Abstract:
In today’s business environment as it is true with high job losses due to layoff and retrenchment
to create a lean organization, it is also note worthy for organizations to stop loses of performing
employees due to decreasing job satisfaction and lack of motivation to continue with the
organization for long. Motivated and satisfied employees will have committed approach towards
organizational objective; in turn organizations will also have to show similar commitment
towards employee objectives. Here the role of HR is to continuously work towards alignment of
aspirations of the employee with the goals of the organization. This objective can be achieved by
creating inspiring work environment which promotes and addresses employee need for growth
and development. These factors although complex in nature and as they could not be addressed
for individual employee basis as it may vary case to case it is important for HR to explore the
common areas of intersection. Job satisfaction or employee motivation is studied not just to
handle the turnover but also there are other adverse effects of dissatisfaction like absenteeism,
low performance, lower morale, low contribution to the team, less coordination, less orientation
towards organizational objective these could affect the organization capacity to compete in the
highly competitive business environment. Hence the HR has to induce an organizational
environment and promote organizational culture which takes in to consideration of the prevailing
need.
