Dissatisfaction or discontent among employees of an organization reduces commitment towards the job and the organization as a whole. Hence the study of employee satisfaction is very important to the survival and growth among business enterprises.

The study was based on primary data collected by using pre-structured schedules, which also include the standardized Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ).
