INRODUCTION
There is a multitude of reasons for an employee to remain within a given company. High pay, excellent benefits, job security, and the ability to retire within a company are among the most sought after components of the perfect job. Unfortunately, any one of these attributes alone is not enough to outweigh the problem of low perceived job satisfaction. It is no longer acceptable by the workforce to merely make a wage. Salary is a significant element pertinent to job satisfaction, but it is not by itself enough to decrease or increase job satisfaction. The relationship between an employer and an employee must provide both with the means by which a need to be fulfilled in their respective roles. Job satisfaction fills this need for both sides of the equation. If employees are satisfied in their roles it is assumed that their output quantity is greater and that their quality is higher. The employer must also be satisfied with the employee. These are accomplished by first recognizing that needs of the employees. The employer feels they have an advantage since there are many employees from which employer choose to fill a particular job. Job satisfaction is a two way street and involves participation. For this to happen, a relationship must evolve between the employer and the employee. Job satisfaction is therefore distinct from other organizational constructs.

JOB SATISFACTION
Job satisfaction, a workers sense of achievement and success, is generally perceived to be directly linked to productivity as well as to personal wellbeing. Job satisfaction implies doing a job one enjoys, doing it well, and being suitably rewarded for ones efforts. Job satisfaction further implies enthusiasm and happiness with ones work.

IMPORTANCE OF JOB SATISFACTION TO WORKERS AND ORGANISATION:

Frequently, work underlies self-esteem and identity while unemployment lowers self-worth and produces anxiety. At the same time, monotonous jobs can erode a worker's initiative and enthusiasm and can lead to absenteeism and unnecessary labour turnover. Job satisfaction and occupational success are major factors in personal satisfaction, self-respect, self-esteem, and selfdevelopment. To the worker, job satisfaction brings a pleasurable emotional state that often leads to a positive work attitude. A satisfied worker is more likely to be creative, flexible, innovative, and loyal to the employer. 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 and quality of output per hour workedseems to be a byproduct of improved quality of working life. It is important to note that the literature on the

Acharya institute of graduate studies

Page 2

A study on job satisfaction of employees in ABN AMRO


relationship between job satisfaction and productivity is neither conclusive nor consistent. Unhappy employees, who are motivated by fear of job loss, will not give 100 percent of their effort for very long. Though fear is a powerful motivator, it is also a temporary one, and as soon as the threat is lifted performance will decline.Tangible ways in which job satisfaction benefits the organization include reduction in complaints and grievances, absenteeism, turnover, and termination.

FACTORS AFFECTING JOB SATISFACTION:

Organizations can help to create job satisfaction by putting systems in place that will ensure that workers are challenged and then rewarded for being successful. Organizations that aspire to create a work environment that enhances job satisfaction need to incorporate the following

Flexible work arrangements. Training and other professional growth opportunities. Interesting work that offers variety and challenge and allows the worker opportunities to put his or her signature on the finished product.

Opportunities to use one's talents and to be creative. Opportunities to take responsibility and direct one's own work. A stable, secure work environment that includes job security/continuity Up-to-date technology Competitive salary and opportunities for promotion

Probably the most important point to bear in mind when considering job satisfaction is that there are many factors that affect job satisfaction and that

Page 3

what makes workers happy with their jobs varies from one worker to another and from day to day. Apart from the factors mentioned above, job satisfaction is also influenced by the employee's personal characteristics, the manager's personal characteristics and management style, and the nature of the work itself. Managers who want to maintain a high level of job satisfaction in the work force must try to understand the needs of each member of the work force. For example, a person who does not pay attention to detail would hardly make a good inspector, and a shy worker is unlikely to be a good salesperson. As much as possible, managers should match job tasks to employees' personalities. Managers who are serious about the job satisfaction of workers can also take other deliberate steps to create a stimulating work environment. One such step is job enrichment. Job enrichment is a deliberate upgrading of responsibility, scope, and challenge in the work itself. Job enrichment usually includes increased responsibility, recognition, and opportunities for growth, learning, and achievement. Large companies that have used job-enrichment programs to increase employee motivation and job satisfaction include AT&T, IBM, and General Motors Job characteristics such as pay, promotional opportunity, task clarity and significance, and skills utilization, as well as organizational characteristics such as commitment and relationship with supervisors and co-workers, have significant effects on job satisfaction. These job characteristics can be carefully managed to enhance job satisfaction. Of course, a worker who takes some responsibility for his or her job satisfaction will probably find many more satisfying elements in the work environment.

A study on job satisfaction of employees in ABN AMRO WORKERS' ROLES IN JOB SATISFACTION:

If job satisfaction is a worker benefit, surely the worker must be able to contribute to his or her own satisfaction and well-being on the job. The following suggestions can help a worker find personal job satisfaction. Seek opportunities to demonstrate skills and talents. This often leads to more challenging work and greater responsibilities, with attendant increases in pay and other recognition. Develop excellent communication skills. Employers value and reward excellent reading, listening, writing, and communication skills. Demonstrate creativity and initiative. Qualities like these are valued by most organizations and often result in recognition as well as in increased responsibilities and rewards. Develop teamwork and people skills. A large part of job success is ability to work well with others to get the job done. Accept the diversity in people. Accept people with their differences and the

their imperfections and learn how to give and receive criticism constructively. See the value in your work. Appreciating the significance of what one

does can lead to satisfaction with the work itself. This helps to give meaning to one's existence, thus playing a vital role in job satisfaction.

A study on job satisfaction of employees in ABN AMRO JOB SATISFACTION AND PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS:
When a person comes to work, he brings with him his total personality, his attitudes, likes and dislikes, his personal characteristics and these, in turn, influence the satisfaction he derives from his work. As work is one of the necessary aspects of the total life experience of an individual, it becomes important to examine how his personal characteristics influence his job satisfaction. Personal characteristics here refer to such bio-social variables as age, marital status, education, length of service etc.

Age:
The relationship between age and job satisfaction could be complex. Generally one would expect that as the person would grow older he would get greater satisfaction with his job particularly because of the experience and, therefore, the ease with which he would be able to perform it.

Marital status:
Generally one would assume that with increasing responsibilities placed on an individual because of marriage, he would value his job little more than an unmarried employee. But the results seem to suggest that generally marital status has nothing to do with job satisfaction.

A study on job satisfaction of employees in ABN AMRO Education:


Most studies show no relationship between job satisfaction and education. However, it is reasonable to assume that the more educated would be more frustrated in routine jobs.

Years of experience:
A person goes by a general understanding; perhaps a person who is just starting his career would be more satisfied with it because of initial enthusiasm which might wear off after a while. However, as soon as he reaches a period close to retirement, his satisfaction should again increase because of the lack of alternative.

Measurement of Job Satisfaction:


Measurement of job satisfaction has come to acquire the same fate as the measurement of intelligence. Since there is no agreement on a specific definition, generally questionnaires are developed to measure satisfaction with various aspect of work and the resultant behaviour or score is called job satisfaction. Today as intelligence is defined as what is measured by intelligence test, job satisfaction can also be defined as what is measured by job questionnaire. According to Locke (1969) such an approach describes that a certain relationship works but tells nothing as to why it works. Researchers have been found to be more interested in choosing the unit of measurement from the several available but little by way of a definition of job satisfaction has

Acharya institute of graduate studies

Page 7

A study on job satisfaction of employees in ABN AMRO


been attempted. One would assume the acceptance of a definition of job satisfaction as a precursor for the choice of the unit of measurement. Despite these numerous attempts in the past, the earliest of all the known scales of measuring job satisfaction is that by Hoppock (1935). He developed essentially four items, each one with seven alternative responses. But Hoppock takes the average of the four items (range 100-700) for developing the satisfaction index.

RESULT OF JOB SATISFACTION/DISSATISFACTION:


Job satisfaction or dissatisfaction will reflect in employees behaviours in many different ways. We shall see a few of them here.

Performance:

Conventional wisdom says that job satisfaction should be related to job performance. A happy employee is expected to be a productive employee too! Studies have established that the correlation between these two variables are rather modest. The magnitude of correlation between job performance and job satisfaction is unexpectedly low. However, it should be considered to be a conservative lower bound estimate in the light of problems with job performance measures. Supervisor ratings have been used in most studies as the job performance measure

A study on job satisfaction of employees in ABN AMRO Withdrawal Behavior:

Many theories hypothesize that people; who dislike their jobs will avoid them, either permanently by quitting or temporarily by being absent or coming in late. These withdrawal behaviours have been given more attention than any other in job satisfaction research. Mitra, Jenkins, and Gupta (1992) noted that many researchers consider absence and turnover to be related phenomena that have the same underlying motivation to escape a dissatisfying job.

Absence:

Correlations between job satisfaction and absence are usually quite small. Occasionally, researchers have found correlations that are larger. For example, Tharenou (1993) found a -0.34 correlation in her study. She used complex statistical procedures to test for the direction of causality. Interestingly, her results suggested that absence that is under the employees control might cause job satisfaction rather than the opposite. Her explanation is that people who are absent make negative attributions about their employers to justify their behaviour. In other words, to rationalize being absent, a person might focus on the negative aspects of work, such as unfair treatment. This could affect job satisfaction in a negative way.

Acharya institute of graduate studies

Page 9

A study on job satisfaction of employees in ABN AMRO Turnover:

Most theories of turnover view it as the result of employee job dissatisfaction (Bluedorn 1982; Mobley, Griffith, Hand, & Meglino, 1979). People who

dislike their jobs will try to find alternative employment. Studies have been reasonably consistent in showing a correlation between job satisfaction and turnover (Crampton & Wagner 1994; Hulin, Roznowski & Hachiya, 1985). Furthermore, it seems certain that this correlation is causal, i.e., job dissatisfaction leads to turnover.

ASSURING JOB SATISFACTION:

Assuring job satisfaction, over the long-term, requires careful planning and effort both by management and by workers. Creating a good blend of factors that contribute to a stimulating, challenging, supportive, and rewarding work environment is vital. Because of the relative prominence of pay in the reward system, it is very important that salaries be tied to job responsibilities and that pay increases be tied to performance rather than seniority. So, in essence, job satisfaction is a product of the events and conditions that people experience on their jobs. "If a person's work is interesting, her pay is fair, her promotional opportunities are good, her supervisor is supportive, and her coworkers are friendly, then a situational approach leads one to predict she is satisfied with her job" Very simply output, if the pleasures associated with one's job outweigh the pains, there is some level of job satisfaction.

RESEARCH DESIGN
INTRODUCTION:

Job satisfaction describes how content an individual is with his or her job. It is a relatively recent term since in previous centuries the jobs available to a particular person were often predetermined by the occupation of that persons parent. There are a variety of factors that can influence a persons level of job satisfaction; some of these factors include the level of pay and benefits, the perceived fairness of promotion systems within the company, the quality of the working conditions, leadership and social relationships and job itself. The happier an individual is within their job, the more satisfied they are said to be. Job satisfaction is not the same as motivation although it is clearly linked. Job satisfaction is a very important attitude which is frequently measured by organization. Job Satisfaction refers to measuring the level of job satisfaction of the employees in an organization as it is very essential to know how far an employee is satisfied with his job.

Introduction of Banking Industry


Without a sound and effective banking system a country cannot have a healthy economy. The banking system of any country should not only be hassle free but it should be able to meet new challenges posed by the technology and any other external and internal factors. The evolution of banking dates back to the earliest writing, and continues in the present where a financial institution that provides banking and other financial services. Currently the term banks generally understood as an institution that holds a banking license. Banking licenses are granted by financial supervision authorities and provide rights to conduct the most fundamental banking services such as accounting deposits and leading loans. There are also financial institutions that provide certain a banking service without meeting the legal definition of a bank, a so-called non-bank. Banks a sub set of financial service industry. Tech banking is considered as the mantra in to days banking scenario. ATMs networking, telephone banking, on line banking etc; have become a reality today in the international and domestic banking arena. Plastic money (credit and debit cards) is being preferred over actual cash. Mergers and acquisition among the banks has been found as an effective tool in strengthening the financial sector. There has been a major thrust in the business activity of scheduled commercial banks (SCBs). Traditional SCBs were prime leaders for working capital loans and the term loans financed by financial institutions. Now banks are providing term loans while financial institutions are venturing.

BANKING SYSTEM IN INDIA:


For the past three decades Indias banking system has several outstanding achievements to its credit. The most striking is its extensive reach. It is no longer confined to only metropolitans or cosmopolitans in India. In fact, India banking system has reached even to remote corners of the country. This is one of the main reasons for Indias growth process. The first bank in India, though conservative was established in 1786. From 1786 till today, the journey of Indian Banking System can be segregated into here distinct phases.

Acharya institute of graduate studies

Page 20

They are as mentioned below: Early phase form 1786 to 1969 of Indian Banks. Nationalization of Indian Banks and up to 1991 prior to Indian Banking sector Reforms. New phase of Indian Banking System with the advent of Indian Financial and Banking sector Reforms after 1991.

The modern banking system of India started with establishment of the first joint stock bank. The General Bank of India in the year 1786. After this first bank, Bank of Hindustan and Bengal Bank came to existence. In the mid of 19 th century East India Company established three banks, The Bank Of Bengal in 1809, The Bank Of Bombay in 1840, and The Bank Of Madras in 1843. These banks were independent units and called PRESIDENCYBANK. These three banks were amalgamated in 1920 and a new bank IMPERIAL BANK OF INDIA was established. After independence the IMPERIAL BANK OF INDIA was nationalized with a new name STATE BANK OF INDIA by passing State Bank of India act 1955. The RESERVE BANK OF INDIA as a Central Bank was nationalized in the year 1935. Several new banks as Punjab National Bank, Bank Of Baroda, Canara Bank, India Bank, Bank of India etc were established after independence. On July 19, 1969 14 major banks were nationalized. At present the number of nationalized banks are 20. Several Foreign banks were allowed to operate as per the guidelines of RBI. At present the banking system can be classified in following categories:

All the types of banks have a centralized control of RBI. All the banks have to follow the guidelines of RBI. Government used banks to provide credit and loan to weaker section. This lead to a serious crisis of unrecoverable debt. At the end of 1990 banks were saddled with NPA (Non Performing Assets) as a bad and unrecoverable debt touched to Rs.75, 000 crore. Foreign Banks in India stated to lure customers by good services. These banks were more automated, providing faster information, kept flexible working hours and introduced 24 hrs ATMs. Today Private Indian Banks as well as Nationalized Banks are offering better services and attempting to get on to the path of comprehensive automation. The banking section will navigate through all the aspects of the Banking System in India. It will discuss upon the matter with the birth of the banking concept in the country to the new players adding their names in the industry in coming few years. Currently, overall, banking in India is considered as fairly matured in terms of supply, production range and reach even through reach in rural India still remains a challenge for the private sector and foreign banks. Even in terms of quality of assets and capital adequacy, India banks are considered to have clean, strong and transparent balance sheets as compared to other banks in comparable economies in its region.

A study on job satisfaction of employees in ABN AMRO CHALLENGES & FUTURES IN BANKING INDUSTRY Mergers in the Banking, NPA, New Technology, Electronic Cash Transfer:
After the nationalization of Banks, increasing adoption of technology, continuous mergers in the banking, modernizing backroom operation in the banks and competition by the more customers focused Private Sector entrants. This competition forced older and nationalized banks to revitalize their operation.

But along with the continuous growth and modernization, there are several challenges confronting the banking sector. The main challenges faced by the banking sector are the deployment of funds in quality assets and management of revenues and cost. The problem of NAP (non- performing asset), overall credit recovery system still exists. There is a continuous reforms and modernization is in process.

Nationalized Banks are also attempting to get on the path of automation. Strong Banks will acquire the weaker banks. The member of foreign banks operating in India has increased significantly and there of total has also increased. In the year 2007 estimated foreign banks account was 15.2 percent of the total net profit of Commercial Banking in India.

Participation in decision making increases job involvement reduces ambiguity and conflict. If the employees are invited to participate in decision making within the organizational guidelines this would make employees feel better. Reinforce a team concept, praise the entire team effort. Build a learning organization where knowledge and skills are shared freely among the employees. Attract and retaining employees has become the biggest challenge in all organization. So organization has to follow some HR policies which help in retaining employees. Use concept of We and Our. This gives people a sense of ownership in what they are doing as a group.

Finally all the organization must try to obtain a win- win situation by providing attractive work environment to their employees, for their mutual benefit.
