A Comparative Study of Employee-attitude of Permanent and Temporary Employees of Selected Public Undertakings

“Happy employees are productive employees.” “Happy employees are not productive employees.” We often hear these conflicting comments made by HR professionals and managers working in organizations. (Lise M. Saari and Timothy A. Judge, 2004). So there is a chance of huge confusion and debate on the topic of employee attitude and even when employees are becoming increasingly important for organizational success. Now-a-days, instead of offering permanent employment, organizations are considering people in various temporary assignments for fulfillment of their purposes. At present, the temporary work-force is a small but going to increase in proportion of the labour market in most of the industrialized countries like India as well where problem lies in unemployment and huge population outburst. Undoubtedly, some benefits (such as minimization of employee cost, saving of time etc.) are available in such type of employment but there are some problems as well. The major problem lies in the areas of job satisfaction, job involvement, organizational commitment and their work-attitude as a whole. So, in our present study we will try to find out the indifferences lying with the temporary assigned employees and how these indifferences can be handled out properly from empirical point of view.
