105 THE STUDY OF THE WORK CULTURE OF ITS EMPLOYEES :

Though the ULIPs Plan is completely different from the Traditional Insurance so there is a lot of difference between the  WORK CULTURE of Aviva's ULIPs as the work culture of the organization differs as and when the condition of their work changes.

Basically Work culture is a combination of qualities in an organization and its employees that arise from what is generally regarded as appropriate ways to think and act.

It is important because :

Culture is the vehicle through which individuals coordinate their activities to achieve common goals and expectations

Culture helps individuals understand how their roles fit within the larger picture

Culture defines the norms of acceptable conduct

Culture develops consistent interpretations of behaviors throughout the organization

The well-managed culture can improve performance significantly while the unmanaged culture will impede even the best-intentioned change effort

The "work culture" of an organization is a product of its history, traditions, values, and vision.It is"a pattern of basic group assumptions that has worked well enough to be considered valid, and, therefore, is taught to new members as the correct way to perceive, think and feel."

Desirable work culture includes shared institutional values, priorities, rewards and other practices which foster inclusion, high performance, and commitment, while still allowing diversity in thought and action.

To know the employees view about the work culture of the organization a set of questionnaires has been formed which would help us to know about some basic concepts of Human Resource  Management. :

These are the set of questionnaires with the help of which we would know

the amount of stress the employees are taking

the level of satisfaction that the employees get from different factors like wages, salaries. Compensations, working hours etc.

the level of their satisfaction with their work

the relationship with their peers and superiors

their views about the recreational facilities

the job profile of the organization

106 Stress:

Stress is the body's reaction to a change that requires a physical, mental or emotional adjustment or response. Stress can come from any situation or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, nervous, or anxious. Stress is caused by an existing stress-causing factor or "stressor." Stress in a work environment is mainly caused because of the high pressure of the job.

Through this survey we can know exactly whether the employees are stressed out with the work or they enjoy the work environment.

Through the survey that we are going to do we will be analyzing the stress level that the employees are having.

107 JOB SATISFACTION:

The term Job Satisfaction means whether the employees are happy and satisfied with the work environment or not. The people are more happy  and they retain themselves  in the organization when they are satisfied  with their job , the more satisfied they are said to be. Through the survey I have come to a conclusion of the percentage of the employees who are satisfied with their job in AVIVA Jayanagar branch. It also shows how necessary is job satisfaction for retaining the employees in the organization.

108 PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL:

Performance appraisal is the tool to know about the employee's performance in the accounting year. In this the superiors grade their juniors and tell them where to improve, and if they are performing extraordinary then they recommend them for promotions.usually in performance appraisal there are two guides who grade an individual,

Through the survey we will exactly know whether a fair appraisal is being given to the employees in AVIVA Life Insurance, JAYANAGAR branch.

109 ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF THE SURVEY

TIME CONSTRAINT:

As the project is only for a period of three months i.e. till may so, I can't get all the information beyond that period.
