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.
Smith et al. (1969) defined job satisfaction as the feeling an individual has about his or her
job.
Lacke (1969) suggested that job satisfaction was a positive or pleasurable reaction resulting
from the appraisal of one’s job, job achievement, or job experiences.
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 scribes of Alexander the Great, who came to India in 327 BC recorded that
inhabitants chewed a marvellous reed which produced a kind honey without the help of bees.
The Indian religious offerings contain five ‘Amrits’ (elixirs) like milk, curd, ghee
(clarified butter), honey and sugar-which indicates how important sugar is not only as an item
of consumption but as an item which influences the Indian way of life.
It Is understood that sugar was initially made in India during fourth and sixth
centuries by cutting sugarcane into pieces, crushing the pieces by weight to extract the juice
and then boiling it to crystalise.
These crystals were called ‘Sarkara’ meaning gravel in Sanskrit. The word sugar is a
derivative of ‘Sarkara’. The larger lumps were called ‘Khand’ from which the English word
‘Candy’ is derived.
Therefore it is from India that the art of making sugar went to Persia and subsequently
to the world over.
Although sugarcane was being grown in India from time immemorial and sugar
produced in lumps during fourth century, there was no sugar industry in India till 1904. The
first sugar plant was set up at Saran in Bihar in 1904.
There are 453 sugar mills in India. Co-operative sector has 252 mills and private sector
has 134 mills, Public sector boasts of around 67 mills.

Brikend Aziri (Management Research & Practice 3 (4), 2011) Job satisfaction represents one
of the most complex areas facing today's managers when it comes to managing their
employees. Many studies have demonstrated an unusually large impact on the job satisfaction
on the motivation has an impact on productivity, and hence also on performance of business
organizations.
Yanhan Zhu (Asian Social Science 9(1), 293, 2013) Job satisfaction, as an academic
concept, has aroused wide attentions from the fields of management, social psychology, and
practical operations in recent years. This paper reviews more than a decade of researches on
the antecedents and outcomes of job satisfaction. Starting from the definition of job
satisfaction, the author discusses the several models for the measurement of job satisfaction.
Then, the author discusses the achievements of job satisfaction.
Henrique Fernandez Job satisfaction is the degree to which people like their jobs. In other
words, it refers to a subjective evaluation that the workers makes of her own job, either in its
entirety or with respect to its different attributes. It is related to the sociological concept of
alienation and the economic concept of the (dis)utility derived from work: with respect to
them. job satisfaction has a more positive connotation, is defined in a more subjective way,
and has a stronger empirical orientation.
Timothy A Judge, Shuxia Carrie Zhang, David R Glerum (Essentials of job Attitudes and
other Workplace Psychological Constructs, 207-241, 2020) Researchers have been attempting
to capture the way people experience and relate lo their work since the inception of
Organizational Psychology and Behaviour as a field. Within the universe of job attitudes, job
Satisfaction has been the single most studied of these constructs (Judge et al., 2017). The
importance of job satisfaction has been demonstrated in numerous studies, which have found
that job satisfaction is related to a variety of individually and organizationally relevant
behaviours including task performance, absenteeism, turnover, organizational citizenship
behaviour (0CB), counterproductive work behaviour (CWB), and organizational profitability
(Judge & Kanmeyer-Mucllcr, 2012).
Chitrakhirshnaswamy (1985) Says job satisfaction is looked with three, the job, employee
holding the job, group relation influencing the individual in and outside the business. When
expectations of both the employer and the employee match then they are found to be satisfied
and become productive and also tend to work longer in the organization.
Ram (2013) Job satisfaction represents individual’s positive or negative attitude towards their
occupation. Every organization should pay considerable attention to job satisfaction and
performance and continually monitor these indices (Talasaz ct. Al 2014).
