INTRODUCTION
BRIEF HISTORY
In 1932, salesman Herman Lay opened a snack food operation in Nashville, Tennessee.[1] In
1938, he purchased the Atlanta, Georgia-based potato chip manufacturer "Barrett Food
Company", renaming it "H.W. Lay Lingo & Company". Lay crisscrossed the southern United
States, selling the product from the trunk of his car.
The business shortened its name to "the Lay's Lay Lingo Company" in 1944 and became the
first snack food manufacturer to purchase television commercials, using Bert Lahr as its
celebrity spokesperson.[2]
In 1961, the Frito Company, founded by Charles E. Doolin, merged with Lay’s, forming Frito-
Lay Inc., a snack food giant with combined sales of over $127 million annually, which was then
the highest sales revenue earned by any manufacturer. Shortly thereafter, Lay's introduced
what became its best-known slogan: "betcha can't eat just one". Sales of the chips became
international, with marketing assisted by a number of celebrity endorsers. Annual revenues for
Frito-Lay exceeded $180 million by 1965, when the company had more than 8,000 employees
and 46 manufacturing plants.[3]
In 1965, Frito-Lay merged with the Pepsi-Cola Company to form PepsiCo, Inc. In 1991, the
company introduced a new formulation of their chip that was crisper and kept fresher longer.
Shortly thereafter, the company introduced the "Wavy Lay's" products to grocery shelves, with
a national rollout in 1994.[4] In the mid- to late 1990s, Lay's introduced a lower-
calorie baked variety, and a fat-free variety (Lay's WOW chips) that contained the fat
substitute olestra.
In the 2000s, the company introduced “kettle-cooked” varieties, as well as a more highly
processed variety (Lay's Stax) that was intended to compete with Pringles,[5] and several
differently flavored varieties.
In 2012, Frito-Lay products comprised 59% of the United States savory snack-food market.[6]
In April 2019, PepsiCo's Indian subsidiary sued four farmers in Gujarat, India for copyright
infringement, claiming they were growing a variety of potatoes trademarked by the company
for exclusive use in its Lay's potato chips.[7][8] Two years later, the ruling was done in the
farmers' favour under the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers' Rights Act, 2001.[9]
CHAPTER – 2
INTRODUCTION OF TOPIC
JOB SATISFACTION
INTRODUCTION-:
Job satisfaction is the favorableness or un-
favorableness with which the employee views his work. It expresses the
amount of agreement between one's expectation of the job and reward that
job provides. Job satisfaction is the part of life satisfaction. The nature of
one's environment of job is an important part of life as job satisfaction
influences one's general life satisfaction. Job satisfaction, thus, Is the result of
various attitudes possessed by an employee. In a narrow sense, these
attitudes are related to the job under condition with such specific factors
such as wages. Supervisors of employment condition of work, social relation
on the job, prompt settlement of grievances fair treatment by employer.
However, more comprehensive approach requires that many factors are to
be included before a complete understanding of job satisfaction can be
obtained. Such factors as employee's age, health, temperature, desire level
of aspiration should be considered. Further his family relationship, social
status, recreational outlets, activity in organizations etc.
“GLIMMER”
This correlation is reciprocal meaning the people who are satisfied with
the tends to be satisfied with their jobs and the people who are
satisfied their tends to satisfied with their life.
It gives clear evidence that dissatisfied employees skip work more often
and more like to resign and satisfied worker likely to work with the
organization
IMPORTANCE TO WORKER ORGANISATION
Job satisfaction and occupational success are major factors in personal satisfaction, self-
respect, self-esteem and self-development. To the worker, job satisfaction brings a
pleasurable emotional state that can often leads to a positive work attitude. A satisfied
worker is more likely to be creative, flexible, innovative, and loyal.
For the organization, job satisfaction of its workers means a work force that is motivated
and committed to high quality performance. Increased productivity- the quantity of
output per hour worked- seems to be a byproduct of improved quality of working life. It
is important to note that the literature on the relationship between job satisfaction and
productivity is neither conclusive nor consistent.
However, studies dating back to Herzberg's (1957) have show at least low correlation
between high morale and high productivity and it does seems logical that more satisfied
workers will tend to add more value to an organization.
Unhappy employees, who are motivated by fear of loss of job, will not give 100% of
their effort for very long. Through fear is a powerful motivator, is also a temporary one,
and as soon as the threat is lifted performance will decline.
Although only little correlation has been found between job satisfaction and
productivity, Brown (1996) notes that some employers have found that satisfying or
delighting employees is a prerequisite to satisfying or delighting customers, thus
protecting the "bottom line."
FACTORS OF JOB SATISFACTION
Hoppock, the earliest investigator in this field, in 1935 soggested that there are six
major components of job satisfaction. These are as under:
Herberg, mausaer, Peterson and capwell in 1957 reviewed more than 150 studies and
listed various job factors of job satisfaction. These are briefly defined one by one as
follows:
It includes all of the many aspects of the work, which would tend to be constant for the
work regardless of where the work was performed
2.Supervision
This aspect of job satisfaction pertains to relationship of worker with his immediate
superiors. Supervision, as a factor, generally influences job satisfaction.
3. Working conditions
This includes those physical aspects of environment which are not necessary a part of
the work. Hours are included this factor because it is primarily a function of
organization, affecting the individuals comfort and convenience in much the same way
as other physical working conditions.
4. Wage and salaries
This factor includes all aspect of job involving present monitory remuneration for work
done.
It includes all aspect of job which individual sees as potential sources of betterment of
economic position, organizational status or professional experience.
6.Security
It is defined to include that feature of job situation, which leads to assurance for
continued employment, either within the same company or within same type of work
profession.
7.Company& management
It includes relationship of worker with the employees specially those employees at same
or nearly same level within the organization.
9.Communication
It includes job situation, which involves spreading the information in any direction
within the organization. Terms such as information of employee's status, information on
new developments, information on company line of authority, suggestion system, etc,
are used in literature to represent this factor
EFFECTS OF LOW JOB SATISFACTION
HIGH ABSENTEEISM
Absenteeism means it is a habitual pattern of absence from duty or obligation.
If there will be low job satisfaction among the employees the rate of absenteeism
will definitely increase and it also affects on productivity of organization
2.HIGH TURNOVER
In human resource refers to characteristics of a given company or industry relative to
the rate at which an employer gains and losses the staff. If the employer is said to be
have a high turnover of employees of that company have shorter tenure than those of
other companies.
There is no. of factors that influence job satisfaction. For example, one recent study
even found that if college students majors' coinsided with their job, this relationship will
predict subsequent job satisfaction. However, the main influences can be summerised
along with the dimentions identified above.
The concept of work itself is a major source of satisfaction. For example, research
related to the job charactoristics approach to job design, shows that feedback from job
itself and autonomy are two of the major job related motivational factors. Some of the
most important ingridents of a satisfying job uncovered by survey include intersting and
challenging work, work that is not boring, and the job that provides status.
Pay
If the employees are allowed some flexibility in choosing the type of benefits they prefer
within a total package. called a flexible benefit plan, there is a significant increase in
both benefit satisfaction and overall job satisfaction
Promotions
Promotional opportunities are seem to be have avarying effect on job satisfaction. This
is because of promotion take number of different forms.
MODELS OF JOB SATISFACTION
Motivating factors are those aspects of the job that make people
want to perform, and provide people satisfaction. Thesemotivating
factor are considered to be intrinsic to the job,or the work carried
out. Motivating factor include aspects of the working environment
such as pay,company policies,supervisory practices, and other
working conditions.
Hackman & Oldham proposed the Job Characteristics Model, which is widely
used as a framework to study how particular job characteristics impact on
job outcomes, including job satisfaction.
The model states that there are five core job characteristics (skill variety, task
identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback) which impact three
critical psychological states (experienced meaningfulness, experienced
responsibility for outcomes, and knowledge of the actual results), in turn
influencing work outcomes (job satisfaction, absenteeism, work motivation,
etc.).
RATING SCALE
It is one of the most common methods of measuring job satisfaction. The
popular rating scale used to measure Job satisfaction is to include: Minnesota
Satisfaction Questionnaires: It helps to obtain a clear picture of pertinent
satisfactions and dissatisfactions of employees. Job Description Index: it
measures Job satisfaction on the dimension
JOB ENLARGEMENT
The concept of job enlargement originated after World War II. It is simply the
organizing of the work so as to relate the contents of the job to the capacity,
actual and potential, of workers. Job enlargement is oblivious forerunner of
the concept and philosophy of job design. Stephan offers three basic
assumptions behind the concept of job enlargement
Job enlargement is a generic term that broadly means adding more and
different tasks to a specialized job. It may widen the number of task the
employee must do that is, add variety. When additional simple task are
added to a job, the process is called horizontal job enlargement. This also
presumably adds interest to the work and reduces monotony and boredom.
each job and then allowed to decide for himself how to organize the work.
Such changes permit more social contacts and greater control over the work
process.
PERSONAL INTERVIEWS
This method facilitates an in-depth exploration through interviewing of job
attitudes. The main advantage in this method is that additional information
or clarifications can be obtained promptly.
JOB ROTATION
Job rotation involves periodic assignments of an employee to completely
different sets of job activities. One way to tackle work routine is to use the
job rotation. When an activity is no longer challenging. the employee is
rotated to another job, at the same level that has similar skill requirements.
