The aim of the present study was to evaluate the level of job satisfaction of Class III and Class IV workers in healthcare institution in Maharashtra. METHODSThe study was conducted among 100 employees of which, 52 were Class III and 48 were Class IV workers. A questionnaire containing 17 items was used (UWES-17). UWES is a test to measure work engagement both on an individual and on group level. UWES utilizes three scales to determine the level of work engagement: vigour, dedication, and absorption. All these items were in 7-point Likert scale with a score range from zero (never) to six (always). Higher scores in all cases indicated greater job satisfaction. Data was analysed using independent t-test and one-way ANOVA. RESULTSThe result showed that satisfaction value is slightly more in Class IV workers (35.04) with a statistically significant (0.011) value. CONCLUSIONSFindings of this study show that modification in the workplace will aid in increasing the involvement of employees that will further increase productivity level in organizations and job satisfaction among workers.
