Executive Summary
National Bank Limited is running its business successfully in Bangladesh from March
28, 1983 onwards. This study is the result of my internship program ran for the past
three months placed at the National Bank Ltd. Jatrabari Branch, Dhaka. It has already
developed reputation among the users. The bank operates its all products as the Jatrabari
Branch is middle of the city. As a result the branch has to deal with commercial and
non-commercial clients. Therefore, the branch has all level of employees of the bank.
Employee satisfaction is the terminology used to describe whether employees are happy
and contented and fulfilling their desires and needs at work. Many measures purport
that employee satisfaction is a factor in employee motivation, employee goal
achievement, and positive employee morale in the workplace.
Since my internship program was directed to understand the level of job satisfaction, I
had to gain the practical area of responsibilities and of accountabilities of the employee
so that I could interact with them to assess their views about and relations with the
organization. I tried best to ask the staffs directly and indirectly to gather my
information. However, I had a good access to the bank‘s publications. My task was
designed to understand the level of job satisfaction of the employee of the National Bank
Ltd. Jatrabari Branch. For preparing this report I used primary and secondary data. The
objectives of the report were understood level of job satisfaction of the employees of the
National Bank Ltd, Jatrabari Branch.
The study finds that every employee wants to see his or her place in good condition. But
the good condition of his or her largely depends on his or her harmonious relation with
the bank. So, it can be suggested that the bank‘s policies should be made to give equal
opportunities for all staffs. It is realized that financial security from the job really
motivates the staff to be more professional and dedicated to their service.
Chapter One
Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Academic course of study benefits us in a real sense when it has practical applications in our life. When
students engage themselves in practical fields to make proper use of their theoretical knowledge, they
come to realize the benefits of that knowledge. Such an application is possible through an internship
program. I had the opportunity to work in one of the country’s leading commercial banks named
“National Bank Ltd” and my report topic was “Employee Job Satisfaction of National Bank Ltd”.
Banking is an important segment of the financial infrastructure of any country. There are mainly two
types of banking- commercial banking and investment banking. Commercial banks raise funds by
collecting deposits from customers and by lending that deposited amount to other customers in exchange
of high interest rates. Like other commercial banks, National Bank Ltd is also operating its business in
this way and is now a leading commercial bank in Bangladesh.

This internship program provided me with the opportunity to gather practical experiences and
knowledge about several areas of banking. I got a primary idea about the existing corporate

all the employees of the Jatrabari branch and subsequently adapted myself with the working
environment of the bank. While preparing this report, I had a great opportunity to have in depth
knowledge of all the banking activities of National Bank Ltd. It has enriched my knowledge and
will help me a lot in future to build up my career in the banking sector.

1.8 Limitation of the Study:
There are some limitations of the report and therefore it may lack some crucial data. In preparing
the report, I faced some kind of problems which are as follows:
The primary constrain of the study was insufficiency of information, which was required
for the study. There are some information which the employees can’t provide due to
security and other corporate obligations.
Due to time limitation, many of the important aspects could not be discussed in the
report. Learning all the functions of a bank within just 90 days is hard enough.
Since the officers were very busy, they could not provide enough time.
I didn’t have the opportunity to visit more than one branch.

• Strengths
Strong corporate identity: According to the customers, National is the renowned provider of
financial services identity in Bangladesh. With its strong corporate image and identity, it has
better positioned itself in the minds of the customers. This image has helped National grab the
personal banking sector of Bangladesh very rapidly.
Strong employee bonding and belongingness: National employees are one of the major
assets of the company. The employees of National Bank have a strong sense of commitment
towards organization and also feel proud and a sense of belonging towards National. The
strong organizational culture of National is the main reason behind its strength.
Enthusiastic workforce: The selection and recruitment of National emphasizes on having the
skilled graduates and postgraduates who have little or no previous work experience. In
addition, this type of young and fresh workforce stimulates the whole working environment of
National.
Sophisticated automated system: Quality services through modern sophisticated automated
system.
Network of Branches: Huge network of National branch in every division and all over
Bangladesh to serve the demand of the large population.
• Weaknesses
Absence of strong marketing activities: one currently do not have any strong marketing activities
through mass media e.g. Television. TV ads play vital role in awareness building.
More innovative products must be offered: In order to be more competitive in the market,
one should come up with more new attractive and innovative products. This is one of the
weaknesses that National is currently going through.
High charges of Fund Transfer: Presently National charges similar rates for all types of fund
transfer for outside of same clearing zone. However, for more business with industry, National
should reduce the charge of Fund Transfer.
Discouraging small entrepreneurs: National provides clean service to most of its solvent
clients. They usually do not want to finance small entrepreneurs whose financial standing is
not clean to them.
• Opportunities
Acquisition: In Bangladesh, it can diversify quickly by acquiring various local established
banks and increase its total operation within Bangladesh rapidly.
Country wide network: The ultimate goal of National is to expand its operations to whole
Bangladesh. Nurturing this type of vision and mission and to act as required, will not only
increase National‘s profitability but also will secure its existence in the long run.
Experienced Managers: One of the key opportunities for National Bank is its efficient
managers. National has employed experienced managers to facilitate its operation. These
managers have already triggered the business for National.
Huge Population: Bangladesh is a developing country to satisfy the needs of the huge
population, a large amount of investment is required. On the other hand, building EPZ areas
and some Govt. policies easing foreign investment in our country made it attractive to the
foreigners to invest in our country. Therefore, National has a large opportunity here.
Weak marketing message by local and foreign banks: The basic assumption of trade
business is that customer will come to the bank and ask for service that is why local and
foreign banks are not that much enthusiastic about letting know their service features. This is
an opportunity for National to develop messages regarding their services.
• Threats
Upcoming Banks: The upcoming private, local, and multinational banks possess serious
threats to the existing banking network of National. The intensity of competition among banks
is rising. National will have to develop strategies to compete against and win this challenge.
Similar products are offered by other banks: Nowadays different foreign and private banks
are also offering similar type of products with an almost similar profit margin. Therefore, if all
competitors fight with the same weapon, the natural result is declining profit.
Industrial downward trend due to recession, inflation and unemployment: Bangladesh is
economically unstable country. Flood, draught, cyclone, and newly added terrorism have
become an identity of our country. Along with inflation, unemployment also creates industry
wide recession. These caused downward pressure on the capital demand for investment.
Fluctuating Exchange Rates: In Bangladesh, due to massive political instability and
economic downturn exchange rates are affected which can prove to be an adverse condition for
National Bank Ltd and its remittance business.
Chapter Three
Literature Review
3.1 Literature Review of Job Satisfaction
Due to the rapid changes in the global marketplace, new and changing technologies, and significant competition in
all industries, paternalistic organizations are quickly going the way of the dinosaur. Today’s employers expect their
workers to be self-directed and responsible for their own career development. A critical component in establishing a
“win-win” relationship between employers and their employees is having a mutual understanding of the importance
of job satisfaction.
3.2 Two – Factor Theory (Motivation – Hygiene Theory)
Fredrick Herzberg’s Two factor theory (also known as Motivator Hygiene Theory) attempts to explain satisfaction
and motivation in the workplace. This theory states that satisfaction and dissatisfaction are driven by different
factors motivation and hygiene factors, respectively. Motivating factors are those aspects of the job that make people
want o perform, and provide people with satisfaction. These motivating factors are considered to be intrinsic to the
job, or the work carried out. Motivating factors include aspects of the working environment such as pay, company
policies, supervisory practices, and other working conditions.
While Herzberg’s model has stimulated much research, researchers have been unable to reliably empirically prove
the model, with Hackman & Oldham suggesting that Herzberg’s original formulation of the model may have been
methodological artifact. Furthermore, the theory does not consider individual differences, conversely predicting all
employees will react in an identical manner to changes in motivating/hygiene factors. Finally, the model has been
criticized in that it does not specify how motivating/hygiene factors are to be measured.
3.3 Job satisfaction - organization’s view
Organizations hire people to perform specific tasks that help them achieve their business goals.
They want to hire the talent necessary to achieve organizational goals that are consistent with
their mission and profitability. The process of selecting employees is dependent on accurate job
descriptions, reasonable expectations and realistic, self-aware applicants. When an organization
successfully finds people who “fit” the job requirements, who enjoy and are skilled in the tasks
assigned to meet the organization’s goals, and appreciate the organization’s salary/benefit
strategy, a win-win situation is created for the employer and employee.
Historically, the focus of organizations has been to establish a generally acceptable
organizational culture. Organization-provided satisfiers (org-ps) are offered to employees in
exchange for outcomes the organization considers valuable, such as high levels of performance
and loyalty. Organizations benchmark their compensation and benefit strategies to remain
competitive in hiring and retaining talent. They also face increasing expenses in benefits such as
healthcare, retirement investments and tuition reimbursement.
Employers that understand another critical aspect of job satisfaction will gain an advantage in
recruiting, retaining and developing talent. This second aspect is referred to as job-related
satisfiers (job-rs), the satisfiers and enjoyment that an individual employee experiences from
performing the actual work or tasks of his or her job.
3.4 Job Satisfaction - employee’s view
Starting with the end in mind, reflect for a moment on what people might be looking for when
they take a job. Perhaps they are working mainly for a paycheck? Maybe their health benefits are
most important, or a good retirement plan? Some people may be interested in tuition
reimbursement, opportunities for advancement, or to learn new skills.
All of these types of critical rewards are determined by the organization based on their strategy
to be profitable and competitive in recruiting and retaining people. This is the heart of how
employees and organizations negotiate the value of the labor exchange.
Job-related satisfiers have to do with the employee’s desire to use his/her abilities to make a
contribution, to do meaningful work, and to be valued. These satisfiers are more directly related
to how much we enjoy our day-to-day tasks and our role in the organization. How we perform on
daily tasks is related to our productivity, and we expect to discuss the assignment and
performance of our work with an immediate supervisor or manager.
The annual performance review is typically the main conversation to explore productivity and
satisfaction. Since these conversations focus more on evaluation of performance, goal attainment
and salary adjustments (org-ps), they seldom get to meaningful conversations about satisfaction
with tasks or the “fit” of the current or future work itself (job-rs). Also, managers juggle multiple
demands to achieve organizational goals, so they can easily under-appreciate the powerful
influence that job-related satisfiers have on employees’ overall satisfaction. By taking the
initiative to communicate with their managers, employees can help ensure that managers are
better able to provide the necessary guidance or coaching support.
In summary, it is challenging for an organization and manager to identify and promote employee
satisfaction at an individual level. This is surprising because these job-related satisfiers are
highly motivating when met, (de-motivating when not met), and are at the heart of productivity
and performance.

3.6 Link between job satisfaction and organization’s performance
There is a direct link between employee job satisfaction and financial results. The happier the
employees are the more motivated and committed they will be to the organization’s success.
Figure 1: Link between job satisfaction and organizational performance.
3.7 Job Satisfaction Model
Employees are in a better position for achieving success and satisfying work once they
understand and can communicate how their own unique work profiles (aptitudes/abilities,
interests, personality style & values) can meet an organization’s work–related requirements and
opportunities.
A simple job satisfaction model shown below demonstrates the organizing relationship of these
different concepts.

Figure 2: The job satisfaction model
The model is divided so the concepts on the left side identify what the employer wants and what
it offers as rewards and benefits - the organization-provided satisfiers (org-ps, circles 1 and 5).
The right side of the model shows what the employee contributes to accomplish specific tasks
(circle 2) and ultimately the organization's goals (job-rs). The more self-aware an individual is
about their aptitudes, personal style, and values, the greater the potential to identify and select
jobs that fit. The more accurate the job description, the better the odds of attracting the right pool
of applicants (circle 3). When there is a clear fit between the person and the job, there is a greater
chance of successfully accomplishing goals (circle 4). This in turn leads to an increase in
personal satisfaction (circles 6 and 7). In today's complex work environment, job descriptions are
evolving as we take on special projects or are assigned to teams. This expanded complexity
increases the need to be proactive in determining fit.

5.2 Conclusion
Job satisfaction is always important in the present day business world. It cuts
very good figure in our everyday communication because job satisfaction can
help the organization motivate the working team but to determine the level of job
satisfaction is dependent on a wide range of variables. These variables are not
same at all organizations and institutions. Even patterns of organizations and
policies determine the job satisfaction of the staffs. Unlike organizations in the
developed world, in Bangladesh the study of job satisfaction has not attracted the
potential employers, notwithstanding, significant number of companies have
realized the fact that the growth and timely assurance of the investment, to a
large extent, depends on how the employer has succeeded in ensuring the job
satisfaction of the employees.
This report was based on the findings that the researcher found and gained
through her association with the National Bank Ltd. Jatrabari branch, Dhaka. It is
found in this study that job is inevitable part of the staffs. Despite differences in
their works and support, they are satisfied in their job.
