Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

CHAPTER 1

INTROUDUCTION ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP

Organization is a place where the entire employees are going to work together. Commonly
in any organization perception towards the work and organizational Human recourse practices
play the very important role. Human Resource practices in organization describe about the
perception of the employee towards the job and organization. In my Internship study I focused
on the Human Resources practices and Culture of the BSSK Factory, its situated near 5 km to the
Hallikhed village.

In any organization HR practices play the very important role in the development of the
organization and its keep the employee happy with there work. Organization working culture is
going to define the employee perception about the organization and HR Practices. In a present
situation many organizations are focusing to create employees friendly environment and working
condition. Due to the bad Culture and unfriendly HR practices employees are leaving their job or
they changing their work place one organization to another organization and its also somewhere
becoming the trend of the employees in the organization.

The best HR practice in a organization are going to create a good working culture of the
organization. This study brings about the organization culture HR aspects of the employee’s in
the factory. The culture of the organization consists of the values and beliefs of the people in an
organization that support the organizational goals, Organizational culture have an impact on
employees satisfaction. This also describes different dimensions of organizational performance.
Research shows that if employees are committed or having the same norms and values per
organization have, can increase the performance towards achieving the over all organizational
goals.

The review states that various attributes of organization culture have the positive
influence on the performance of the employees in an organization. The organization culture is
the system of shared meaning held by members distinguishes another organization from another
organization. The system shared meaning is key characteristics that organization values.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Organizational culture is conceptualized as shared beliefs and values within the organization
that helps to shape the behavior patterns of employees (Kotter and Heskett, 1992). Gordon and
Cummins (1989) define organization culture as the drive that recognizes the efforts and
contributions of the organizational members and provides holistic understanding of what and
how to be achieved, how goals are interrelated, and how each employee could attain goals.
Hofstede (1990) summarizes organization culture as collective process of the mind that
differentiates the members of one group from the other one.

Thus, we can deduce from above definitions that organizational culture could be the means of
keeping employees in line and acclimatizing them towards organizational objectives. Deal and
Kennedy, (1982) recognizes the link between culture and organizational excellent performances
via its human resource development programmers. These cultural values and human resource
development programmer are consistent with organizational chosen strategies that led to
successful organizations.

The organizational culture is outlined in Schein (1990) as overall phenomenon of the


organization such as natural settings, the rite and rituals, climate, values and programmers of the
company e.g. performance management, training and development, recruitment and selection,
etc.

According to Martins and Terblanche (2003), culture is deeply associated with values and
beliefs shared by personnel in an organization. Organizational culture relates the employees to
Organization’s values, norms, stories, beliefs and principles and incorporates these assumptions
into them as activity and behavioral set of standards. Klein, (1996) positioned organizational
culture as the core of organization’s activities which has aggregate impact on its overall
effectiveness and the quality of its product and services. Schein (2004) defined organizational
culture as a dynamic force within the organization which is revolving, engaging and interactive
and it is shaped up by the employees and management gestures, behaviors and attitudes.

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 5


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

Organizational culture is the basic pattern of shared assumptions, values and beliefs
considered to be the correct way of thinking about and acting on problems and opportunities
facing the organization. It is what is important and unimportant in the organization. It is often
thought of as organization’ DNA- i.e. invisible to the naked eye, yet a powerful template that
shapes what happens in the workplace. Hence why Schneider and Smith (2004) argues that
culture begins with leadership and passed on to the organizational members; it is seen as a set of
forces that shape and determine human behavior.

The culture of an organization is brought about as a result of different factors some of


which include the influences of national culture, previous events in the organization, the
different personalities and the socialization individual members experienced as a result of past
educational and work settings (Mahler, 1997). It includes the assumptions, values and beliefs of
organization. Assumptions are the shared mental models, the broad worldviews or theories in
use that people rely on to guide their perceptions and behaviors, for example, employees assume
that the company’s integrity to employees/staff compensation administration is one of the keys
to the company’s survival and success. Organization’s beliefs represent the individual’s
perceptions of reality.

Organizations differ in their cultural content in terms of the relative ordering of beliefs,
values and assumptions. For instance, some organization practices place a premium on their
recruitment and selection, training and development programmer, compensation administration
and even, performance management. Also, some place a premium on career development, goal
setting and pay-for-performance, all with the intent of maximizing employee performance and
customer service. This will help to create a culture of high performance across the organization.

An organizational culture can also influence the recruitment and selection activities of an
organization. This makes sense because good behavior is driven by ethical values. An
organization can guide the conduct of its employees by embedding ethical values in its culture.

Organizational culture is the social glue that bonds people together and makes them feel
part of the organizational experience. Employees are motivated to internalize the organization’s
dominant culture because it fulfils their needs for social identity. This social glue serves as a way
to attract new staff and retain top performers.

CHAPTER 2

INDUSTRY PROFILE

Sugarcane has been widely cultivated in India since time immemorial. Its cultivation and
uses are mentioned in ancient Indian literature. During king’s administration in India lot of
travelers are visited to India and they written in their books about the sugarcane. The first sugar
factory was established in India dates back to 1610 by Captain Hippon at Masulipatam and
Petapoli on the coromondel coasts, and subsequently one at Surat on the west coast by captain
Best and Downton in 1612. The rapid development in sugarcane cultivation and sugar in India
industry in the country have earned India’s prestigious position among sugar producing nation in
the world. Today it maintains the second position, next to Brazil. The sugar industry has become
a major in socioeconomic transformation of rural India.

It’s universally known that India is the homeland of sugarcane and sugar. The cultivation
of sugar was written in the Kautilyas Arthshastra. Although sugarcane was being grown in India
from time immemorial and sugar produced in lumps during fourth century, there was no sugar
industry in India. It is said that first sugar plant in India was established by the French people at
Aska in Orissa in 1824. Not much is known about this factory.

Sugar is made from sugarcane, and was discovered thousands of years ago in New
Guinea. And then the route was traced to India and Southeast Asia. India was the first to begin
the production of sugar following the process of pressing sugarcane to extract juice and boil it to
get crystals. The government of India in 1950-51 made serious industrial development plans and
set many targets for production and consumption of sugar.

The plans laid by the government projected installment capacity for the sugar industry in its Five
Year Plans. India is well known as the original home of sugar and sugarcane. Indian mythology
supports the fact it contains legends showing the origin of sugarcane. Today India is the second
largest producer of sugarcane next to Brazil.

The sugar industry's contribution to the rural economy has significant social and economic
impact for the nation as well. The sugar industry is a green industry and is largely self- sufficient
in energy needs through utilization of biogases for generating electricity and steam. Sugar
industry is probably the only industry in the country which utilizes all its by-products
commercially by value addition thereby contributing towards the renewable power generation
and green bio-fuel namely, Ethanol. The National Policy on Bio-fuels, approved by the
Government, has targeted for a 20 percent ethanol blending programme by 20171 .

Around 327 B.C. sugarcane was an important crop in the Indian sub-continent when
Alexander the great, invaded India. The traditional sweeteners of India like Guru & Khandsari
are consumed mostly by the rural population in the country.

The first Sugar Company in India was set up in 1903 with a modest cane crushing
capacity with a few vacuum pan units established in sub-tropical belts of Uttar Pradesh and
Bihar. The first sugar manufacturing company for the production of white sugar was set up by
the Dutch in 1840, in north Bihar. The first successful sugar company was established in 1903 by
the British.

When the modern sugar industry was set up, it faced intense competition from the
factory made white sugar. India was the first to begin with the production of sugar by the process
of pressing sugarcane to extract juice and boil it to get crystals. In the early 1930’s nearly 2/3rd
of sugarcane production was used for the production of alternate sweeteners like Gur &
Khandsari. Because of the better standard of living and higher incomes, the sweetener demand
has shifted to white sugar. Nearly 1/3rd of the sugarcane production is used by the Gur &
Khandsari sectors2 .

In the year 1930 there was an advent of modern sugar processing industry in India which
was started with the grant of tariff protection to the sugar industry. In the year 1930-31 the
number of sugar mills increased from 30 to 135 with production of 100000 million tons of sugar
and they found adverse competition from Japanese sugar which was ruling the Indian market.
And in the year 1935-36 the production was increased from 1.20 lakh tons to 9.34 lakh tons
under the dynamic leadership of the private sector. In the year 1950-51 the era of planning for
industrial development began and the Government laid down targets of sugar production and
consumption.

In the year 2010-2011 the number of sugar mills increased to 527 mills which are in
operation with the production capacity of 239.807 million tons3 . Indian Sugar Industry
generates power for its own requirement and even gets surplus power for export to the grid based
on byproduct bagasse. Indian sugar production is poised to increase to 29.8 million metric tons
(raw value basis) in the marketing year 2012-2013 (October-September) due to an.

The government of India closely monitors sugarcane and its production as they have a
substantial effect on the lives of the people. The industry is governed by a variety of regulation
imposed by the central and the state government.

• Essential Commodities Act, 1955: -The objective of the EC Act is to control the
production, supply, distribution and trade and commerce in the essential commodity.

• Sugarcane (Control) Order, 1966: - Sugarcane (Control) Order, 1966 provides for price
(SMP) for sugarcane purchased by sugar mills during each sugar season (Clause 3), payment of
interest at 15% per annum on amounts due beyond 14 days of delivery of sugarcane at factory
gate (Clause 3(3-A), payment of additional cane price to the growers (Clause 5-A) regulation of
distribution and movement of sugarcane (Clause 6), licensing of power crushers and Khandsari
units and regulation, issue of directions to producers of Khandsari sugar (Clause - 8), power to
call for information etc. from producers (Clause - 9), power to entry, search and seizure (Clause
9-A) and delegation of powers conferred by the Sugar (Control) Order, 1966 to any officer or
authority of the central or state government.

• Levy Sugar Supply (Control) Order, 1979: -Levy Sugar Supply (Control) Order, 1979,
provides for powers to issue direction to producer or dealer for supply of levy sugar requisitioned
by the central government through an order made with reference to section 3(2) (f) of the E.C.
Act, 1955.

CHALLENGES OF INDIAN SUGAR INDUSTRY

India ranks first in sugar consumption and second in sugar production in the world.
Indian sugar industry has been facing raw material, and resource as well as infrastructural
problems. Globalization has brought a number of opportunities but at the same time posed
certain challenges before sugar industry. Mounting losses and decreasing net worth of sugar
factories have been responsible for sickness of sugar industry10. Sickness in sugar industry has
reached to an alarming proportion.

Indian sugar industry has been cash-striven for decades. Low cash inflow due to piling
stocks leads to serious financial crisis and finally to closing sugar factories. Sugar prices have
been a political issue rather than economical issue. Many a times it worsens the economy of
sugar factories. The main concern of sugar industry in India is fluctuations in sugarcane
production, due to inadequate irrigation facilities, lower sugarcane yield, and frequent droughts
in tropical and sub-tropical areas where sugarcane is grown on a large-scale.

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 10


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

India has to gear up to the new challenges of higher cane and sugar production to meet
the future requirement. With the present trend of sugarcane and sugar production India will be
hard, to sustain effort and is needed to increase the present trend of cane production to a level
that India becomes a sugarcane surplus country. Government controls on domestic sales and
exports make commercial planning very difficult. The strong refining and inventory financing
capacities needed to smoothen the sugar cycle.

COMPANY PROFILE

The Bidar Sahakari Sakkare Kharkhane, the oldest sugar producing cooperative in the
district, may not crush sugarcane this year. Bad debts and ineffective management have driven
the factory to this stage, allege farmers.
The other reasons they attribute include fall in total output of sugarcane, the resultant
high prices, lack of funds to clean and maintain machinery, settle dues of farmers and pay
labourers.
The factory in Hallikhed-Bujurg village, 30 km from the district headquarters, was started
in 1961-62, by collecting share capital from farmers. Successive governments have provided
working capital assistance before every crushing season. But the demand for converting these
government funds into state equity has not been met by the state government.
The amount of sugarcane crushed has varied over the years, though its optimum capacity
is 3,500 tonnes per day. The factory is supposed to function for a season of 100-120 days every

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 11

year. But since the quantum of cane crushed had dropped from four lakh tonnes to 70,000 tonnes
per season between 2013 to 2015, the unit has serviced only a sixth of the number of farm
families in an average year. This year, officials say, the factory may not begin crushing at all.

BSSK LTD. Hallikhed:

The Bidar co-operative sugar factory hallikhed was established in the year 1961-62 under
dynamic leadership of Mr. Gurupadappa m. Kheny. The factory started on the basis of co-
operative society system.Estimated cost of project was 3 cores and this occupies the area around
168 acres and its crushing capacity was 1250 TCD in 1969, in the year 1991-92 it was increased
to 2000 TCD.

Now it is 3500TCD. This factory is located near KARANJA River and it is 30 km away
from the Bidar and just 4 km away from the hallikhed. Bidar is centre place for transportation
because NH-9 Passes here and it also connects various talukas and districts.

The company has more than 1000 employees including administration and technical
experts. Human resources being the most important asset of the factory, all the efforts are made
to enhance the motivational level and efficiency of the employees.

In Karnataka state there are about 40 sugar industries are existing and out of 40, 20 are
in private sector, 18 are in cooperative sector and remaining 2 are in public sector. The sugar
industries are located in rural areas and have an intrinsic symbiotic relationship with rural
mass.

Some sugar industries are having its own cogent units which are supplying their surplus
power to state grids or to private parties

However, alleged non professional management practices, nepotism and even financial
irregularities have pushed the factory to making losses. It suffers from an accumulated loss of
Rs. 195 corer, half of which are estimated to be unpaid debts.

Two inquiries by the Department of Cooperation pointed out that the factory was buying
raw materials, other than sugarcane, at inflated prices and selling produce, including sugar and
bagasse, at lower than market prices. The inquiries also found that the factory was overstaffed,
with the total number of full time and part-time employees stretching beyond 1,100.
Administrative boards, headed mostly by politicians, including former minister late Mirajuddin
Patel, Subhash Kallur, Eshwar Khandre and Sanjay Kheny, have been at the helm of affairs at
the factory in the past. Mr. Kheny, the latest incumbent, has resigned, citing non-cooperation
from other board members.

Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

The company has ambitious plans to utilize various by – products in a systematic way as
follows:

BAGASSE:
Bagasse is a fibrous residue of cane stalk that is obtained after crushing and extraction of
juice. It consist of water, fiber and relatively small quantities of soluble solids, the compensation
of bagasse varies based on the variety of sugarcane, maturity of cane, method of harvesting and
the efficiency of the sugar mill, the usual bagasse composition is given in exhibit 5 as shown
below.

Moisture 46%

Fibers 43%

Soluble solids 12%

Bagasse is usually as a combustible in the furnaces to product steam, which in turn is used to

 Power generation
 Paper production
 Particle board
 Cattle feed and furniture

MOLASSES
Molasses is the final effluent in the preparation of sugar by repeated crystallization. It’s
the end product from a refining process carried out yield sugar. Sucrose and invert sugars
constitute a major portion of molasses. The yield of molasses per ton of sugarcane varies in
the range of 3.5% to 4.5%. Molasses is mainly used for the manufacture of

 Ethyl alcohol (Ethanol)


 Yeast
 Cattle feed
 Portable liquor downstream value added chemical such as acetone, acetic acid,
butonol, acetic anhydride etc.

THEROTICAL BACHGROUND OF THE STUDY

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 28


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

Human Resource Management (HRM) is a relatively new approach to managing people


in any organization. People are considered the key resource in this approach. it is concerned with
the people dimension in management of an organization. Since an organization is a body of
people, their acquisition, development of skills, motivation for higher levels of attainments, as
well as ensuring maintenance of their level of commitment are all significant activities. These
activities fall in the domain of HRM.

Human Resource Management is a process, which consists of four main activities,


namely, acquisition, development, motivation, as well as maintenance of human resources.

Scott, Clothier and Spiegel have defined Human Resource Management as that branch of
management which is responsible on a staff basis for concentrating on those aspects of
operations which are primarily concerned with the relationship of management to employees and
employees to employees and with the development of the individual and the group.

Human Resource Management is responsible for maintaining good human relations in the
organization. It is also concerned with development of individuals and achieving integration of
goals of the organization and those of the individuals.

Northcott considers human resource management as an extension of general


management, that of prompting and stimulating every employee to make his fullest contribution
to the purpose of a business. Human resource management is not something that could be
separated from the basic managerial function. It is a major component of the broader managerial
function.

French Wendell defines Human resource management as the recruitment, selection,


development, utilization, compensation and motivation of human resources by the organization.

According to Edwin B. Flippo, Human resource management is the planning, organizing,


directing and controlling of the procurement, development, resources to the end that individual
and societal objectives are accomplished‖. This definition reveals that human resource (HR). This definition reveals that human resource (HR)
management is that aspect of management, which deals with the planning, organizing, directing
and controlling the personnel functions of the enterprise.

IMPORTANCE OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Human Resource Management has a place of great importance. According to Peter F.


Drucker, ―The proper or improper use of the different factors of production depends on the

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 29


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

wishes of the human resources. Hence, besides other resources human resources need more
development. Human resources can increase cooperation but it needs proper and efficient
management to guide it‖. This definition reveals that human resource (HR).

Importance of personnel management is in reality the importance of labour functions of


personnel department which are indispensable to the management activity itself. Because of the
following reasons human resource management holds a place of importance.

1. It helps management in the preparation adoption and continuing evolution of


personnel programmes and policies.
2. It supplies skilled workers through scientific selection process.
3. It ensures maximum benefit out of the expenditure on training and
development and appreciates the human assets.
4. It prepares workers according to the changing needs of industry and
environment.
5. It motivates workers and upgrades them so as to enable them to accomplish
the organization goals.
6. Through innovation and experimentation in the fields of personnel, it helps in
reducing casts and helps in increasing productivity.
7. It contributes a lot in restoring the industrial harmony and healthy employer-
employee relations.
8. It establishes mechanism for the administration of personnel services that are
delegated to the personnel department.

Thus, the role of human resource management is very important in an


organization and it should not be undermined especially in large scale enterprises. It is
the key to the whole organization and related to all other activities of the management
i.e., marketing, production, finance etc.

Human Resource Management is concerned with the managing people as


organizational resources rather than as factors of production. It involves a system to be
followed in business firm to recruit, select, hire, train and develop human assets. It is

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 30


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

concerned with the people dimension of an organization. The attainment of


organizational objectives depends, to a great extent, on the way in which people are
recruited, developed and utilized by the management. Therefore, proper co-ordination of
human efforts and effective utilization of human and others material resources is
necessary.

FUNCTIONS OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

The main functions of human resource management are classified into two categories:

o Managerial Functions and


o Operative Functions

A. Managerial Functions

Following are the managerial functions of Human Resources Management.

1. Planning :
The planning function of human resource department pertains to the steps taken in
determining in advance personnel requirements, personnel programmes, policies etc.
After determining how many and what type of people are required, a personnel manager
has to devise ways and means to motivate them
2. Organization :
Under organization, the human resource manager has to organize the operative
functions by designing structure of relationship among jobs, personnel and physical
factors in such a way so as to have maximum contribution towards organizational
objectives. In this way a personnel manager performs following functions.

(a) Preparation of task force;

(b) Allocation of work to individuals;

(c) Integration of the efforts of the task force;

(d) Coordination of work of individual with that of the department.

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 31


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

3. Directing:

Directing is concerned with initiation of organized action and stimulating the


people to work. The personnel manager directs the activities of people of the organization
to get its function performed properly. A personnel manager guides and motivates the
staff of the organization to follow the path laid down in advance.

4. Controlling:

It provides basic data for establishing standards, makes job analysis and
performance appraisal, etc. All these techniques assist in effective control of the qualities,
time and efforts of workers.
B. Operative Functions: The following are the Operative Functions of Human Resource
Management.
1. Procurement of Personnel :
It is concerned with the obtaining of the proper kind and number of personnel
necessary to accomplish organization goals. It deals specifically with such subjects as the
determination of manpower requirements, their recruitment, selecting, placement and
orientation, etc.

2. Development of Personnel :
Development has to do with the increase through training, skill that is necessary
for proper job performance. In this process various techniques of training are used to
develop the employees. Framing a sound promotion policy, determination of the basis of
promotion and making performance appraisal are the elements of personnel development
function

3. Compensation to Personnel :
Compensation means determination of adequate and equitable remuneration of
personnel for their contribution to organization objectives. To determine the monetary
compensation for various jobs is one of the most difficult and important function of the
personnel management. A number of decisions are taken into the function, viz., job-

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 32


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

evaluation, remuneration, policy, inventive and premium plans, bonus policy and co-
partnership, etc. It also assists the organization for adopting the suitable wages and
salaries, policy and payment of wages and salaries in right time.

4. Maintaining Good Industrial Relation :


Human Resource Management covers a wide field. It is intended to reduce
strafes, promote industrial peace, provide fair deal to workers and establish industrial
democracy. It the personnel manager is unable to make harmonious relations between
management and lab our industrial unrest will take place and millions of man-days will
be lost. If lab our management relations are not good the moral and physical condition of
the employee will suffer, and it will be a loss to an organization vis-a-visa nation. Hence,
the personnel manager must create harmonious relations with the help of sufficient
communication system and co-partnership.

5. Record Keeping :

In record-keeping the personnel manager collects and maintains information concerned


with the staff of the organization. It is essential for every organization because it assists the
management in decision making such as in promotions.

6. Personnel Planning and Evaluation :


Under this system different type of activities are evaluated such as evaluation of
performance, personnel policy of an organization and its practices, personnel audit,
morale, survey and performance appraisal, etc.

HUMAN RESOURCE PRACTICES IN THE ORGANIZATION:

JOB ANALYSIS
Job Analysis is a procedure, by which pertinent information is obtained about a job, i.e., it is
a detailed and systematic study of information relating to the operation and responsibilities of a

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 33


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

specific job. An authority has defined job analysis as the process of determining, by observation and
study, and reporting pertinent information relating to the nature of a specific job. It is the
determination of the tasks which comprise the job and of the skills, knowledge, abilities and
responsibilities required of the worker for a successful performance and which differentiate one job
from all others

Job analysis provides the following information:


1. Job Identification: Its title, including its code number.
2. Significant Characteristics of a Job: It location, physical setting, supervision, union
jurisdiction, hazards and discomforts.
3. What the Typical Worker Does : Specific operation and tasks that make up an
assignment, their relative timing and importance, their simplicity, routine or complexity,
the responsibility or safety of others for property, funds, confidence and trust.
4. Which Materials and Equipment a Worker Uses: Metals, plastics, grains, yarns,
milling machines, punch presses and micrometers.
5. How a Job is Performed: Nature of operation - lifting, handling, cleaning, washing,
feeding, removing, drilling, driving, setting-up and many others.
6. Required Personal Attributes: Experience, training, apprenticeship, physical strength,
co-ordination or dexterity, physical demands, mental capabilities, aptitudes, social skills.
7. Job Relationship: Experience required opportunities for advancement, patterns of
promotions, essential co-operation, direction, or leadership from and for a job.

METHODS OF JOB ANALYSIS:

Four methods or approaches are utilized in analyzing jobs. These are

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 34


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

1. Personal Observation: The materials and equipment used, the working conditions and
probable hazards, and an understanding of what the work involves are the facts which
should be known by an analyst.
2. Sending out of Questionnaires: This method is usually employed by engineering
consultants. Properly drafted questionnaires are sent out to job-holders for completion
and are returned to supervisors. However, the information received is often unorganized
and incoherent. The idea in issuing questionnaire is to elicit the necessary information
from job-holders so that any error may first be discussed with the employee and, after due
corrections, may be submitted to the job analyst.
3. Maintenance of Long Records: The employee maintains a daily record of duties he
performs, marking the time at which each task is started and finished. But this system is
incomplete, for it does not give us any desirable data on supervisor relationship, the
equipment used, and working conditions. Moreover, it is time-consuming.
4. Personal Interviews may be held by the analyst with the employees, and answers to
relevant questions may be recorded. But the method is time-consuming and costly.

JOB DESIGN:
Job analysis helps in developing appropriate design of job to improve efficiency and
satisfaction. Job design is the process of deciding on the contents of a job in terms of its duties
and responsibilities, on the methods to be used in carrying out the job, in terms of techniques,
systems and procedures and on the relationships that should exist between the jobholder and his
superiors, subordinates and colleagues. It is a deliberate and systematic attempt to structure the
technical and social aspects of work so as to improve technical efficiency and job satisfaction.
Job design is an attempt to create a match between job requirements and human attributes. It
involves both organizing the components of the job and the interaction patterns among the
members of a work group.

RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION

Recruitment means search of the prospective employee to suit the job requirements as
represented by job specification–a technique of job analysis. It is the first stage in selection

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 35


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

which makes the vacancies known to a large number of people and the opportunities that the
organization offers. In response to this knowledge, potential applicants would write to the
organization. The process of attracting people to apply in called recruitment.

According to Edwin B. Flippo: Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective


employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization.

SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT:

The various sources of recruitment are generally classified as internal source and external source.
(a) Internal Sources : This refers to the recruitment from within the company. The
various internal sources are promotion, transfer, past employees and internal
advertisements.
(b) External Sources : External sources refers to the practice of getting suitable
persons from outside. The various external sources are advertisement, employment
exchange, past employees, private placement agencies and consultants, walks-ins,
campus recruitment, trade unions, etc.

The following external sources of recruitment are commonly used by the big enterprises:

1. Direct Recruitment: An important source of recruitment is direct recruitment by placing


a notice on the notice board of the enterprise specifying the details of the jobs available.
It is also known as recruitment at factory gate.
2. Casual Callers or Unsolicited Applications: The organizations which are regarded as
good employers draw a steady stream of unsolicited applications in their offices. This
serves as a valuable source of manpower. If adequate attention is paid to maintain
pending application folders for various jobs, the personnel department may find the
unsolicited applications useful in filling the vacancies whenever they arise. The merit of
this source of recruitment is that it avoids the costs of recruiting workforce from other
sources.
3. Media Advertisement: Advertisement in newspapers or trade and professional journals
is generally used when qualified and experienced personnel are not available from other
sources. Most of the senior positions in industry as well as commerce are filled by this

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 36


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

method. The advantage of advertising is that more information about the organization job
descriptions and job specifications can be given in advertisement to allow self-screening
by the prospective candidates. Advertisement gives the management a wider range of
candidates from which to choose. Its disadvantage is that is may bring in a flood of
response, and many times, from quite unsuitable candidates.
4. Employment Agencies: Employment exchanges run by the Government are regarded as
a good source of recruitment for unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled operative jobs. In
some cases, compulsory notification of vacancies to the employment exchange is
required by law. Thus, the employment exchanges bring the jobs givers in contact with
the job seekers.
5. Management Consultants: Management consultancy firms help the organizations to
recruit technical, professional and managerial personnel they specialize middle level and
top level executive placements. They maintain data bank of persons with different
qualifications and skills and even advertise the jobs on behalf their clients to recruit right
type of personnel.
6. Educational Institutions or Campus Recruitment: Jobs in commerce and industry
have become increasing technical and complex to the point where school and college
degrees are widely required. Consequently big organizations maintain a close liaison with
the universities, vocational institutes and management institutes for recruitment to
various jobs.
7. Recommendation: Applicants introduced by friends and relatives may prove to be a
good source of recruitment. In fact, many employers prefer to take such persons because
something about their background is known. When a present-employee or a business
friend recommends some one for a job, a type of preliminary screening is done and the
person is placed on a job.

SELECTION PROCESS:

The selection process begins with the job specification. The more dearly and precisely it
is done the less would be the number of qualified applicants. Suppose the purpose is to select

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 37


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

management trainees. If the qualification prescribed is MBA, the number of applicants may
be in hundred. If the qualification is graduation in any discipline, the number of applicants
may be in thousand. Of course, the reputation of the firm, the job content, compensation
package, location, etc. also influences the response to any, recruitment drive. But Job
specification does play an important role m deciding the quantity and, quality of response
from prospective applicants.

The selection process covers the period from the job specification and initial contact with
the applicant to his final acceptance or rejection. The successive stages in the selection
process are referred to as hurdles that the applicants should cross. Not all selection processes,
however, include all these stages. The complexity of the selection process usually increases
with the increase in the skill level and job level (responsibility and accountability) of the
position for which selection is being made. The sequencing of the hurdles also may vary
from job to job and organization to organization.

Initial Screening: The initial screening and/or preliminary interview is done to limit the
costs of selection by letting only suitable candidates go through the further stages in
selection. At this stage, usually a junior executive either screens all enquiries for positions
against specified norms (in terms of age, qualifications and experience) through preliminary
interview where information is exchanged about the job, the applicant and the, mutual
expectations of the individual and the organization.

Application Form : The application form is usually designed to obtain information on


various aspects, of the applicant‘s social, demographic, academic and work-related
background and references. The forms may vary for different positions some organizations
may not have any form specially designed instead, ask the candidates to write applications on
a plain sheet.

Tests: A test is a sample of an aspect of an individual‘s behavior, performance or


attitude. It also provides a systematic basis for comparing the behavior, performance or
attitude of two or more persons. Tests serve as a screening device and provide supplementary

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 38


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

inputs in selection decisions. Their value lies in the. fact that they serve additional predictors
intended to make selection decision more apt and accurate.

Aptitude Tests: Aptitude refers to one‘s natural propensity or talent or ability to acquire
a particular skill. While intelligence is a general trait, aptitude refers to a more specific
capacity or potential. It could relate to mechanical dexterity, clerical, linguistic, musical
academic etc.

INTERVIEW

Interview is an oral examination of candidates for employment. No selection process is


complete without one or more interviews. Interview is the most common and core method of
both obtaining information from job-seekers, and decision-making on their suitability.

Interviews usually take place at two crucial stages in the selection process, i.e., at the
beginning and in the end. Interviews can differ in terms of their focus and format. Usually
several individuals interview one applicant. This is called panel interview. Such panels usually
consist of representatives from-personnel and concerned operating units/line functions. In this
method, usually, applicants get screened from one stage to another, at least in the initial stages.
The interviews can be structured or unstructured general or in-depth. Some times where the job
requires the job holder to remain claim and composed under pressure, the candidates are
intentionally objected to stress and strains in the interview by asking some annoying or
embarrassing questions. This type of interview called the stress interview.

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL:

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 39


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

Performance appraisal or Performance evaluation is a method of evaluating the behavior


of employees in a work place, normally including both the quantitative and qualitative aspect of
job performance. Performance here refers to the degree of accomplishment of the tasks that
makeup an individual‘job. It indicates how well an individual fulfilling the job demands.
Performance is measured in terms of results. Thus, Performance appraisal is the process of
assessing the performance or progress of an employee, or a group of employees on the given job,
as well as his potential for future development. Thus, performance appraisal comprises all formal
procedures used in organizations to evaluate contributions, personality, and potential of
individual employees. In other words, performance appraisal includes the comparison of
performance scales of different individuals holding similar areas of work responsibilities and
relate to determination of worth of the scales for the achievement of organization objective.

According to Edwin Flippo, Performance appraisal is the systematic, periodic and an


impartial rating of an employee‘s excellence in matters pertaining to his present job and his
potential for a better job.

PURPOSE OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

The following are the main purposes of performance appraisal.

1. Appraisal Procedure: It provides a common and unified measure of performance


appraisal, so that all employee are evaluated in the same manner. It gives an in
discriminatory rating of all the employees.
2. Decision Making: Performance appraisal of the employees is extremely useful in the
decision making process of the organization. In selection, training, promotion, pay
increment and in transfer, performance appraisal is very useful tool.
3. Work Performance Records: Performance appraisal gives us complete information
in the form of records regarding every employee. In the case of industrial disputes
even arbitrator accepts these records in the course of grievance handling procedure.
4. Employees Development: Performance appraisal guides the employees in removing
their defects and improving their working. The weaknesses of the employee recorded
in the performance appraisal provide the basis for an individual development

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 40


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

programme. If properly recorded and used, the performance appraisal gives the fair
opportunities to employees to correct and rectify their mistakes.
5. Enables Supervisors to be More Alert and Competent: Performance appraisal
enables supervisor to be more alert and competent and to improve the quality of
supervision by giving him a complete record of employee's performance. He can guide
an employee, where he is prone to commit mistakes.
6. Improves Employer Employee Relations: Performance appraisal is not only a useful
guide for the supervisors and employees but it improves the employer-employee
relations by creating a more conductive and amicable atmosphere in the organization.
It also stimulates free exchange of thoughts and ideas between the supervisor and his
men. In this way performance appraisal bridges the emotional gap between the
employer and employee by bringing them more close and by reducing man-to-man
differences in the organization.

JOB EVALUATION

According to Wendell French, job evaluation is a process of determining the relative


worth of the various jobs within the organization, so that differential wages may be paid to jobs
of different worth. The relative worth of a job means relative value produced. The variables
which are assumed to be related to value produced are such factors as responsibility, skill, effort
and working conditions.

Job evaluation is a process of comparing jobs with other jobs in terms of the demand a
job makes on the worker.lt does not set the price of a job; it merely fixes its relative worth. It
presents an effort to determine the relative value of every job in a plant, and to determine what
the fair basic wage for such a job should be. It is not evaluating the ,merit of the worker who is
doing the work. It rates the job and not the qualities of the individual worker on the job, which is
the task of employee rating.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 41


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

Training is an organized activity for increasing the knowledge and skills of people for a
definite purpose. It involves systematic procedures for transferring technical know-how to the
employees so as to increase their knowledge and skills for doing specific jobs with proficiency.
In other words, the trainees acquire technical knowledge, skills and problem solving ability by
undergoing the training programme. According to Edwin B. Flippo, Training is the act of
increasing the knowledge and skills of an employee for doing a particular job. Training involves
the development of skills that are usually necessary to perform a specific job. Its purpose is to
achieve a change in the behavior of those trained and to enable them to do; their jobs better.
Training makes newly appointed workers fully productive in the minimum of time. Training is
equally necessary for the old employees whenever new machines and equipment are introduced
and/or there is a change in the techniques of doing the things. In fact, training is a continuous
process. It does not stop anywhere. The managers are continuously engaged in training their
subordinates. They should ensure that any training programme should attempt to bring about
positive Changes in the (i) Knowledge, (ii) skills, and (iii) attitudes of the workers. The purpose
of training is to bring about improvement in the performance of work. It includes the learning of
such techniques as are required for the better performance of definite task.

There is a growing realization about the importance of training in Indian organizations,


specially after globalization. This has posed a lot of challenges to Indian industries. Without
efficiency, effectiveness and competency, it would be impossible to survive and to be
internationally competitive, all out efforts are required. Quality innovation, technology
upgradation,cost reduction and productive work culture, have thus become the slogans of every
industry, which no organization will be able to achieve without continuously training its human
resources. Justifiably, therefore, there is an upward trend in investment in training in many
organizations. But increasing the investment in training and hiking training budgets is not going
to achieve desired results. There are certain fundamentals and basic in training which must be
given due importance if investments have to bring in returns.

Training generally is intended to provide training experiences that help people perform
efficiently in their present and future jobs. Training is a process in which abilities are developed
into specific required skills knowledge or attitudes.

NEED AND IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 42


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

1. Increasing Productivity: Instruction can help employees increase their level of


performance on their present job assignment. Increased human performance often
directly leads to increased operational productivity and increased company profit. Again,
increased performance and productivity, because of training, are most evident on the part
of new employees who are not yet fully aware of the most efficient and effective ways of
performing their jobs.
2. Improving Quality: Better informed workers are less likely to make operational
mistakes. Quality increases may be in relationship to a company product or service, or in
reference to the intangible organizational employment atmosphere.
3. Helping a Company Fulfill its Future Personnel Needs: Organizations that have a
good internal educational programme will have to make less drastic manpower changes
and adjustments in the event of sudden personnel alternations. When the need arises,
organizational vacancies can more easily be staffed from internal sources if a company
initiates and maintains and adequate instructional programme for both its non-supervisory
and managerial employees.
4. Improving Organizational Climate: An endless chain of positive reactions results from
a well-planned training programme. Production and product quality may improve;
financial incentives may then be increased, internal promotions become stressed, less
supervisory pressures ensue and base pay rate increases result. Increased morale may be
due to many factors, but one of the most important of these is the current state of an
organization’s educational Endeavour.
5. Improving Health and Safety: Proper training can help prevent industrial accidents. A
safer work environment leads, to more stable mental attitudes on the part of employees.
Managerial mental state would also improve if supervisors now that they can better
themselves through company-designed development programmes.
6. Personal Growth: Employees on a personal basis gain individually from their exposure
to educational experiences. Again, Management development programmes seem to give
participants a wider awareness, an enlarged skin, an enlightened altruistic philosophy,
and make enhanced personal growth possible.

METHODS OF TRAINING

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 43


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

The following methods are generally used to provide training:

On-the-Job Training Methods: This type of training is imparted on the job and at the
work place where the employee is expected to perform his duties. It enables the worker to get
training under the same working conditions and environment and with the same materials,
machines and equipments that he will be using ultimately after completing the training. This
follows the most effective methods of training the operative personnel and generally used in
most of the individual undertaking.

1. On Specific Job: On the job training methods is used to provide training for a
specific job such a electrician motor mechanic pluming etc.
2. Job Rotation: The major objective of job rotation training is the broadening of
the background of trainee in the organization. If trainee is rotated periodically
from one job to another job, he acquires a general background. The main
advantages are it provides a general background to the trainee, training takes
place in actual situation, competition can be stimulated among the rotating
trainees, and it stimulates a more co-operative attitude by exposing a man to
other fellow problem and view-points.
3. Apprenticeship: Under this method, the trainee is placed under a qualified
supervisor or instructor for a long period of time depending upon the job and
skill required. Wages paid to the trainee are much less than those paid to
qualified workers. This type of training is suitable in profession, trades, crafts
and technical areas like fitter, turner, electrician, welders, carpenters etc.

OFF-THE-JOB TRAINING METHODS

1. Special Courses and Lectures: Lecturing is the most traditional form of formal training
method Special courses and lectures can be established by business organizations in
numerous ways as a part of their development programmes. First, there are courses,
which the reorganizations themselves establish to be taught by members of the
organizations. Some organizations have regular instructors assigned to their training and
development such as Tata and Hindustan Lever in private sector; Life Insurance

VISVESVARAYA TECHNONOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Page 44


Employee Perception about Organization HR Practices & Culture

Corporation. State Bank of India and other nationalized commercial banks, Reserve
Bank, Hindustan Steel, Fertilizer Corporation and many others in public sector.
2. Conferences: This is also an old method, but still a favorite training method. In order to
escape the limitations of straight lecturing many organizations have adopted guided,
discussion type of conferences in their training programmes. In this method, the
participants pools, their ideas and experience in attempting to arrive at improved methods
of dealing with the problems, which are common subject of discussion; Conferences may
include buzz sessions that divide conferences into small groups of four or five intensive
discussion.
3. Brainstorming : This is the method of stimulating trainees to creative thinking This
approach developed by Alex Osborn seeks to reduce inhibiting forces by providing for a
maximum of group participation and a minimum of criticism. A problem is posed and
ideas are invited. Quantity rather quality is the primary objective. Ideas are encouraged
and criticism of any idea is discouraged. Chain reactions from idea to idea often develop.
Later these ideas are critically examined. There is no trainer in brainstorming and it has
been found that the introduction of known exports into it will reduce the originality and
practicability of the group contribution, Brainstorming frankly favors divergence, and his
fact may be explain why brainstorming is so little used as yet in developing countries
where no solutions ought to carry the highest premium.
4. Case Studies: This technique, which has been developed, popularized by the Harvard
Business School, U.S.A is one of the most common form of training. A case is a written
account of a trained reporter of analyst seeking to describe an actual situation. Some
causes are merely illustrative; others are detailed and comprehensive demanding
extensive and intensive analytical ability. Cases are widely used in variety of
programmes. This method increases the trainee‘s power of observation, helping him to
ask better questions and to look for broader range of problems.
