Job Satisfaction is the result of various attitudes possessed by an employee related to job and concerned with wages, supervision, conditions of work, recognition, social relations, treatment by employer etc.

Job satisfaction and Work Motivation are closely related to each other. Both are based on cause-effect relationship, i.e. the more an employee is satisfied, the more he is motivated and the vice-versa. Thus these two inter related terms are of a great concern to the organizations in order to enhance the performance and productivity.

The present book analyses the factors and determinants of Job Satisfaction. It also throws light on its relation with Work Motivation and Employees Attitude. It critically analyses the factors that determine job satisfaction and measures the level of satisfaction of employees in a specific organization. Suggestions and means to improve the satisfaction level of employees are also mentioned in the book.

This book is quite valuable to academicians and organizations that are interested in raising the satisfaction level of their employees.

Job satisfaction is one of the crucial and controversial issues of Industrial Psychology and Behavioural Management of the world today. Though in a narrow sense it implies attitude of the employees towards the job, a comprehensive approach requires that many additional factors be included for a complete understanding of this issue. Work Motivation is closely related to job satisfaction. The present book is an attempt towards understanding the full dimensions of these two complex factors in the light of latest theories advocated till date.

An attempt has been made in the present book to understand this complex process by making case study. The conclusions drawn are startling and these are presented to the scholarly world.
