The success of the organization basically depends on many things; like level of motivation existing in the organization, the organizational climate, co-ordination existing among the employees etc... In this study i just want to prove that job satisfaction plays a major role in the success of the organization .For that matter; the organization should have good working environment, high level of motivation and the employees should be provided with good welfare. Let us just come across these things in detail. 1.1 ORGANIZATIONAL ENVIRONMENT An organizations environment is composed of institutions or forces outside the organization that potentially affect the organizations performance. These typically include suppliers, customers, competitors, government regulatory agencies, public pressure and the like. Why should an organizations structure be affected by its environment? Because of environmental uncertainty; some organizations face relatively static environments few forces in their environment are changing. There are for example, no new competitors no new technological by current competitors or little activity by public pressure groups to influence the organization. Other organizations face very dynamic environments rapidly changing government regulations affecting their business, new competitors, difficulties in acquiring raw materials, continually changing product preferences by customers and so on. Static environments create significantly less uncertainty for managers than do dynamic ones. And because uncertainty is a threat to an organizations effectiveness, management will try to minimize it. One way to reduce environmental uncertainty is through adjustments in the organizations structure. Recent research has helped clarify what is meant by environmental uncertainty. Its been found there are three key dimensions to any organizations environmental: capacity, volatility and complexity.
The capacity of an environment refers to the degree to which it can support growth. Rich and growing environments generate excess resources, which can buffer the organization in times of relative scarcity. Abundant capacity, for example, leaves room for an organization to make mistakes, while scarce capacity does not. In 2004, firms operating in the multimedia software business had relatively abundant environments, whereas those in the full service brokerage business faced relative scarcity. The degree of instability in an environment is captured in the volatility dimension. When there is a high degree of unpredictable change, the environment is dynamic. This makes it difficult for management to predict accurately the probabilities associated with various decisions alternatives. At the other extreme is a stable environment. The acceleration in Eastern Europe and the demise of the Cold War had dramatic effects on the US defense industry in the 1990s. This moved the environment of major defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman from relatively stable to dynamic. Finally, the environment needs to be assessed in terms of complexity that is, the degree of heterogeneity and concentration among environmental elements. Simple environments are homogeneous and concentrated. This might describe the tobacco industry, since there are relatively few players. Its easy for firms in this industry to keep a close eye on the competition. In contrast, environments characterized by heterogeneity and dispersion are called complex. This is essentially the current environment for firms competing in the Internet connection business. Every day there seems to be another new kind on the block with whom current Internet access providers have to deal. Organizations that operate in environments characterized as scarce, dynamic and complex face the greatest degree of uncertainty. Why? Because they have little room for error, high unpredictability, and a diverse set of elements in the environment to monitor constantly. Given this three dimensional definition of environment we can offer some general conclusions. There is evidence that relates the degree of environmental uncertainty to different structural arrangements. Specifically, the more scarce, dynamic and complex the environment, the more organic a structure should be. The more abundant stable and simple the environment, the more the mechanistic structure will be preferred.

Special organizational arrangements need to be made for fostering and utilizing entrepreneurship at times. Frequently, entrepreneurship is thought to apply to managing small business, but the concept can also be applied to large organizations and to managers carrying out entrepreneurial roles through which they initiate changes to take advantage of opportunities. 1.2 EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION Motivation is a term that refers to a process that elicits, controls, and sustains certain behaviours. Motivation is a group phenomenon which affects the nature of an individual's behaviour, the strength of the behaviour, and the persistence of the behaviour. For instance: An individual has not eaten, he or she feels hungry, as a response he or she eats and diminishes feelings of hunger. There are many approaches to motivation: physiological, behavioural, cognitive, and socialhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motivation - cite_note-0. It's the crucial element in setting and attaining goalsand research shows you can influence your own levels of motivation and self-control. According to various theories, motivation may be rooted in a basic need to minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure, or it may include specific needs such as eating and resting, or a desired object, goal, state of being, ideal, or it may be attributed to less-apparent reasons such as altruism, selfishness, morality, or avoiding mortality. Conceptually, motivation should not be confused with either volition or optimism. Motivation is related to, but distinct from, emotion. 1.3 JOB SATISFACTION The father of scientific management Taylor's (1911) approach to job satisfaction was based on a most pragmatic & essentially pessimistic philosophy that man is motivation by money alone. That the workers are essentially 'stupid & phlegmatic' & that they would be satisfied with work if they get higher economic benefit from it. But with the passage of time Taylor's solely monetary approach has been changed to a more humanistic approach. It has come a long way from a simple explanation based on money to a more realistic but complex approach to job satisfaction. New dimensions of knowledge are added every day & with increasing understanding of new variables & their inter play; the field of job satisfaction has become difficult to comprehend.
Page 3
The term job satisfaction was brought to limelight by Hoppock (1935). He reviewed 32 studies on job satisfaction conducted prior to 1933 & observed that job satisfaction is a combination of psychological, physiological & environmental circumstances that cause a person to say. 'I am satisfied with my job'. Locke defines job satisfaction as a "pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one's job or job experiences". To the extent that a person's job fulfils his dominant need & is consistent with his expectations & values, the job will be satisfying. One way to define satisfaction may be to say that it is the end state of feeling. The word 'end' emphasises the fact that the feeling is experienced after a task is accomplished or an activity has taken place whether it is highly individualistic effort of writing a book or a collective endeavour of constructing a building. These activities may be minute or large. But in all cases, they satisfy a certain need. The feeling could be positive or negative depending upon whether need is satisfied or not & could be a function of the effort of the individual on one hand & on the other the situational opportunities available to him. This can be better understood by taking example of a foreman in an engineering industry. He has been assigned the task to complete a special order by a certain, deadline. Person may experience positive job satisfaction because he has been chosen to complete the task. It gives him a special status & feeling that he has been trusted and given a special task, he likes such kind of rush job and it may get him extra wages. The same could be the sources of his dissatisfaction if he does not like rush work, has no need for extra wages. Each one of these variables lead to an end state of feeling, called satisfaction. Sinha (1974) defines job satisfaction an 'a reintegration of affect produced by individual's perception of fulfilment of his needs in relation to his work & the situations surrounding it'.
1.4 WELFARE
Welfare includes anything that is done for the comfort and improvement of employees and is provided over and above the wages. Welfare helps in keeping the morale and motivation of the employees high so as to retain the employees for longer duration. The welfare measures need not be in monetary terms only but in any kind/forms. Employee welfare includes
Page 4
monitoring of working conditions, creation of industrial harmony through infrastructure for health, industrial relations and insurance against disease, accident and unemployment for the workers and their families. 1.5 THE OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY ARE: There come basically two types of objectives they are primary and secondary objectives. 1. Primary objective of the study are: To study about how the organizational environment and employee motivation affects the job satisfaction of the employees. 2. Secondary Objectives of the study are: To find out the relationship between organizational environment and job satisfaction To find out the relationship between employee motivation and job satisfaction To find out the job satisfaction techniques followed by the company To give suggestion based on findings
1.6
To get the desired results from the employees at the end; the employees should be satisfied in their job. In absence satisfied employees the organizational goals cannot be achieved. It will badly affect the quality, productivity and also the customer satisfaction. A firm really needs to concentrate more on the job satisfaction and welfare of the employees.
satisfaction of the employees. The study analyse how these variables are really helpful in providing job satisfaction to the employees there by attaining organizational goals.

CHAPTER 2 PROFILES
2.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE Fire Protection Industry has gained importance in recent years. It is estimated that the loss of assets due to fire is almost $100 billion per year with an increasing tendency. The total world market for fire protection business show an upward trend, but the rate varies in different segments and countries. Estimated worldwide market size is approximately US$58 billion and expected to grow to around $73 billion by 2015. There are more than 15,000 companies worldwide in the fire protection business of which 5,000 are relevant with around 200 leading companies. Indian fire protection market is expanding to meet the growing demand from the user segment. Large office space, technology parks, commercial complexes, airports, petrochemical complexes, manufacturing ventures are expanding and these ventures continue to support the growth of the fire protection demand in the country. The fire-fighting industry in India has tremendous potential. As the economy grows, both industry and government are updating fire protection systems for continued operations in industrial plants and offices. The government regulations for fire safety are now mandatory and this has further brightened the market outlook for fire protection systems in India. Technology parks, office buildings for IT/ITES, infrastructure development, new hospitals, shopping malls, hotels and banks will contribute to the demand for fire protection in India. The Government is investing heavily in infrastructure development, upgrading existing airports and setting up new airports and metros in various cities in India. These continue to drive the demand for fire protection. Large refineries, petrochemical complexes, biotechnology ventures, pharmaceutical, automobile, steel, other manufacturing projects and oil/gas exploration programme have specialized fire protection requirements.

2.2 DEVELOPMENTS IN INDIAN FIRE INDUSTRY As far as the Indian market is concerned, there is no authentic data on the correct size of the addressable market. However, inside estimates indicate that the current market size is around `3400 crores. Currently, there are more than 60 companies with pan India presence for Fire Protection. However majority of players in this field are either family owned or proprietary concerns. Most of the fire protection companies who operate internationally are already having presence in India. With the market becoming more competitive many of the players in Fire Protection are already diversifying into other fields like Security. Customers are also becoming more conscious of the importance of having a reliable fire protection in place. In the near future, there will be a consolidation of the number of players and only those who are able to provide quality services will survive. Multinationals are more aggressive in high value projects which are mostly long duration which gives them more revenues. However, the nature of these projects takes a major portion of their resources leaving very little space for them to operate in the other segments. This is likely to continue as long as the large government tenders for power plants etc. 2.3 COMPANY PROFILE Is primarily promoted by the STC Group, which is a 31 year old, INR. 12 Billion Company headquartered in the State of Oman.

Mankind unlike animals seems to have an acquired fear of fires. A child does not fear fire until burnt. But whether acquired or instinctive, our fears eventually result in respect and this respect comes from control. When under man's control it serves him faithfully, when beyond his control it is the prime element of his destruction. Time has become an element of critical importance in scheduling and manufacturing operations. A fire may cause business interruption which could cripple a company or an establishment overnight. Delay in detecting a fire and further delay in calling the fire brigade, are major factors contributing to heavy fire losses. CAUSES OF FIRE Fire takes place only when three factors are brought together - Fuel, Heat and Oxygen. Combustion cannot take place if any of the three is either not present or removed. Even if fire has broken out, it can be controlled by breaking the above stated combination. FIRE HYDRENT SYSTEMS
The Fire Hydrant System is the most effective, efficient and ultimate means of extinguishing very large fires which can prove to be devastating. The main advantage of Fighting Fires with Fire Hydrant System is its accessibility and penetration capability since fires can be fought from a very large distance and to a very large reach ability. Many a time the water from the Hydrants through appropriate nozzle may also be used as shield (Water shield) in protecting the Fire Fighter against Fire and Smoke when evacuating persons in a room engulfed by fire. In other cases when it is required to fight oil fires etc. Special branch pipes attached to the hydrants are used to deliver foam which can create a blanket on the fire resulting in cutting off oxygen supply to the fire.
Page 9
SPRINKLER SYSTEMS
The Sprinkler system is usually needed at unmanned places such as Basement, Car Parks, Shops & Highly inflammable material storage areas etc. However, provision of sprinklers at manned places as well, provide additional safety. The Sprinkler System is mainly provided with Sprinkler Heads fixed at the ceiling and/or on the walls encompassing the area to be protected, with the help of piping. This piping, like the Automatic Hydrant System, is pressurized with water through the pumps. At the Outset of the fire, heat reaches the Sprinkler head, & increases the temperature of the liquid inside the bulb of the Sprinkler. On sensing the increased temperature, the liquid expands and breaks the bulb, thereby spraying water continuously on the Fi8re and eventually extinguishing it. The drop in pressure activates the pumps which in turn keeps the water flowing to the pipe line continuously under pressure. FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS We provide suppression system for server / data centre rooms. The different types of gas suppression systems are CO2, FM 200, NAF III, Argonite and Inert Gas.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS After the fire has been detected appropriate action has to be taken to extinguish the fire
with the right type of fire extinguisher. Different types of Fires have different characters and therefore, an appropriate type of Fire Extinguisher is required to be used. For instance, on Fire involving live electric circuit or electrical equipments, water based fire Extinguishers cannot be used as the same will cause Electrocution. Therefore, it is essential to select an appropriate fire Extinguisher for the classes of fire.

SPTL has partnered with prompt International Asia Pacific for Passive fire protection (PFP) requirements, which is an integral component of the three components of structural fire protection and fire safety in a building. PFP attempts to contain fires or slow the spread, through use of fire resistant walls, floors, and doors. Passive Fire protection is a vital factor in reducing risk is to provide physical barriers to the spread of fire within the building by dividing it into a series of compartments bounded by fire resisting walls and floors. This concept is fundamentally effective and generally referred to as "compartmentation, is fire-proofed to an optimum level to prevent the spread of fire, smoke and toxic gasses. 2.4 FIRE SAFETY IN THE BUILDING INDUSTRY Like Buildings, fire control is a continually evolving science that general starts with the idea that a bucket of water or sand in the right hands at the right time and place can make the difference between a minor incident and a major disaster. Unfortunately, we live in a built environment that is considerably more complicated. The risk of a fire defends on a building's use, location, size, occupants design and construction. In general, the larger the building, the greater the risk to life and property. The protection of the structural frame, the enclosure and protection of vertical and horizontal openings, effective fire-stopping at junctions, protection of service penetrations, use of low flame spread finishing materials and non-combustible materials are all important considerations. In addition, the fire performance of external walls and roofs and their proximity to other buildings are essential factors to consider in the prevention of spread of fire between buildings. All these measures are referred to as "proactive" fire protection for they are systems that do not require power or water to operate in the event of a fire. They protect on demand, as and when necessary.
PROACTIVE FIRE PROTECTION Products and systems are tested by independently approved testing authorities under standard test conditions.

Interpretation
The values show that the level of motivation is very low in the organization compared to environment, satisfaction and welfare. Employees are very much satisfied with the welfare facilities they are getting.
Page 52
The variation in the variable overall satisfaction shows 91.7% of the variation. So overall satisfaction depends on the variables environment, motivation and welfare. And the model is accepted since p<0.05. Chi-square tests shows that, the p value is
more than .05(p>0.05), we cannot reject the null hypothesis; Therefore there is no association between gender and overall satisfaction. The study shows that employees are very much satisfied with the welfare they are getting and the overall satisfaction is very good. There is a strong relationship between organizational environment, employee motivation and welfare in providing job satisfaction to the employees. The study shows that the level of motivation they are getting is very poor; the organizational environment is also not that much satisfactory; employees are not that much satisfied with the incentives they are getting right now; majority of the employees are getting chances to take part in the decision making process of their departments; majority of the employees are satisfied with the working environment of the organization and that increases the level of

performance; most of the employees feel secured in their job; the medical benefits providing by the organization are highly satisfactory; good interpersonal relationship existing among the employees; employees are really helping each other for the accomplishment of the organizational goals; the organization promotes creative thinking; opportunity for advancement is also existing in the organization; employees are highly satisfied with the insurance policies adopted by the organization.

CONCLUSION Job satisfaction and welfare is considered to be one of the most important drivers of quality, customer satisfaction and productivity. Objective of the study is to investigate an important driver of job satisfaction. The study argues that organizational environment and employee motivation strongly influences job satisfaction. Satisfied employees are highly motivated,
have good morale at work, and work more effectively and efficiently. They are also more committed to continuous improvement and to quality. To test the relationship between these constructs, the level of employee motivation and how far they are satisfied with the organizational environment is measured.

Page 55
SUGGESTIONS The employees opinion is that they are not satisfied with the incentives and other benefits they are given, so the organization can give more monetary and nonmonetary rewards to the employees those who are utilizing the time properly. Majority of the employees says that level of motivation existing in the organization is so far not satisfactory. So the organization can give more time on increasing the level of motivation Majority of the employees says the organizational environment existing in the organization is so far not satisfactory. So the organization can give more time on increasing this also. Reasonable periodical increase in salary motivates people in their work; the organization can give more attention to that also Half of the employees are enjoying their work; the management can conduct recreational activities to increase the men-management relationship. It will definitely help the rest of the employees to enjoy their work and the employees will really get motivated too
Page 56
Some of the employees are not provided with the resources to perform; management should give special concentration to those employees Some of the employees are not happy with the present organizational environment ; the organization can try to create more open and comfortable environment for those employees
