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.
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

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

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.
Page 6
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.
Page 7
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
Page 8
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.
Page 9
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, 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. Employee satisfaction or dissatisfaction in the job will reflect in many ways such as quality and quantity of output absenteeism, turnover etc. Employees attitude relating to job satisfaction and job involvement plays a vital role in organization behaviour and practice of Human Resource Management.

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:

Page 22
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.
