Job satisfaction and morale in medium scale organizations

Abstract

A developing country like India cannot afford to neglect the problem of the people who contribute to its economic growth. Men work to satisfy their needs, and the extent of need satisfaction or need frustration is reflected in their behavior. So the study of human behavior is very essential in every industrial activity. This can be achieved through scientific job attitude studies. Two medium scale organizations have been selected for the present study. One is a private sector organization and the other is a public sector organization. The objective of study was to compare the job satisfaction and employee's morale in these organizations. The S.D. Employee's Inventory and the Employee Morale Scale were used to measure job satisfaction and employee's morale. Results reveal that there is no significant difference on job satisfaction and "morale of the employee's in private sector organization as compared to public sector organization. However if we compare the aspects of job satisfaction card-wise, area wise and "on-the-job" and "off-the-job" there seems to be some differences in private sector and public sector organizations.
