Abstract


Several factors can influence a person's level of job satisfaction such as pay and benefits, perceived fairness of career progression, quality of working conditions, leadership and social relationships to the job etc. In the leather industry in Kolkata regular workers are heterogeneous in terms not only of demographic features,but also of their job-profile, organizational affiliations, earning and their preference factors towards job-satisfaction etc. This paper attempts to analyse the prominent factors causing job satisfaction among the regular employees (including supervisory staffs) in the organized leather industry in Kolkata by the application of appropriate statistical techniques like Varimax method of rotation of factors, correlation matrix, Kaiser-Meyer-Okin measure of sample adequacy (KMO), Factor analysis etc.
