4. ABSTRACT
This report study is aimed at finding the relationship between the overall
satisfaction and the various factors of job satisfaction such as payment, promotion,
security, treatment, bonus etc. taking bank of Bangladesh into consideration. It
overviews some theoretical literature on these satisfaction factors and presents the
regression outputs and their interpretation.
The findings of the study are:
1. Position of the various satisfaction level of factors of bank.
2. The regression output has components:
o Regression statistics table
o Correlation table
o Model summery
o ANOVA table
o Regression coefficients table
3. And their interpretation.
Quantitative data is taken by conducting the survey two banks in savar such as
Dutch-Bangla Bank Lt. and Sonali Bank Lt.

6. Introduction
Job satisfaction is how content an individual is with his or her job. Scholars and
human resource professionals generally make a distinction between affective job
satisfaction and cognitive job satisfaction. Affective job satisfaction is the extent
of pleasurable emotional feelings individuals have about their jobs overall, and is
different to cognitive job satisfaction which is the extent of individuals’
satisfaction with particular facets of their jobs, such as pay, promotion, security,
working environment, and numerous other aspects of their jobs.
At its most general level of conceptualization, job satisfaction is simply how
content an individual is with his or her job. At the more specific levels of
conceptualization used by academic researchers and human resources
professionals, job satisfaction has varying definitions. Affective job satisfaction is
usually defined as an one-dimensional subjective construct representing an overall
emotional feeling individuals have about their job as a whole. Hence, affective job
satisfaction for individuals reflects the degree of pleasure or happiness their job in
general induces. Cognitive job satisfaction is usually defined as being a more
objective and logical evaluation of various facets of a job. As such, cognitive job
satisfaction can be one-dimensional if it comprises evaluation of just one aspect of
a job, such as pay or maternity leave, or multidimensional if two or more facets of
a job are simultaneously evaluated. Cognitive job satisfaction does not assess the
degree of pleasure or happiness that arises from specific job facets, but rather
gauges the extent to which those job facets are judged by the job holder to be
satisfactory in comparison with objectives they themselves set or with other jobs.
While cognitive job satisfaction might help to bring about affective job
satisfaction, the two constructs are distinct, not necessarily directly related, and
have different antecedents and consequences.
7. Analysis and Interpretation
For analyzing and interpretation we have selected two branch of bank in savar and
conducted a survey for data. The banks are Dutch-Bangla Bank Lt and Sonali Bank
Lt. Then we have run regression by SPSS taking Overall Satisfaction (os) as
dependent variable and Pay, PS, SS, TFS, CR, WE, TF, LF, BF, AF as independent
variable. Where questionnaire of this survey was as below

Part-B: Job Satisfaction
Job satisfaction means as a positive feeling about a job resulting from an evaluation of its characteristics.
These characteristics can be rated by any percentage.
Characteristics are:
1. Pay: what is your satisfaction level (in %) in job payment?
2. PS: what is your satisfaction level (in %) in job promotion?
8. 3. SS: what is your satisfaction level (in %) in job security? Here the security means the
organizational support when one falls in any problem.
4. TFS: what is your satisfaction level (in %) in treatment facilities?
5. CR: what is your satisfaction level (in %) about coworker relationship?
6. WE: what is your satisfaction level (in %) about working environment?
7. TF: what is your satisfaction level (in %) in transportation facility?
8. LF: what is your satisfaction level (in %) in leave facility?
9. BF: what is your satisfaction level (in %) in bonus facility?
10. AF: what is your satisfaction level (in %) in accommodation facilities?
11. OS: what is your overall job satisfaction level (in %)?
Please tick (√) anyone of the satisfaction level options for each one of the following factors

12. Model Summary
This is the following output of greatest interest is R Square.
Explanation
Multiple R 0.828(a) R = square root of R2
R Square 0.686 R2
Adjusted R Square 0.520 Adjusted R2 used if more than one x variable
This is the sample estimate of the standard deviation of the
Standard Error 10.07836
error.
Observations 30 Number of observations used in the regression (n)
The above gives the overall goodness-of-fit measures:
R2 = 0.686 means that 68.6% of the variation of OS can be explained by the regressors Pay,
PS, SS, TFS, CR, WE, TF, LF, BF, AF.
An ANOVA table is given. This is often skipped.

Regression 10 4206.771 420.677 4.142 .004(a)
Residual 19 1929.895 101.573
Total 29 6136.667
The ANOVA (analysis of variance) table splits the sum of squares into its components.
Total sums of squares
= Residual (or error) sum of squares + Regression (or explained) sum of squares.
The column labeled significance F has the associated P-value. Since 0.004 < 0.05, we reject H0
at significance level 0.05.

A simple summary of the above output is that the fitted line is

0.070TFS - 0.146CR + 0.120WE - 1.386TF - 0.161LF + 0.182BF - 0.147AF
CONFIDENCE INTERVALS FOR SLOPE COEFFICIENTS
95% confidence interval for slope coefficient PAY is from output (-0.269, 0 .452).
95% confidence interval for slope coefficient PS is from output (-0.349, 0.234).
95% confidence interval for slope coefficient SS is from output (-0.050, 0.573).
95% confidence interval for slope coefficient TFS is from output (-0.302, 0.163).
95% confidence interval for slope coefficient CR is from output (-0.694, 0.402).
95% confidence interval for slope coefficient WE is from output (-0.455, 0.695).
95% confidence interval for slope coefficient TF is from output (-2.206, -0.566).
95% confidence interval for slope coefficient LF is from output (-0.456, 0.135).
95% confidence interval for slope coefficient BF is from output (-0.109, 0.473).
95% confidence interval for slope coefficient AF is from output (-0.369, 0.076).
Recommendations & suggestions
Since R2 = 0.686. It means that 68.6% of the variation of OS can be explained by
the regressors Pay, PS, SS, TFS, CR, WE, TF, LF, BF, AF. So, it should take into
consideration.
Again since, fitted line is
14. OVERALL SATISFACTION = 66.728 + 0.091PAY - 0.058PS + 0.261SS -
0.070TFS - 0.146CR + 0.120WE - 1.386TF - 0.161LF + 0.182BF - 0.147AF
So, we are recommending that payment, job security, working environment and
bonus facility should be taken into consideration as emphasizing factors to increase
overall job satisfaction in banking sector in Bangladesh.
Conclusions
Based on this study it can be said that if banking sector in Bangladesh follow the
suggestion of this study then they will be more benefited and more successful in
their business.
