Abstract

Indian textile industry is facing a lot of challenges in the national as well as in the international market. Being the second largest industry in India, still it has to face a lot of problems to make ensure its presence. An empirical study of this industry would help in determining the extent to which various human resource (HR) practices like training and development, compensation, career planning and promotion and transfer influenced the job satisfaction of managerial employees. For the purpose of research, a sample of 227 managerial employees in the textile industry of India had been reported. We had tried to find out the relation between the job-satisfaction level and various HR practices mentioned above. The result shows that there is a significant positive relationship between the dependent variable job satisfaction and independent variables mentioned above. The results also show that the training and development followed by compensation have a greater impact on the job-satisfaction level.
