Job satisfaction is one of the most widely discussed issue in organizational behaviour and Human Resource Management. In present study the researcher investigated the present level of job satisfaction among the Self Financing Engineering College Teachers: Before And During COVID 19.Job satisfaction is an elusive, even mythical, concept that has been increasingly challenged and refined particularly since the Herzberg, Mauser and Synderman study in 1959. The most important information to have regarding an employee in an institution is a validated measure of his/her level of job satisfaction (Roznowski and Hulin, 1992). A better understanding of job satisfaction and factors associated with it helps top level management in educational institutions guide employees' activities in a desired direction. The morale of employees is a deciding factor in the institution's efficiency (Chaudhary and Banerjee, 2004). The affective component encompasses the good and bad feelings about a job, such as how people feel about their supervisors, co-workers, salaries, fringe benefits, office settings and commute to work. This information can be based on facts, conjecture and rumours. And a person's predisposition to respond in a favourable or unfavourable way to things on a job is the behavioural component. This aspect of an attitude determines the course of action a person chooses.

Korman's (1970) argument that self-esteem moderates the relationships between job satisfaction and perceived need-fulfilment and between job satisfaction and the extent to which one's job meets with group approval was tested with 120 Coloured South African factory workers who were given the Porter need-fulfilment questionnaire, 2 measures of job satisfaction, and 3 measures of self-esteem, and for whom a measure of the extent to which their jobs were found desirable by others was available. The correlations between job satisfaction and need-fulfilment and between job satisfaction and group approval did not differ significantly between Ss who obtained high and low scores on each of the self-esteem measures. The negative results are explained in terms of weaknesses in the balance and dissonance models from which Korman's argument is derived.

PurposeIn line with the knowledge-based view of organizations, this paper aims to analyze how supply chain (SC) employees contribute to the creation of competitive advantage through knowledge acquisition and utilization activities. The authors consider SC employees' skills and competencies, their external network of relationships, their job satisfaction and company investments in training and test how they relate to SC-level outcomes (i.e. SC growth).Design/methodology/approachThe authors design a research model including the aforementioned variables, and the authors apply structural equation modeling (SEM) to survey data collected from 246 SC professionals in Latin America. The authors also use multi-group analysis to evaluate how the relationships between these variables change with different levels of company investment in training.FindingsThe results show that a broad professional network of relationships contributes to increasing the skills and competencies of SC professionals, which, in turn, impact job satisfaction and SC performance. This reinforces the value of investing in skilled human talent, who can contribute to knowledge acquisition, utilization, and, ultimately, to SC competitiveness. Companies that invest more in training to develop their SC employees benefit from stronger SC outcomes.Originality/valueThis study contributes to broadening the understanding of the impact of human resource management (HRM) on supply chain management (SCM). One of the added original foci of this research is the emphasis on developing countries where these HRM-to-SCM performance relationships have not been studied before.
