An analysis of job satisfaction of employees (A study on BHEL public sector of Uttarakhand)

The term “Job Satisfaction” was first described by Hoppock (1935) was observed that job satisfaction is the combination of Psychological and Environmental circumstances that cause a person to say “I am satisfied with my job.” While there have many debates on the concept of job satisfaction, in most studies it is described as how people feel about their jobs and its different aspects. It is the extent to which people like (satisfaction) or dislike (dissatisfaction) their jobs (Spector1997). However a more direct description is provided by Saiyadain (2007) who defines job satisfaction as the end state of feeling, the feeling that is experienced after a task is accomplished. Researchers have tried to make an attempt to define the research, identification of research and study design, hypothesis, and study population, sampling distribution technique (multi stage purposive sampling) to draw required sample size, sampling unit and sampling framework with proper justification. In second stage, (actually doing) data is collected from respondents (managers, supervisors and workers) of BHEL public sector organization of Uttarakhand. Data was compiled through Excel & analyzed by statistical tools and techniques like, percentage, average job satisfaction scores of the employees and Chi-square test then proper interpretation is made with regard to the study.
