Correlation between employee satisfaction and work efficiency with respect to manufacturing Industries in Vidarbha

Abstract

Motivating employees to perform to their maximum potential in their jobs is one of the key elements in modem Human Resource Management. It is believed that when an employee is motivated, he or she will be generally satisfied with his job and because that he is happy, he will be able to give his best efforts and contribution to the job assign to him. However, there are various types of motivation to everyone, and usually it may not be the same for each employee in the company or in that particular department. Employee motivation can be varied due to a number of dependent variables like personal needs, external rewards, recognition, self-actualization and self-esteem. This can be found in many previous studies and literatures. In this research study, the researcher reviewed the various motivation factors and examined various employees' demographics like age, gender, education and job tenure that may link to their level of job satisfaction and as a result achieves better performance in their work. Descriptive analysis using quantitative approach was employed through a survey questionnaire posted to 700 employees in the selected industries. Factors like remuneration, job security, teamwork, relations with clients and higher authorities, recognition, sense of given authority and autonomy, promotion and fringe benefits, challenging activities and fear of failures are asked in the questionnaire and the results were analyzed to observe the correlation between employee satisfaction and work efficiency. It could be stated that job satisfaction determines organisational performance, rather than organisational performance determining job satisfaction.
