 INTRODUCTION OF JOB SATISFACTION AND
PROFILE OF NLC INDIA LTD.

Job Satisfaction is a general look of workers’ positive attitudes built up towards their jobs. Positive attitudes
of employees towards the whole business environment as a result their experiences of work-environment are
called job satisfaction. Besides its answering the individual needs of physiology and security, person's feelings
and values in positive way, then it can be said that there is a job satisfaction. Job satisfaction has been a subject
to logical researches with “Hawthorne” studies in 20th centuries. Job satisfaction is described as enjoyable or
positive emotional state as a result of evaluation of the job or job experiences. Churchil, Ford and Walker
(1974) describe the term of “job satisfaction” for salesmen as a state relating with being satisfied with the
emotional devotion, conferment (rewarding), all attribute features constituting the job environment and the job
itself. Job satisfaction is a concept which has a close relationship with motivation and activity. The main cause
for that is the assumption that workers satisfied with their jobs are more productive, effective, and in a better
move towards about their jobs compared with those who are not satisfied with their jobs.
Owing to this theory, job satisfaction studies are encouraged first in order to increase the effectiveness and
productiveness of workers. These studies carried out with sponsorship of managers and enterprise owners.
However, the thought that there is a positive association between job satisfaction and the productiveness of
workers does not confirm by all scientific studies. For instance, 1 Bayfield and Crockett, in their studies, have
proved that there is not an admirable correlation between the behaviors and attitudes of staff and their
performances. Even though it can be said that there are some studies, which prove no relation between job
satisfaction and productiveness of workers, generally, conditions in practice opposite that. Because the positive
effect of satisfaction on motivation and effectiveness cannot be denied.

internal and external factors may vary according to the position of the employees. Organizational care towards the
employees’ welfare may reduce inequality and influence the production and job satisfaction.
