CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION













1.1 INTRODUCTION

Welfare is comfortable living and working conditions. Employee welfare means the efforts to
make life worth living for workman.
Welfare is comfortable living and working conditions. People are the most important asset
of an organization, and the accounting profession has to assess and record the value and cost of
people of an organization. Once this is accepted, the need for measuring the value for recording
it in the books of accounts arises. The value of human assets can be increased substantially by
making investment in their training and welfare activities in the same way as the value of repairs/
overhauling, etc.

While the cost on training, development, etc., can be recorded separately and to be within the
eventual, the expenditure on welfare activities can be added to the investment and the returns
judged. Unlike other assets which have depreciation value as years passes by, value of human
assets appreciates with passing years. The value can depreciate by aging process which is
generally hastened up by worries, unhealthy conditions, etc. once this process is slowed down, or
at least if the employee is made to feel young in spirits the value of this asset appreciates
considerably.
Any investment constitutes the assets of a company and therefore, any investment for welfare of
labor would constitute an extra investment in an asset. Industrial progress depends on a satisfied
labor force and the importance of labor welfare measures was stressed as early as1931, when the
Royal Commission on labor stated the benefits which go under this nomenclature, are of great
importance to the worker and which he is unable to secure by himself. The schemes of labor
welfare may be regarded as a wise investment which should and usually does bring a
profitable return in the form of greater efficiency.



1.2 Basic Features Of Employee Welfare
The basic features of labor welfare measures are as follows:
1. Labor welfare includes various facilities, services and amenities provided to workers for
improving their health, efficiency, economic betterment and social status.
2. Welfare measures are in addition to regular wages and other economic benefits available
to workers due to legal provisions and collective bargaining
3. Labor welfare schemes are flexible and ever-changing. New welfare measures are added
to the existing ones from time to time.
4. Welfare measures may be introduced by the employers, government, employees or by
any social or charitable agency.
5. The purpose of labor welfare is to bring about the development of the whole personality
of the workers to make a better workforce.
The very logic behind providing welfare schemes is to create efficient, healthy, loyal and
satisfied labor force for the organization. The purpose of providing such facilities is to make their
work life better and also to raise their standard of living. The important benefits of welfare
measures can be summarized as follows:
They provide better physical and mental health to workers and thus promote a healthy
work environment
Facilities like housing schemes, medical benefits, and education and recreation facilities
for workers families help in raising their standards of living. This makes workers to pay
more attention towards work and thus increases their productivity.
Employers get stable labor force by providing welfare facilities. Workers take active
interest in their jobs and work with a feeling of involvement and participation.
Employee welfare measures increase the productivity of organization and promote
healthy industrial relations thereby maintaining industrial peace.
The social evils prevalent among the labors such as substance abuse, etc are reduced to a
greater extent by the welfare policies.

1.3 CONCEPT OF EMPLOYEE WELFARE
The concept of labor welfare is flexible and elastic and differs widely with times, regions,
industry, country, social values and customs, degree of industrialization, the general socio-
economic development of the people and the political ideologies prevailing at particular
moments. It is also according to the age group, socio-cultural background, marital status,
economic status and educational level of the workers in various industries.

1.1.5 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Definition of Research
The manipulation of things, concepts or symbols for the purpose of generalizing to extend,
correct or verity knowledge, whether that knowledge aids in construction of theory or in the
practice of an art.
- D.Slesinger and M.Stephenson

1.1.5.1 RESEARCH DESIGN:
A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in a
manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure.
Regarding this project, descriptive research design concern with describing the perception of
each individuals or narrating facts on welfare measures and diagnostic design helps in determine
the frequency with which something occurs or its associated with something else. These two
research design help in understand the characteristic in a given situation. Think systematically
about aspects in given situation, offers idea for probe and research help to make certain simple
decision.
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
In this research it deals with descriptive research type. It includes surveys and fact-finding
enquiries of different kinds. The major purpose of descriptive research is description of the
state of affairs as it exists at present.

1.1.5.2 SAMPLE DESIGN
A sample design is a definite plan determined before any data are actually collected
for obtaining a sample from a given population. Sampling is used to collect data from limited
numbers whereas census is used for large numbers. For the research, sampling method was used.
There are different types of sample design based on two factor namely the representation
basis and the element selection technique .There are two main categories under which various
sampling method can be put. There are
1. Probability sampling
2. Non probability sampling
In this particular research the A study is on probability sampling. And in the simple random
sample is used.
PROBABILITY SAMPLING:
Probability sampling is based on the concept of random selection; the sample may be
either unrestricted or restricted. When each sample elements is drawn individually from the
population at large, then the sample so drawn is known as unrestricted sample, Where as all
other forms of sampling are covered under the term restricted sample.
The most frequently used probability samples are:
Simple random sample
Systematic sample
Stratified sample (proportionate & disproportionate)
Cluster sample

NON- PROBABILITY SAMPLING:
Non-probability sampling is that sampling procedure which does not afford any basis for
estimating the probability that each item in the population has of being included in the sample.
Judgment sampling
Convenient sampling
Quota sampling.
Snowball sampling

SAMPLING METHOD
In this research systematic sampling method is used to collect the primary data by
using questionnaire.
SYSTEMATIC SAMPLING
A Systematic sample is selected at random sampling. When a complete list of the population is
available, this method is used. If a sample of 10 students is to be selected from 100 students,
under this method kth item is picked up from the sample frame and k is the sample interval.
POPULATION SIZE
The over all population size is 500 .
SAMPLE SIZE:
The total sample size of 110 has been taken for this study. Both male and female
employees have been interviewed.
1.1.5.3 DATA COLLECTION METHOD
Primary Source of Data
Primary data is known as the data collected fro the first time through field survey. Such
data are collected with specific set of objectives to assess the current status of any variable
studied.
RESEARCH INSTRUMENT:
In this project, the data were collected through structured questionnaire.
QUESTIONNAIRE
A questionnaire is a schedule consisting of a number of coherent and formulated
series of question related to the various aspects of the under study. In this method a pre printed
list of question arranged in sequence is used to elicit response from the important.
Types of questions
The following are the types of questions, which are used in research. They are:
a) Open ended question
b) Close ended question
a) Open ended questionnaire:
An open-ended question gives the respondents complete freedom to decide the form
length and detail of the form.

b) Close ended questionnaire:
The close-ended question is of two types they are as follows:
i) Dichotomous question
This type has only tow answers in the form of YES or NO, TRUE or
FALSE etc

ii) Multiple choice question.
In this case the respondents are offered two or mores choices and the respondent
have to indicate which is applicable in the following cases.

1.1.5.4 STATISTICAL TOOLS APPLIED
Percentage Analysis
Weighted Average
One-way ANOVA

PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS:
Percentage refers to a special kind of ratio. Percentage analysis test is done to find out the
percentage of the response of the respondents. In these tool various percentage are presented by
the way of Bar-diagram, Pie charts in order to have better understanding of the analysis.

FORMULA:
Number of respondents
Percentage = ------------------------------------------------ 100
Total number of respondent
WEIGHTED AVERAGE:

Mean in which each item being averaged is multiplied by a number (weight) based on the
item's relative importance. The result is summed and the total is divided by the sum of the
weights. Weighted averages are used extensively in descriptive statistical analysis such as index
numbers. Also called weighted mean.
FORMULA:
WEIGHTED AVERAGE = WXi / Wi

WXi = The sum of weights (let x1, x2, x3 xn)
Xi = occur with weights (w1, w2, w3wn)
ONE-WAY ANOVA:
Under the one-way ANOVA, we consider only one factor and then observe that the reason for
said factor to be important is that several possible types of samples can occur within that factor .

1.1.6 LIMITATIONS OF STUDY

Time is the important limitation. Due to time constraints only limited population is taken
for the study.
Findings based on this study cannot be used in other organizations.
There are chances of misrepresentation responses.
The biased view of the respondent is another cause of the limitation
















1.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE:

P.L. Rao, in his Labour Legislation in the Making, opines that professional bodies like
National Institute of Personnel Management should constitute a standing committee to monitor
the proceedings in the Parliament regarding the labour welfare measures.

Cooperative Unionism and Employee Welfare by Michael R. White , (University of
Westminster - Policy Studies Institute) , Industrial Relations Journal, Vol. 36, No. 5, pp. 348-
366, September 2005.

Using British national survey data, this article assesses the impact of unions on management
practices to reduce labour costs, implement high-performance work systems, and make employee
welfare provisions. Relative to non-union workplaces, those with unions are found to have
practices which are consistent with 'mutual gains' outcomes.
Staff development and employee welfare practices and their effect on productivity
Ghana Library Journal Vol. 19 (1) 2007 pp. 83-96
Staff development and employee welfare are valuable assets in an organization since an
organization's primary aims are productivity and profitability. Every organization primarily
needs committed and dedicated staff that will help the organization to meet its tactical and
strategic objectives.

The study examines whether staff development policies exist in three special libraries in Ghana,
and whether training programmes are being offered to increase staff competence, efficiencies
and performance. It was also aimed at assessing staff welfare practices and how these affect
productivity and performance.

In conducting the survey, two sets of questionnaires were drawn up. One set was administered to
management and the other set went to Library staff. The survey revealed that all the
organizations under study have staff development policies and training programmes for staff to
enhance their capabilities and efficiency. Again, the survey revealed that staff welfare is catered
for since several motivational avenues and incentive packages are available to boost their morale.

YAMAHA COMPANY :- At a glance
FOUNDATION OF YAMAHA
Paving the Road to Yamaha Motor Corporation
"I want to carry out trial manufacture of motorcycle engines." It was from these words spoken by Genichi
Kawakami (Yamaha Motor's first president) in 1953, that today's Yamaha Motor Company was born.
"If you're going to do something, be the best."

Genichi Kawakami
Genichi Kawakami was the first son of Kaichi Kawakami, the third-generation president of Nippon Gakki (musical
instruments and electronics; presently Yamaha Corporation). Genichi studied and graduated from Takachiho
Higher Commercial School in March of 1934. In July of 1937, he was the second Kawakami to join the Nippon
Gakki Company.
He quickly rose to positions of manager of the company's Tenryu Factory Company (musical instruments) and
then Senior General Manager, before assuming the position of fourth-generation President in 1950 at the young
age of 38.
In 1953, Genichi was looking for a way to make use of idle machining equipment that had previously been used
to make aircraft propellers. Looking back on the founding of Yamaha Motor Company, Genichi had this to say
"While the company was performing well and had some financial leeway, I felt the need to look for our next area
of business. So, I did some research." He explored producing many products, including sewing machines, auto
parts, scooters, three-wheeled utility vehicles, and motorcycles. Market and competitive factors led him to focus
on the motorcycle market. Genichi actually visited the United States many times during this period.
When asked about this decision, he said, "I had my research division chief and other managers visit leading
motorcycle factories around the country. They came back and told me there was still plenty of opportunity, even
if we were entering the market late. I didn't want to be completely unprepared in this unfamiliar business so we
toured to German factories before setting out to build our first 125cc bike. I joined in this tour around Europe
during which my chief engineers learned how to build motorbikes. We did as much research as possible to insure
that we could build a bike as good as any out there. Once we had that confidence, we started going."
"If you are going to make it, make it the very best there is." With these words as their motto, the development
team poured all their energies into building the first prototype, and ten months later in August of 1954 the first
model was complete. It was the Yamaha YA-1. The bike was powered by an air-cooled, 2-stroke, single cylinder
125cc engine. Once finished, it was put through an unprecedented 10,000 km endurance test to ensure that its
quality was top-class. This was destined to be the first crystallization of what has now become a long tradition of
Yamaha creativity and an inexhaustible spirit of challenge.

The first Yamaha motorcycle... the YA-1.
Then, in January of 1955 the Hamakita Factory of Nippon Gakki was built and production began on the YA-1. With
confidence in the new direction that Genichi was taking, Yamaha Motor Co. Ltd. was founded on July 1, 1955.
Staffed by 274 enthusiastic employees, the new motorcycle manufacturer built about 200 units per month.
That same year, Yamaha entered its new YA-1 in the two biggest race events in Japan. They were the 3rd Mt. Fuji
Ascent Race and the 1st Asama Highlands Race. In these debut races Yamaha won the 125cc class and the
following year the YA-1 won again in both the Light and Ultra-light classes of the Asama Highlands Race.
By 1956, a second model was ready for production. This was the YC1, a 175cc single cylinder two-stroke. In 1957
Yamaha began production of its first 250cc, two-stroke twin, the YD1.
Based on Genichi's firm belief that a product isn't a product until it can hold it's own around the world, in 1958
Yamaha became the first Japanese maker to venture into the international race arena. The result was an
impressive 6th place in the Catalina Grand Prix race in the USA. News of this achievement won immediate
recognition for the high level of Yamaha technology not only in Japan but among American race fans, as well.
This was only the start, however.

The first Yamaha to compete in Americ(1957).
Yamaha took quick action using the momentum gained in the USA and began marketing their motorcycles
through an independent distributor in California. In 1958, Cooper Motors began selling the YD-1 250 and the MF-1
(50cc, two-stroke, single cylinder, step through street bike). Then in 1960, Yamaha International Corporation
began selling motorcycles in the USA through dealers.
With the overseas experiences under his belt, in 1960, Genichi then turned his attention to the Marine industry and
the production of the first Yamaha boats and outboard motors. This was the beginning of an aggressive
expansion into new fields utilizing the new engines and FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) technologies. The first
watercraft model was the CAT-21, followed by the RUN-13 and the P-7 123cc outboard motor.
In 1963, Yamaha demonstrated its focus on cutting-edge, technological innovations by developing the Auto lube
System. This landmark solution was a separate oil injection system for two-stroke models, eliminating the
inconvenience of pre-mixing fuel and oil.
Yamaha was building a strong reputation as a superior manufacturer which was reflected in its first project carried
out in the new Iwata, Japan Plant, built in 1966. (The YMC headquarters was moved to Iwata in 1972.) Toyota and
Yamaha teamed up to produce the highly regarded Toyota 2000 GT sports car. This very limited edition vehicle,
still admired for its performance and craftsmanship, created a sensation among enthusiast in Japan and abroad.
Genichi said, "I believe that the most important thing when building a product is to always keep in mind the
standpoint of the people who will use it." An example of the commitment to "walking in the customers' shoes" was
the move in 1966 by Yamaha to continue its expansion. Overseas motorcycle manufacturing was established in
Thailand and Mexico. In 1968, the globalization continued with Brazil and the Netherlands. With manufacturing
bases, distributors and R&D operations in a market, Yamaha could be involved in grassroots efforts to build
products that truly met the needs of each market by respecting and valuing the distinct national sensibilities and
customs of each country. Yamaha continues that tradition, today.
By the late 1960s, Yamaha had quality products that had proven themselves in the global marketplace based on
superior performance and innovation. Distribution and product diversity were on the right track. But Genichi knew
that beyond quality, success would demand more. He had this view on the power of original ideas. "In the future,
a company's future will hinge on ideas over and above quality. Products that have no character, nothing unique
about them, will not sell no matter how well made or affordableand that would spell doom for any company."
He also knew that forward vision, walking hand in hand with original ideas, would create an opportunity for the
company and its customers that could mean years of happiness and memorable experiences. Genichi said, "In
the business world today, so many people are obsessed with figures. They become fixated on the numbers of the
minute and without them are too afraid to do any real work. But in fact, every situation is in flux from moment to
moment, developing with a natural flow. Unless one reads that flow, it is impossible to start out in a new field of
business."A real-world illustration of this belief is the Yamaha DT-1. The world's first true off-road motorcycle
debuted in 1968 to create an entirely new genre we know today as trail bikes. The DT-1 made a huge impact on
motorcycling in the USA because it was truly dirt worthy. Yamaha definitely "read the flow" when it produced the
250cc, single cylinder, 2-stroke, Endure that put Yamaha On/Off-Road motorcycles on the map in the USA. The
DT-1 exemplified the power of original ideas, forward vision, and quick action coupled with keeping in mind the
customers' desires.
In years to come Yamaha continued to grow (and continues to this day). Diversity increased with the addition of
products including snowmobiles, race kart engines, generators, scooters, ATV's, personal watercraft and more.
Genichi Kawakami set the stage for Yamaha Motor Company's success with his vision and philosophies. Total
honesty towards the customer and making products that hold their own enables the company that serves
people in thirty-three countries, to provide an improved lifestyle through exceptional quality, high performance
products.

Genichi Kawakami's history with Yamaha was long and rich. He saw the new corporate headquarters in Cypress,
California and the 25th Anniversary of Yamaha become a reality in 1980. He also watched bike #20 million roll off
the assembly line in 1982. Genichi passed away on May 25, 2002 yet his vision lives on through the people and
products of Yamaha, throughout the world.
