Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

Job satisfaction is the sense of fulfilment one experiences while working, which serves as motivation. The phrase refers to the entire working arrangement between an employee and his employer.

Job satisfaction refers to a person's level of happiness at work. People are thought to be more content with their jobs the happier they are in their jobs. According to logic, the best performers should also be the most contented ("happy") employees.

The different attitudes that an employee has toward his or her workplace, other connected issues, and life in general affect how satisfied they are with their jobs.

A complex composite notion called "job satisfaction" includes:

1. A person's mental state.
2. The relationships between people who work in the same industry.

It can also be described as the fulfilment of one's desires, which is a result of a combination of good aspects relating to one's attitude, moral character, job, and overall society.

In the industrial context, job happiness is critical. The productive workforce increases output while maintaining high standards, and the business environment is generally conducive. The contented employees are imaginative and creative.

Job satisfaction and discontent are distinctive characteristics. A corporation may provide all of the amenities, including high pay and bonuses, but employees may be dissatisfied. At the same time, the worker with the lowest pay and benefits could occasionally have the highest job satisfaction. The elements that support a good moral code and attitude also lead to greater levels of job satisfaction.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW

The major goal of a review of the literature is to explain what information and concepts have been developed in a field of study, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. It keeps the researcher up to date on the current state of research in a field and any discrepancies that may exist that challenge the conclusions of other research studies.

A study on the "Heterogeneity of Organizational Climate" was undertaken by Srivastav, A. K. (2009). Its goal was to improve knowledge of organisational climate, its character, and complexity among various kinds of groups formed in the chosen company. The information was gathered from a sample of 453 executives from head quarters and then each production unit. The findings demonstrated that various work environments encouraged various employee behaviours. Additionally, this study helped build a contingency model to assist managers in developing staff members effectively for greater organisational effectiveness. The study's findings supported the notion that understanding climate across the company's constituent groups would improve employee behaviour comprehension, prediction, and management.

Dubey Supriti et al. (2010) tried to determine how different personal aspects, like family, affected their findings. Working women need support, adequate health and diet, age, and a work-life balance. They examined the question of "Work Life Balance: Can Women Be Both Bearers and Managers" in their study. They attempted to investigate the impact of many aspects such as fair compensation, fringe benefits, training programmes and their quality, working environment (infrastructure, setting arrangement, atmosphere), and other schemes on work life balance. It has been noted that an inspiring atmosphere increases staff productivity and performance.

The study found a strong correlation between female respondents' training programmes, age, and their capacity to combine work and life.

A substantial association was also discovered between family support and the ability to combine work and life. Finally, they came to the conclusion that establishing work-life balance successfully requires not only on organisations but also on equivalent effort from family. It was advised that businesses should establish friendly surroundings so that workers may balance their professional and personal obligations.

Purohit Baskar and Wadhwa (2012) conducted research on "Organizational Climate from the Perspective of Motivation in District Hospital, India" using a complete framework. Studying and evaluating a District Hospital's organisational climate was the main goal. The study involved 66 personnel from the same district hospital, including 12 class I specialist doctors, 14 class II doctors, and 40 class III personnel. A proven tool called motivational analysis of climate was used to collect the data. Twelve organisational climate factors that were ranked by participants based on their perceptions were used in the study.

According to this study, the organizational procedures in these district hospitals were comparable to those in government agencies, where employees are required to abide by established organizational standards but are not allowed to participate in decision-making. It was established that such organizations have clearly laid communication routes that are regulated by higher authorities and exhibit typical bureaucratic traits.

In their study "Organizational Climate, Leadership Style, and Emotional Intelligence as Predictors of Quality of Work Life Among Bank Workers in Ibadan, Nigeria," Adeyemo, Dzever D. A. et al (2015) explored the impact of organisational climate, leadership style, and emotional intelligence on the quality of work life. A sample of 250 bank employees has been taken from a few commercial banks in the Ibadan city.

In an effort to gauge teachers' work-life balance and job satisfaction, Agha, K., Azmi, F. T., and Irfan, A. (2017) conducted a study titled "Work-Life Balance and Job Satisfaction: An Empirical Study Focusing on Higher Education Teachers in Oman." They made an effort to investigate the connection between job satisfaction, teaching satisfaction, and work-life balance. The demographic factors taken into account for the current study included gender, nationality, educational attainment, years of experience, and current organisational grade. A sample of 625 higher education faculty members from Oman's governmental and private universities was collected. It was discovered that the connections were not significantly affected by the hypothesised demographic variables. Results of the study discovered that while work interference with personal life and personal life interference with work had a negative association with job satisfaction, work and personal life augmentation had a positive link with job satisfaction. Additionally, it was discovered that work happiness and contentment with one's teaching were positively correlated. It was determined that work and personal life must coexist together and shouldn't be allowed to negatively affect one another. This balance or imbalance affects both the teachers' and the organization's overall performance.

Employee perceptions of work-life policies, such as flex time, family-friendly benefits, and work-life programmes and initiatives, in firms indicated that employers cared about their workers' wellbeing. Employee work satisfaction increased as a result, which increased levels of loyalty and dedication to the organisational aim.

Ramesh Krishanan (2018) "The impact of work-life balance and job happiness on employee task performance" The major goal is to investigate the effects of work-life balance and job satisfaction on academic staff productivity in a few Malaysian public higher education institutions. The study found a correlation between academicians' task performance and job happiness and work-life balance. The results also showed that, in comparison to work-life balance, job satisfaction seems to be the best predictor of academicians' task performance.
