1.1 INTRODUCTION

1.1.1 Welfare Measures

Welfare is the main concern for the employees in a organization. Employees are the
most valuable asset of an organization. Employees welfare entails everything from services,
facilities and benefits that are provided or done by the employer for the advantage or comfort
of an employee.It is undertaken in order to motivates employees and raise the productivity
levels. The objectives is to know the employee welfare are to improve the life of the working
class, to bring about holistic development of the worker’s personality and so on. Employees'
welfare facilities include housing facilities, free medical facilities, retirement benefits,
children and adult educational benefits, welfare measures for the employee's families, loan
facilities, etc.

Employee welfare is a term including various services, benefits and facilities offered
to employees by the employers. Employee Welfare defines as “efforts to make life worth
living for workmen”. “Employee Welfare is a comprehensive term including various
services, benefits and facilities offered to employees & by the employers.

Welfare includes the activities that is done for the improvement and comfort of
employees and is provided over and more than the wages. Employee welfare includes both
the social and economic contents of welfare. Through such generous fringe benefits the
employer makes life worth living for employees. “Welfare includes anything that is done for
the comfort and improvement of employees and is provided over and above the wages.
Welfare helps in keeping the morale and motivation of the employees high so as to retain the
employees for longer duration. The welfare measures need not be in monetary terms only but
in any kind/forms. Employee Welfare includes monitoring of working conditions, creation of
industrial harmony through infrastructure for health, industrial relations and insurance against
disease, accident and unemployment for the workers and their families.

1.1.2 Meaning and Definition of Employee Welfare:

Employee welfare is a flexible and elastic concept. Its meaning and implications
differ widely with times, regions, industries, countries, social values and customs, the general

1
economic development of the people and the political ideologies prevailing at particular
moments. As such, a precise definition is rather difficult.

In the words of Prof. H.S. Kirkaldy. “The whole field of welfare is one in which much
can be done to combat the sense of frustration of the industrial workers, to relieve them of the
personal and family worries, to improve their health, to offer them some sphere in which they
can excel others and to help them to a wider conception of life.”

According to Balfour committee, “Employee welfare refers to the efforts made by the
employers to improve the working and living conditions over and above the wages paid to
them. In its widest sense it comprises all matters affecting the health, safety, comfort and
general welfare of the workmen, and includes provision for education, recreation, thrift
schemes, convalescent homes”. It covers almost fields of activities of workers e.g., social,
economic, industrial and educational.

1.1.3 Welfare Measures to Employees

The Welfare measures provided are

 First Aid box


 Bonus
 Increment
 Sufficient supply of drinking water.
Industrial progress depends on a satisfied employee force. In recognition on this fact,
the importance of employee welfare measures was accepters as early as 1931, when the royal
commission on employee states: “the benefits, which go under these women culture are of
great importance to the worker and which he is unable to secure by himself. The schemes of
employee welfare may be regarded as a wile incensement which should are usually does
bring a profitable return in the form of greater efficiency.

Employee welfare measures also have beneficial on the employees. The welfare
measures influences the sentiments of the employees are contribute to the maintenance of
industrial peace. Better housing, sickness and maternity benefits, provident funds and
pension educational facilities and entertainment etc. Creates a feeling and among the
employees that they have a state in the industry the employees become more stabilized and
committed and economically efficient, and the mental and moral health of the worker is

2
improved. There is a social reason also. As pointed out by the employee investigation
committee, “the provisions of vices ; medical and entertainment rescuer the incidence of
vices; medical and maternity and child welfare service improve the health the employees and
bring down the rates of general material and infinitive mortality; and educational facilities
increase their mental efficiency and economic productivity.

1.1.4 Objectives Of Employee Welfare Measures:

 To win over employees loyalty and increase their morale.


 To combat trade unionism and social ideas.
 To build up stable employee force, to reduce employee turnover and absenteeism.
 To develop efficiency and productivity among employees.
 To save oneself from heavy takes on surplus profit.
 To earn goodwill and enhance public image.

1.1.5 Purpose of employee Welfare:

A employee welfare programme serves various purposes. Finally, by taking care of


life’s basic amenities it builds a sense of loyalty on the part of the employee towards the
organisation. Secondly, by providing quicker services from the employees. Thirdly, various
employee welfare measures, by welfare activities to workers an organisation gains through
improved or taking care of the basic needs of life, make the worker devote his time and
attention to the organisation’s task.”

This, in its turn, enhances his efficiency and output. As Manappa has rightly
commented: “As attractive package, which provides benefits throughout the course of an
employee’s career serves to attract and retain the better workers and simultaneously enhance
their morale.” The organisation also gains financially by enjoying certain tax concessions
offered for spending money on employee welfare.

1.1.6 Measures of Employee Welfare:

International employee Organisation has divided employee welfare measures in two


broad categories, viz., intra-mural and extra-mural. While the former is important for
providing a health, work environment, the latter is important for motivating, the worker and
providing them social security.

3
Some of the measures are:
 Hours of Work and Adequate Wages
 To Avoid Industrial Fatigue and Rest Pauses
 To Avoid Accident and Safety Precautions
 Fire Protection
 Lighting and Ventilation
 Employee Discontent
 Industrial Housing
 Transport
 Education
 Lunch Rooms and Cafeteria
 Rest Rooms and Others.

1.1.7 Welfare facilities by the Government (Statutory):

The conservative employee welfare policy changed during the Second World War,
when the government took several steps to boost the workers’ morale and increase their
productivity. The employee welfare schemes initiated then and continued. Moreover, with a
view to making it mandatory for employers, to provide certain welfare facilities for their
employees the Government of India has enacts certain laws for the provision of employee
welfare in order to enforce the minimum standards of health, and safety of the workers.
Employers have to observe the rules relating to working conditions, hours of works, hygiene,
safety, light, ventilation, sanitation etc.

 The Welfare related Laws are:


 Factories Act : 1948
 The Mines Act : 1952
 The Plantation Employee Act : 1951
 The Bidi and Cigar Workers Act : 1966
 Contract Employee Act : 1970
 Industrial Disputes Act : 1947
 Employees Provident fund Act : 1952
 Workmen’s Compensation Act : 1924
 Payment of Gratuity Act : 1972
 Bonus Act : 1965

4
Another significant steps taken by the Central Government has been to constitute
welfare funds for the benefits of the employees. These funds have been stablished in coal,
mica, iron-ore, limestone, and dolomite mines. The welfare activities covered by these funds
include housing, medical, educational, and recreational facilities for employees and their
dependents

Organizations provide welfare facilities to their employees to keep their motivation


levels high. The employee welfare schemes can be classified into two categories viz.
statutory and non-statutory welfare schemes. The statutory schemes are those schemes that
are compulsory to provide by an organization as compliance to the laws governing employee
health and safety. These include provisions provided in industrial acts like Factories Act
1948, Dock Workers Act (safety, health and welfare) 1986, Mines Act 1962. The non
statutory schemes differ from organization to organization and from industry to industry.

1.1.8 Importance of Employee Welfare

Employee welfare work assumes great importance because of the following reasons:

1. Lack of strong trade union movement – In the absence of strong trade unions and effective
leaders, welfare work helps the workers in the industry to stand on their own feet, think
properly and systematically of their interests, progress hand in hand and participate in the
nation’s development.

2. Poverty – Poverty is one of the main reasons behind the provisions of labour welfare
activities. Indian workers in majority are poor, and are, therefore, unable to provide a healthy
living for their families and good education for their children.

3. Illiteracy – In India, the number of educated workers is low. Being illiterate, they are
unable to receive advanced industrial training, understand the problems in industries, and
understand their own interests and those of nations.

4. Low level of health and nutrition – Due to poverty and illiteracy, the Indian workers
remain unhealthy and ill fed. This reduces their productivity and efficiency.

5. Lack of healthy recreation – Due to lack of healthy recreation, the workers indulge in
crime and other wrong activities. The employer should provide means of healthy recreation in
order to maintain their efficiency.

6. Lack of training – The number of trained workers in India is very low. Thus, it is necessary
to have training facilities for such a vast workforce.

5
1.1.9 STATUTORY WELFARE SCHEMES

The statutory welfare schemes include the following provisions:

Drinking Water: At all the working places safe hygienic drinking water should be
provided.

Facilities for sitting: In every organization, especially factories, suitable seating


arrangements are to be provided.

6
1.1.10 NON STATUTORY SCHEMES

Many non statutory welfare schemes may include the following schemes:

Personal Health Care (Regular medical check-ups): Some of the companies provide the
facility for extensive health check-up

Flexi-time: The main objective of the flextime policy is to provide opportunity to


employees to work with flexible working schedules. Flexible work schedules are initiated by
employees and approved by management to meet business commitments while supporting
employee personal life needs

Employee Assistance Programs: Various assistant programs are arranged like external
counseling service so that employees or members of their immediate family can get
counseling on various matters.

Harassment Policy: To protect an employee from harassments of any kind, guidelines are

coverage of employees for expenses related to hospitalization due to illness, disease or
injury or pregnancy.

Employee Referral Scheme: In several companies employee referral scheme is


implemented to encourage employees to refer friends and relatives for employment in the
organization.

1.1.11 TYPES OF EMPLOYEE WELFARE SERVICES:

We may classify all Employee Welfare services under two heads:

(a). Internal and (b).External.

Internal services are those, which are providing within the factory (such as safety,
health and counselling services).

7
External services are those, which are provided outside the factory (such as
education, housing, transport, recreation, etc.,)

The three important welfare services are safety, health and counselling.

Safety Service:

Safety is prior to security. Prevention of accidents is the primary objective and it


ensures regular flow of work. This is the one in which three complete identification of
Employee interests the Employees does not want to the injured. Safety is the primary the
responsibility of the management. Every Employee should pay due attention to industrial
safety and tale adequate steps to prevent industrial accidents. Safety also helps to improve the
morale and productivity of Employees .

Health Services:

The prevention of constitutes only one segment of the function of Employee


maintenance. Another equally important segment is the employee’s general health, both
physical and mental. The factors, which influence the general health of the worker, can be
divided into two broad groups, namely:

A. Those, which are associated with his/her working environment


B. Whose, which he/she shares with the rest of community.
Counselling Service:

It is service given to the Employees to solve his/her problem and helping his/her to
hope with their problems.

2.2 INDUSTRY PROFILE

Covering more than 80,000 commercial products, India’s chemical industry is


extremely diversified and can be broadly classified into bulk chemicals, specialty chemicals,
agrochemicals, petrochemicals, polymers, and fertilisers.

Globally, India is the fourth-largest producer of agrochemicals after the United States,
Japan and China. India accounts for 16-18% of the world production of dyestuffs and dye
intermediates. Indian colorants industry has emerged as a key player with a global market
share of ~15%. The country’s chemicals industry is de-licensed, except for few hazardous
chemicals. India holds a strong position in exports and imports of chemicals at a global level
and ranks 14th in exports and 8th in imports at global level (excluding pharmaceuticals).

The domestic chemicals sector's small and medium enterprises are expected to
showcase 18-23% revenue growth in FY22, owing to an improvement in domestic demand
and higher realisation due to high prices of chemicals. India’s proximity to the Middle East,
the world’s source of petrochemicals feedstock, enables it to benefit on economies of scale.

2.2.1 Markets Size

The Indian chemicals industry stood at US$ 178 billion in 2019 and is expected to
reach US$ 304 billion by 2025 registering a CAGR of 9.3%. The demand for chemicals is
expected to expand by 9% per annum by 2025. The chemical industry is expected to
contribute US$ 383 billion to India’s GDP by 2030.

An investment of Rs. 8 lakh crore (US$ 107.38 billion) is estimated in the Indian
chemicals and petrochemicals sector by 2025. The specialty chemicals constitute 22% of the
total chemicals and petrochemicals market in India. The demand for specialty chemicals is
expected to rise at a 12% CAGR in 2019-22.

Indian manufacturers have recorded a CAGR of 11% in revenue between FY15 and
FY21, increasing India’s share in the global specialty chemicals market to 4% from 3%,
according to the Crisil report. A revival in domestic demand and robust exports will spur a
50% YoY increase in the CAPEX of specialty chemicals manufacturers in FY22 to Rs.
6,000-6,200 crore (US$ 815-842 million). Revenue growth is likely to be 19-20% YoY in

18
FY22, up from 9-10% in FY21, driven by recovery in domestic demand and higher
realisations owing to rising crude oil prices and better exports.

Moreover, according to the CRISIL report, the specialty chemicals market in India
would grow faster than China, increasing its market share to 6% by 2026 from 3-4% in fiscal
2021. A shift in the global supply chain brought on by the China+1 strategy and a resurgence
in domestic end-user demand will fuel significant revenue growth of 18–20% in 2022 and
14–15% in 2023.

CHAPTER III - REVIEW OF LITERATURE

3.1 Literature of Review

Kasenga F. et al (2014) conducted a study on staff motivation and welfare in


Adventist health facilities in Malawi they did a qualitative research study by group discussion
with health care workers and supportive staff and finally concluded that Adventist health
facilities need to be revised, training programs for further development must be programmed,
they must increase the communication between management and the health care staff through
schedule routine meetings. Workers are the fundamental resource for functioning health care
area. They are the components go into keeping patients healthy, fulfilled and safe inclination
with the consideration they're given to the patients and helping the association for smooth
working for these worker motivation and welfare is a significant responsibility of hospitals
and nursing homes towards their employees. Welfare isn't just about giving motivating forces
in fiscal shape yet in addition by giving them special attention towards their health and

Sivarethinamohan, 2014, in this paper the provision of welfare services in actual


practice is generally based on different conceptualizations which reflect the existing
contextual cultural and social conditions. Employee welfare is generally determined by the
efforts of employers to establish, within the existing industrial system, the working and
sometimes living and cultural conditions of their employees as conditioned by existing laws,
the customs of the industry involved and the conditions of the marke .The constituent
elements of employee welfare include working hours, working conditions, safety, industrial
health insurance, workmen’s compensation, provident funds, gratuity, pensions, protection
against indebtedness, industrial housing, rest rooms, canteens, crèches, wash places, toilet
facilities, lunches, cinemas, theaters, music, reading rooms, holiday rooms, workers’
education, cooperative stores, excursions, play-grounds, and scholarships and other forms of
assistance for the education of employees’ children. However, as aforementioned employee
welfare has both positive and negative sides associated to it. On the positive side, it deals
with the provision of opportunities which enable the worker and his/her family to lead a good
life, socially and personally, as well as help him/her to adjust to changes in his/her work life,
family life, and social life. On the negative side it serves to ameliorate the baneful effects on
the employeeers of large-scale industrialization and neutralize the social consequences and
employee problems which have evolved as a result of this process.

Lalitha(2014) in this paper human resource plays an important role in any
organization .employee welfare facilities are concern to this department, if the employee
happy with welfare facilities then only the productivity of that organization can be increased.
Based on the study of Employee Welfare Facilities in IT industry it is clear that the
companies are very keen in the promoting all the welfare facilities provided by IT industries.

Usha Tiwari(2014) in this study of Employees welfare schemes and its impact on
employees’ efficiency at Vindha Telelinks Ltd. Rewa appear good. The average mean score
and percentage score of the overall of 22 items has been computed at 3.64(66%). As per the
study it is observe that VTL Rewa (M.P.).is provided various facilities to the employees and
also follow the rules and regulation of state and Indian Government. The management
required to provide good facilities to all employees in such way that employees become
satisfied about employee welfare facilities. It increases productivity as well as quality and
quantity. Therefore there is necessity of making some provision for improving the welfare
facility through that employees will become happy, employees performance level become
increase. It leads to improve favorable effects of profitability and products of the
organization. At last it can be conclude that the employee welfare facilities provided by the
company to employees are satisfied and it is commendable, but still of scope is there for
further improvement. So that efficiency, effectiveness and productivity can be enhanced to
accomplish the organizational goals.

Rajkur(2014) in this paper among the all, human being is the finest one, who needs
skills, talents, attitudes, motivation, career planning and to deliver goods and services in time
with the facilities of Employee Welfare Measures and Social Security. Employees are highly
perishable, which need constant welfare measures for their up gradation and performance in
this field. In India, service sector is a leading sector, which generates more employment,
needs welfare measures for their improvement. The welfare facilities help to motivate and
retain employees. Most of the welfare facilities are methods of hygienic among workers are
motivated by providing welfare measures .This ensures employee satisfaction result in
increased efficiency.

Michael (2014) in this paper, “Human Resource Management and Human Relations”
said that the provision of intra-mural and extra-mural welfare facilities help in improving the
quality of work life of employee’s thereby good human relations will develop among
different cadres of employees

Misra, 2015 in this research aimed at sociological analysis of the employee welfare
problems of sugar industry. The analysis was based on the first hand data collected from the
sugar factories of Eastern Uttar Pradesh. The study concluded that the conditions of work in
sugar factories of eastern region of Uttar Pradesh were not very satisfactory particularly in the
respect of safety measures, cleanliness, sanitation, latrine facilities, drinking water, rest
rooms, etc. It also pointed out that the provisions for leaves and holidays, lighting, housing,
medical, edu-cation, are far from satisfactory.

Patro (2015) in a comparative analysis of welfare measures in public and private


sector found that an employees’ welfare facility is the key dimension to smooth employer-
employee relationship. These welfare facilities improve the employees’ morale and loyalty
towards the management thereby increasing their happiness, satisfaction and
performance.Venkataramana & Lokanadha (2015) conducted research with objectives of
welfare measures in South Central Railways andits impact on employee satisfaction. The
study concluded on with basis of observations are Extra-Mural particularly on Sports,
Cultural, Library, Reading, Leaves on travel, Welfare Cooperatives, Vocational, Welfare
facilities to Children andWomen, where as in Intra-mural particularly protective clothing,
crèches, restrooms and drinking facilities are in poor stateto improve the rate of employee
satisfaction.

Saiyaddin, (2016) examined the purpose and cost of non-statutory welfare activities
for the organizations. Five public and six private sector organizations were selected for the
study. The study brought out an important conclusion that the most predominant theme in the
minds of organizations when they think of the voluntary welfare measures was not only the
output and efficiency but also increasing loyalty and morale. In respect of cost, the study
revealed, that the public sector organizations spend more on welfare activities, as compared
to private sector. While public sector spends more on transportation and recreation, private
sector was found to be spending more on housing according to the study.

P. Anju (2016) in this study identified that the rate of absenteeism had been reduced
to a great extent by providing housing, health and family care, canteen, educational and
training facility and provision of welfare activities. He also stated that this principle for
successful implementation of employee welfare activities is nothing but an extension of
democratic values in an industrialized society.

23
Koshan, 2016 in this study pointed out that inspite of statutory provisions and
enforcing agencies in India, the welfare facilities were absent and the cement industry was
the only one where provisions were adequately enforced. The study suggested that need for
over-hauling and tightening the machinery of inspection. Appointment of welfare inspectors
for different industries, distinguishing the duties of factory inspectors from those of welfare
inspectors to submit annual and quarterly reports and empowering the welfare inspectors to
fine in case of default, were some of the steps suggested in this study.

Mendis M (2017) studied on welfare facilities and job satisfaction with the objective
of to examine the welfare facilities and its impact on job satisfaction at operational level of
employees in Shri Lanka by interviewing 100employee. He also concluded that by increasing
welfare facilities organization can improve the job satisfaction. The welfare measure helps to
improve the goodwill and public image. It helps to improve industrial relations with
employee and industrial peace and it also helps to improve employee productivity. As far as
features of employee welfare are concerned. Employee welfare terminology indicates
services, facilities and amenities provided by the employer for employee’s betterment.
Employee welfare concerns with monetary and non-monitory both. The aim of employee
welfare is to improve the employee’s working attitude and make an employee a good and
happy citizen. Employee welfare is an essential part of social welfare that involves
adjustment of working and family life of an employee.

Dr.P.Bhujanga Rao(2017) in this study state that welfare measure is a process of


recognizing the unique place of the worker in the society and doing good for them, retaining
and motivating employees and building up the local reputation of the company. They
conducted a study on the employees’ welfare facilities and its impact on employees. It was
also further reiterated that the management should provide facilities to all employees in such
way that employees become satisfied on the welfare facilities which in turn leads to increase
in productivity in terms of quality and quantity.

Bharathiand Padmaja (2018) in this research after analyzing the whole situation the
researchers concludes it is proved that the Employees welfare activities are sufficient and
effective for the employees of LIC. The researcher reached with this conclusion after
thorough the study of all the aspects of Employee welfare activities is pruning to job
satisfaction and that leads to employee engagement. The employee of LIC was highly
engaged and they are producing as according to the requirement and the mission statement of

24
the company. The very important observation is all the employees of LIC were strongly
connected to the objectives and theircommitment towards productivity is very high.

Dr.Subhasish Chatterjee (2018) Employee welfare is the most important machinery


in any organizations to get the productive result from the workers. It has been understood that
for last few decades the proper welfare facilities are constantly generating motivation of the
workers towards their work and that ultimately is reducing the attrition rate in the
organization. There are many statutory and non-statutory welfare facilities are being offered
to workers such as establishing proper industrial harmony, examining working condition,
consistent monitoring on disease, accident and unemployment of employees and their
families. Despite that there are many gaps are being observed between employee welfare and
its impact on job performance. Owing to that reason investigator on the process of her
completing summer internship program tried to search out the authentic information from the
nurse, paramedical staff and general staff from private hospitals and finally all authors have
also taken an endeavour to produce an authentic research paper by providing proper
language, and with the help statistical package, the authors have also presented exact
statistical information and inference after compilation of informative data. Key words:
Welfare, Performance, Health Insurance, Accommodation, Hygiene, Stress, Safety,
Harassment, Environment and Ventilation.

Bharathi and Padmaja (2018) after analyzing the whole situation the researchers

R. Mohanapriya(2019) The Employees welfare measure is a burning issue all over


the world. Employee’s welfare requires everything from service, facilities and benefits that
are provided or done by an employer for the advantage or comfort of an employee. A study
on employee’s welfare measure aimed to find how employee’s welfare measures in the
organization encourage them to increase productivity and performance .The total population
for the study is 140 and the sample size is 100. The type of sample design used for the study

25
is simple random sampling. Primary and Secondary data was used for the study primary data
was collected by using questionnaire and secondary data was collected from books, journals
and company records. The gathered information is critically analyzed by using various
statistical tools like chi square test and Karl Pearson coefficient of correlation. From the
study, it was found that there is significant association between employee welfare measure
and self-efficacy of employees and by using chi square test it was found that there is
significant association between employee welfare measure and work performance of
employees. Welfare measures helps in maintaining the morale and motivation of the
employees high so as to retain the employees for longer periods. This welfare need not be in
monetary terms but in any kind/forms. Employee welfare includes monitoring of working
conditions, creation of industrial harmony through infrastructure for health, industrial
relations and insurance against disease, accident and unemployment for the workers and their
and families.

A.Varadaraj, D.Charumathi (2019) The concept of employee welfare is vibrant. Its


broad viewpoint and contents are inclined to change, depending on social and economic
changes that occur in society. Employee welfare includes various services, benefits, and
facilities offered to employees by employers. An organization has to provide welfare
facilities to their employees to keep their motivation levels high. The study throws light on
impact of welfare measures on the employees’ performances with respect to the construction
industry. The primary data for the study was collected through a questionnaire. The sample
size of the study was 80 and the sample design adopted was a systematic random sampling
technique. Thus from this study, it is found that the welfare measures provided by the
Construction industry directly impact the work competence of the employees. Proper welfare
measures should be provided to persuade the employees and increase proficiency and
effectiveness. The Company should take steps to create awareness among the employees
about the welfare measures provided as it falls under the rights of the employee to know
about the welfare measures provided for him/her by the company.

P.Chandrasekaran (2020) In India, the welfare benefit to the employees whether it


be statutory or voluntary is available only to the workers employed in formal sector, who are
hardly 10%. Left over 90% of the employees, who are more than 40 crores in number,
and employed in unorganised / informal sector like construction, agriculture industry is
either deprived their rights. In this project, an attempt has been made to study of the welfare

26
measures available in construction industries. The statistics have been composed through
primary survey by administrating a detailed questionnaire to section of the employees
selected at random. The percentage analysis is used to know the satisfaction level of the
employees regarding welfare measures as suggested in the Factories Act, 1948. Employees
are satisfied with various facilities like festival advances, medical, lighting, sitting and
drinking water. It is observed that the welfare measures reduce the employee
absenteeism and increase the efficiency of the employees. Also, they are directly related
with productivity and to achieve it the companies provide many welfare packages to
employees for increasing the efficiency and productivity.

Dhruval Devani(2020) The study was done with the objective of analysing, safety
and welfare measure of the company, Knowing the opinion and satisfaction level of
employee about health measure, safety measure and welfares followed in the company and
the measure followed to prevent from accident in the company. The employee health, safety
and welfare are the measure of promoting the efficiency of employee. The various welfare
measure provided by the employee will have immediate impact on the health and mental
efficiency of the worker and thereby contributing the higher productivity. The results
appeared positive. It increase productivity as well as quality and quantity. Therefore there in
necessity of making some provision for improving the welfare facility through that
employees will become happy, employee’s performance level become increase. The
employees are aware about social security measures provided by the organisation.

Raj Laxmi (2020) Employee satisfaction in welfare measures involves taking


measures to encourage staff to stay within the organization. Most of the times company is
facing lot of issues in worker retention because the expectations of employees are changing
day by day and hiring knowledgeable individuals for the organization are crucial for
managers. There’s no dearth of opportunities for a proficient person to work in organization
for a longer period, there are several organizations that are searching for efficient staff by
providing good welfare measures. Therefore the research objective is to understand various
welfare amenities offer by the business to keep happy workers and also impact of welfare
facilities on employee satisfaction. Preceding scholars need originate the changed factors
which influence the welfare facilities on employee ’s completion and potential; it is not
produce on fulfillment of human resources hence this study fills that gap by considering
employee welfare facilitie s to retain the employees in the organization. Descriptive research

27
has been used to describe the characteristics of the variablesThe statistical tool utilized for the
study is correlation test and factor analysis to identify the impact of employee welfare
facilities towards employee satisfaction.

Ms. S. Pavithra (2020) Health is normally being defined as a condition of complete


physical, mental and social good and not merely the absence of disease or illness’’. Safety
refers to the nonexistence of accidents.To understand the awareness of safety, health, and
welfare facilities among the employees provided by the organization. To identify the free
from risk provide by the industry.It is suggested that the company should take necessary steps
to provide salary; allowances and other rewards system adequately for the employees
encourage system followed. It is suggested to provide transport facilities and benefits, festival
bonus to improve the employee’s working condition to be booster.The role of management in
implementing health safety and welfare in the organization is very effective.

Ms. R.V. Deeba Sanjana (2020) This study focussed on employee welfare measures,
relationship management, and employee satisfaction. It aims to look into various welfare
measure provided by the company to their employees, and the relationship management
between the various levels of hierarchy, and the employee’s satisfaction towards these. Firstly
by considering the demographic variables including age, gender, educational qualification,
experience and income level. Secondly by considering the factors of dependent and
independent variables. Further, it is observed that the level of employee satisfaction on
welfare measures and employee relationship by demographic factors influence the other
variables. This study is descriptive in nature. Stratified random sampling is adopted, 133
employees of a manufacturing company are observed and analysed the factors among the
employees. After analyzing the whole situation it is concluded that the employee welfare
activities are sufficient and effective for the employees of manufacturing industry.

RESEARCH GAP

Previous studies have focused to analyze the welfare measures offered by companies.
They have not focused in to know the level of satisfaction in statutory welfare measures
provided in the company. They have ignored to evaluate the non-statutory welfare facilities
provided for employees in the company. The present study has focused in to evaluate the
impact of welfare measures on employees performance. There were very few articles related
to problems of employees in welfare measures. Thus the present study fulfils the gap.

CHAPTER-IV - DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

4.1 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research methodology may be defined as a documented prose work. Documented


prose work means organized analysis of the subject based on borrowed materials with
suitable acknowledgement and consultation in the main body of the paper. Research in
management is partially important to find out different phenomena. Its purpose is to find
answers to questions through the application of systematic and scientific methods. “Research
is an academic activity and a systematized effort to gain new knowledge”.

4.1.1 RESEARCH DESIGN

A research design is an arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data


in a manner that aims to combine with relevance to the research purpose with economy in
procedure. The research design adopted for this study is Descriptive research design. A
descriptive research design may be concerned with the attitude /views of a people towards
anything. It concerned with determining with which something occurs or how to variables are
vary together. It is considered as rigid and formal.

Instruments used for the study:

Instrument used for collecting the data is questionnaire. Two types of questionnaire
used here are

 Structured Questionnaire.

 Personal Interviewing

Types of Questions:

Questions are of two types, they are as follows:

 Open-ended questions
 Close-ended questions
Open-ended questions:

These questions are used to get the suggestion from the respondents in order to get
feedback to the company.

29
Close-ended questions:

It is of two types, they are as follows

 Dichotomous (Yes/No) questions: in this type of questions the respondents are


given two choices in which the respondents has to select one. For this type of
questions we can apply statistical tools like internal estimate method.

 Multiple choices questions: in this type of questions the respondents are given 4-5
choices in which the respondents has to select one. For this type of questions we
can apply statistical tools like Chi-square.

4.1.2 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES

Population

Population is the aggregate of all units possessing certain specific characteristics from
which the sample will be drawn. The population of this study is nearly two hundred
employees.

Sampling Method

Sample as a smaller representation of the larger whole. Sample is that by selecting


some of the elements in a population. In this research the research has followed Non-
probability sampling method and used the convenience sampling technique. The samples are
selected on the basis of the convenience to the investigator.

Sample Size

Sample size refers to number of items to be selected from the population to frame a
sample. Here the researcher has selected 132 as a sample size.

Sample Unit

The study is conducted in Nuray Chemicals Pvt Ltd., Thiruvallur. Here sampling unit
is Thiruvallur.

30
4.1.3 DATA COLLECTION

Data is collected from the employees of Nuray Chemicals Pvt Ltd., Thiruvallur. The
researcher had prepared a well structured questionnaire to study the employees’ work life
balance.

Primary Data

Primary data are those which are collected a fresh and for the first time and thus
happen to be original in character. Primary data is collected directly from the worker i.e., data
collected with the help of questionnaire method.

Secondary Data

Secondary data means already available data. Here the secondary data were collected
from the company profile, websites, internet, journals etc. The researcher also collected
information through primary sources as well as secondary sources.

4.1.4 STATISTICAL TOOLS USED

 Simple Percentage method

 Chi-square Test

 Correlation

Simple Percentage method

In this project percentage method test and used. The following are the formula

Percentage of Respondent = No. of Respondent x 100


Total no. of Respondent

Chi-Square Test

Chi-square analysis in statistics is to test the goodness of fit to verify the distribution
of observed data with assumed theoretical distribution. Therefore it is a measure to study the
divergence of actual and expected frequencies.

31
The formula for computing chi-square is as follows.

Chi-square- = ∑ {(O--E) //E}E}

Correlation

The Pearson correlation coefficient is a very helpful statistical formula that


measures the strength between variables and relationships. The coefficient value can range
between -1.00 and 1.00. If the coefficient value is in the negative range, then that means the
relationship between the variables is negatively correlated, or as one value increases, the
other decreases. If the value is in the positive range, then that means the relationship between
the variables is positively correlated, or both values increase or decrease together.

The main result of a correlation is called the correlation coefficient (or "r"). It ranges
from -1.0 to +1.0. The closer r is to +1 or -1, the more closely the two variables are related. If
r is close to 0, it means there is no relationship between the variables. If r is positive, it means
that as one variable gets larger the other gets larger. If r is negative it means that as one gets
larger, the other gets smaller (often called an "inverse" correlation).
