To Examine The Adequacy Of Welfare Facilities Available To Employees And Its Impact On Job Satisfaction And Organisational Commitment

This study examines the adequacy of welfare facilities provided by organizations to employees and evaluates their perceived adequacy and effect on job satisfaction and organisational commitment. Welfare facilities include statutory and non-statutory services: medical aid, safety, canteen/rest rooms, recreation, housing/transport support, social security, and other employee benefits. A structured questionnaire was administered to a sample of 80 employees drawn from manufacturing and service organizations. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, frequency distribution, and Pearson correlation. Findings show that while statutory welfare facilities (medical, safety, provident fund etc.) are largely available and rated as satisfactory by most employees, non-statutory amenities (recreation, transport, housing support, family welfare) are perceived as inadequate by a significant proportion. A significant positive correlation (r ≈ 0.57, p < 0.01) between perceived welfare adequacy and job satisfaction was observed. The study concludes that organizations need to strengthen non-statutory welfare provisions to improve employee morale, satisfaction, retention, and organisational commitment.
