INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION AND MEANING:
Human resource management is concerned with the human being in an
organization. It reflects a new outlook which views organization's manpower as its
resources and assets. Human resource is the total knowledge, abilities, skills, talents and
aptitudes of an organization's workforce. The values, ethics, beliefs of the individuals
working in an organization also form a part of human resource.
Human resource management is that process of management which develops
and manages the human elements of enterprise. It is not only management of skills but
also the attitude and aspirations of the people. When individuals come to work place,
they come with not only technical skills, knowledge, experience etc., but also with their
personal feelings, perception, desires, motives, attitude, values etc. So HRM means
management of varies aspects of human resources.
DEFINITION:
Human resource management may be defined as a set of policies, practices and
programs designed to maximize both personal and organizational goals. It is such a
process by which the people and organizations are bound together in such a way that
both of them are able to achieve their objects.
According to Edwin Flippo,Human resource management is the planning,
organizing, directing and controlling of the procurement, development, compensation,
integration, maintenance and reproduction of human resources to the end that
individual, organizational, individual and societal goals.

According to Leon C. Megginson the term Human Resource defined as “the
total knowledge, skills, creative abilities, talents and aptitudes of an organization
workforce, as well as the values, attitudes and beliefs of individual involved.
NATURE OF HRM:
 HRM is concerned with employees both as individuals and as group in attaining
goals.
 HRM is concerned with development of human resources.
 HRM is continuous and never ending process.
 It applies to all types of organization such as industry , trade, services, government,
social and commerce department.
 HRM covers both organized and unorganized employees

SCOPE OF HRM:
 Setting general and specific management policy for organizational relationships and
establishing and maintaining a suitable organization for leaders and co-operation.
 Collective bargaining, contract negotiation, contract administration and grievance
handling.
 Staffing the organization, finding, getting and holding prescribed types and number
of workers.
 Aiding in the self-development of employees at all levels providing opportunities
personal development and growth as well as for acquiring requisite skill and
experience.
 Developing and maintaining motivation for workers by providing incentives.
 Reviewing and auditing manpower management in the organization.
 Industrial relations-carrying out studies designed to explain employee behavior and
thereby effecting improvement in manpower management.
FUNCTIONS OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT:
The functions of human resource management can be broadly classified into two
categories, viz.
1 Managerial Functions
2. Operative Functions

A. MANAGERIAL FUNCTIONS
1. Planning:
It is a pre determined course of action .Planning pertains to formulating strategy of
personnel programs and changes in advance that will contribute to the
organizational goal. In other word it involves planning of human resources,
requirement, recruitment, selection, training etc. It also involves the forecasting of
personnel needs, Changing values, attitudes, and behaviour of employees.
2. Organizing:
An organization is a mean to an end .it s essential to carry out the determined
course of action. In the words of J.C Massie an organization is a Structure and a
process by which cooperative group of human being allocated its task to its
members ,identify the relationship and integrates the activity towards a common
objectives. Complex relation exists between specialized departments and general
departments as many top managers are seeking the help of personnel managers.
Thus an organization establishes the relationship among the employees and they
can collectively contribute to the attainment of the company goals.
3. Direction:
The next logical function after completing planning and organizing is the
execution of the plan. The basic function of personnel management at any level
is motivating, commanding, leading and activating people. The willing and
effective cooperation of employees for the attainment of organizational goals is
possible through motivation and command .Co-ordination deals with the task of
blending efforts in order to ensure successful attainment of an objectives.
4. Controlling:
After planning, organizing and directing various activities of personnel
management, the performance is to be verified in order to know that the
personnel functions are performed in conformity with the plans, identification of
deviation if any and correcting the identified deviations.

B. OPERATIVE FUNCTIONS
The operative functions of human resources management are related to specific
activities of personnel management such as follows
1. EMPLOYMENT:
It is the first operative function of human resource management. It includes
i. Job analysis:
It is the process of study and collection of information relating to the operations
and responsibilities of specific job.
ii. Human resource Planning
It is a process of determining and assuring that the organization will have an
adequate number of qualified persons, available at proper times, performing job
which will meet the needs of the organization and which provides satisfaction of
individuals
iii. Recruitment:
It is the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulates them for
applying for the job.
iv. Selection:
It is the process of ascertaining the qualification, experience, skills, knowledge
etc, of an applicant with a view to appraising his or her job
v. Placement:
It is the process of assigning the selected candidates with most suitable job in
terms of job requirement. It is matching of employee’s specification with job
requirement.
vi. Induction and Orientation:
Induction and orientation are the techniques by which a new employee is
rehabilitated in the changed surroundings and introduced to the practices,
policies, purposes and people etc.

2. HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT:
It is the process of improving, moulding, and changing the skills, , creative
ability, aptitude, attitude, values, commitment etc. Based on present and future
job and organizational requirement .this includes
i. Performance appraisal:
It is the systematic evaluation of individual with respect of their performance on
the job and their potential for development.
ii. Training:
It is the process of imparting to the employees technical and operating skills and
knowledge
iii. Management Development:
It is the process of designing and conducting suitable executive development
program so as to develop the managerial and human relation skill of the
employee
iv. Career Planning and Development:
It is the planning of one’s career and implication of career plan in means of
education, training, job search, and acquisition of work experience.
v. Internal Mobility:
It includes vertical and horizontal movement of an employee within the
organization.
vi. Transfer:
It is the process of placing the employee in the same level of jobs where they
can be utilized more effectively in consistence with their potentialities and need
of employee and the organization.
vii. Promotion:
It deals with upward reassignment given to an employee in the organization to
occupy higher position which commands better status and pay keeping the
human resources of the employees and job requirement

viii. Demotion:
It deals with downward reassignment to an employee in the organization
ix. Change and Organization Development:
Change implies the creation of imbalance in the existence pattern of situations.
Organization development is a planned process designed to improve
organizational effectiveness and health through modification in individual and
group behaviour culture and system of the organization using the knowledge and
technology of applied behaviour science.
3. COMPENSATION:
It is the process of providing adequate, equitable and fair remuneration to the
employees it includes.
i. Job Evaluation:
Process of evaluating relative worth of the job
ii. Wage and salary administration:
It is the process of developing and operating suitable wage and salary program.
iii. Incentives:
It is the process of formulating, Administrating and reviewing the scheme of
financial incentives in addition to regular payment of wage and salary.
iv. Bonus:
It includes the payment of statutory bonus according to the payment of payment
act1965.
v. Fringe Benefits:
There are various benefits at the fringe of the wage. The management provides
these benefits to motivate the employees and to meet life’s contingencies.
vi. Social Security’s Measures:
Management provides social security to their employees in addition to the fringe
benefits.

4. HUMAN RELATION :
Practices various human resources, development, and compensation interaction
among employees create a sense of relationship between the individual worker
and management, among workers and trade unions and the management.
5. INDUSTRIAL RELATION
 Industrial relation refers to the study of relation among employees, employer,
government and trade unions. It includes
 Indian labour market
 Trade unionism
 Collective bargaining
 industrial conflicts
 Workers participation in the management
 Quality circle
6. RECENT TRENDS IN HRM
It includes
 Quality of work life
 Total quality in human resources
 HR Accounting ,Audit and research
OBJECTIVES OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Objectives are the pre-determined goals to which individual or group activity in an
organization is directed. Objectives of human resource management are as follows:-

 To create and utilize an able and motivated workforce, to accomplish the basic
organizational goals.
 To establish and maintain sound organizational structure and desirable working
relationships among all the members of the organization
 To secure the integration of the individual and groups within the organization by co-
ordination of the individual and group goals with those of the organization.
 To create facilities and opportunities for the individual or group development so as
to match it with the growth of the organization.
 To attain an effective utilization of human resources in the achievement of
organizational goals.
 To identify and satisfy individual and group needs by adequate and equitable wages,
incentives, employee benefits and social security and measures for challenging work
, prestige, recognition, security, status, etc.
NEED FOR HRM:
1. Better industrial relations.
2. Develop organizational commitment.
3. Coping with changing environment.
4. Change in political philosophy.
5. Increased pressure on employees.
LIMITATIONS
HRM approach is very useful in creating work culture in the organization but
still suffers from certain limitations.

1. Recent origin:
HRM is of origin. So it lacks universally approved academic base. Different people try
to define the term differently. Some thinkers considered it as a new name to personal
management.
2. Lack of top management support:
HRM must have the support of top level management. The change in attitude at the top
can bring good results while implementing HRM. Because of passive attitude at the top,
this work is handled by personal management people. Unless otherwise there is change
in approach and attitude nothing spectacular is going to happen.
3. Improper Implementation:
HRM should be implemented by assessing the training and development needs of the
employees. The needs and aspirations of people should be taken into account while
framing human resources policies.
4.Inadequate development programs:
HRM requires implementation of programs such as career planning, on the job training,
development programs, counselingetc; there is a need to create an atmosphere of
learning in the organization.
5. Inadequate information:
Some organizations do not have requisite information about their employees. In the
absence of adequate information and data base this system cannot be properly
implanted. There is a need to collect, store and retrieval of information before
implementing human resource management

INTRODUCTION TO JOB SATISFACTION
Job Satisfaction refers to a person’s feelings of satisfaction on the job, which
acts as a motivation of work. It is not self satisfaction, happiness or self contentment but
satisfaction on the job.
The term relates to the total relationship between an individual and the employer
for which he is paid. Satisfaction does mean the simple feelings state of accomplishing
the attainment of any goals.
Job satisfaction describes how content an individual is with his or her job. It is a
relatively recent term since in previous centuries the jobs available to a particular person
were often predetermined by the occupation of that person’s parent. There are a variety
of factors that can influence a person’s level of job satisfaction. Some of the factors
include the level of pay and benefits, promotion system within the company, the quality
of the working conditions, leadership and social relationships.
The other influences on satisfaction include the management style and culture,
employee involvement, empowerment and autonomous work groups. Job satisfaction is
a very important attribute which is frequently measured by organizations.
DEFINITIONS:
According to Prof. Smith Job Satisfaction is “the feelings of a worker about his
job”.
According to Prof. Loquats and Prof. Davis Job Satisfaction is “a fulfilment of
the requirements of an individual by the work environment”.
Job satisfaction has been defined as a pleasurable emotional state resulting from
the appraisal of one’s job, an affective reaction to one’s job, and an attitude towards

one’s job. This definition suggests that we form attitudes towards jobs by taking
account our feelings our beliefs and our behaviour.
HISTORY:
One of the biggest preludes to the study of job satisfaction was the Hawthorne
studies. These studies (1924–1933), primarily credited to Elton Mayo of the Harvard
Business School, sought to find the effects of various conditions (most notably
illumination) on workers’ productivity. These studies ultimately showed that novel
changes in work conditions temporarily increase productivity (called the Hawthorne
Effect). It was later found that this increase resulted, not from the new conditions, but
from the knowledge of being observed. This finding provided strong evidence that
people work for purposes other than pay, which paved the way for researchers to
investigate other factors in job satisfaction.
Scientific management (aka Taylorism) also had a significant impact on the
study of job satisfaction. Frederick Winslow Taylor’s 1911 book, Principles of
Scientific Management, argued that there was a single best way to perform any given
work task. This book contributed to a change in industrial production philosophies,
causing a shift from skilled labor and piecework towards the more modern of assembly
lines and hourly wages. The initial use of scientific management by industries greatly
increased productivity because workers were forced to work at a faster pace. However,
workers became exhausted and dissatisfied, thus leaving researchers with new questions
to answer regarding job satisfaction. It should also be noted that the work of W.L.
Bryan, Walter Dill Scott, and Hugo Munsterberg set the tone for Taylor’s work.
Some argue that Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, a motivation theory, laid
the foundation for job satisfaction theory. This theory explains that people seek to
satisfy five specific needs in life – physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, self-
esteem needs, and self-actualization. This model served as a good basis from which
early researchers could develop job satisfaction theories.

Job satisfaction can also be seen within the broader context of the range of
issues which affect an individual's experience of work, or their quality of working life.
Job satisfaction can be understood in terms of its relationships with other key factors,
such as general well-being, stress at work, control at work, home-work interface, and
working conditions.
CONCEPT OF JOB SATISFACTION:
Job satisfaction is the end feeling of a person after performing tasks. To the
extent that a person‘s job fulfills his dominant needs and is consistent with his
expectation and values, the job will satisfying. The feeling would be expectation and
values the will be satisfying. The feeing would be positive or negative depending upon
whether need is satisfied or not.
Job satisfaction is different from motivation and morale.Motivation refers to the
willingness to work. Satisfaction on the other hand implies a positive emotional state.
Job satisfaction may be considered as, the dimension of the morale and morale also is
source of satisfaction. Job satisfaction is the end feeling which may influence sub-
sequent behavior. Thus, the job satisfaction is an employees’ general attitude towards
his job.
APPROACHES OF JOB SATISFACTION:
The two main approaches are:
1. Single Global Rating Approach
2. Summation Score Approach

SINGLE GLOBAL RATING APPROACH:
This method is nothing but asking individuals to respond to one question such as
things considered how satisfied you are with your job respondents then reply by circling
a number from one to five that corresponds to answer from “highly satisfied to highly
dissatisfied”.
SUMMATION SCORE APPROACH:
Summation of job is more sophisticated, it identifies key elements in a job and
asks for employees feelings about the job. Typical factors that would be included are
the nature of work. Supervision, presentation pays promotion opportunities with co-
workers. Supervision rated on a standardized scale and up to now overall job
satisfaction score.
NEED FOR JOB SATISFACTION
Seeking information with regard to job satisfaction in an industrial set up is an
important factor because the measurement of job satisfaction is extremely important. By
knowing workers attitudes towards their job, a firm can correct certain areas and
thereby improve the level of job satisfaction of its workers. Moreover, it helps the
management in selecting the better procedures.

NATURE OF WORK:
Most of the employees need intellectual challenges on jobs. They tend to prefer being
given opportunities to use their skills and abilities offered a variety of tasks, freedom
and feedback on how well they are doing. These characteristics make jobs mentally
challenging.
PROMOTIONS:
Promotional opportunities affect job satisfaction considerably. The desire of promotion
is generally strong among employees as it involves change in job, responsibility,
independence, status and monetary benefits.

SUPERVISION:
There is a positive relationship between the quality of supervision and job satisfaction.
Supervisors establish a supportive personal relationship with subordinates and take
personal interest to improve employee’s job satisfaction.
WORK GROUP:
The work group serves as a satisfaction to individual employees. It provides group
members with opportunities for interactions with each other.
JOB SECURITY:
It is positive when the executive or employee feels that he has reasonable chance of
working under conditions of the company. Job security makes him to feel the
satisfaction over his job and it gives secured future of employees.
WAGES:
Wages plays a significant role in influencing job satisfaction. This is because of two
reasons. Firstly, money is an important instrument in fulfilling one’s need and secondly,
employees often see pay as a reflection of management’s concern towards employees.
WORKING CONDITIONS:
The condition under which a person has a marked influence on his health, efficiency,
psychology and quality of work.Environment creates an efficient man; if we improve
the working environment we can improve his level of job satisfaction. So, in any
industrial set up working condition, ventilation, illumination and safety should be good
and excellent.

DETERMINANT OF JOB SATISFACTION:
The various factors influencing in job satisfaction may be classified into 2 categories:
Environmental factors related to work environment which are important can classified
as follows.
1. Job content: Herb erg suggested that job content in a term of achievement
Work itself tends to recognition advancement responsibility and the work itself tends to
provide satisfaction but is less reparative and there is a variation in job content job
satisfaction tends to be together
2. Occupational level:Generally the higher level of the job in organization hierarchthe
greater satisfaction of the individual this is because position are higher level are
better paid more challenging and provide greater freedom of operation such job
carry greater prestige. Self control and need satisfaction.

3. Pay and promotion:All other things being equal higher pay and better
opportunity for promotional needs to higher job satisfaction.
4. Work groups: Man is a social animal and likes to be associated with other
interaction in the work group help to satisfy social and psychological needs therefore
isolated workers tends to be dissatisfied.
5. Supervisors: Considerate supervisors tend to improve the job satisfaction of
workers. Employees satisfaction from supervisory behavior depend upon influence
which supervisor exercise on his own power.
Personal factors:
Personal life exercise significant on job satisfaction influence on the job satisfaction.
The main elements of the personal life are given below:
1. Age: some research studies reveal a positive correlation between age job
satisfactions.
A worker in the advanced age tends to be more satisfied probably because they adjusted
with their job conditions.
2. Sex: One study reveal that women are less satisfied than men, due to fever job
opportunities for females. But female workers may be more satisfied due to their
occupational aspirations.
3. Educational qualification: generally more educated employees tend to be less
satisfied with their jobs probably due to their greater responsibilities.
4. Marital status: the general impression is that married employees and employees
having more depended tend to be more dissatisfied due to their greater responsibilities.
5. Experience: job satisfaction tends to increase with increasing years of experience but
it may decrease after 20years of experience particularly among people who have not
realized their expectation.

THEORIES OF JOB SATISFACTION:
The main theoretical to job satisfaction are as follows:
 Need fulfilment theory
 Equity theory
 Two factors theory
 Discrepancy theory
 Equity -discrepancy theory
1. Need fulfilment theory:
According to this theory a person is satisfied when he gets from his job what he wants.
The more he wants something or the more important it is him the more satisfied he is
when he received it in those needs of a individual can be satisfied. Thus job satisfaction
is positively related to the degree to which ones needs are fulfilled.
2. Equity theory:
Under this theory it is believed that a person job satisfaction depends upon his
perceived equity as determined by his input output balance of others. Every individual
compares his rewards with those of a reference group job satisfaction is thus a function
of the degree to which the job characteristics meet the desires of the reference group.
Equity Theory shows how a person views fairness in regard to social
relationships. During a social exchange, a person identifies the amount of input gained
from a relationship compared to the output, as well as how much effort another persons
puts forth. Equity Theory suggests that if an individual thinks there is an inequality
between two social groups or individuals, the person is likely to be distressed because
the ratio between the input and the output are not equal.
For example, consider two employees who work the same job and receive the
same benefits. If one individual gets a pay raise for doing the same or less work than the
other, then the less benefited individual will become distressed in his workplace. If, on

the other hand, one individual gets a pay raise and new responsibilities, then the feeling
of inequality is reduced.
3. Two factor theory:
Frederick Herzberg’s Two-factor theory (also known as Motivator Hygiene
Theory) attempts to explain satisfaction and motivation in the workplace. This theory
states that satisfaction and dissatisfaction are driven by different factors – motivation
and hygiene factors, respectively.
An employee’s motivation to work is continually related to job satisfaction of a
subordinate. Motivation can be seen as an inner force that drives individuals to attain
personal and organizational goals (Hoskinson, Porter, & Wrench, p. 133). Motivating
factors are those aspects of the job that make people want to perform, and provide
people with satisfaction, for example achievement in work, recognition, promotion
opportunities.
These motivating factors are considered to be intrinsic to the job, or the work
carried out. Hygiene factors include aspects of the working environment such as pay,
company policies, supervisory practices, and other working conditions.
While Hertzberg's model has stimulated much research, researchers have been
unable to reliably empirically prove the model, with Hackman & Oldham suggesting
that Hertzberg's original formulation of the model may have been a methodological
artifact. Furthermore, the theory does not consider individual differences, conversely
predicting all employees will react in an identical manner to changes in
motivating/hygiene factors.Finally, the model has been criticised in that it does not
specify how motivating/hygiene factors are to be measured.
4. Discrepancy theory:
According this theory job satisfaction depends upon what a person actually
received from job and what expects to receive. When the rewards actually received are
less than the expected rewards it causes dissatisfaction.

The concept of discrepancy theory explains the ultimate source of anxiety and
dejection. An individual, who has not fulfilled his responsibility feels the sense of
anxiety and regret for not performing well, they will also feel dejection due to not being
able to achieve their hopes and aspirations.
According to this theory, all individuals will learn what their obligations and
responsibilities for a particular function, over a time period, and if they fail to fulfill
those obligations then they are punished. Over time, these duties and obligations
consolidate to form an abstracted set of principles, designated as a self-guide.
Agitation and anxiety are the main responses when an individual fails to achieve
the obligation or responsibility. This theory also explains that if achievement of the
obligations is obtained then the reward can be praise, approval, or love. These
achievements and aspirations also form an abstracted set of principles, referred to as the
ideal self guide. When the individual fails to obtain these rewards, they begin to have
feelings of dejection, disappointment, or even depression.
5. Equity discrepancy theory:
This is a combination of equity and discrepancy theories. Lawler has adopted
the difference approach of discrepancy theory rather than the ratio approach of equity
theory. Under this theory satisfaction is defined as the difference between the outcome
that one per receiver he actually received and outcome that one feels he should receive
in comparison with others.
WAYS OF MEASURING JOB SATISFACTION:
How job satisfaction is measured depends on whether affective or cognitive job
satisfaction is of interest. The majority of job satisfaction measures are self-reports and
based on multi-item scales. Several measures have been developed over the years,
although they vary in terms of how carefully and distinctively they are conceptualized

with respect to affective or cognitive job satisfaction. They also vary in terms of the
extent and rigour of their psychometric validation.
The Brief Index of Affective Job Satisfaction (BIAJS) is a 4-item, overtly
affective as opposed to cognitive, measure of overall affective job satisfaction. The
BIAJS differs from other job satisfaction measures in being comprehensively validated
not just for internal consistency reliability, temporal stability, convergent and criterion-
related validities, but also for cross-population invariance by nationality, job level, and
job type. Reported internal consistency reliabilities range between .81 and .87
The Job Descriptive Index (JDI), is a specifically cognitive job satisfaction
measure. It measures one’s satisfaction in five facets: pay, promotions and promotion
opportunities, coworkers, supervision, and the work itself. The scale is simple,
participants answer either yes, no, or can’t decide (indicated by ‘?’) in response to
whether given statements accurately describe one’s job.
Other job satisfaction questionnaires include: the Minnesota Satisfaction
Questionnaire (MSQ), the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS), and the Faces Scale. The MSQ
measures job satisfaction in 20 facets and has a long form with 100 questions (five
items from each facet) and a short form with 20 questions (one item from each facet).
The JSS is a 36 item questionnaire that measures nine facets of job satisfaction. Finally,
the Faces Scale of job satisfaction, one of the first scales used widely, measured overall
job satisfaction with just one item which participants respond to by choosing a face.
CREATING JOB SATISFACTION:
So, how is job satisfaction created? What are the elements of job satisfaction created?
Organization can help to create a job satisfaction by putting systems in place that
worker are challenge and then rewarded for being successful. Organization that as per
to creating a work environment that enhance job satisfaction need to in cooperate the
following.
 Flexible work arrangements possibly including telecommunicating.

 Training and other professional growth opportunities.
 Interesting work that offer variety and challenging, allow the worker of the
opportunity to put his or her signature on the finished product. Opportunities to
use one talent to be creative is probably the most important point to bear in mind
when considering job satisfaction is that there are many factors that job
satisfaction and that what makes workers happy with their jobs varies from one
worker to another worker and from day to day apart from the factors mentioned
above job satisfaction is also influenced by the employees personal
characteristics. The manager’s personal characteristics and management styles
and nature of job work itself. Manager who wants to maintain a high level of job
satisfaction in the work force must try to understand the needs of each member
of the work force.
For eg; when creating work teams managers can enhance workers satisfaction
by placing people with similar backgrounds, experience or needs in the same
work group. Also managers can enhance job satisfaction by carefully by
matching workers with the type of the work.
For eg: a person who does not a pay attention to detail would hardly make a
inspector and shy worker is unlikely to be a good sales person. As much as
possible manager should match job task to employee’s personalities. manager
who are serious about the job satisfaction workers can also take other deliberate
step to create a stimulating work environment .one such step is job enrichment,
job enrichment is a deliberate upgrading of responsibility scope and challenge
in the work itself job enrichment usually includes increase responsibility,
recognition and opportunities for growth learning and achievement .large
companies that have used job enrichment programme to increase employee
motivation and job satisfaction include AT&T,IBM and general motors .
 Good management has the potential for creating high morale high productivity
and a sense of purpose and meaning for the organization and its employees
empirical findings by ting (1997)shows that job characteristics such as pay
promotional opportunity task clarity significance commitment and relationship
with supervisor and co workers have significant effects on job satisfaction .
These job characteristics can be carefully managed to enhance job satisfaction.

INDUSTRYPROFILE
INTRODUCTIONTO THE INDUSTRY
A machine tool is a machine for shaping or machining metal or other rigid
materials, usually by cutting, boring, grinding, shearing or other forms of deformation.
Machine tools employ some sort of tool that does the cutting or shaping. All machine
tools have some means of constraining the work piece and provide a guided movement
of the parts of the machine. Thus the relative movement between the work piece and
the cutting tool (which is called the tool path) is controlled or constrained by the
machine to at least some extent, rather than being entirely "offhand" or "freehand".
The precise definition of the term machine tools varies among users, as detailed
in the "Nomenclature and key concepts" section. It is safe to say that all machine tools
are "machines that help people to make things", although not all factory machines are
machine tools.
Today machine tools are typically powered other than by human muscle (e.g.,
electrically, hydraulically, or via line shaft), used to make manufactured parts
(components) in various ways that include cutting or certain other kinds of deformation.
With their inherent precision, machine tools enabled the economical production
of interchangeable parts.
HISTORY OF MACHINE TOOLS
Machine tools filled a need created by textile machinery during the industrial
revolution in England in the middle to late 1700s. Until that time machinery was made
mostly from wood, often including gearing and shafts. The increase
in mechanization required more metal parts, which were usually made of cast
iron or wrought iron. Cast iron could be cast in molds for larger parts, such as engine
cylinders and gears, but was difficult to work with a file and could not be hammered.
Red hot wrought iron could be hammered into shapes. Room temperature wrought iron
was worked with a file and chisels and could be made into gears and other complex
parts; however, hand working lacked precision and was a slow and expensive process.

James Watt was unable to have an accurately bored cylinder for his first steam
engine, trying for several years until John Wilkinson invented a suitable boring machine
in 1774, boring Boulton& Watt's first commercial engine in 1776.
The advance in the accuracy of machine tools can be traced to Henry Maudslay
and refined by Joseph Whitworth. That Maudslay had established the manufacture and
use of master plane gages in his shop (Maudslay& Field) located on Westminster Road
south of the Thames River in London about 1809, was attested to by James Nasmyth
who was employed by Maudslay in 1829 and Nasmyth documented their use in his
autobiography.
The process by which the master plane gages were produced dates back to
antiquity but was refined to an unprecedented degree in the Maudslay shop. The process
begins with three plates each given an identification (ex., 1, 2 and 3). The first step is to
rub plates 1 and 2 together with a marking medium (called bluing today) revealing the
high spots which would be removed by hand scraping with a steel scraper, until no
irregularities were visible. This would not produce absolutely true plane surfaces but a
"ball and socket" fit, as this mechanical fit, like two perfect planes, can slide over each
other and reveal no high spots. Next, plate number 3 would be compared and scraped to
conform to plate number 1. In this manner plate’s number 2 and 3 would be identical.
Next plate’s number 2 and 3 would be checked against each other to determine what
condition existed; either both plates were "balls" or "sockets". These would then be
scraped until no high spots existed and then compared to plate number 1. After
repeating this process, comparing and scraping the three plates together, they would
automatically generate exact true plane surfaces accurate to within millionths of an inch.
The traditional method of producing the surface gages used an abrasive powder
rubbed between the plates to remove the high spots, but it was Whitworth who
contributed the refinement of replacing the grinding with hand scraping. Sometime after
1825 Whitworth went to work for Maudslay and it was there that Whitworth perfected
the hand scraping of master surface plane gages. In his paper presented to the British
Association for the Advancement of Science at Glasgow in 1840, Whitworth pointed
out the inherent inaccuracy of grinding due to no control and thus unequal distribution
of the abrasive material between the plates which would produce uneven removal of
material from the plates.

With the creation of master plane gages of such high accuracy, all critical components
of machine tools (i.e., guiding surfaces such as machine ways) could then be compared
against them and scraped to the desired accuracy.
The first machine tools offered for sale (i.e., commercially available) were
constructed by Matthew Murray in England around 1800. Others, such as Henry
Maudslay, James Nasmyth, and Joseph Whitworth, soon followed the path of expanding
their entrepreneurship from manufactured end products and millwright work into the
realm of building machine tools for sale.
Important early machine tools included the slide rest lathe, screw-cutting
lathe, turret lathe, milling machine, pattern tracing lathe (shaper) and metal planer,
which were all in use before 1840. With these machine tools the decades old objective
of interchangeable parts was finally realized. An important early example, which is now
taken for granted was the standardization of screw fasteners such as nuts and bolts.
Before about the beginning of the 19th century, these were used in pairs, and even
screws of the same machine were generally not interchangeable. Methods were
developed to cut screw thread to a greater precision than that of the feed screw in the
lathe being used. This led to the bar length standards of the 19th and early 20th
centuries.
Forerunners of machine tools included bow drills and potter's wheels, which had
existed in ancient Egypt prior to 2500 BC, and lathes are known to have existed in
multiple regions of Europe since at least 1000 to 500 BC. But it was not until the
later Middle Ages and the Age of Enlightenment that the modern concept of a machine
tool—a class of machines used as tools in the making of metal parts, and incorporating
machine-guided tool path—began to evolve. Clock makers of the Middle Ages
and renaissance men such as Leonardo da Vinci helped expand humans' technological
milieu toward the preconditions for industrial machine tools. During the 18th and 19th
centuries, and even in many cases in the 20th, the builders of machine tools tended to be
the same people who would then use them to produce the end products (manufactured
goods). However, from these roots also evolved an industry of machine tool builders as
we define them today, meaning people who specialize in building machine tools for sale
to others.

The demand for machine tools has been driven by various manufacturing
industries over the centuries. The human desire for firearms (from small
arms through artillery) was the earliest, and it has lasted as a top driver through the
present. Lathes and boring machines for boring cannon barrels led the way. The next
major impetus of machine tool development was the building of textile machinery
during the Industrial Revolution in England. Historians of machine tools often focus on
a handful of major industries that most spurred machine tool development. In order of
historical emergence, they have been firearms (small arms and artillery); clocks; textile
machinery; steam engines (stationary, marine, rail, and otherwise; the story of
how Watt's need for an accurate cylinder spurred Boulton's boring machine is discussed
by Roe (1916); sewing machines; bicycles; automobiles; and aircraft. Others could be
included in this list as well, but they tend to be connected with the root causes already
listed. For example, rolling-element bearings are an industry of themselves, but this
industry's main drivers of development were the vehicles already listed—trains,
bicycles, automobiles, and aircraft; and other industries, such as tractors, farm
implements, and tanks, borrowed heavily from those same parent industries.
HOW MACHINE TOOLS RUN?
Machine tools can be powered from a variety of sources. Human and animal
power was used in the past, as was water power; however, following the development
of high pressure steam engines in the mid 19th century, factories increasingly used
steam power. Factories also used hydraulic and pneumatic power. Many small
workshops continued to use water, human and animal power until electrification after
1900.
Today most machine tools are powered by electricity; however, hydraulic and
pneumatic powers are sometimes used, but this is uncommon.
AUTOMATIC CONTROL OR EVOLUTION OF THE INDUSTRY
Machine tools can be operated manually, or under automatic control. Early
machines used flywheels to stabilize their motion and had complex systems of gears
and levers to control the machine and the piece being worked on. Soon after World War

II, the numerical control (NC) machine was developed. NC machines used a series of
numbers punched on paper tape or punched cards to control their motion. In the 1960s,
computers were added to give even more flexibility to the process. Such machines
became known as computerized numerical control (CNC) machines. NC and CNC
machines could precisely repeat sequences over and over, and could produce much
more complex pieces than even the most skilled tool operators.
Before long, the machines could automatically change the specific cutting and
shaping tools that were being used. For example, a drill machine might contain a
magazine with a variety of drill bits for producing holes of various sizes. Previously,
either machine operators would usually have to manually change the bit or move the
work piece to another station to perform these different operations. The next logical step
was to combine several different machine tools together, all under computer control.
These are known as machining centres, and have dramatically changed the way parts
are made.
From the simplest to the most complex, most machine tools are capable of at
least partial self-replication, and produce machine parts as their primary function.
Examples of machine tools are:
 Broaching machine
 Drill press
 Gear shaper
 Hobbing machine
 Hone
 Lathe
 Screw machines
 Milling machine
 Shear (sheet metal)
 Shaper
 Saws
 Planer
 Stewart platform mills
 Grinding machine

CURRENT TRENDS:
Now India stands 17th in production and 12th in consumption of machine tool in the
world. The country is set to become a key player in the global machine tool industry
and is likely to see substantial high end machine tool manufacturing, even as china
keeps its lead in lower end volume.

CONCLUSION
The entire project was planned with a view to study the level of
“EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION IN RELATION TO THEIR JOB” in VJ
Industries Pvt Ltd.
Employees play a crucial role in any organization as they have always
contributed their share in the form of services for the betterment of the
organization. So, it is very important and the duty of the organization to
provide welfare facilities to the employees. The research has proved that
the motivation and job satisfaction is the key component for any
organization.
By this I conclude that the employee’s job satisfaction level is very
important and generally depends on facilities provided to the employees. If
the recreational facilities and leave packages are provided to the
employees, it motivates them to work hard, resulting in better industrial
relations between the employees and the employer and increase job
satisfaction.
