improved i.e. it should not be on the basis of time but should be on the basis of
performance.
 Roles and responsibilities of the employees should be more clearly defined.
 Job enrichment can be a major motivator to increase the levels of job satisfaction
of both the officers and staff.
 More ergonomics should be used during designing of a job especially for jobs in
the production sites.
 To improve the levels of job satisfaction more R&D work should be done in the
fields of Personnel research.

About HR research, job

satisfaction and Training
needs assessment
1.1. Introduction to Human Resource research:
Research is understood as the systematic and goal-oriented investigation of
facts to establish a relationship between two or more phenomena. The purpose of HR
or Personnel research is to identify HR problems at an early date, so that remedial
action can be taken before the problem gets magnified. Wide ranges of topics are
covered in personnel research. Some of them are:
• Wage surveys
• Effectiveness of various recruitment sources
• Effectiveness of training efforts
• Training needs identification
• Job analysis
• Job satisfaction survey
• Survey of employee needs
• Performance appraisal validation
• Turnover analysis etc.
Research can lead to an improved understanding of HR practices in an organization.
1.1.1. About Job satisfaction:

Job satisfaction basically means the amount of pleasure associated with a
particular job. Simply if anyone likes his/her job intensely it signifies job satisfaction
and if anyone dislikes his/her job intensely it signifies job dissatisfaction.[1]
Job satisfaction is a very important factor, which draws attention of both
managers of an organization as well as researchers and academicians. Job satisfaction
has a vital relationship with motivation, performance and productivity of an
employee.
There are certain factors, which lead to job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction.
These can be understood from the Two-factor theory proposed by Frederick
Herzberg[2]. This model is widely accepted by managers concerned with the problem
of human behavior at work. Herzberg and his associates Mausner, Peterson and
Capwell began their initial work on factors affecting work motivation in the mid
1950’s.From the research it was revealed that there are certain characteristics which
tend to be consistently related to job satisfaction and others to job dissatisfaction.
These are intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic factors such as achievement,
recognition, the work itself, responsibility, advancement and growth seem to be
related to job satisfaction. These factors are known as motivators or satisfiers.
Extrinsic factors such as company policy and administration, supervision,
working condition, salary, security and interpersonal relations seem to be related to
job dissatisfaction. They are also known as hygiene factors or dissatisfiers.
According to Herzberg, satisfaction and dissatisfaction are not opposite poles
of one dimension, they are two separate dimensions. Motivator’s effect satisfaction
and dissatisfaction is effected by hygiene factors.
The relationship between performance and satisfaction can be understood
from the Performance satisfaction model of Porter and Lawler ( Souce:HR and
Personnel Management by K Aswathapa). According to the model valence (i.e. an
individuals preference for an outcome) and expectancy (i.e., his/her belief that effort
will result in desired outcome) lead to effort (force or motivation). Effort
accompanied by ability, skill and role clarity lead to performance. After the
performance the rewards that follow and how they are perceived will determine
satisfaction.
1.1.2. Factors affecting the levels of job satisfaction of employees: (Source:

HR and Personnel Management by K Aswathapa)
A wide range of variables affects the level of job satisfaction. They are:
(a) Organizational factors:
o Nature and size of the organization,
o Personnel policies and procedures,
o Industrial relations,
o Job design,
o Technology and work culture,
o Supervision,
o Styles of leadership, etc.
(b) Individual factors:
o Personality
o Education
o Intelligence and abilities
o Age
o Marital status, etc.
(c) Socio-cultural factors:
o Relationship with workers
o Group working and norms
o Informal relations
o Attitudes
o Beliefs and values, etc.
(d) Environmental factors:
o Economic conditions
o Social conditions
o Technical changes
o Governmental influences
o Political legal environment, etc.
Apart from the above factors certain other factors called as situational
factors also influence the level of job satisfaction. They are types of supervision,
rewards, promotional and growth opportunities, work groups, etc.
1.1.3. Effects of job satisfaction:

Job satisfaction and dissatisfaction has a variety of effects. These effects can
be seen in context of employee turnover, absenteeism, and productivity and also in
an individual’s physical and mental health.
o Employee turnover: Turnover is the rate with which employees leave an
organization within a given period of time. When an individual feels
dissatisfied with his or her job, at the initial stage he/she tries to overcome
this through various ways of defense mechanism. If he/she is not able to
do so, he/she opts to quit the job thus affecting the employee turnover.
High employee turnover may result in disruption of production, problems
in quality control, and difficulty in building teamwork and morale.
o Absenteeism: Absenteeism refers to the failure on the part of employees to
report to work though they are scheduled to work. In other words
unauthorized absences constitute absenteeism. Job dissatisfaction can be a
cause of avoidable absenteeism. This absence is due to lack of satisfaction
from job, which produces a lack of will to do the work and hence alienate
the worker from the job.
o Productivity: Productivity of an employee can be affected by level of job
satisfaction. A more satisfied employee can be a more productive
employee. It may not be true in some situations but we can have an overall
comment that “a satisfied worker may not necessarily lead to increased
productivity but a dissatisfied worker leads to lower productivity”.
o Physical and mental health: Degree of job satisfaction affects an
individual’s physical and mental health. Since job satisfaction is a type of
mental feeling, so its favorableness or unfavourablrness affects the
individual’s psychology, which ultimately affects ones physical health.
1.2.1. About Training and development:

In simple training refers to the process of imparting skills and development
refers to the learning opportunities designed to help employees grow. A formal
definition of T&D is “any attempt to improve current or future employee performance
by increasing an employee’s ability to perform through learning, usually by changing
the employee’s attitude or increasing his or her skill”. (Source: HR and Personnel
Management by K Aswathapa )
1.2.2. Training and development as a source of competitive advantage:

Training and development offer competitive advantage to a firm by
removing performance deficiencies, making employees stay long, minimizing
accidents, scrap and damage; and meeting future employee needs. Through T&D
there is a greater stability, flexibility and capacity for growth in an organization.
Training contributes to employee stability in at least two ways. Employees become
efficient after undergoing training. Efficient employees contribute to growth of an
organization and growth renders stability to the workforce. Further trained employees
tend to stay with the organization. Training makes the employees versatile in
operations. Flexibility is therefore ensured through training. Even dissatisfaction,
complaints, absenteeism, and turnover can be reduced if employees are trained well.
(Source: HR and Personnel Management by K Aswathapa ).
1.2.3. Benefits of training:
(a) Benefits for the organization:
 Leads to improved profitability and/or more positive attitude towards profit
orientation.
 Improves the job knowledge and skills at all levels of the organization.
 Improves the morale of the workforce.
 Fosters authenticity, openness and trust.
 Helps prepare guidelines for work.
 Aids in understanding and carrying out organizational policies.
 Provides more information for future needs in all areas of the organization.
 Organization gets more effective decision-making and problem-solving
skills.
 Aids in developing leadership skills, motivation, loyalty, better attitudes,
other aspects that successful workers and managers usually display.
 Improves labour-management relationship.
 Creates an appropriate climate for growth, communication.
 Helps employees adjust to change.
 Aids in handling conflict, thereby helping to prevent stress and tension.
(b) Benefits to the individual which in turn ultimately should benefit the organization:
 Helps the individual in making better decisions and effective problem solving.
 Through T&D, motivational variables of recognition, achievement, growth,
responsibility and advancement are internalized and operationalised.
 Aids in encouraging and achieving self-development and self-confidence.
 Helps a person handle stress, tension, frustration and conflict.
 Provides information for improving leadership, knowledge, communication
skills and attitudes.
 Increases job satisfaction and recognition.
 Helps a person develop speaking, listening and writing skills.
 Helps eliminate fear of attempting new tasks.
(c) Benefits in Personnel and Human relations, Intragroup and Intergroup Relations
and Policy implementation:
 Improves communication between groups and individuals.
 Aids in orientation for new employees and those taking new jobs through
transfer or promotion.
 Provides information on governmental laws and administrative policies.
 Improves interpersonal skills.
 Makes organizational policies, rules and regulations viable.
 Builds cohesiveness in groups.
 Provides a better climate for learning, growth, and co-ordination.

1.2.4. Training needs Assessment:
Training needs assessment diagnoses present problems and future
challenges to be met through training and development. Organizations spend vast
sums of money on T&D. before committing such huge resources; organizations
would do well to assess the training needs of their employees. Organizations that
implement training programmes without conducting needs assessment may be
making errors.
Needs assessment occurs at two levels- group and individual. An individual
obviously needs training when his/her performance falls short of standards.
Inadequacy in performance may be due to lack of skill or knowledge and this can be
remedied by training. Assessment of training needs must focus on anticipated skills of
an employee. Technology changes fast and new technology demands new skills. It is
necessary that the employee be trained to acquire new skills. Training and
development is essential to prepare the employees to handle more challenging tasks.
Assessment of training needs occurs at group levels too. Any change in
organization’s strategy necessitates training of groups of employees. Training in
groups can be used when high scrap or accident rates, low morale and motivation, or
other problems are diagnosed.
1.2.4.1. Methods used in training needs assessments: (Source: HR and Personnel

Management by K Aswathapa )
For group or organizational analysis For individual analysis
Organizational goals and objectives Performance appraisal
Personnel/skills inventories Work sampling
Organizational climate indices Interviews
Efficiency indices Questionnaires
Exit interviews Attitude survey
MBO or work planning systems Training progress
Quality circles Rating scales
Customer survey/satisfaction data
Consideration of current and projected
changes
1.2.4.2. Consequences of absence of training needs assessment: (Source: HR

and Personnel Management by K Aswathapa )
• Loss of business
• Constraints on business development
• Higher labour turnover
• Greater pressure and stress on management and staff to provide cover
and increased overtime working
• Pressure on job-evaluation schemes, grading structure, payment
systems and career structures
• Need for job redesign and revision of job specifications
• Higher training costs.

2.7. Environment and Ecology:
Numaligarh Refinery Limited was conceptualized as one of the most environment

friendly and energy efficient refineries in the country. Right from its inception,
conscious efforts had been taken at every stage to preserve the environment complying
with statutory norms prescribed by concerned authorities. Besides normal pollution
control measures specific steps had been taken to ensure that there was no adverse
impact on the adjacent Kaziranga National Park. To avoid disturbances to flora and
fauna of Kaziranga National Park, over dimension consignments and over weight
consignments have been transported successfully. This has been possible by using river
ways from Kolkata via Bangladesh through river Jamuna & Brahmaputra and then by
river Dhansiri to a specially built jetty at Dhansiri river. The effluent treatment plant
with tertiary treatment facilities along with provisions for reuse of treated effluents is
considered to be one of the most modern as it uses the latest technology. Installation of
non-illuminating ground flare in the refinery is one of the first in the country. In
addition, a 100-meter green belt around the refinery and a 25-meter green belt around
the Marketing Terminal have been created. Five continuous air-monitoring stations are
being installed. As a part of the tree plantation programme, about 10,000 teak trees and
about 2400 other plants have been planted in and around the refinery and marketing
terminal area. Just to reflect the concern of the company for retaining and creating an
environment friendly atmosphere, a novel Butterfly Park, only one in the area adjoining
the refinery has been set up.
2.8 Commitment to society:

While the primary function of NRL is to operate the refinery with optimum
efficiency, the socio-economic welfare of the region is imbibed as an integral part of its
corporate philosophy and organizational culture. It is against this backdrop that the
company initiated definitive measures for improving the lives of people in the
neighboring areas through innovative and people friendly programmes. Right from its
inception, even at the project stage, NRL has been pursuing various Community
Development programmes. Besides concentrating in neighboring areas NRL endeavors
to cover the industrially backward district of Golaghat and also extends a helping hand
to other parts of the State of Assam under the Community Development programme.
NRL continues its endeavors to carryout the community development work as a
part of its corporate philosophy and contribute towards development of the region in
line with its corporate mission.

• Objectives of the study
• Hypothesis of the study
• Significance of the study
• Research methodology
• Limitations of the study
3.1Objective of the study:
The main objective of the study was to analyze and compare the levels of job
satisfaction of officers and staff of Numaligarh Refinery Limited.
Moreover one more important objective is to assess the training needs of the
employees of Numaligarh Refinery Limited.
3.2 Working Hypothesis of the study:
Ho1: “There is no significant difference between the levels of job satisfaction of

officers and staff of Numaligarh Refinery Limited”.
Ho2: “The employees of Numaligarh Refinery Limited don’t believe that T&D
programmes are needed to accept more challenging jobs”.
3.3 Significance of the study:
Satisfaction and dissatisfaction with a particular job is a very important factor for an
employee as well as the whole organization. Levels of satisfaction and dissatisfaction
have effects on various factors like employee turnover, effectiveness of training efforts
and their training needs identification, employee needs and many more factors related
to an organization and its employees, so the most important significance of the project
is to find whether the employees of Numaligarh Refinery Limited are satisfied or
dissatisfied with their job. Again one more significance of the study is the comparative
analysis of levels of job satisfaction, which determines whether the officers are more
satisfied, or the staff members are more satisfied with their respective jobs or vice
versa.
One more significance of the study is the identification of the training needs of the
employees of NRL, as Training needs assessment diagnoses present problems and future
challenges of the organization to be met through training and development.
3.4 Research Methodology used in the study:

3.4.1. Population:
Presently there are 683 employees in NRL out off which 385 employees belong to
the staff cadre and 298 belong to officers and executive level. Amongst them 23 are women
employees, 7 physically challenged employees, 127 SC/ST employees and 187 belonging
to OBC. (Source: Annual report 2004-05)
3.4.2. Sources of data:

The data collected for the project was by questionnaire method. The questionnaire
was prepared on the basis of discussions with Organizational guide and other employees of
NRL as because they were more to able site the exact scenario that was predominant at that
period. Moreover during the preparation of the questionnaire institutional guide was also
consulted as because he had good knowledge of designing questionnaires. The
questionnaires were distributed among different respondents to collect their responses.
The questionnaire consisted of 28 questions out of which 18 questions were
developed to find the levels of job satisfaction of officers and staff and the other 10
questions were developed to assess the training needs of the employees.
3.4.3 Sample and sampling units:

After discussions with the organizational guide it was clear that a minimum of 10%
employees of the total population are to be taken for the survey. Again it was a huge public
sector company, so surveying each and every employee was not possible in such a short
period. So a sample of 70 respondents (which was more than 10% of the total population)
was taken for the survey.
Out of these 35 were from officers and 35 were from the staff. This was done as
because the analysis was a comparative analysis so it was easier to compare the responses
with equal distribution.
Convenient sampling method was used for collection of responses as because at
least 3-4 employees of each department were to be surveyed and moreover the employees
worked in shifts so it was a bit difficult to know the exact timings of the employees
especially for the staff cadre.
3.4.4. Statistical tools used:

The data collected were then analyzed. Simple statistical tools were used like,
percentage, average, etc so as to keep the research findings as clear and simple as possible.
Pie, bar diagram and charts were used as a visual aid. Then the analyzed data were
interpreted.
3.4Limitations of the project study:
 The sample taken cannot be said as a true representation of the whole universe.
 There was less control over the responses of the respondents.
 It is difficult to know about the degrees up to which the respondents are satisfied or
dissatisfied.
 Unwillingness of some people to answer as thought it is time consuming.
To overcome these limitations best possible precautions were taken. Like the
respondents were asked to give the most authentic data they could ever give. They were
convinced that the responses given by them would be kept secret and would never harm
their career. Moreover in some cases they were even asked not to give their identity but to
give the truest responses.

5.2 Suggestions:
5.2.1 Suggestions to improve the levels of Job satisfaction of both the officers
and staff of NRL:
(i) Empowerment can be very useful in improving the levels of job satisfaction of
employees. More than monetary rewards empowerment is the process of enhancing
the feeling of self-efficacy and a sense of ‘owing ‘a job. Employees can be
empowered by using following tips:
a. Delegate responsibility and along with it authority but not to the extreme
extent.
b. Replace the role of managerial “parent” role with that of “partner” role.
c.Superiors should have tolerance for mistakes committed by subordinates to a
larger extent.
d. Empowered employees need information so get full perspective so superiors
should share information with subordinates.
e.Teams should be allowed to form.
(ii) The Performance appraisal techniques should be more improved and the appraise
should be informed about his/her strengths and weaknesses.
(iii) Promotional and growth opportunities of both the officers and staff should be
improved i.e. it should not be on the basis of time but should be on the basis of
performance. And in case a person is not promoted in due course of time an
alternative rewarding system like providing extra increment can be used to motivate
him/her.
(iv) Roles and responsibilities of the employees should be more clearly defined.
(v) Job enrichment can be a major motivator to increase the levels of job satisfaction of
both the officers and staff. Job enrichment involves adding more motivators to a job
to make it more rewarding. A job is said to be enriched when the nature of the job is
exciting challenging and creative, or gives the jobholder more decision-making,
planning and controlling powers.
Some of the ways to enrich a job are:
a. Giving freedom to schedule one’s own work. For e.g., an employee decides when
to tackle which assignment.
b. Employees should be able to get immediate knowledge of the results they
are achieving.
c.Moreover the worker can be given direct communication authority to
communicate directly with the people who use his or her output, such as a quality
control manager handling customer’s complaints about quality.
(vi) Rewards should be given to the employees in recognition to their performance.
(vii) More ergonomics should be used during designing of a job especially for jobs in
the production sites. Ergonomics help reduce accidents, increase productivity as
well as safety of the employees.
(viii) To improve the levels of job satisfaction more R&D work should be done in the
fields of Personnel research.
5.2.2 Suggestions regarding Training needs identification of employees of

NRL:
(i) More training programmes to improve technical knowledge and managerial aspects
should be observed i.e. more developmental training programmes should be organized
periodically.
(i) More external training for the employees should be organized yearly (if
possible).
(ii) More training should be given to develop behavioral competencies like
attitudinal development etc, on regular basis especially for the staff cadres.
5.3.3 Some suggestions given by officers and staff of NRL to improve job
satisfaction:
5.3.3. (i) Suggestions by officers:
(a) “For performance appraisal the appraise should be informed about his/her weaknesses
and strengths. In case if a person is not promoted in due course of time, an alternative
rewarding system say additional increment etc should be there.”
(b) “Roles of every employee should be clearly defined, appreciation and gifts to be
given to employees (individually) in recognition of their performance and strength of
employees to be identified in entrusting a role”.
(c) “Improved performance appraisal and growth opportunities to be given; the
performance to be judged quantitatively and qualitatively w.r.t assigned task”.
(d) “Renovate the organizational guidelines, service conditions and systems with
innovative ideas at par the global change scenario of oil industries.”
(e) “Field of interest of employee to be evaluated carefully along with their capability and
engage in that appropriate field to get maximum output as well as job satisfaction for
the employee”.
5.3.3. (ii) Suggestions by staff:
(a) “The company should initiate promotional and growth opportunities for all employees
so that they can have proper job satisfaction.
(b) “Considering the job criteria, existing position needs to be evaluated in line with other
PSU’s (oil PSU’s) in particular”.
(c) “Need to take some steps for appreciation’.
(d) “Appropriate training to develop the skills and adequate planning for every job or
project.”
(e) “Dignity of work should be valued, honored; creating an environment of faith, respect
and peace”.
5.3.4 Some suggestions given by officers and staff of NRL regarding T&D
programmes for further growth and development as well as job
satisfaction:
5.3.4. (i) Suggestions by officers:

(a) “More training in technical field is required”.
(b) “Training on critical equipments under functional training; training on disciplinary
and attitudinal development.”
(c) “The importance of developmental and behavioral training cannot be underestimated.
The most important part to make training fruitful is the evaluation after training.”
(d) “Trainings on Supply chain management and practices in oil sector worldwide.”
(e) “There should be more thrust for lower level management staff for external training
on functional area. More frequent training on developmental and behavioral area should
be imparted to middle and higher management staff.”
5.3.4. (ii) Suggestions by staff:
(a) “Training programmes should help in building interrelationship and mutual
cooperation.”
(b) “T&D programmes should be organized frequently preferably outside the refinery
by experts so that employees can perform their jobs efficiently and they can accept
more challenging jobs.’
(c) “More laboratory training should be imparted to laboratory analysts.”
(d) “Training should match with the developing technology and should be helpful for
mind satisfaction and developing of personalities.”
(e) “Community development programmes to develop the culture and innovative
training both to pull out the inherent capability and to impose new idea.”
5.4 Conclusion:
To become a leading organization with the most satisfied and productive employees
is a dream of every organization It is not impossible to become No.1 for an
organization like NRL because it has got the best minds and hands as their human
resources. No doubt the organization is providing every possible facility to its
manpower but by completing the survey we can conclude that:
“There is a significant difference among the levels of job satisfaction of officers and
staff of Numaligarh Refinery Limited”.
In some aspects officers are more satisfied in compared to the staff and in some
other aspects vice versa. So the management should take certain steps to make more
productive and satisfied employee.
Moreover we can conclude that “both the officers and staff of Numaligarh Refinery
Limited believe that T&D programmes are needed to accept more challenging jobs”.
So, regarding training and development programmes the officers and staff
should be given regular training in different fields. This will provide competitive
advantage to the organization against other organizations in the same sector.
