In today’s environment, organizations thrive and survive on human resources. Values, attitude, perception and behavior of employees, which form this resource, influence their performance. Therefore, it has become important to realize organizational and individual goals, which in turn depend on self-motivation and self-satisfaction. Satisfaction expresses the level of agreement between the expectation of a worker from his job and the reward that the job provides. The different demographic traits such as age, education, position, years in service and hours worked per week have significant impact on job satisfaction. The study aims to measure the level of satisfaction among employees and the impact of different parameters on the job satisfaction of employees. The different parameters used are general working conditions, pay and promotion potential, superior-subordinate relationships and skills and abilities.

Job satisfaction is a part of life satisfaction. There should not be any doubt that a happy worker is a productive worker. Employees’ high morale and satisfaction increase productivity, as seen in Hawthorne studies conducted in an electrical plan in Chicago. The nature of work environment has a role in job satisfaction. However, a comprehensive approach is must to understand job satisfaction which includes factors like employees’ age, health, education, social status, level of aspiration, recreational outlets, activities in the organization, etc. These factors have a significant impact on employees’ job satisfaction. Each of these factors has its own role in one’s need and expectation from the job.

Luthans (2005) defines job satisfaction as a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job or job experience. Perception plays an important role in job satisfaction because job satisfaction is the result of the perception of the employee towards his job and how the job has been able to fulfill all his needs and expectations which are important for him.

Chandan (1997) views job satisfaction as the extent of positive feeling or attitude that individuals have towards their job. When a person says that he has high job satisfaction, it means that he really likes his job, feels good about it, and values his job highly. Highly satisfied workers have better physical and mental wellbeing.

According to Ashwathapa (2008), job satisfaction is the amount of overall positive effect or feeling that individuals have towards their jobs. Employees have the tendency to view their work with unfavorable and favorable feelings. It is the amount of pleasure or contentment associated with job. If you like your job intensely you will experience high job satisfaction; if you dislike your job intensely, you will experience job dissatisfaction.
