Literature Review  

       The concept of job satisfaction is corollary to human relations movement that began with the classic Hawthorne studies in late 1920s. It is a multidimensional, enduring, significant and much researched concept in the field of organization behavior (Bassett, 1994). Despite there being lots of work being done in this field there is lack of consensus as to what job satisfaction is (Hall, 1986) and how the job satisfaction of the employees should be assessed.
