Abstract

In Human resource is cogitated to be the most precious asset in any organization. It is the sum-total of inherent abilities, acquired knowledge and skills represented by the talents and aptitudes of the employed persons who comprises executives, supervisors and the rank and file employees. It may be noted here that human resource should be utilized to the maximum possible extent, in order to achieve individual and organizational goals. It is thus the employee’s performance which ultimately decides the attainment of goals. However, the employee performance is to a large extent influenced by motivation and job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is any combination of psychological, physiological and environmental circumstances that cause a person to truthfully say, “I am satisfied with my job”. Job satisfaction is the employee’s judgement of how well his job on the whole, is satisfying his various needs. This is mainly based on an individual’s perception on satisfaction. Job satisfaction can be influenced by a person’s ability to complete required tasks, the level of communication in an organization and the way management treat its employees. If an individual is not satisfied with the working conditions, office atmosphere, having no cordial relation with fellow employees as well as with the management, lack of promotional avenues etc., there can never be satisfaction in an organization. The satisfaction or dissatisfaction from the job leads to the psychological problem of morale. Employee morale is the description of emotions, attitude, satisfaction and overall outlook of employees during their time in a workplace environment.
