workers toemploy in an organization to perform their task in good health and high morale.

Labour welfare is a comprehensive term including various services, benefits and facilities

Labour welfare is an important aspect in every organization with some added benefits which

enable the workers to lead a decent life. There are several agencies involved in the labour

welfare work namely the central government, employer’s trade union and other social service

organization. Welfare services may broadly be classified into two categories:-1) Intramural 2)

to be improved to large extent. The work place should provide essential amenities for the

worker’s essential need. Today various medical services like hospital, clinical and dispensary

facilities are provided by organizations not only to the employees but also to their family

members. Normally welfare and recreational benefits includes canteens, housing, transportation,

education etc.

LITERATURE REVIEW

By contributing to employee satisfaction, volunteer opportunities have been shown to increase

morale, improve employee recruitment and retention rates, enhance productivity, and ultimately

positively affect profits. Properly developed and administered employee volunteer programs can

be a valuable addition to employee benefit programs, especially now as companies look to

contain or even Decrease benefit costs. Several studies have tried to determine the link between

stress and job satisfaction. Job satisfaction and job stress are the two hot focuses in human

resource management researches.

The stress itself will be affected by number of stressors. Amongst some important factors

causing stress one is role conflict. It has a significant negative impact on job satisfaction.

Workload and professional uncertainty affects employee job satisfaction negatively. Role

conflict is important job stressor that is faced due to the multiple roles. Role conflict may start

when two or more concurrent and unsuited expectations exist in such a way that in agreement

with a given role compromises fulfilling other.

Role conflict decreases job satisfaction among both men and women. Work role conflict has a

greater impact on job satisfaction in those workers who have a high centrality of the family role.

Role conflict involves contradiction in expectations of an employee sales position. This may

occur when a sales person is given a variety of contrary orders or is given a range of

responsibilities that cannot be completed all together.

Role conflict is a stressor that affects job satisfaction. Role conflict is generally defined as the

simultaneous occurrence of two or more sets of pressures, such that compliance with one would

make compliance with the other more difficult. Moreover a study on physical education teachers

in Greece explored inverse relationship between roles conflicts on the one hand, and job

satisfaction on the other A study of professional accountants revealed that role conflict was

associated with low job satisfaction and high propensity to leave. Physical environment can be

defined in terms of lightening, noise, temperature, humidity, clean air, air circulation and

exposure to dangerous substances science, motivation and stress research section Cincinnati,

most HR professionals indicated that feeling safe in the work environment was very important

to employee job satisfaction.

Female employees considered feeling safe in the workplace an especially important job

satisfaction factor compared with male workers Having a window, or daylight within 15 ft (5 m),

strongly improves satisfaction with lighting and increasing workstation size also improves

satisfaction with privacy A study of managers of Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong showed that

the physical work environment is one of the important determinants of job satisfaction in that

industry.

The purpose of presented study is to develop a model that measures the degree of difference in

salary satisfaction and its impact on job satisfaction in public sector organizations and private

sector organizations. Salary satisfaction affects job involvement, work inspiration, employee

performance and motivation.

The posited hypothesis is if there exists a significant difference in the degree of salary

satisfaction in public sector and private sector organization, and the positive influence of salary

satisfaction on job satisfaction in both public and private sectors.

The relationship between Job satisfaction and employee engagement have been studied and

reported by many researchers. It has been explained that Job satisfaction can be an antecedent

and a consequence of employee engagement. An attempt is made here to highlight a few of the

studies to support the present study.

Garg and Kumar (2012) have reported in their research paper that Job satisfaction is an important

driver of Employee engagement. Their research was concerned with measuring employee

engagement levels based on certain parameters such as

i. a career path that offers opportunities for advancement,

ii. Fair pay and benefits,

iii. The perception that organization offers good value to customers, and

iv. a satisfactory work environment, defined by a reasonable workload, good relations

with immediate supervisor, effective internal communication, good relationship with

colleagues, and smooth functioning organizational dynamics.

It concluded that job satisfaction and compensation are two such important parameters that are

the key drivers of employee engagement in an organization.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

4.1HISTIRICAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT:

India has been known as the original home of sugar cane and sugar. Indian knew the

art of making sugar since the fourth century. However the advent of modern sugar industry in

India dates back to mid-1930s when a few vacuum pan units were established in thesub-

tropical belts of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.Unitil the mid-50s, the sugar industry was almost

wholly confined to the states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. After the fifties or early sixties the

industry dispersed into southern India, western India and other parts of northern India. India is

the largest consumer and second largest producer of the sugar in the world. The sufficient and

well distributed monsoon rains, rapid population growth and substantial increases in sugar

production capacity have combined to make India the largest consumer and largest producer of

sugar in the world. The Indian sugar industry has not only achieved the singular distinction of

being one of the largest producer of white plantation crystal sugar in the world but has also

turned out be a massive enterprise of gigantic dimensions. With over 450 sugar factories located

throughout the country, the sugar industry is amongst the largest agro processing industries, with

an annual turnover of Rs150bn. It plays a major role in rural development and its importance

for India stretches far beyond the role of a sweetener supplier. The sugar factories located in

various parts of the country work as nuclei for development of rural areas by mobilizing rural

resources and generating employment, transport and communication facilities. Over 45mn

farmers, their dependent and a large mass of agricultural labour are involved in sugarcane

cultivation, harvesting and ancillary activities constituting 7.5% of the rural population. The

sugar industry employs over 0.5 MN skilled and unskilled workmen, mostly from the rural areas.

17

4.2 GLOBAL SCANARIO (INTERNATIONAL TRADE OPPORTUNITY)

International trade is of strategic importance to India has it can help maintain stability in the

domestic market and despite the cyclicality in production. If there is a sugar surplus either due to

excess production or due to greater economic attractiveness of cane for ethanol and cozen in

the future, exports could be used if the surplus cannot be managed in the domestic market.

Acceptability as a credible exporter will provide in the Indian sector an alternate set of markets

for diverting surplus production. Similarly, in case of deficits, raw sugar imports could help

bridge the supply gap. Globally, in the most of the key geographies like Brazil and Thailand,

regulations have a significant influence on the sugar sector. Perishable nature of cane, small form

land holdings and the need to influence domestic prices; all have been the drivers for regulations.

India, too, sugar is highly regulated. Since 1993, the regulatory environment has considerably

eased, but sugar skill continues to be an essential commodity under the essential commodity Act.

There are regulations across the entire value chain land demarcation, sugarcane price, sugar

cane procurement, sugar production and sale of sugar by mills in domestic and international

markets. However, fundamental changes in the consumer profile and demonstrated ability of the

sector to continuously ensure availability of sugar for domestic consumption has diluted the need

for sugar to be considered as an essential commodity. According to a recently conducted nation-

wide survey, nearly 75 per cent of the total non-levy sugar is consumed by industrial, small

business and high income household segments. Further, even for a low income household

4.3 NSL GROUP OF COMPINIES

NSL Sugars Ltd., having its Parental group of M/s. Nuziveedu Seeds Ltd., Hyderabad, is situated

near Koppa, Maddur Taluk, Mandya District with a capacity of 5000 TCD of Sugar factory

integrated with 26 MW Co-gen unit and a Distillery to produce 45 KLPD Fuel based Ethanol,

which is under erection.

The NSL Sugars Ltd., has commenced its Commercial activities w.e.f 29.07.2004, by producing

White Crystal of Sugar and 26 MW Power.

To achieve the desired results, the management is looking upon 3 aspects i.e.

1. Labour

2. Raw material and

3. Bankers.

Labours are the predominant factors for the sugar industry where different types unskilled,

skilled, Semiskilled and highly skilled personnel are involved in the activities in the sugar

industry.

All most all sugar industries are being installed in the rural areas where the principal raw

material is available in rural areas due to the availabilities of raw materials.

While concede ring the nature of employment the basic elements of labours factors are to be

seen:

1. Nature of labour

2. Standard of leaving

3. Financial condition

4. Family background

5. Inclination towards work

6. Educational background.

If we considered NSL Sugars in to account, it suits up the economical standers of rural

community in eve of the facts that cane has been declared as commercial crop, as result cash

flow into the hands of farmers through the sugar industry which is purchasing the cane.

Further NSL Sugars in its walks of life catering an uninterested power supply to the farmers in

order to pump the water from the well to their fields so that the water availability is assured.

19

NSL Sugars not only producing Sugar and Electricity but also producing Ethanol which could be

blended with petrol and diesel and thereby it is expected to reduce the cost of the fuels and intern

saving of fore exchange.

In order to achieve the object narrated above, the role of work force is pivotal where they have to

play a prominent role in meeting the ends of the management.

In order to keep the morel of the employees high their problems also are to be studied and

addressed wherever and whenever it is required. While looking into the problems, a study shall

conduct on the following aspects.

1. Financial stability

2. Physical and mental fitness

3. Educational background

4. Inclination to work

5. Motivation to work.

McKinney’s7S Framework

McKinney’s 7‟s elements are distinguished as 3 hard S‟s and 4 soft S‟s.

Hard S‟s:

- Structure, Strategy, System.

Soft S‟s:

- Style, Staff, Skill, Shared value.

58

STRUCTURE:-

Effective organization achieves a fit between these seven elements. This criterion is the origin of

the other name of the model: diagnostic Model for organizational effectiveness. If one element

changes then this will affect all the other. For ex; a change in HR-systems like internal career

plans and management training will have an impact on organizational culture (management

style) and thus will affect Structure, processes, & finally characteristic competences of the

organization.

STRATEGY:

Action a company plans in response to or anticipation of changes in its external environment.

Major action plan of SSL; prepare to develop sugar production capacity of 10, 00,000 MT

per annum. A mission is very reason and jurisdiction for the existence of a firm. It is usually

expressed in terms of the benefits the firm that firm provides to its customers. An organization

mission statement states that what it is, why it exists and the unique contribution it can make.

“To emerge as global mining organization with international standards of excellence, rendering

optimum satisfaction to all its stakeholders”.

E.g.:- Waste elimination

–

During the process of extraction of sugar they are getting many wastes like Bagasse’s

, Molasses, and Press mud. But these wastes are reused as a raw material for some other purposes

like bagasse is used to generate power, molasses is used for manufacture chocolate or distilleries

and press mud is used for Fertilization.

SYSTEM:

Systems refer to all rules and regulations and procedures both formal and informal that

complement the organization structure. It includes production, planning and control systems,

capital budgeting systems, cost accounting system, planning and budgeting systems,

performance evaluation system.

59

STYLE:

Style refers to the employees shared and common way of thinking and behaving

Unwritten norms of behavior and thought:

Leadership Style

Organizational Culture

Here style implies the leadership approach of top management and the company‟ employee’s

way of thinking and behaving. The style is the tangible evidence of whatManagement considers

important, the way it collectively spends time and attendance and uses symbolic behavior

STAFF:

processes, ways of shaping basic values of management cadre, ways of introducing young recruit

to the company, ways of helping to manage the careers of employees.

stated at abstract level, have great meaning inside the organization even though outsiders may

not see or understand them.It refers to a “Set of values and aspiration that goes behind the

convention formal

Statement of corporate objectives

60

6.00 FINDINGS: INDUSTRY FINDINGS:

Growth in the main objective or goal of any organization & the organization will be

frequently working on it.

The government place an important role in framing policies and procedures for

sugar industries.

Flow of information and understanding between departments plays an important role for

the success of an organization.

Each and every department is inter linked and acts as a sours of information to one

another.

The effect of external factors like suppliers (farmers), government natural environment

etc. plays an important role in agro-based industries.

ORGINISATION FINDINGS:

The production plant and COGEN plant is fully computerized.

The company is planning to increase its sugarcane crushing capacity.

The company is planning to supply its power to TATA Company limited.

The company is showing more interest towards foreign market.

The company has a separate department called cane development department

wherefarmers are encouraged by giving loans to grow more and more sugarcane.

The company has adopted new techniques and procedures to cut total cost.

61

EMPIRICAL FIDINGS:-

In NSL sugars ltd. 100 workers is selected for sample from company, thereafter we examine and

study the awareness & implementation status of various Labour welfare provisions / amenities

provided under factory act 1948 such as washing facility , facility for storage and drying of

cloths, sitting facility, first aid facility, canteen facility, facility for rest/ shelter/dining room,

facility for recruitment of welfare officer and also the non-statutory welfare measures such as

facility of education for worker’s children, residential, medical, consumer store, entertainment,

transportation, education & training, health & hygiene, safety etc. facilities arrangement for

Workers. Now I highlights the importantobservation& collected data as given below:-

Personal Information:-

I. 34 % of the sampled workers are unskilled, 45 % of them are semiskilled and 20 %

sampled ofworkers are skilled workers

All sampled worker all male, so gender distribution of workers is not necessary.

The approximately 50% of sampled workers are in the age group 31‐40 years, 28 % of

them arein the age group of 40‐50 years, this indicates that almost 66 % of the workers

are having their age inthe age group 31‐50 years.

82 % of sampled workers have their level of education as primary or higher secondary.

78 % of sampled workers are married.

Approximately 63 % of sampled workers have their monthly income less than Rs.‐4000/‐.

Approximately 69 % of sampled workers have less than 20 years services.

58 % of sampled workers belongs nuclear family.

62

Suggestions

The company should recruit experience & young manager which help in adopting new

managerial techniques.

Medical allowances should be increased because they will not get proper treatment from

that amount.

Special incentives should be given to encourage employees

In analysis we can see that employees are not satisfied with the promotion in the

organization, so the company should concentrate about the promotion to the employees

Regarding environment protection in and around the plant the organization should grow

more plants and trees

Organization should concentrate on credit and co-operative society which gets more

benefits to employees

63
