The below said are some of the factors that help to determine employee job satisfaction. Salary: It is a motivator for employees, and they want to be paid fairly. If individuals believe that they are not compensated well, they will be unhappy working for the organization. The management must see whether the salaries and benefits the company offers are comparable to those of other offices in the same area. In addition, clear policies related to salaries, raises and bonuses must be made. Salary is one of the most sensitive indicators that indicate the level of job satisfaction among workers. Interpersonal relations: Being employed gives the employees a reasonable amount of time for socialization (e.g., over lunch, during breaks). This will help them develop a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. So it is essential that the employee maintain good relations with all the employees. Working conditions: The environment in which people work has a tremendous effect on their level of pride for themselves and for the work they are doing. So the equipment and facilities must be kept up to date. The work itself: One of the most important tasks in employee motivation is helping individuals believe that the work they are doing is important and that their tasks are meaningful. Achievement: Most employees in any organization want to do a good job. So they must be placed in positions that use their talents and are not set up for failure. Timely regular feedback on how they are doing will also give them job satisfaction. Recognition: Sincere praises are effective motivators. Responsibility: Employees will be more motivate to do their jobs well if they have ownership of their work. This requires giving employees enough freedom and power to carry their task so that they feel they Own the result. Salary and working conditions constitute the physiological component. Interpersonal relations represent the sociological component; achievement, the work itself, recognitions, responsibility for the psychological component of job satisfaction. Employee Dissatisfaction:
Dissatisfied employees express their dissatisfaction in number of ways. The employees can quit, complain, be insubordinate or shirk a part of their work responsibilities.
Exit: This is a behavior directed towards leaving the organization. It includes looking for
suggesting improvements, discussing problems with superiors or some form of union activity.
Loyalty: Here the employee waits passively but optimistically for conditions to improve.
He might even speak for the organization in the face of external criticism and trust the organization to do the right things.
Neglect: Here the employee passively allows the conditions to worsen. He might indulge
in chronic absenteeism or lateness, reduced efforts and increased error rate. Voice and loyalty are the constructive forms of displaying dissatisfaction while exit and neglect are the destructive ways of expressing it. A satisfied employee ensures lesser employee turnover. A skilled and able worker can be made more. Productive by keeping him satisfied
Lakshadweep, Pondicherry, etc. About .5.5 lake persons get employment, mostly part time, in this industry. The exports from this industry are around Rs. 70 corers. Coconut husk is the basic raw material for coir products. Around 50 per cent of the available coir husk is used to produce coir products. Hence, there is scope for growth of coir industry. The Eighth Plan programmers for coir industry aimed at increased utilization of coconut husk for production of coir fiber, growth of the domestic market, strengthening of research and development to find out new uses of coir fiber especially in the areas of geo-fiber, fire retardant, cement and gypsum polymer development, acquiring of new technology like PVC-tufted coir products, encouragement to cooperativisation and providing social welfare, civic amenities and medical facilities to coir workers. Emphasis would be laid on mechanization in a phased manner without affecting employment to make Indian coir products competitive in the export market. Brown coir fiber production would be encouraged. Coir Industry is exclusively a cottage Industry on its spinning side. On the Manufacturing side of finished goods, it is partly cottage wise and partly factory wise. The Co-operative Sector also made its mark, organizing individual households involved in coir making activities and reaping the benefits of organized buying of raw material and Shared common facilities. Kerala alone has 620 primary societies and 43 manufacturing Societies. The Indian Coir Industry has been fortunate to get another boost in the form of the everincreasing awareness about eco protection. Coir, being a natural fiber that is environment friendly in the strictest sense of the term, is now seen as the fiber of the Future. The eco friendly quality of coir will help it to hold its ground even as it battles Competition from synthetic fibers. The Indian Coir Industry is now on the comeback trail, after the sluggishness Over the past three decades. The export figures have moved up from Rs. 250 crores in 1997 to Rs 605.17 crores during 2006-07. Those figures may not look awesome in value terms, but the real significance lies in the fact that the industry employs a staggering 6 Lakhs people directly or indirectly. Equally significant is the fact that most of these people are from the economically disadvantaged classes, and as much as 80 % of the Workers are women. The manufacture of coir fiber and coir yarn was traditional old industry in the coastal areas of the native states of Travancore and Cochin and the coir was Purchased and exported by
4
the traders from the Calcutta port. Using handlooms used the yarn so exported for the manufacture of cheap floor coverings in the schools for the blind. The golden textured Indian Coir Fiber, which earned it the unofficial brand name golden fiber, captured European and world markets in no time. According to the Indian Coconut Committees History and Home of Coconut Published in September1954, the coconut palm originated in Sri Lanka. In another view, the coconuts drifted in the sea from Polynesia and found new homes in many parts of the World. According to early Greek Chronicles, it was Megasthenes, Ambassador of the Seluces Nicater, who told the Indian King, Chandra Gupta about the Coconut Palm, he Found in Sri Lanka in 300 BC. Arab writers of 11th century AD referred to the uses of coir As ships cables, fenders and rigging. Marco Polos celebrated travelogue of the 12th century mentioned on the uses to which coir fiber and mats were put in use in the sailing Vessels of Arabs. He later saw the land where Arabs brought their coir and recorded how It was made out of the fiber from the coconut husk. During the 13th century there was evidence of coir yarn being used in building ships in The Persian Gulf. When Portuguese Admiral Vasco da Gamma sailed in to Kerala, in the Late 15th century, he must have seen this multipurpose fiber. Somewhere in the historical Archives in Lisbon, there should be reference to coir. Coir is used for caulking, for sealing the space between the planks and for making ropes for sails and hawsers to tie ships and hold them during the tidal waves.
The coir industry was in U.K before the 2nd half of the 19th century. In 1840 Captain Widely, in co-operation with Captain Logan and Mr. Thomas Treolar founded the well known Carpet firm of Treloar and Sons in Ludgate Hill it is likely that both India and Sri Lanka were the first countries in the world to have discovered the multiple uses of coconut fiber: coir. In the beginning the small scale producers of coir products were given encouragement and were financed by exporting companies. Now the Small-scale manufacturers too have taken the path of the Trade Unions, forcing the industry to a stand Still and that too, very often, with
5
disastrous consequences to the Coir Industry. The large-scale units, a few of which still exists and all of who are exporters have to substantially depend for the supplies on the small manufacturers. Repeated labour unrest and agitations, absence of a strong co-operative sector, a steady decline in the export earnings and replacement of coir products by more competent synthetic materials in the foreign markets have further tended to undermine the existence and stability of Coir Industry in the 1980s. Coir Industry in India is an export oriented one from very early days and the prosperity of the industry is therefore dependent on the foreign buyers. It may appear quite paradoxical that where in every other industry attempts are made towards greater modernization in production methods, the coir industry has been the sad victim of a retrograde trend, The organized sector, which comprised of the large scale factories began to disintegrate at an amazingly incredible pace. Since coir yarn and fiber could be most economically moved by well developed water Transport to Aleppo, a thinly populated, with communication facilities by road was sparse, but had facilities for shipping the product, with two canals connecting the port and backwaters. , Coir industrial units came to be Marco polo concentrated in and around Aleppo due to the availability of cheap labour and the abundance of raw material.

surprisingly, many of the intrinsic work values of nurses response were derived frompatient care activities or making a difference in the life of a patient (Fletcher, 2001). The theories of motivation to improve upon simplistic motivation theories such as scientific management and the human relations movement were named on the idea that a happy worker is a good worker. There are six basic endogenous theories. ATTITUDE THEORY sates that people who have positive attitudes about their jobs will inherently perform better in the workplace (similar to the idea of the cognitive consistency which is that people will act in ways that accord with their attitudes. Another endogenous theory is the INTENTION/GOAL THEORY which states that a persons performance is determined by the goals to which he or she is committed, and the intentions are merely a cognitive representation of those goals.

The Employees are provided with adequate training programs yet the training and development programs can be increased to train the employees to adapt to latest technology. The Employees performance must be appraised using the appropriate appraisal methods and the performance of the employees can be increased by increment in their salary to improve the satisfaction level of the employees. The Employees can be provided with much more benefits like perquisites and other monetary benefits. The facilities provided to the Employees can be improvised according to their needs. Good transportation facility can be provided to the Employees.
3.3 CONCLUSION
The project A Study on Employee Satisfaction in Green world coir exports has been helpful to know the attitude of the employees towards their job. It is essential for any company to know the level of satisfaction its employees show towards their job, as higher satisfaction will ensure there is lower employee turnover. There is a general saying that happy workers are productive workers. But the researcher found that it cannot be generalized.
30
This project helped the researcher understand the requirements and attitude of the employees and hopes to use this as a stepping stone for further studies in similar areas. The Employees are highly satisfied with the organization, working environment and the fringe benefits provided by the Organization.
