Abstract:
The study investigated the influence of demographic variables on
job satisfaction of the bank employees. Job satisfaction is one of the major
determinants of the physical, psychological and the social wellbeing of an
employee. The main objective of the study was to find out the gender
differences in the level of satisfaction where the work environment perceived
as male dominated. For the purpose of this study 62 employees have been
selected from private banks in Jaffna district, using simple random sampling.
A self administrated questionnaire issued them with 5 point Likert scale
which consists of three parts. Two hypotheses were formulated and tested in
the study. Even though 84% of female reported the work environment is
male dominated, the level of job satisfaction is higher than their male
counterparts (80% whereas the male 72%). The analysis proved there is no
major difference caused in job satisfaction due to the demographic variables
other than sex.
