higher authorities, flexibility to work, etc. (Saatchi, 2008). Among these factors, age, designation of employees,
education, remuneration, type of work, recognition at work place, support from supervisors and coworkers, the
work load; are found to have major impact on satisfaction level of bank employees. (Stacy & W.M, 1998) (Bas

LITERATURE REVIEW
It is universally observed and accepted through plenty of research concluding that job satisfaction level of
employees is having a great impact on their productivity and creativity (Mahardhika, Nastir, & Respati, 2021)
which leads to better results and growth for the organization and the prolonged tenure of an employee with the
firm compared with the less satisfied employee’s work input and behavior towards the organization (Locke, E.A.,
Latham, & G.P., 2000) (Baş & Ardıç, 2002). Numerous researchers conducted the studies to analyze the impact
of different demographic line and organizational factors on employees’ job satisfaction. Job satisfaction results
based on two different types of approaches: situational and dispositional. Situational approach states that the job
satisfaction is solely affected by the characteristics of the job and the environmental factors while dispositional
approach considers the personal characteristics of employees (Hackman, J.R., & Oldham, 1975) (Herzberg,
Mausner, & Snyderman, 2011). Thus, it becomes very problematic to conclude that which factor will trigger the
job satisfaction of employees, intrinsic factors or extrinsic factors. Intrinsic factors are the factors which lead to
boost motivation level when they are present like job itself, attitude of employee, responsibilities, etc. while
extrinsic factors are the factors which will not increase motivation when they are present but their absence will
definitely lead to increased level of dissatisfaction (Lumen, n.d.) such factors include organization policies, level
of monitoring, working environment like work pressure and extended workload, monetary rewards i.e., salary,
relations with peers and superiors, nature of work, etc. (S, M, & Shoaib, 2014)
Perceived Organization Support, Psychological Empowerment and Rewards are having significant positive
impact on the satisfaction level of the employees. Communication and relation are important for satisfaction.
Support from coworker and supervisors is playing a
vital role on job satisfaction. Management should pay attention to reduce the communication gap and to improve
the relation to boost the productivity (Agobzo, Owusu, Hoedoafia, & Atakroch, 2017). Low Salary and extended
working hours are main reasons for the job dissatisfaction among the employees. Consumer loyalty, their
behavior, and perception towards the compensation are influencing the level of satisfaction individually
(Bhardwaj, Mishra, Jain, & T.K., 2021). Thus, Job satisfaction is shaped by number of factors like pay scale,
supervisor support, nature of work, rewards and promotion opportunities, support from supervisors as well as
co-workers, freedom to express their views before management etc. (Bhardwaj, Mishra, Jain, & T.K., 2021).
These factors are included in this research to study job satisfaction among the employees of India Post Payment
Bank with special reference to Gujarat State.
While comparing public and private sector banks in Indian context, the result based on previous research
conducted shows that public sector employees experienced higher level of job satisfaction than private sector
employees (Prachi, Sajid, & S.M., 2017). Furthermore, it results in the lack of studies analyzing the impact of
work environment on job satisfaction among the employees of Indian Postal Department particularly in IPPB
context in post Covid-19 time. Thus, banks like IPPB are not able to continue relying on the existing policies
and banking practices they made for employees; and the facilities being provided to the employees will lead to
expected level of job satisfaction among them or not, and if any change in policies or its implementation is
required or not without any primarily conducted research study. Overall, the objectives of the study aim to
identify the relationship between various work environmental factors like Job Satisfaction, Psychological
Satisfaction, Salary, Incentives, Rewards, Supervisor Support, Coworkers’ support, and the employee
satisfaction level with their work place and to provide a clear understanding of the factors that impact employee
satisfaction with working environment and to provide practical recommendations for organizations to improve
employee satisfaction.
