Abstract: The primary objective of this study is to ascertain the levels of job satisfaction experienced amongst employees at five Ferro-alloy industries in Orissa, India. For the purpose of this study, a quantitative (non-probabilistic) sampling design was used to assess the information on job satisfaction parameters. The sample group (N = 240) consisted of male and female staff members working on a rotational shift roster in five Ferro-alloy industries. A biographical questionnaire and the Job Descriptive Index (JDI) questionnaire were administered to gather the required information. This study measures job satisfaction in terms of five important job facets, namely, pay, promotions, supervision, co-workers and the work itself. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data to find out the important determinants of job satisfaction among shift workers.
