JOB ENRICHMENT AND IT’S IMPACT ON EMPLOYEES JOB SATISFACTION

Abstract

Among all the key resources in an organisation, men are the most active factor. Organisations are thus very much employee centric rather than only being oriented towards the organisation. Higher productivity and eventually achieving the goals of an organisation can be fulfilled only when employees are retained in an organisation with proper decorum. Retention of employees in an organisation is becoming a burning issue in the present business scenario. Therefore, in order to retain and enhance commitment of employees towards the organisation, the managers should look after the satisfaction level of the employees as well their career growth which again improvises employee performance and lead to higher productivity. Though, compensation on efforts was the only concern of the employees from ages, but now they also look forward for meaningful and enriched job characteristics for their career development. And the only step towards this initiative that can be taken by an organisation is job enrichment. This study is done in order to emphasize on the relationship between job enrichment and job satisfaction. Some of the key factors that are witnessed during the study are job autonomy, task significance, task identity and skill variety. The study is descriptive in nature. The research reveals that job enrichment has a positive impact on satisfaction level of employees in an organisation.
