AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON JOB SATISFACTION & MOTIVATION FOR SAINTGOBAIN S.A.

Abstract

Job satisfaction is a very important attribute which is frequently measured by organizations. There is some doubt whether job satisfaction consists of a single dimension or several separate ones. Some workers may be satisfied with some aspects of their work and dissatisfied with others. There does, however, appear to be a positive correlat ion between satisfaction levels in different areas of work. This suggests a single overall factor of job satisfaction. However, it seems there is no one, general, comprehensive theory which explains job satisfaction. Today is still considered by a few critics to be, a complex concept and difficult to measure objectively. The paper is focused on analyzing employee satisfaction and motivation of 91 employees of Saint-Gobain by focusing on three sections: Employee behavior, engagement opinions and conditions for engagement. Saint-Gobain S.A. is a French multinational corporation, founded in 1665 in Paris and headquartered on the outskirts of Paris, at La Défense and in Courbevoie. Originally a mirror manufacturer, it now also produces a variety of construction and highperformance materials. The company is a component of the Euro Stoxx 50 stock market index. The analysis shows that the employees are neutral towards all three factors but engagement opinions are weighed highest followed up by conditions for engagement and employee behavior. The management is recommended to improve the look of employee engagement and focus on team engagement rather than individual engagement. It is important to consider the research is focused on a small sample size & is geographically limited.
