ABSTRACT
The primary objective of this study is to ascertain the levels of job satisfaction experienced
amongst employees in ITI limited, Bangalore. For the purpose of this study convenience sampling
design was used to assess job satisfaction. The sample group (N = 100) consisted of permanent
workers extending across the various occupational classes. A questionnaire was administered to
gather the data. It measures job satisfaction on five job facets, namely, pay, promotions,
supervision, co-workers and the work itself. Results indicate that employees in the ITI Limited
expressed satisfaction with their co-workers, followed by the nature of the work and the
supervision they receive. Opportunities for promotion and pay emerged as major sources of
dissatisfaction. With the exception of marital status, the relationship between occupational class,
race, gender, educational level, tenure, age, income and job status with job satisfaction was found
to be significant. Although the research indicates that job satisfaction is significantly related to
variables such as work, remuneration, supervision, promotion, and co-workers, ongoing research is
required in this domain.
Key words: Job satisfaction, promotion, pay, supervision, remuneration.
