1. CHAPTER-1
1.1 INTRODUCTION
There are many resources in an organization; human resource is one such
resource, which is highly essential. It is a matter of common knowledge that every
business organization depends for its effective functioning not so much on its material or
financial resources as on its pool of able and willing human resources.
Management of every organization should try to improve the morale of its
advisors, which forms a pre-requisite to productivity and operations of the organization.
It is very difficult for an organization to achieve its objective of high productivity and
more profit without the input of best performance of its human resource. An advisor can
give his best performance when he is committed towards his work for the organization.
If the advisors are satisfied with their job and if they have high morale only then
they can be enthusiastic and motivated to attain the goals and long-term objectives of the
organization. An organization can improve the morale of its advisor by formulating
sound HR functions, which stimulate the performance and maintain the commitment of
the advisors towards the organization.
It is also important for an organization to ensure the satisfaction and the morale of
the advisors in frequent intervals so that the advisors are more satisfied with their
organization and are willing to put their best performance on their job. It will result in
high efficiency in their work with effectiveness, high quality of the work, low cost and
less time consumption such that the organization can achieve any of their goals and their
long-term objectives.

5. 1.4.2 ABOUT SH. DHIRUBHAI AMBANI
Few men in history have made as dramatic a contribution to their country’s
economic fortunes as did the founder of Reliance, Sh. Dhirubhai H Ambani. Fewer still
have left behind a legacy that is more enduring and timeless.
As with all great pioneers, there is more than one unique way of describing the
true genius of Dhirubhai: The corporate visionary, the unmatched strategist, the proud
patriot, the leader of men, the architect of India’s capital markets, the champion of
shareholder interest.
But the role Dhirubhai cherished most was perhaps that of India’s greatest wealth
creator. In one lifetime, he built, starting from the proverbial scratch, India’s largest
private sector enterprise.
When Dhirubhai embarked on his first business venture, he had a seed capital of
barely US$ 300 (around Rs 14,000). Over the next three and a half decades, he converted
this fledgling enterprise into a Rs 60,000 crore colossus—an achievement which earned
Reliance a place on the global Fortune 500 list, the first ever Indian private company to
do so.
Dhirubhai is widely regarded as the father of India’s capital markets. In 1977,
when Reliance Textile Industries Limited first went public, the Indian stock market was a
place patronised by a small club of elite investors which dabbled in a handful of stocks.
Undaunted, Dhirubhai managed to convince a large number of first-time retail
investors to participate in the unfolding Reliance story and put their hard-earned money
in the Reliance Textile IPO, promising them, in exchange for their trust, substantial return
on their investments. It was to be the start of one of great stories of mutual respect and
reciprocal gain in the Indian markets.
5
6. Under Dhirubhai’s extraordinary vision and leadership, Reliance scripted one of
the greatest growth stories in corporate history anywhere in the world, and went on to
become India’s largest private sector enterprise.
Through out this amazing journey, Dhirubhai always kept the interests of the
ordinary shareholder uppermost in mind, in the process making millionaires out of many
of the initial investors in the Reliance stock, and creating one of the world’s largest
shareholder families

8. CHAPTER-2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
2.1 INTRODUCTION:
Human resource management involves people, acquiring their services,
developing their skills, motivating them to high levels of performance and ensuring that
they continue to maintain their commitment to their organisation, which is essential to
achieve their organization objectives.
HRM is required in all types of organization – government, business, health,
recreation or social action. Getting and keeping good people is critical to the success of
every organization whether profit or non-profit, public or private. Manager of every
organization tries to improve the morale of its advisors, which forms a pre requisite to
productivity, and operations of the organization.
The productivity of an organization depends on the performance of the advisors
.the performance of the advisors depend on their morale and job satisfaction and morale
of the advisor depends on the HR functions of the organization. Thus to have high
productivity the organization should have sound HR functions. In order to improve the
productivity of the advisors it is very organization to boost up their morale and to
increase their job satisfaction.
2.2 DEFINITIONS OF JOB SATISFACTION:
“Job satisfaction is the favorableness or unfavorable ness with which employees
view their work”.
Keith Davis & Werther
“Is the degree to which a individual feels positively or negatively about the
various facts of the job tasks the work setting and relationship with co-workers”.
John. R. Schermerhorn & j.r. James
8
9. 2.3 MORALE:
Morale is a very widely used term. It refers to a feeling of enthusiasm, zeal,
confidence in individuals or groups that they will be able to cope with the tasks assigned
to them.
A person’s enthusiasm for his job reflects his attitude of mind to work,
environment and to his employer, and his feelings to strive for the goals set for him by
the organization in which he is employed.
Morale is a synthesis of an advisor’s diverse reactions to and feelings for his job,
his working, his superiors, his organization, his fellow workers, his pay, and so on.
Feelings, emotions, sentiments, attributes and motives- all these combine and lead to a
particular type of behavior on the part of an individual or his group; and that is what is
referred to as advisor morale.
Morale is a feeling, somewhat related to enthusiasm or zeal. For a group of
workers, morale, according to a popular usage of the word, refers to over all tone; climate
or atmosphere of work, perhaps vaguely sensed the members.
If workers appear to feel enthusiastic and optimistic about group activities, if they
have a sense of mission about their job, if they are friendly with each other, they are
described as having a good or high morale. If they seem to be dissatisfied, cranky,
critical, restless and pessimistic they are described as having a poor or low morale.
Advisor’s enthusiasm, voluntary conformance with regulations and orders, and a
willingness to co-operate with others in the accomplishments of organization objectives
evidence good morale. Poor morale is evidenced by surliness, insubordination, a feeling
of discouragement and dislike of the job, company and the associates.
9
10. 2.3.1 CRITERIA WHICH ARE IMPORTANT FOR THE DETERMINATION OF
THE LEVEL OF ADVISOR’S MORALE:
(a) The organization:
The organization influences a workers attitude to his job. Example organizational
goals would seem to be distant and unreal when he has little opportunity for establishing
organizational objectives.
The public reputation of an organization may build up, for better or worse, his
attitude towards it.
(b) Nature of work:
Many jobs are routine or of a specialized nature may cause the boredom of the
advisor, for obsessive thinking and alienation.
(c) Level of satisfaction:
If the job factor and the satisfaction they bring is perceived to be favourable to the
worker, morale tends to be higher.
(d) Supervision received:
The actions of the management exercise a tremendous influence on the morale of
the advisors. High rates of turn over for example indicate that the leadership is
ineffective.
(e) Concept of self:
How advisors perceive themselves influences their attitudes to the organizational
environment. For example the morale of advisors who lack self-confidence or who suffer
from a poor physical or mental health is generally low.
(f) Advisor’s age:
Today’s belief is that age and morale is directly related. Older advisors seem to
have higher morale because perhaps younger workers are more dissatisfied “New breed
with higher expectation with the elders”.
10
11. (g) Advisor educational level:
Higher the educational level of an advisor, the lower his job satisfaction because
he compares his own attainments with those of others. The higher he thinks he should be
the more dissatisfied he is.
(i) Morale and Performance
There are some who assert that high satisfaction leads to high performance.
Others say that satisfaction results from high performance because most people
experience by accomplishing some job.
(j) Job Satisfaction
Job satisfaction is a function of, or is positively related to the degree to which the
characteristics of the job meet with approval and the desires of the group to which the
individual looks for guidance in evaluating the world and defining social reality or job
satisfaction is a function of, or is positively related to the degree to which one’s personal
needs are fulfilled in the job situation.
11
12. 2.4 SOURCES OF JOB SATISFACTION:
WORKING WAGES WORK
CONDITION
JOB
SATISFACTION
WORK
GROUP SUPERVISION PROMOTION
2.4.1 Wages:
It plays a significant role in influencing job satisfaction. Employees want a pay system
which is simple, fair and in line with their expectations, when it is so satisfaction is likely
to result.
2.4.2 Nature of work:
Jobs that have too little challenges create boredom, but too much challenge creates
frustration.
2.4.3 Promotion:
Promotional opportunities affect job satisfaction considerably.
2.4.4 Supervision:
There is a positive relationship between the quality of supervision and job
satisfaction.
12
13. 2.4.5 Work group:
It does serve as a source of satisfaction to individual employees.
2.4.6 Working condition:
Working condition that are compatible with an employee’s physical comfort & that
facilitate doing a good job contribute to job satisfaction.
2.5 STUDIES ON JOB SATISFACTION:
Understanding what motivated advisors and how they were motivated was the
focus of many researchers following the publication of the Hawthorne Study results
(Terpstra, 1979).
Five major approaches that have led to our understanding of motivation are:
Maslow's need-hierarchy theory,
Herzberg's two- factor theory,
Vroom's expectancy theory,
Adams' equity theory, and
Skinner's reinforcement theory
2.5.1 Maslow’s theory states that advisors have five levels of needs (Maslow’s, 1943):
physiological, safety, social, ego, and self- actualizing. Maslow’s argued that lower level
needs had to be satisfied before the next higher level need would motivate advisors.
2.5.2 Hertzberg’s theory categorized motivation into two factors: motivators and
hygienes (Hertzberg, Mausner, & Snyderman, 1959). Motivator or intrinsic factors, such
as achievement and recognition, produce job satisfaction. Hygiene or extrinsic factors,
such as pay and job security, produce job dissatisfaction.
13
14. 2.5.3 Vroom’s theory is based on the belief that advisor effort will lead to performance
and performance will lead to rewards (Vroom, 1964). Rewards may be either positive or
negative. The more positive the reward the more likely the advisor will be highly
motivated. Conversely, the more negative the reward the less likely the advisor will be
motivated.
2.5.4 Adams' theory states that advisors strive for equity between themselves and other
workers. Equity is achieved when the ratio of advisor outcomes over inputs is equal to
other advisor outcomes over inputs (Adams, 1965).
2.5.5 Skinner’s theory simply states those advisors' behaviors that lead to positive
outcomes will be repeated and behaviors that lead to negative outcomes will not be
repeated (Skinner, 1953). Managers should positively reinforce advisor behaviors that
lead to positive outcomes. Managers should negatively reinforce advisor behavior that
leads to negative outcomes.
2.6 CORRELATES OF JOB SATISFACTION
Job satisfaction is related to two types of variables:
Organizational
Personal
2.6.1 ORGANISATIONAL VARIABLES
(a) Occupational level:
The higher the level of the job, the greater the satisfaction of the individual. This is
because higher-level job carry greater prestige and self control.
(b) Job content:
Greater the variation in job content and the less the repetitiveness with which the
task must be performed, the greater the satisfaction of the individuals involved.
14
15. (c) Considerate leadership:
People like to be treated with consideration. Hence considerate leadership results in
higher job satisfaction than inconsiderate leadership.
(d) Pay and Promotional opportunities:
All other things being equal these two variables are positively related to job
satisfaction.
(e) Interaction in the work group:
Good interaction among the colleagues results in being accepted by others and it even
facilitates the achievement of goals and thus helps them to achieve satisfaction in their
job.
2.6.2 PERSONAL VARIABLES
(a) Age:
Studies indicate that there is generally a positive relationship between the two
variables up to the pre retirement years and then there is a sharp decrease in satisfaction.
A individual aspires for jobs in later years of his life. Findings his channels blocked, his
satisfaction declines.
(b) Educational Level:
With occupational level held constant there is negative relationship between the
educational level and job satisfaction. The higher the education, the higher the reference
group which the individual looks to for guidance to evaluate his job rewards.
(c) Gender:
There is as yet no evidence as to whether women are more satisfied with their
jobs than men, holding such factors as job and occupational level constant.
(d) Relationship between Job Satisfaction and Productivity
15
16. Earlier it was believed that Job Satisfaction leads to increased productivity.
But many later studies have now established that the above belief is not correct. Job
satisfaction rather than causing performance is caused by it. Good performance leads to
various kinds of rewards, which in turn lead to satisfaction.
2.7 CONCEPT OF JOB SATISFACTION
Job satisfaction is a derived from the Latin words ‘satisfaction’ meaning,
“enough and to do respectively”, job satisfaction denotes “a process of gaming desired
things at desired amount at the job just as an imbalance in the organism causes
restlessness, dissatisfaction may have detrimental effect upon the time of an employee at
the place of work”.
Since work is a vital part of once life a work related factors contribute to
the individual’s happiness and pleasure. Job satisfaction the results various attitude of the
employee hold towards. The job towards job related butch and towards life in general. It
is a general attitude. An attitude which is the result of many specific attitudes in three
major ways. Such as situational factor or specific job factor individual characteristic at
group and social relationship outside the job.
Job satisfaction is the ultimate function of so many individual attitude
together. Many thinkers consider job satisfaction as a collection force and not a unitary
phenomenon. A number of material and non-material factors contribute to job
satisfaction. Some of these variables play important role while others play secondary role
in giving satisfaction in job. It is quite difficult to determine the relative importance
varies with time and person.
Historically speaking, the term ‘Job Satisfaction’ came into vogue in1935.
When Hppock published his classic work job satisfaction. He defined job satisfaction as
“any combination of physiological, psychological and environmental circumstances that
causes a person truthfully to say, “I am satisfied with my job”.

STATISTICAL TOOLS USED
50
51. To analyze and interpret the collected data, the following statistical tools are used.
Chi square method
Percentage method
ANOVA method
KARL PEARSON’S coefficient of correlation
CHI-SQUARE METHOD:
The chi square test is one of the simplest and most widely used non-
parametric tests in statistical work. As a non-parametric test it can be used to determine if
categorical data shows dependency or the two classifications are independent. It can also
be used to make comparisons between theoretical population and actual data when
categories are used.
n
Chi square, χ²= ∑ (O-E) ² / E
i =1
Where, O= observed frequency
E= expected frequency
PERCENTAGE METHOD:
Percentage refers to a special kind of ratio. It is used to make comparison between
two or more series of data. They can be used to compare the relative items, the
distribution of two or more series of data, since the percentages reduces every thing to a
common base and there by allow meaningful comparisons to be made.
NO OF RESPONDENTS
PERCENTAGE = ------------------------------------- x 100
TOTAL RESPONDENTS
ANOVA METHOD:
51
52. The ANOVA technique is important in the context of all situations where
we want to compare more than two populations such as in comparing the yield of crop
from several varsities of seeds. The basic principle of ANOVA is to test the difference
among the means of the population by examining the amount of variations within the
samples.
Estimate of population variance based on between sample variance
F=
Estimate of population variance based on within sample variance
One way ANOVA:
Under the one way ANOVA, we consider only one factor and then observe that
the reason for said factor to be important is that several possible types of samples can
occur within that factor. We then determine if there are differences within that factor.
KARL PEARSON’S CO-EFFICIENT OF CORRELATION:
This method is to be applied only where deviations of items are taken from actual
mean and not from the assumed mean. The Pearson’s correlation method is denoted by, r.
r = ∑(x*y) / √ (∑x²*∑ y²)
Where, x = (X – X) , y = (Y – Y)
