Job Satisfaction, Banking Sector, Literature Review, Empirical StudyAbstract
This paper attempts to focus on job satisfaction in banking sector. The total sample covers 362 bank employees working in both public and private sector banks. To study job satisfaction, dimensions like job aspects, work environment, innovative aspects and interpersonal relations are focused. Further, variables like age, sex, marital status, qualification and type of organization are considered for the analysis. A study into relationship between the dimensions reveals that a significant relationship between dimensions under study is existed. More over dimensional-wise analysis reveals that innovative and work environment as well as job aspects and interpersonal relations are strongly correlated. While job aspects and innovative aspects were associated relatively very low, differences in opinion between the variable-wise respondents is also revealed by the study.
