Abstract

This research paper presents a better understanding of how the HRM practices put an impact on the level of Job Satisfaction among executive level employees in the banks under study. Level of employees' satisfaction with their jobs clearly gives crucial clues concerning the culture and growth of an organization. The kind of environment that prevails in any organisation depends upon the HR policies implemented by the Top Management. Consequently, these policies shape the specific HR Practices being adopted. Ultimately, the satisfaction level of employees, especially at executive levels, is affected to a great extent through these policies and practices. The inference drawn from the analysis was that although HR Practices, if perceived appropriate, increase the level of Job Satisfaction of the employees yet the job satisfaction level comes out to be different among all the banks under study.
