...study has been attempted to understand and explain the job satisfaction, which influenced by utilitarian reasons (e.g., to increase productivity and organizational commitment, lower absenteeism and turnover, and ultimately increase organizational effectiveness) as well as humanitarian interests (i.e., the notion that employees deserve to be treated with respect and have their psychological and physical well-being maximized). The satisfied workers also tend to engage in Organizational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) i.e., altruistic behaviours that exceed the formal requirements of a job. Dissatisfied workers show an increased propensity for counterproductive behaviours, including withdrawal, burnout, and workplace aggression.

...dominates Bangladesh's financial sector. Bangladesh Bank is the Central Bank of Bangladesh and the chief regulatory authority in the sector. There are a total of 51 banks in Bangladesh, and this banking system is composed of four state-owned commercial banks, five specialized development banks, thirty eight private commercial Banks and nine foreign commercial banks. Hence we can easily say that the private commercial banks (PCBs) comprise for the largest portion of the banking sector. The banking sector has attracted a lot of fresh graduates for a very long time because of their work environment and other facilities that they provide. Moreover, the work environment and culture of the private commercial banks are such that the employees are motivated to work and prove themselves to their employers. One such approach made by PCBs was to offer a higher post to the young, newly hired graduates as they believed that this would help to increase employee satisfaction. This strategy has by many means been successful as well as a little unsuccessful for the banks. The overall study shows that simply hiring employees in higher posts cannot increase their overall job satisfaction; rather, a lot of other factors also need to be considered in order to ensure the satisfaction of the employees. 2.0 OBJECTIVE The main objective of this paper is to show how much effective the attempt was made by the owners of the PCBs to increase employee satisfaction by recruiting the fresh graduates...

...Motivation in Bangladesh Public Sector Introduction: Motivation is an individual characteristics or trait that make people accomplish a work in a higher degree of intensity and persistence toward a specific direction. Motivation in Organization is an important factor whether it is intrinsic or extrinsic (Deci, 2000). The word motivation has got its root from the word ‘motivate’ which means to move, push or influence someone to forward with fulfilment of a want (Kamalian, 2010). According to Bartol and Martin (1998) motivation is a power that strengthens behavior, paves route to behavior, and triggers the tendency to continue (Fard, 2010). As we know there are several theories and notion regarding motivation where some people argues that it is a completely intrinsic trait of the individual. Again some describe it as the empowerment from environment and the other group belief that different people need different types of motivational factors (Robbins, 2014). Among various motivational theories the following two case studies of Bangladesh interact with Maslow’s hierarchy need theory and Herzberg’s two factors theory of needs. Maslow’s Hierarchy Theory: Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of need theory is the best-known theory of motivation. Every human being has a hierarchy of five needs where right after the fulfilment of a need or demand, the next need becomes most influential, he argued. These are Physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, self-actualization...
