PREFACE
The project work entitled A STUDY ON JOB SATISFACTION OF
EMPLOYEES OF NIELSEN Job Satisfaction is the favorableness or unfavorableness with which the employee views his work. It expresses the
amount of agreement between ones expectation of the job and the rewards
that the job provides. Job Satisfaction is a part of life satisfaction. The nature
of ones environment of job is an important part of life as Job Satisfaction
influences ones general life satisfaction.
Job Satisfaction, thus, is the result of various attitudes possessed by an
employee. In a narrow sense, these attitudes are related to the job under
condition with such specific factors such as wages. Supervisors of
employment, conditions of work, social relation on the job, prompt settlement
of grievances and fair treatment by employer.
However, more comprehensive approach requires that many factors are to be
included before a complete understanding of job satisfaction can be obtained.
Such factors as employees age, health temperature, desire and level of

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Research Program is a vehicle, which introduces and exposes a management student to the real
life situation in a process of learning which would ordinarily have not been possible in the class.
NEILSEN gave me this opportunity to face the real life situation and learn essentials of working
in an organization. My project was enhancing employee productivity through hr intervention in
NEILSEN. I did a research of 50 employee .For the first month I concentrated on the recruitment
of the employee under the guidance manger and my guide _________________________ whose
words of encouragement and regular instructions and feedback helped me in giving my best
performance.
The research helped me in understanding the job satisfaction of the employees. The research
was also an enriching experience as I got to know the needs and the expectations of the
employees who are apparently the back bone of the industry. Most of the employees working
here are motivated by the kind of money they can make in the business provided they work hard.
They realize that with some support from their management and their hard work they will be able
to earn good money, and also looks for a great career opportunity here.
Although they have a few issues which might need some attention for example the
requirement of soft skill and telephone etiquette development classes in the training module and
a more spontaneous and cooperative support from the camp shop. By and large the satisfaction
level of the employee is high and a majority of them are happy with their personal growth.

COMPANY HISTORY
device that was attached to a television that recorded what was being watched. In
1953, the company began sending out diaries to a smaller sample of homes
(Nielsen families) within the research to have them record what they had
watched.[4] This data was put together with information from the devices. This
combination of data allowed the company to statistically estimate the number of
Americans watching TV and the demographic breakdown of viewers. [4] This
became an important tool for advertisers and networks.
In the 1980s, the company launched a new measurement device known as the
people meter. The device resembles a remote control with buttons for each
individual family member and extras for guests. Viewers push a button to signify
when they are in the room and push it again when they leave, even if the TV is still
on. This form of measurement was intended to provide a more accurate picture of
who was watching and when.
In July 2008, Nielsen released the first in a series of quarterly reports, detailing
video and TV usage across the three screens Television, Internet and Mobile
devices. The A2/M2 Three Screen Report also includes trends in timeshifted
viewing behavior and its relationship to online video viewing, a demographic
breakdown of mobile video viewers and DVR penetration.
Mergers, acquisitions, strategic alliances and divestitures
Nielsen was acquired by the Dun & Bradstreet Company in 1984. In 1996, D&B
divided the company into two separate companies: Nielsen Media Research, which
was responsible for TV ratings, and AC Nielsen, which was responsible for
consumer shopping trends and box-office data. In 1999, Nielsen Media Research
was acquired by the Dutch publishing company VNU (Verenigde Nederlandse
13
Uitgeverijen). VNU later acquired AC Nielsen and recombined the two businesses
in 2001. In between, VNU sold off its newspaper properties to Wegener and its
consumer magazines to Sanoma. The company's publishing arm also owned
several
publications
including The
Hollywood
Reporter and Billboard magazine. VNU combined the Nielsen properties with
other research and data collection units including BASES, Claritas, HCI and
Spectra. VNU also acquired companies that added to its measurement capabilities.
In 2004, Nielsen began a joint venture called AGB Nielsen Media Research
with WPP Group's AGB Group, a European competitor which provides similar
services.
In 2006, VNU acquired a majority stake in Buzzmetrics, a company which
measures consumer-generated media online. Under the new ownership, Nielsen
bought the remaining shares of the company in 2007. In the same year, Nielsen
acquired Telephia, which measures mobile media, and Bilesim Medya, a Turkish
advertising intelligence firm.
In 2006, VNU was acquired by a group of six private equity firms: the
American Kohlberg
Group, Vehiclelyle
Kravis
Roberts, Thomas
Groupand Hellman
&
H.
Lee
Friedman,
Partners, Blackstone
and
Dutch
equity
firm AlpInvest Partners for 5bn. In the same year, the group hired David L.
Calhoun, formerly of General Electric, as CEO. He renamed VNU as The Nielsen
Company in 2007.
In 2006, VNU sold its business publications division for 320m (210m) to
venture capital group 3i, which then sold the UK division (VNU Business
Publications Ltd) toIncisive Media.
14
In 2008, Nielsen acquired IAG Research which measures viewer engagement with
TV commercials.[18] The same year, Nielsen made a strategic investment
inNeuroFocus, a California firm applying neuroscience brainwave techniques for
consumer research. The firm was later fully acquired by Nielsen in 2011 [19] In 2009
and 2010, Nielsen sold its business magazines; its well-known entertainment
properties went to the new company e5 Global Media.
In 2009, Nielsen acquired The Cambridge Group, a management consulting firm
headquartered in Chicago. The Cambridge Group works with CEOs and top
management teams to drive growth. The firm has a distinctive expertise in tapping
into latent and emerging consumer demand, and using these insights to drive
product, service and marketing innovation across consumer-driven businesses.
In June 2010, Nielsen paired with McKinsey & Company to create the social
media consulting company NM Incite. NM Incite has operations in 13 global
markets, including: US, UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, Australia, New Zealand,
China, Japan, India, Brazil, Canada and Korea.
In August 2011, Nielsen acquired Marketing Analytics, Inc. The acquisition
strengthens Nielsen's marketing ROI and marketing mix capabilities.
In February 2012, Nielsen launched The Demand Institute in collaboration
with The Conference Board. The Demand Institute is a non-profit, non-advocacy
organization focused on helping business and government leaders understand how
consumer demand is evolving and shifting around the world.
In July 2012, Nielsen acquired the advertising tech company Vizu. The acquisition
was made so that Nielsen can better analyze the effectiveness of online
advertisement.[23]

HOW WE MEASURE
We live in a world of information, and its growing more expansive every day. So
to stay ahead in an increasingly complex world of data, intelligence, metrics and
messages, its vital to have an accurate read on your consumers, which is precisely
where
our
measurement
capabilities
come
into
play.
Nielsen is a world leader in consumer measurement, and weve got the panels,
databases, methodologies and technology to back it up. These are the key tools we
use to keep our fingers on the pulse of consumers around the world.
Weve developed standards for measurement in every area in which we work.
Some methods are driven by electronic meters that measure audience engagement,
while our more than 250,000 household panelists across 25 countries use in-home
scanners to record their purchases from each shopping trip. And the scanner-based
sales and causal information we gather each week from thousands of retail outlets
helps identify the why as well as the what behind consumer product purchases.
Were also continually expanding our data by conducting millions of researchs
each year that gauge worldwide consumer sentiment across myriad topics spanning
everything from innovation to retail markets to the growing fragmentation within
the digital landscape.
that sheds light on significant opportunities for growth. And this is Nielsens
distinguishing attributethe ability to illuminate an uncommon sense of the
consumer for faster, smarter, better decisions to help your business grow
INNOVATE FOR GROWTH AND CREATE NEW DEMAND
Innovation takes practice, a focus on the fundamentals, and creativity. It takes
attention to detail and a passion for turning great ideas into products that
consumers want. And product development is the start of innovation.
Great innovators make it look easy, almost magical. But into every breakthrough
innovation goes immense time, discipline, and analytics. Thats where we come in.
Nielsen and its strategic partners are backed by 30 years of experience developing,
optimizing and validating product campaigns. In that time, weve evolved an endto-end innovation process that begins by taking a step back and asking, what do
people really want?
It might seem like a simple question, but the truth is, consumers often dont know
themselves. Our innovation approach identifies not only what consumers say they
need, but also needs that havent yet been articulated. Thats where breakthrough
product opportunitiesthose with true potential to achieve sustainable growth for
your businessreside.
But its not only about making things. You also need to package, distribute and
figure out how to market to the people who will benefit most. And timing is
critical; even the best winter coat probably wont sell in the summertime, but a
slight schedule adjustment could make the difference between a tepid launch and
gangbuster sales.
27
Finally, a road map for expanding your product offerings that anticipates
consumers future needs will ensure youre a few moves ahead of the competition.
We can help evolve your strategies so theyll work as well tomorrow as they do
today.
28
29
Once weve created a plan together, well give you the tools to measure its
effectiveness. Consumers are evolving at light speed, but by analyzing the success
of your marketing in real time, we can make in-flight adjustments that can save
millions in ad spend from mismatched campaigns.
We understand that consumer focus is critical to everyones success; lets work
together to put big numbers on your bottom line.

With DVRs, video on demand, game consoles and streaming services, tablets and
smartphones, the way people watch television is changing and the industry is
struggling to keep on top of it all. Even the idea of "watching television" is in flux.
Are you "watching TV" when you stream an episode of "Downton Abbey" on a
tablet?
Nielsen, which has long had a virtual monopoly on the audience statistics that
drive a multi-billion dollar industry, last week took an important step toward
accounting for some of the changes. Starting in September, Nielsen will begin
measuring viewership through broadband devices like game consoles for the first
time. Right now those numbers go uncounted.
"The ratings are a very one-dimensional look at what is happening," said Alan
Wurtzel, top research executive at NBC Universal, "and we now live in a very
multi-dimensional world."
Nielsen's weekly rankings count people who watch a broadcast TV show live or on
their DVRs that same day through midnight on the West Coast. To be sure, this is
still how most people watch television. CBS didn't need anything other than live
numbers to know that its new reality show "The Job" was a flop, and canceled it a
week ago after two episodes.
Through separate, less publicized rankings, Nielsen can also track how many
people see a program on a time-shifted basis. One ranking, which measures live
31
viewership plus those who watch on DVR or video on demand within three days of
the original airing, is what the industry uses to set advertising rates. Other rankings
measure those who watch within a week, or even within a month.
Those numbers can present a much different picture of a program's popularity.
During the last week of January, for example, ABC's "Modern Family" ranked No.
12 for the week with 10.8 million viewers if you count just the people who
watched on Wednesday, Jan. 23. But within seven days, 15.9 million people had
seen the episode, enough to make it the third most popular show of the week
behind two "American Idol" episodes. Fox's "The Following" finished a modest
15th place initially, but its audience jumped by 45 percent over the next week,
enough to lift the show to fourth place.
Meanwhile, almost all of the "60 Minutes" viewing is done live. The CBS
newsmagazine dropped from seventh place in the initial rankings to 15th after a
week.
The time-shifted viewing can change a network's perception of a show. NBC
would have likely canceled "The Office" years ago without this additional
audience. "The idea of how many people are watching a program and Vehicleing
about the show becomes increasingly important, and it is not reflected in the
Tuesday report," Wurtzel said.
CBS considers its freshman drama "Elementary" a case of public perception not
matching reality. Last fall, the show averaged 9.7 million viewers respectable,
but hardly a sensation. But between video on demand, DVRs and streaming, CBS
said an average of 13 million people watched each episode within a month of its
airing.
32
"If the number the press had seen was 13 million instead of 9.7 million, it would
have been seen as a huge hit," said David Poltrack, CBS chief researcher.
In a world where people demand information faster and faster, television
executives are no different. They want ratings NOW. The problem is, all of the
changes in content consumption demand patience. Nielsen's report on how many
people watch a show within seven days isn't released until three weeks after a show
first airs a glacial pace.
"We have to basically train the entire industry to no longer look at the fastest
information, which is preliminary and not necessarily reflective of what the reality
is," Poltrack said.
Nielsen says it regularly discusses how it releases ratings with all of its clients and
there's been no consensus on change. Most people watch their favorite shows as
quickly as they can, said Pat McDonough, Nielsen senior vice president of insights
and analysis.
Each week the average American spends 32 hours and 15 minutes watching live
television, according to a Nielsen study issued last month. More than 12 hours is
spent either watching time-shifted TV or DVDs, playing on game consoles, surfing
the Internet or watching video on computer or mobile devices, the study said.
"The one thing most people don't think about is a lot of the additional viewing is
rolling out slowly over time and right now, live plus same day viewing is the best
way to measure," she said. "It may not be that way five years from now."
Networks dispute the notion that things are changing slowly, although they are
happy that Nielsen will soon be able to estimate how much television is being
33
watched on broadband. There's a limit to the information, though: Nielsen can't yet
tell specifically what programs people are watching this way.
Later this year, Nielsen hopes to roll out a pilot program to identify what people
are watching on iPads. It's unclear when this technology will be available for other
tablet brands or for smartphones.
The company measures some online video streaming and includes it within its
time-shifted reports. However, this picture is partial, too. Nielsen can measure
streamed programs only if they have the same commercials shown on TV, and not
every website does this.
Netflix's release of an entire 13-episode season of the well-reviewed series "House
of Vehicleds" on Feb. 1 was a television landmark, evidence that a lot more
"television" content is coming from non-traditional sources. Nielsen has no idea
how many people have seen "House of Vehicleds," though. Netflix knows. But it
won't tell.
People are increasingly spending time catching up on series they've caught on to
midstream, the phenomenon known as binge viewing. No one really knows who is
spending an evening watching three episodes from the first season of "Homeland"
instead of live TV. Nielsen has an oblique way to illustrate that binge viewing is a
reality: When AMC's "The Walking Dead" returned from a hiatus on Feb. 10, the
12.3 million people who watched that night was a series record and evidence that it
had attracted new fans during a pause in original episodes.
That episode of "The Walking Dead" was the ninth most-watched television show
in prime time that week, but it would have taken some investigation to know that.
34
Nielsen ranks broadcast and cable shows separately even though that distinction
means little to a younger generation of viewers. TV is TV.
Cable networks are in no hurry to change that because, with the exception of the
biggest hits, even relatively unsuccessful broadcast programs get more viewers
than cable.
There's a similar dynamic with PBS. The public broadcasting system generally
doesn't pay Nielsen to have its programs rated, although it will on special
occasions. The 8.2 million people who watched the third-season finale of
"Downton Abbey" on Feb. 17 was more than anything seen on ABC, Fox or NBC
that night. No one would have known that unless they'd seen a report generated by
a PBS press release

CHAPTER-2
LITERATURE REVIEW
JOB SATISFACTION
INTRODUCTION
Job satisfaction is not the same as motivation. It is more if an
attitude, an internal state of the person concerned. It could, for example, be
associated with a personal feeling of achievement.
Job satisfaction is an individuals emotional reaction to the job
itself. It is his attitude towards his job.
Definitions:
Job satisfaction does not seem to reduce absence, turnover and perhaps accident
rates.
-Robert L. Kahn
Job satisfaction is a general attitude towards ones job: the difference between the
amount of reward workers receive and the amount they believe they should
receive.
-P. Robbins
Job satisfaction defines as The amount of over all positive affect (or feeling) that
individuals have toward their jobs.

clothing and provides the means to enjoy valued leisure interest outside of work.
More over, pay can serve as symbol of achievement and a source of recognition.
Employees often see pay as a reflection of organization. Fringe benefits have not
been found to have strong influence on job satisfaction as direct wages.
THE WORK ITSELF
Along with pay, the content of the work itself plays a very major role in
determining how satisfied employees are with their jobs. By and large, workers
want jobs that are challenging; they do want to be doing mindless jobs day after
day. The two most important aspect of the work itself that influence job satisfaction
are variety and control over work methods and work place. In general, job with a
moderate amount of variety produce the most job satisfaction. Jobs with too little
variety cause workers to feel bored and fatigue. Jobs with too much variety and
stimulation cause workers to feel psychologically stressed and burnout.
PROMOTION
Promotional opportunities have a moderate impact on job satisfaction. A promotion
to a higher level in an organization typically involves positive changes I
supervision, job content and pay. Jobs that are at the higher level of an organization
usually provide workers with more freedom, more challenging work assignments
and high salary.
SUPERVISION
Two dimensions of supervisor style:
1. Employee centered or consideration supervisors who establish a supportive
personal relationship with subordinates and take a personal interest in them.
39
Individuals have certain expectations from their jobs. If their expectations are met
from the jobs, they feel satisfied. These expectations are based on an individuals
level of education, age and other factors.
Level of education:
Level of education of an individual is a factor which determines the degree of job
satisfaction. For example, several studies have found negative correlation between
the level of education, particularly higher level of education, and job satisfaction.
The possible reason for this phenomenon may be that highly educated persons
have very high expectations from their jobs which remain unsatisfied. In their case,
Peters principle which suggests that every individual tries to reach his level of
incompetence, applies more quickly.
Age:
Individuals experience different degree of job satisfaction at different stages of
their life. Job satisfaction is high at the initial stage, gets gradually reduced, starts
rising upto certain stage, and finally dips to a low degree. The possible reasons for
this phenomenon are like this. When individuals join an organization, they may
have some unrealistic assumptions about what they are going to drive from their
work. These assumptions make them more satisfied. However, when these
assumptions fall short of reality, job satisfaction goes down. It starts rising again as
the people start to assess the jobs in right perspective and correct their
assumptions. At the last, particularly at the fag end of the career, job satisfaction
goes down because of fear of retirement and future outcome.
Other factors:
41
Besides the above two factors, there are other individual factors which affect job
satisfaction. If an individual does not have favourable social and family life, he
may not feel happy at the workplace. Similarly, other personal problems associated
with him may affect his level of job satisfaction. Personal problems associated with
him may affect his level of job satisfaction.
Nature of job:
Nature of job determines job satisfaction which is in the form of occupation level
and job content.
Occupation level:
Higher level jobs provide more satisfaction as compared to lower levels. This
happens because high level jobs carry prestige and status in the society which itself
becomes source of satisfaction for the job holders.
For example, professionals derive more satisfaction as compared to salaried
people: factory workers are least satisfied.
Job content:
Job content refers to the intrinsic value of the job which depends on the
requirement of skills for performing it, and the degree of responsibility and growth
it offers. A higher content of these factors provides higher satisfaction. For
example, a routine and repetitive lesser satisfaction; the degree of satisfaction
progressively increases in job rotation, job enlargement, and job enrichment.
Situational variables:
Situational variables related to job satisfaction lie in organizational context
formal and informal. Formal organization emerges out of the interaction of
42
individuals in the organization. Some of the important factors which affect job
important factors which affect job satisfaction are given below:
1. Working conditions:
Working conditions, particularly physical work environment, like conditions of
workplace and associated facilities for performing the job determine job
satisfaction. These work in two ways. First, these provide means job performance.
Second, provision of these conditions affects the individuals perception about the
organization. If these factors are favourable, individuals experience higher level of
job satisfaction.
2. Supervision:
The type of supervision affects job satisfaction as in each type of supervision; the
degree of importance attached to individuals varies. In employee-oriented
supervision, there is more concern for people which is perceived favourably by
them and provides them more satisfaction. In job oriented supervision, there is
more emphasis on the performance of the job and people become secondary. This
situation decreases job satisfaction
.
3. Equitable rewards:
The type of linkage that is provided between job performance and rewards
determines the degree of job satisfaction. If the reward is perceived to be based on
the job performance and equitable, it offers higher satisfaction. If the reward is
perceived to be based on considerations other than the job performance, it affects
job satisfaction adversely.
4. Opportunity:
43
It is true that individuals seek satisfaction in their jobs in the context of job nature
and work environment by they also attach importance to opportunities for
promotion that these job offer. If the present job offers opportunity of promotion is
lacking, it reduces satisfaction.
1. Work group: Individuals work in group either created formally of they
develop on their own to seek emotional satisfaction at the workplace. To the
extent such groups are cohesive; the degree of satisfaction is high. If the
group is not cohesive, job satisfaction is low. In a cohesive group, people
derive satisfaction out of their interpersonal interaction and workplace
becomes satisfying leading to job satisfaction.
Job satisfaction has a variety of effects. These effects may be seen in the context of
an individuals physical and mental health, productivity, absenteeism, and turnover.
Physical and Mental Health:
The degree of job satisfaction affects an individuals physical and
mental health. Since job satisfaction is a type of mental feeling, its favourableness
or unfavourablesness affects the individual psychologically which ultimately
affects his physical health.
For example, Lawler has pointed out that drug abuse, alcoholism and mental and
physical health result from psychologically harmful jobs. Further, since a job is an
important part of life, job satisfaction influences general life satisfaction. The result
44
is that there is spillover effect which occurs in both directions between job and life
satisfaction.
Productivity:
There are two views about the relationship between job satisfaction and
productivity:
1. A happy worker is a productive worker,
2. A happy worker is not necessarily a productive worker.
The first view establishes a direct cause-effect relationship between job
satisfaction and productivity; when job satisfaction increases, productivity
increases; when satisfaction decreases, productivity decreases. The basic logic
behind this is that a happy worker will put more efforts for job performance.
However, this may not be true in all cases.
For example, a worker having low expectations from his jobs may feel satisfied but
he may not put his efforts more vigorously because of his low expectations from
the job. Therefore, this view does not explain fully the complex relationship
between job satisfaction and productivity.
The another view: That is a satisfied worker is not necessarily a productive worker
explains the relationship between job satisfaction and productivity. Various
research studies also support this view.
This relationship may be explained in terms of the operation of two factors: effect
of job performance on satisfaction and organizational expectations from
45
individuals for job performance. 1. Job performance leads to job satisfaction and
not the other way round. The basic factor for this phenomenon is the rewards (a
source of satisfaction) attached with performance. There are two types of
rewardsintrinsic and extrinsic. The intrinsic reward stems from the job itself which
may be in the form of growth potential, challenging job, etc. The satisfaction on
such a type of reward may help to increase productivity. The extrinsic reward is
subject to control by management such as salary, bonus, etc. Any increase in these
factors does not hep to increase productivity though these factors increase job
satisfaction.
1. A happy worker does not necessarily contribute to higher productivity
because he has to operate under certain technological constraints and,
therefore, he cannot go beyond certain output. Further, this constraint
affects the managements expectations from the individual in the form of
lower output. Thus, the work situation is pegged to minimally acceptable
level of performance. However, it does not mean that the job satisfaction
has no impact o productivity. A satisfied worker may not necessarily lead to
increased productivity but a dissatisfied worker leads to lower productivity.

absence due to some unavoidable reasons. It is the former type of absence which is
a matter of concern. This absence is due to lack of satisfaction from the job which
produces a lack of will to work and alienate a worker form work as for as
possible. Thus, job satisfaction is related to absenteeism.

punctuality and worker morale. Job satisfaction is also linked to a more healthy work
force and has been found to be a good indicator of longevity. And although only little
correlation has been found between job satisfaction and productivity, Brown (1996) notes
that some employers have found that satisfying or delighting employees is a prerequisite
to satisfying or delighting customers, thus protecting the "bottom line." No wonder
Andrew Carnegie is quoted as saying: "Take away my people, but leave my factories,
and soon grass will grow on the factory floors. Take away my factories, but leave my
people, and soon we will have a new and better factory"
SATISFIED EMPLOYEE

Probably the most important point to bear in mind when considering job satisfaction is
that there are many factors that affect job satisfaction and that what makes workers happy
with their jobs varies from one worker to another and from day to day. Apart from the
factors mentioned above, job satisfaction is also influenced by the employee's personal
characteristics, the manager's personal characteristics and management style, and the
nature of the work itself. Managers who want to maintain a high level of job satisfaction
in the work force must try to understand the needs of each member of the work force.
For example, when creating work teams, managers can enhance worker satisfaction by
placing people with similar backgrounds, experiences, or needs in the same workgroup.
Also, managers can enhance job satisfaction by carefully matching workers with the type
of work.
For example, a person who does not pay attention to detail would hardly make a good
inspector, and a shy worker is unlikely to be a good salesperson. As much as possible,
managers should match job tasks to employees' personalities.
Managers who are serious about the job satisfaction of workers can also take other
deliberate steps to create a stimulating work environment. One such step is job
enrichment. Job enrichment is a deliberate upgrading of responsibility, scope, and
challenge in the work itself. Job enrichment usually includes increased responsibility,
recognition, and opportunities for growth, learning, and achievement. Large companies
that have used job-enrichment programs to increase employee motivation and job
satisfaction.
Good management has the potential for creating high morale, high productivity, and a
sense of purpose and meaning for the organization and its employees. Empirical findings
show that job characteristics such as pay, promotional opportunity, task clarity and
55
56
If job satisfaction is a worker benefit, surely the worker must be able to contribute to his
or her own satisfaction and well-being on the job. The following suggestions can help a
worker find personal job satisfaction:
Seek opportunities to demonstrate skills and talents. This often leads to more
challenging work and greater responsibilities, with attendant increases in pay
and other recognition.
Develop excellent communication skills. Employers value and reward excellent
reading, listening, writing, and speaking skills.
57
Know more. Acquire new job-related knowledge that helps you to perform
tasks more efficiently and effectively. This will relieve boredom and often gets
one noticed.
Demonstrate creativity and initiative. Qualities like these are valued by most
organizations and often result in recognition as well as in increased
responsibilities and rewards.
Develop teamwork and people skills. A large part of job success is the ability to
work well with others to get the job done.
Accept the diversity in people. Accept people with their differences and their
imperfections and learn how to give and receive criticism constructively.
See the value in your work. Appreciating the significance of what one does can
lead to satisfaction with the work itself. This helps to give meaning to one's
existence, thus playing a vital role in job satisfaction.
Learn to de-stress. Plan to avoid burnout by developing healthy stressmanagement techniques.

Affect Theory
Edwin A. Lockes Range of Affect Theory (1976) is arguably the most famous job
satisfaction model. The main premise of this theory is that satisfaction is
determined by a discrepancy between what one wants in a job and what one has in
a job. Further, the theory states that how much one values a given facet of work
(e.g. the degree of autonomy in a position) moderates how satisfied/dissatisfied one
becomes when expectations are/arent met. When a person values a particular facet
of a job, his satisfaction is more greatly impacted both positively (when
expectations are met) and negatively (when expectations are not met), compared to
one who doesnt value that facet. To illustrate, if Employee A values autonomy in
the workplace and Employee B is indifferent about autonomy, then Employee A
would be more satisfied in a position that offers a high degree of autonomy and
less satisfied in a position with little or no autonomy compared to Employee B.
This theory also states that too much of a particular facet will produce stronger
feelings of dissatisfaction the more a worker values that facet.
Dispositional Theory
Another well-known job satisfaction theory is the Dispositional Theory ]. It is a
very general theory that suggests that people have innate dispositions that cause
them to have tendencies toward a certain level of satisfaction, regardless of ones
job. This approach became a notable explanation of job satisfaction in light of
62
evidence that job satisfaction tends to be stable over time and across careers and
jobs. Research also indicates that identical twins have similar levels of job
satisfaction.
A significant model that narrowed the scope of the Dispositional Theory was the
Core Self-evaluations Model, proposed by Timothy A. Judge in 1998. Judge argued
that there are four Core Self-evaluations that determine ones disposition towards
job satisfaction: self-esteem, general self-efficacy, locus of control, and
neuroticism. This model states that higher levels of self-esteem (the value one
places on his/her self) and general self-efficacy (the belief in ones own
competence) lead to higher work satisfaction. Having an internallocus of control
(believing one has control over her\his own life, as opposed to outside forces
having control) leads to higher job satisfaction. Finally, lower levels of neuroticism
lead to higher job satisfaction[].
Two-Factor Theory (Motivator-Hygiene Theory)
Frederick Herzbergs Two factor theory (also known as Motivator Hygiene
Theory) attempts to explain satisfaction and motivation in the workplace This
theory states that satisfaction and dissatisfaction are driven by different factors
motivation and hygiene factors, respectively. An employees motivation to work is
continually related to job satisfaction of a subordinate. Motivation can be seen as
an inner force that drives individuals to attain personal and organization goals
(Hoskinson, Porter, & Wrench, p.133). Motivating factors are those aspects of the
job that make people want to perform, and provide people with satisfaction, for
example achievement in work, recognition, promotion opportunities. These
motivating factors are considered to be intrinsic to the job, or the work carried out.
63
Hygiene factors include aspects of the working environment such as pay, company
policies, supervisory practices, and other working conditions
While Hertzberg's model has stimulated much research, researchers have been
unable to reliably empirically prove the model, with Hack man & Oldham
suggesting that Hertzberg's original formulation of the model may have been a
methodological artifact. Furthermore, the theory does not consider individual
differences, conversely predicting all employees will react in an identical manner
to changes in motivating/hygiene factors.] Finally, the model has been criticized in
that it does not specify how motivating/hygiene factors are to be measured.
According to Herzberg following factors acts as motivators:
Achievement,
Recognition,
Advancement,
Work itself,
Possibility of growth, &
Responsibility.
65
Desires for personal career development, improvement in one's own life standards,
better education & prospects for children & desire for improving one's own work
performance.
b) Need for social achievement :
A drive for some kind of collective success is relation to some standards of
excellence. It is indexed in terms of desires to increase overall productivity,
increased national prosperity, better life community & safety for everyone.
c) Need for influence :
A desire to influence other people & surroundings environment. In the works
situation, it means to have power status & being important as reflected in initiative
taking and participation in decision making.
In summary, this theory tell us that job satisfaction is a function of, or is positively
related to the degree to which one's personal & social needs are fulfilled in the job
situation.
Social References - Group Theory :
It takes into account the point of view & opinions of the group to whom the
individual looks for the guidance. Such groups are defined as the 'reference-group'
for the individual in that they define the way in which he should look at the world
and evaluate various phenomena in the environment (including himself). It would
be predicted, according to this theory that if a job meets the interest, desires and
requirements of a person's reference group, he will like it & if it does not, he will
not like it.
66
A good example of this theory has been given by C.L. Hulin. He measures the
effects of community characteristics on job satisfaction of female clerical workers
employed in 300 different catalogue order offices. He found that with job
conditions held constant job satisfaction was less among persons living in a wellto-do neighborhood than among those whose neighborhood was poor. Hulin, thus
provides strong evidence that such frames of reference for evaluation may be
provided by one's social groups and general social environment.

CHAPTER-3
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
68
69
The scope of the study is very vital. Not only the Human Resource department
can use the facts and figures of the study but also the marketing and sales
department can take benefits from the findings of the study.
The sales department can have fairly good idea about their employees,tat they
are satisfied or not.
The marketing department can use the figures indicating that they are putting
their efforts to plan their marketing strategies to achieve their targets or not.
Some customers have the complaints or facing problems regarding the job. So
the personnel department can use the information to make efforts to avoid such
complaints.

RESEARCH DESIGN
A research is the arrangement of the conditions for the collections and analysis
of the data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose
with economy in procedure. In fact, the research is design is the conceptual
structure within which research is conducted; it constitutes the blue print of the
collection, measurement and analysis of the data. As search the design includes
an outline of what the researcher will do from writing the hypothesis and its
operational implication to the final analysis of data.
The design is such studies must be rigid and not flexible and most focus
attention on the following 2;

FINDINGS
From the study, the researcher has come to know that most of the respondents have
job satisfaction; the management has taken the best efforts to maintain cordial
relationship with the employees. Due to the working conditions prevailing in this
company, job satisfaction of each respondent seems to be the maximum. From the
study, I have come to know that most of the employees were satisfied with the
welfare measures provided by NIELSEN. The employees of NIELSEN get more
benefits compare to other companies.
94
The respondents are satisfied with the environment and nature of work
factors .
The respondents relationship with the superiors and colleagues are quite
good .
The Respondents are not provided with proper welfare facilities.
The communication and motivation of employees by their superiors in
this organization is reasonable.
The Pay and promotion activities in this organization is also good .
The Respondents are overall satisfied with their job
The Parking facilities provided by the organization are not good thats
why most respondents disagree with this question.
The refreshment facilities are also need to be improved

CONCLUSION
96
Job Satisfaction covers an ample field and connotes a state of well being, happiness, satisfaction,
protection and enlargement of human resources and also helps to motivation of worker. The
fundamental purpose of Job Satisfaction is to enrich the life of employees and to remain them
joyful and conducted that helps to development of organization.
.
The management required to provide good facilities to all workers in such way that workers
become satisfied about job. It increases productivity as well as quality and quantity. Therefore
there is necessity of making some provision for improving the welfare facility through that
employees will become happy, employees performance level become increase. It leads to
improve favorable effects of profitability and products of the organization
