INTRODUCTION
An organisation is nothing without human resource. It is said that people can be the
biggest asset to the organisation. And no doubt, a well satisfied employee with the well
provided welfare measures will be the most valuable asset a company can have.

Labor welfare aims at providing such service facilities and amenities which
enable the workers employed in industrial factories to perform their work in healthy and
original surroundings, conducive to good health and high morale. Labor welfare measures
include such service facilities and amenities as adequate canteen facilities, rest and
recreational facilities.

The objectives of welfare activities are partly humanistic to enable the worker
to enjoy a fuller and richer life. Labor welfare is a vital part of business organisation and
management. It increases the productivity as well as productive efficiency of the employees
and develops in them a new spirit of self realization and consciousness. It is a desirable state
of existence involving physical, mental, moral and emotional wellbeing. All this four
elements together constitute the structure of welfare on which its totality is based.

In this modern business scenario welfare activities are very important for any
firm to keep their employees productive. So this study was done to measure the satisfaction
level of employees with reference to welfare measures provided in the organization. And
organisation selected for the study is KORAMBAYIL Hospital.

1.2 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study includes various factors that comes under employee
welfare and employee satisfaction. Employee welfare follows all extra mural and intra mural welfare
activities as statutory and non statutory welfare measures under taken by employer , government
and trade unions ,etc… however scope of the study is to identify the satisfaction level of the
employees, and also to find whether any dissatisfaction arising among employees with regard to
welfare measures.

1
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE SYUDY

Primary objectives:

1. To know the satisfaction of employee in relation to labor welfare


2. Identify those welfare facilities provided by the organisation like canteen, rest room,
recreational facilities and its effect on employee satisfaction.
3. To understand the efficiency of welfare measures existing in the organisation.

Secondary objective:

1. To understand whether the employees are satisfied with the existing facilities provided
by the organisation
2. To understand the employee employer relationship whether healthy or not.
3. To understand the inter personal relationship between the management and the
employees in the organisation.

1.4RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research methodology is the description, explanation and justification of


various methods of conducting research. This area deals with the research design, sources of
data collection, sampling design, hypothesis, and statistical tools used for the data analysis
and interpretation.

Research design

A researcher should think about the way in which he should proceed in


attaining his objective in his research work. He has to make a plan of action before starting
the research. This plan of study of a researcher is called the research design. Descriptive
research design is used for this study. Descriptive research design is used to those studies
which are concerned with characteristics of a particular individual or a group

2
Sources of data collection

Both primary and secondary data have been used for the study.

Primary data

Primary data are those which are collected for the first time which is original in
character. They are collected directly and are reliable. The primary data was collected
through a well structured questionnaire.

Secondary data

Secondary data is those which have already been collected by someone else.
Secondary data has been collected from company records, text books, websites etc.

Population of the study

Population means aggregates of all units possessing certain specified


characteristics on which the sample seeks to draw inferences. The population consists of all
the employees currently working at KORAMBAYIL Hospital,Manjer

Sample design

A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given


population. It refers to the technique or the procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting
items for sample.

Sample size: from the total 205 employees in the organisation. The sample size is 54.it

calculate as follows by using the statistical formula.

n = Z2×P×Q×Ne2×N-1+Z2×P×Q

Where: - n = minimum sample size required

3
N =Sample frame

P% = the proportion of respondents belonging to the


specific category

Q% = the proportion of respondents not belonging to the


specific category

Z = the value corresponding to the level of confidence


required

E = Error value

Employee Total work force Number of samples

A 87 23

B 55 14

C 21 6

D 26 7

E 16 4

SAMPLING METHOD

Stratified sampling is used is used for sampling. Under this sampling


design the entire population is divided into strata. A stratum means groups or categories.
Here the entire population is divided or sub divided in to group on the basis of homogeneity.
Within each stratum through lottery method each samples are selected.

Pilot study

4
An initial study is conducted in the organization in order to understand the
situations in the organization and to check whether the problem taken for the study is really exist in
the organization.

Hypothesis

Hypothesis is considered as the most important instrument in research. A


hypothesis is an assumption or some assumption to be proved or disapproved.

Hypothesis can also be divided as (1) Null Hypothesis or (2) Alternative Hypothesis.

Null Hypothesis: is a statement that no difference exists between a population parameter and
a sample statistic

Alternative Hypothesis: When the null hypothesis is rejected, then, we are accepting the
alternative hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis is the logical opposite of the null
hypothesis.

In this study

Null hypothesis : employee satisfaction is independent on welfare measures.

Alternative hypothesis : employee satisfaction is dependent on


welfare measures.

Statistical tool used

Chi-square test is used for the study. Chi-square test is one of the important
tests developed to test hypothesis. It is a non parametric test. It is frequently used for testing
hypothesis concerning the difference between a set of observed frequencies of a sample and
corresponding set of expected or theoretical frequencies.

X2 = ∑ (O– E) 2 / E

Where O = observed frequencies,

5
E = expected frequencies,

Degree of freedom (v) = n-k

n = number of frequency classes

k = number of independent constraints.

For a contingency table with ‘r’ number of rows and ‘c’ number of columns the degree of
freedom is , V= (r-1) (c-1)

The following steps are required to determine the value of the chi-square test.

1. Calculate the expected frequencies

2. Take the difference between observed and expected frequencies.

3. Obtain the square of the difference.

4. Divide (O- E) 2 with the expected frequency.

5. Obtain ∑ (O– E) 2 / E

The calculated value of x2 is compared with the table value of x2 for a given
degree of freedom at a certain specified level of significance. If the calculated value is more
than table value, null hypothesis is rejected and accept the alternative hypothesis. If the
calculated value is less than table value, null hypothesis is accepted and alternative
hypothesis is rejected.

The important applications of chi-square test are given below.

• To test the variance of a normal population.

• To test the goodness of fit.

• To test the independence of attributes.

6
1.5 LIMITATIONS

• Because of the busy schedule, workers were not able to fill up and return the
questionnaire properly.
• Analysis of data collected from questionnaire is assumed to be accurate as far as the
researcher is concerned, but cannot be guaranteed free from bias.
• Problems in sample design and collection of data may also influence the result of the
report
• The employee’s responses are subjective in nature.
• The reliability of the study depends on the information provided by the respondents.

2.1INDUSTRY PROFILE

7
Healthcare is an important sector so as to attain a healthy productive
population. Now major initiatives are undertaking in the health sector by the government to
increase public spending on health and to translate the objective of providing effective,
affordable, and accessible healthcare facilities to the people. The healthcare sector in India
has been growing at an enormous pace. During 2002, India's health care industry contributed
5 per cent to the GDP and employed approximately 4 million people. By 2012, this industry
is projected to contribute 8.5 per cent of GDP.

A hospital is an institution for health care providing treatment by specialized


staff and equipment, and often but not always providing for longer-term patient stays.

Today, hospitals are usually funded by the state, health organizations (for profit or non-
profit), health insurances or charities, including direct charitable donations. In history,
however, they were often founded and funded by religious orders or charitable individuals
and leaders. Similarly, modern-day hospitals are largely staffed by professional physicians,
surgeons and nurses, whereas in history, this work was usually done by the founding
religious orders or by volunteers.

TYPES

Some patients in a hospital come just for diagnosis and/or therapy and then
leave ('outpatients'); while others are 'admitted' and stay overnight or for several weeks or
months ('inpatients'). Hospitals are usually distinguished from other types of medical
facilities by their ability to admit and care for inpatients

General

The best-known type of hospital is the general hospital, which is set up to deal
with many kinds of disease and injury, and typically has an emergency ward to deal with
immediate threats to health and the capacity to dispatch emergency medical services. A
general hospital is typically the major health care facility in its region, with large numbers of
beds for intensive care and long-term care; and specialized facilities for surgery, plastic
surgery, childbirth, bioassay laboratories, and so forth. Larger cities may have many different
hospitals of varying sizes and facilities.

Specialized

8
Types of specialized hospitals include trauma centers, rehabilitation
hospitals, children's hospitals, seniors' (geriatric) hospitals, and hospitals for dealing with
specific medical needs such as psychiatric problems, certain disease categories, and so forth.

A hospital may be a single building or a campus. (Many hospitals with pre-


20th-century origins began as one building and evolved into campuses.) Some hospitals are
affiliated with universities for medical research and the training of medical personnel.
Worldwide, most hospitals are run on a non-profit basis by governments or charities. Within
the United States, most hospitals are not-for-profit.

Teaching

A teaching hospital (or university hospital) combines assistance to patients with teaching to
medical students and is often linked to a medical school.

Clinics

A medical facility smaller than a hospital is generally called a clinic, and is often run by a
government agency for health services or a private partnership of physicians (in nations
where private practice is allowed). Clinics generally provide only outpatient services.

INVESTMENTS

The opportunities presented by the healthcare sector have made it a major draw for potential
investors. The healthcare sector attracted US$ 379 million in 2006 - 6.3 per cent of the total
private equity (PE) investment of US$ 5.93 billion. The PE deals that the sector attracted in
2006 were as large as inputs into the automotive sector.

• Medical care services provider Apollo Hospitals group will invest about US$
235.69 million in the next 18 months to set up 15 hospitals in tier-II and tier-III
cities in India.
• The Indian government plans to invest US$ 177.22 million across the golden
quadrilateral (GQ) project, to develop nearly 140 trauma care centres on the 6,500
km long north-south and east-west corridors.

9
• Competitor Fortis Healthcare Ltd will add 28 hospitals to its 12-hospital chain by
2012.
• George Soros's fund Quantum and BlueRidge bought 10 per cent in Fortis
Healthcare.
• Manipal Health Systems raised over US$ 20 million equity from IDFC Private
Equity Fund.
• Bangalore-based HealthCare Global Enterprises raised over US$ 10 million in
equity from IDFC.
• Metropolis Health Services, a diagnostic chain, raised over US$ 8 million in equity
from ICICI Venture.
• Investment firms Apax Partners, IFC and Trinity Capital have invested over US$
200 million in hospital firms.

HEALTH CARE

Health care facilities and personnel increased substantially between the


early 1950s and early 1980s, but because of fast population growth, the number of licensed
medical practitioners per 10,000 individuals had fallen by the late 1980s to three per 10,000
from the 1981 level of four per 10,000. In 1991 there were approximately ten hospital beds
per 10,000 individuals.

Primary health centers are the cornerstone of the rural health care system.
By 1991, India had about 22,400 primary health centers, 11,200 hospitals, and 27,400
dispensaries. These facilities are part of a tiered health care system that funnels more difficult
cases into urban hospitals while attempting to provide routine medical care to the vast
majority in the countryside. Primary health centers and sub centers rely on trained
paramedics to meet most of their needs.

The main problems affecting the success of primary health centers are
the predominance of clinical and curative concerns over the intended emphasis on preventive
work and the reluctance of staff to work in rural areas. In addition, the integration of health
services with family planning programs often causes the local population to perceive the
primary health centers as hostile to their traditional preference for large families. Therefore,

10
primary health centers often play an adversarial role in local efforts to implement national
health policies.

According to data provided in 1989 by the Ministry of Health and


Family Welfare, the total number of civilian hospitals for all states and union territories
combined was 10,157. In 1991 there was a total of 811,000 hospital and health care facilities
beds. The geographical distribution of hospitals varied according to local socioeconomic
conditions. In India's most populous state, Uttar Pradesh, with a 1991 population of more
than 139 million, there were 735 hospitals as of 1990. In Kerala, with a 1991 population of
29 million occupying an area only one-seventh the size of Uttar Pradesh, there were 2,053
hospitals. In light of the central government's goal of health care for all by 2000, the uneven
distribution of hospitals needs to be reexamined. Private studies of India's total number of
hospitals in the early 1990s were more conservative than official Indian data, estimating that
in 1992 there were 7,300 hospitals. Of this total, nearly 4,000 were owned and managed by
central, state, or local governments.

Another 2,000, owned and managed by charitable trusts, received partial


support from the government, and the remaining 1,300 hospitals, many of which were
relatively small facilities, were owned and managed by the private sector. The use of state-of-
the-art medical equipment, often imported from Western countries, was primarily limited to
urban centers in the early 1990s. A network of regional cancer diagnostic and treatment
facilities was being established in the early 1990s in major hospitals that were part of
government medical colleges. By 1992 twenty-two such centers were in operation. Most of
the 1,300 private hospitals lacked sophisticated medical facilities, although in 1992
approximately 12 percent possessed state-of-the-art equipment for diagnosis and treatment of
all major diseases, including cancer. The fast pace of development of the private medical
sector and the burgeoning middle class in the 1990s have led to the emergence of the new
concept in India of establishing hospitals and health care facilities on a for-profit basis.

By the late 1980s, there were approximately 128 medical colleges--


roughly three times more than in 1950. These medical colleges in 1987 accepted a combined
annual class of 14,166 students. Data for 1987 show that there were 320,000 registered
medical practitioners and 219,300 registered nurses. Various studies have shown that in both
urban and rural areas people preferred to pay and seek the more sophisticated services
provided by private physicians rather than use free treatment at public health centers.

11
HEALTH CARE IN INDIA

Indigenous or traditional medical practitioners continue to practice


throughout the country. The two main forms of traditional medicine practiced are the
ayurvedic (meaning science of life) system, which deals with causes, symptoms, diagnoses,
and treatment based on all aspects of well-being (mental, physical, and spiritual), and the
unani (so-called Galenic medicine) herbal medical practice. A vaidya is a practitioner of the
ayurvedic tradition, and a hakim (Arabic for a Muslim physician) is a practitioner of the
unani tradition. These professions are frequently hereditary. A variety of institutions offer
training in indigenous medical practice. Only in the late 1970s did official health policy refer
to any form of integration between Western-oriented medical personnel and indigenous
medical practitioners. In the early 1990s, there were ninety-eight ayurvedic colleges and
seventeen unani colleges operating in both the governmental and nongovernmental sectors.

. India has achieved impressive demographic transition owing to the decline of crude birth

rate, crude death rate, total fertility rate and infant mortality rate.
• The rural primary public health Infrastructure has recorded an impressive development
during the last 50 years of independence. The network consists of 1,45,000 sub-centers,
23,109 primary health centers and 3222 community health centers, catering to a
population of 5000, 30,000 and 1,00,000 respectively (and 3000, 20,000 and 80,000
population in tribal and desert areas).
• The government is committed to rise public spending on health from the current 0.9
percent to 2-3 percent of GDP over the next five years with focus on primary healthcare.
In line with this objective, the plan allocation for 2005-2006 was US$ 630.35 million. A
further step is visualized in the allocation budgeted for 2006-2007 at US$ 721.38 million.
• There are about 200 recognized medical colleges spread throughout the country and
approximately 20,000 medical graduates pass out each year. In India, 136 medical
schools admit more than 6,000 postgraduate trainees in their programs. Involvement of
postgraduate physicians in health education is also proving to be quite beneficial.
• In the last five years, the number of patients visiting India for medical treatment has risen
from 10,000 to about 120,000. With an annual growth rate of 30 percent, India is already
inching closer to Singapore, an established medical care hub that attracts 150,000 medical
tourists a year. Hospitals in India can conduct the latest medical procedures at very low

12
costs. An estimated 100,000 "Medical Tourists" visited India last year, representing a 20
per cent jump over the previous year. More and more

• people have started traveling to India for Medical Treatment and Medical Tourism is
finally coming of age.
• The Department (AYUSH) was established as Department of Indian Systems of
Medicines and Homoeopathy (ISM & H) in Ministry of Health & Family Welfare in
March 1995 and was renamed as Department of AYUSH in Novembers 2003. The term
AYUSH covers Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy. These
systems were originated in India but have gained wide acceptance in other parts of the
world.

MEDICAL TOURISM

Medical Tourism in India is a budding concept whereby people from all over
the world can visit the country for their medicinal and relaxation requirements. The reason
for India being a favorable destination is because of its excellent health infrastructure and
technology. Most common treatments are heart surgery, organ transplants, eye surgery, knee
transplant, cosmetic surgery and dental care.

India is also catching up as a popular medical tourism destination for its low-cost
but world-class medical treatment. For example, according to a news in Financial times (in
April) Madras Medical Mission, a Chennai- based hospital, successfully conducted a
complex heart operation on an 87-year-old American patient at a reported cost of $8,000
(€7,000, £4,850) including the cost of his airfare and a month's stay in hospital. The patient
claimed that a less complex operation in America had earlier cost him $40,000.

The Indian healthcare market according to industry sources is reporting to be growing at over
30% annually. A recent McKinsey study on healthcare says medical tourism alone can
contribute Rs. 5,000 - Rs. 10,000 crore (Rs. 50-100 billion) additional revenue for up market
tertiary hospitals by 2012, and will account for 3-5% of the total healthcare delivery market.

The Ministry of Tourism has taken several initiatives, in partnership with the private sector,
to promote India as a destination for medical tourism to foreign tourists and make it a global
health destination. The Ministry is also considering setting up of a National Accreditation

13
Board for Hospitals.Measures for rationalizing the flow of tourist traffic have already been
taken. Government has decided that there should be a fast track clearance for the medical
patients at the airport.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

There are a number of autonomous institutions under the Ministry of Health


and Family Welfare, which conduct research in various specific areas. Main institutions
involved are:

• Indian Council Of Medical Research (ICMR)


• Indian Medical Association (IMA)
• Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI)

The Path Ahead

The future stance for the sector outlined as

• The industry is expected to grow at 15% p.a. to $60 billion by 2010.


• Medical tourism is expected to become a $2 billion industry by 2010.
• Significant growth in healthcare BPO: Expected to become a $4.5 billion industry
by 2008.

The tenth five-year plan focuses on the following:

• Fully operationalize the structural and functional health sector reforms.


• Improve efficiency of the existing health care system - in government, private and
voluntary sectors.
• Improve quality of care at all levels.
• Develop efficient logistics of supplies of drugs and diagnostics and promote
rational use of drugs.
• Explore alternative systems of health care financing so that essential health care is
available at affordable costs.

3.1 LITERATURE RIVIEW

INTRODUCTION

Industrial progress of a country depends upon its committed labor


force. In this regards the importance of labor welfare was recognized as early as 1931, when
the Royal Commission on Labor stated that the benefits which go under this nomenclature
are of great importance to the worker who is unable to secure by himself. Thus the term
welfare suggests many ideas, meanings and connotations, such as the state of well being,
health, happiness, prosperity and the development of human being. The employee welfare
activities may be regarded as the wise investment which should and usually does bring
profitable return in the form of greater efficiency.

CONCEPT OF LABOR WELFARE

The concept of labor welfare is flexible and elastic and differs widely with time, region,
industry, social values and customs, degree of industrialization, and the political ideologies
prevailing at a particular time. It also varied according to age group, sex, socio cultural back
ground, marital, economic and educational level of workers. There for the concept can not be
defined very precisely. Although effort have been made by the experts, each in his own way.
Some of them are given below.

“Any thing done for the intellectual, physical, moral, and economic betterment of the
workers, whether by employer, by government or by other agencies, over and above what is
laid down by law or what is normally expected of the contractual benefits for which workers
may have bargained”

According to the committee on labor welfare, welfare service means that:

“Such services facilities and amenities as adequate canteen, rest room, recreational
facilities, sanitary and medical facilities, arrangements for travel to and from place of work,
and for the accommodation of workers employed at distance from their homes; such other
services, amenities and facilities, including social security measures, as contribute to the
conditions under which workers are employed”

22
According to the Encyclopedia of Social Science labor welfare means that:

“The voluntary efforts of the employers to establish, within the existing industrial
system, working and some times, living and cultural conditions of the employees beyond
what is required by law, the custom of the country and the conditions of the market.”

FEATURES OF LABOUR WELFARE

The given definitions indicate that labour welfare has been used in a
‘wide’ as well as ‘narrow’ sense. in the broader sense; it includes not only the minimum
standard of hygiene and safety laid down in general labour legislation, but also such aspects
of working life as social insurance schemes, measures for the women and young workers,
limitations of hours of work, paid leaves, etc. In the narrow sense, in addition to general

Chi- Square Test
For testing, the employees satisfaction and welfare measures, chi square test is most
suitable. Here chi square test is conducted in order to identify is there any relationship
between the employees satisfaction and the welfare measures offered by the Bharath hospital.

Chi square test – Test of independence

Chi-square ( χ2 ) is done by using the formula: ∑ (O– E) 2 / E

Where, O = Observed frequency

E = Expected frequency

Hypothesis of the study

H0 = Employees satisfaction is independent of welfare measures offered by the


KORAMBAYIL Hospital.

H1 = Employees satisfaction is dependent of welfare measures


offered by the

Level of significance = 5 %

Calculated value of chi square = 10.01

Comparing calculated value (10.01) with the table values with degree of
freedom as 4 at 5% level of significance, it is found that the calculated value is
higher than table value, which means the calculated value falls in the critical
region. So the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is
accepted. “That means, employee satisfaction is dependent on welfare
measures.
