is
determined by his perceived equity which in from is determined by his
inputoutput balance when compared es input-output balance. Input-output
balance is the perceived ratio of what a person received from his job relative to
what he contributes to the job.
4. Two-Factor Theory
This theory was developed by Herzberg, Manusner, Paterson, and Capwell who
identified certain factors as satisfiers and dissatisfiers.
This theory is considered invalid as a person can get both satisfaction and
dissatisfaction at the same time.
1. Organization Variables
2. Personal Variables
1. Organization variables:
• Occupational Level: The higher the level of the job, the greater the
satisfaction of the individuals. This is because higher levels of jobs carry
greater prestige and self-control. This relationship between occupational
level and job satisfaction stems from social reference group theory in our
11
society values some jobs more than others. Hence people in value like
them more than those who are in non-valued jobs. The relationship may
also stem from the need fulfilment theory.
• Job content: Greater the variation in job content and less the
repetitiveness with which the tasks must be performed, the greater the
satisfaction of the individuals involved. Job content in terms of variety
and nature of tasks called for is a function of occupational level. The
theoretical arguments given above apply here also.
• • Considerate Leadership: People to be treated with consideration. Hence
considerate leadership results in higher job satisfaction than considerate
leadership.
• • Pay and Promotional opportunities: All other things being equal these
two variables are positively related to job satisfaction.
• • Interaction among Employees: Here the question is, when interaction
in the work group is a source of job satisfaction and when it is not.
• Interaction is more satisfying when:
o It results in the cognition that other persons’ attitudes
are similar to one’s sense this permits ready
calculability of the behaviour of the other and
constitutes a validation of one’s self.
o It results in being accepted by others and o It facilitates
2. Personal Variables
For some people, it appears that most jobs will be dissatisfying irrespective of
the organizational conditions, whereas for others most jobs will be satisfying
personal variables for this difference. Age, Educational Level, Role perception,
etc. are the personal variables.
12
b) Rationale for choosing the topic under study
I chose this topic because human resources (employees) is the most important
asset of a company and when the employees are satisfied with their job it can be
most beneficial to any company. After all, the employees will be more
productive and it will help to attain maximum profits.
The strategy used in this study is by asking 30 employees about their experience
in the company and job satisfaction through a questionnaire.
The main aim of the study is to analyse and examine the level of job satisfaction
among the TELECOM INDUSTRY employees and to know the problems faced
by the employees of the various categories. The specific objectives are as
follows:

• 40% of the employees believes that the corporate policies need to be
altered.
• The majority of employees believe that the company should implement a
wage incentive program to reward productive labour.
• The management needs to be more understanding and supportive of the issues
that the employees are having in the workplace
6.3 SUGGESTION
Some limitations are stated above. So, the TELECOM INDUSTRY should work
upon these factors so that the employee will work to maximize the profits of the
company and hence job satisfaction will lead to productivity.
