Introduction
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry captures a unique position in the Bangladesh
economy. Ready-made garments are mass-produced finished textile products of the clothing
industry. The industry plays a key role in employment generation and in the provision/
distribution of income to the poor.
Employee satisfaction is a measure of how happy workers are with their job and working
environment. Epping moral high among workers can be of great benefit to any company, as
happy workers will be more likely to produce more ,take fewer days off ,and stay loyal to the
company .There are many factors in improving or maintaining high employee satisfaction ,which
wise employers would do well to implement .
To measure employee satisfaction ,many companies will have mandatory surveys or face-to –
face meetings with employees to gain information .Both of these tactics have pros and cons ,and
should be chosen carefully .surveys are often and anonymous ,allowing workers more freedom to
be honest without fear of impact Interviews with company management can fill intimidating but
if done correctly can let the worker know that there voice has been heard and their concerns
addressed by those in charge .surveys and meetings can truly get to the center of the data
surrounding employee satisfaction ,and can be great tools identify specific problems leading to
lowered morale.
Before liberation in 1970 in Bangladesh there was only one garment factory but now there are
4740 garment factory in Bangladesh. The number of workers in garments sectors is increased
day by day. In 1985-86 the total workers were 0.20 million. In 2007-08 the number of garments
workers in Bangladesh is 2.50 million 2011 around 4.5 million.
Job satisfaction means an attitude that reflects the extent to which an individual is gratified by or
fulfilled in his or her work. It’s indicated that personal factors such as an individual needs and
objective, determine this attitude along with group and organization factors, such as relationships
with coworkers and supervisor and working conditions work politics and compensation.

Ready-Made Garments is the largest exporting industry in Bangladesh, which experienced
phenomenal growth during the last 20 years. But Bangladeshi garments industry labour cost is
very poor than other country. The wages paid to RMG workers in Bangladesh are the lowest
even by the South Asian regional standard. Graph illustrates the comparative average hourly
wages in apparel industry of selected developed and developing countries.

What are the levels of employees’ satisfactions Ready Made Garments (RMG) sectors in Bangladesh?
The sector has created jobs for about 4.5 million people of which 80 percent are women who
mostly come from rural areas. This industry of Bangladesh has been the key export division and
a main source of foreign exchange for the last 25 years. National labor laws do not apply in the
EPZs, leaving BEPZA in full control over work conditions, wages and benefits. Garment
factories in Bangladesh provide employment to 40 percent of industrial workers. But without the
proper laws the worker are demanding their various wants and as a result conflict is began with
the industry. Low working salary is another vital fact which makes the labor conflict. Worker
made strike, layout to capture their demand. Some time bonus and the overtime salary are the
important cause of crisis. Insufficient government policy about this sector is a great problem in
Garments Company.

Literature Review
Mohammad Salim Zahargier, Nimalathasan Balasundaram (2010) mentioned in their paper that
two main sources of economic growth of Bangladesh have been manufacturing and servicing,
both crucially dependent on the RMG sector. Thus any impact on RMG sector, will adversely
affect economic performance of the country and another paper already say Factors affecting
Employees’ Performance in Ready Made Garments (RMG) Sector in Chittagong, Bangladesh.
Several researchers were given emphasized on forecast or estimate export demand function.
Some other with mentioning is Ahmad et al (1993) and Razzaque (2004). Recently, Abdus
Salam Murshedy (2010-05-06) in his paper addresses to the task of assessing ready made
garment industry has emerged as the highest employment creating manufacturing sector of the
country,. And they found during GFC the performance of RMG and Remittance sectors are quite
satisfactory. M M Shahnewaz Kabir Shawon research Deeper look into RMG Sector of

Yoon and Suh (2003) showed that satisfied employees are more likely to work harder and
provide better services via organizational citizenship behaviors. Employees who are satisfied
with their jobs tend to be more involved in their employing organizations, and more dedicated to
delivering services with a high level of quality. Yoon and Suh Previous research has also
suggested that loyal employees are more ready to and more capable of delivering a higher level
of service quality (Loveman 1998, Silvestro and Cross 2000). Researchers have argued that
service quality is influenced by job satisfaction of employees (e.g., Bowen and Schneider 1985,
Hartline and Ferrell 1996).
The argument that employee satisfaction improves worker confidence quality is grounded on the
theory of equity in social exchanges (Gouldner 1960, Homans 1961, Blau 1964, Organ 1977). In
the context of social exchange theory, when an employer offers favorable working conditions
that make its service employees satisfied.

Research Methodology
Methodology is the most important component in any study since it explains the procedure and
methods through which a particular study was carried out. This paper includes Data /
Information Collection, Study Population, Study Area, data collection, Sample Size, Allocation
of sample and calculation etc.
Data
Data are the raw materials for any study. Relevant data for the study were collected from both
secondary and primary sources. Secondary data were collected from BGMEA, National
Encyclopedia of Bangladesh (NEB), Wikipedia, Labor and management in development
journal volume 2, number 7 ETC.
Two types of primary data were collected in the study-quantitative and qualitative.
1. Quantitative data were gathered from survey and observation of worker active RMG
factories.
2. Qualitative data were collected from interview and projective techniques.

Limitations of the study
During the time of preparing this report I have been faced many problem. These are follows:
The period fixed for preparing the report was hard to meet. As a result, sufficient
concentration could not be given which was needed for much better study.
To prepare this report I have faced a lot of problems such as Maintain confidentiality,
Unavailability of related books or document. Cost limitation. Limitation time etc.
However, we are the student of mid level of B.B.A, so we have shortage of knowledge to make
this report. But we try our best to make the report properly.
Data Collection
Study Population: As the 2011 there are about 4.5 million worker work RMG sector. Out of
them about 80% women and 20% man employees work this sector. But all garments employees
are not satisfied around most of the worker are satisfaction level low. The active worker in
readymade garments sector employees’ satisfaction level represent the main study population of
our study.
Study Area: The RMG factories constituting study population are mostly located around Dhaka
and Chittagong. In Dhaka Region, the districts of Dhaka, Narayanganj and Gazipur are the
concentration of RMG firms. The following graph prepared according to the address provided in
the Directory of RMG sector total employees, and what percent man or woman.

Sample Size: This study focuses on Dhaka area from high-contact garments industries in
Bangladesh. We identified five area in Bangladesh (e.g., Dhaka, Narayanganj, Gazipur,
Chittagong, Others/Subtotal Dhaka) and randomly selected some major garments from Dhaka
area.
According to the term of References the survey should cover at list 8 garments and like total
0.25% worker active worker RMG sector in Dhaka in operate. There are 1, 20,000 worker work
Dhaka RMG sector. Hence the sample size is 120,000 * 0.25% = 300.
As this research will be conducted by survey through interviews; it will not be possible to take a
large sample because of limited time, money & man power. So the sample size will be not more
than 300 RMG workers.

To contact the whole population would be time consuming: Our group visit garments factory and
wish to determine garments employees satisfaction level. A sample researcher using the regular
employees and field interviews of professional researcher just focus one or two days finish work
clearly and deeply. By using the same staff interviews and working Seven days a week it would
taken nearly spend many days to contact all the voting population.
The physical impossible of checking all items in the population: The population of garments
employees satisfaction like salary, bonus, security, working hours, Appointment paper,
Additional services, health care facility, working environment, technological support or other
this situation we make estimated using various technique such as focus all garments employees
level, facilities, or other services but this limitation time, garments permeation, employees
proper understand and guideline to clearly finish survey paper. And main effect all employees
are not interested to faces any interview because some worker not clearly understands what I am
saying and why I am use interview.
Allocation of sample and calculations: The samples for the survey were selected using three
stages stratified sampling scheme (proportional allocation). In the first stage the sample was
selected representation according to the gender decimation RMG in Dhaka. Because Dhaka is
Bangladesh hart of the city. This area many garments situation or this area garments worker most
of all know this satisfaction level, life style, or other facility. At the time other area employees
work garments sector but this people don’t clearly know how to involve mordant area and what
are the satisfaction levels, facility or face any effects. Our country some time read any newspaper
or TV this time show garments worker violent, company force sexual harassment and properly
don’t provide any facility this time only Dhaka area employees are involve many kind of
violence, block road and some time create many unpredictable work. But other area likes
Chittagong garments area employees are not involve any violence’s.
Survey was conducted over Eight (8) RMG factory and average load was calculated over eight
factories and almost eight factory in total average 25% worker meet and told many question..
However the worker satisfaction level, worker list of RMG sector calculated and all calculation
were done in accordance with area. Also calculated Worker Salary like bonus, payment, gender
decimation. Security like working hours, Appointment paper. Additional services like
transportation, house facility, health care services. Working environment like working place,
technological support, sufficient light fan ventilators etc.
Load of different items as above, were calculated from field survey data, study averaged 300
workers in work garments factory in Dhaka area.

In this RMG employee’s satisfaction, Salary and Security is highly quantitative, while working
environment and additional services have a strong qualitative orientation. Salary or security this
thing should help employer satisfaction, but not in working environment or additional services.
Health care services and working place should be helpful in environment or additional services
but not in Salary and Security.

Analysis:
Frequency distributions were obtained to check for data entry errors and to obtain descriptive
statistics. Data were then factor analyzed using principal components analysis with varimax
rotation. Factor analysis is a data reduction technique that allows grouping of variables under a
common theme or dimension (see figure 1). A rotated structure of some factors was expected
based on the four hypotheses. The four factors are Salary, Security, Working environment,
Addition services.
The final rotated solution with 20 items was retained. Four factors resulted from the final rotated
solution; each was easy to interpret and explained percent of the cumulative variation.
The four factors were Salary, Security, working environment and additional services. Each factor
was assessed for reliability using Cranach’s . The reliability coefficients ( = 0.709) of these
four factors, along with the measures of credibility, exceeded the value of 0.5 recommended. To
assess the validity of the measures, the multiple items measuring each construct were further
factor analyzed. In each case, the items always loaded on one factor only, lending support to
their convergent validity. Thus, from the four hypotheses, we have tested all factors.

Results
This study suggests that several variables have major implications for employees satisfaction
level RMG sector in Bangladesh. The final regression model had an overall 294,5F value of 8.504
(P<0.001) with a 2R of 0.286 and adjusted
2R of 0.252. Considering that no prior scales and
measures were available for this particular research, the results explaining 32.8 percent of the
total variation in the dependent variable was very encouraging.
Three of the factors – Salary, Addition services and working environment were found to be
significant at the 1 percent significance level ( ). A four factor, security, was found to be
significant with the probability of making a type I error .366 of the time.
2R =0.286, 294,5F =8.504, P<0.001
What are the levels of employees’ satisfactions Ready Made Garments (RMG) sectors in Bangladesh?
Coefficients (a) summarize the regression results of the final model. The standardized beta ( )
values indicate that the factor “Salary” had the greatest impact on employees satisfaction.
Apparently, the level of objectivity of employees satisfaction, maintained by the Bangladeshi
garments factory, is a major factor that leaves much to be done in attenuating perceived level of
employees satisfaction level RMG sector in Bangladesh.

adequate attention to maintain a standard regarding salary. Salary satisfaction is a combination of
employees’ fact; preciseness and depth of employees’ satisfaction improve. From the data we see
48% of the respondents do not think that the employees’ satisfaction level facts are highly
accurate. Only 22.3% of the respondents believe that the garments employee details are
absolutely accurate. In Bangladesh, some of the garments often distort the facts mainly due to
unskilled reporting, lack of reliable sources etc. Employees’ satisfaction be more careful
presenting the facts. In case of information from the employees, only 18.3% believe that the
information is absolutely precise while 31.3% of the respondents think the information is not
precise or accurate. The depth of the RMG sector is a big issue in objectivity: 55.3% of the
garments worker believes there is much to develop in the employees’ satisfaction. In case of
working skill, the respondents were positive though 39% of the respondents believe there is
much to do in developing the satisfaction level. So improving garments employees satisfaction

Conclusion:
Employees’ satisfaction is the most power full part of increase productivity in any sector. It has
been seen that problems in labor satisfaction in Bangladesh ready-made garment sector Revolve
around a number of key issues that trace back to the essence employees’ satisfaction level or
other. Most Bangladeshi garment manufacturers have failed to see any causal connection between
labour satisfaction and productivity outcomes. As a consequence of their economic priorities,
many of them have become virulently anti-trade union, believing that trade unions would upset
Bangladesh’s low-wage employment structure, which is vital for maintaining. Workers’ limited
purchasing power and poor command over commodities define and shape their access to housing,
health and sanitation and transportation facilities. Lack of job security is compounded by low
wages, which in turn cause insecurity of life for women in urban areas. Still, garments employees
continue to work, and the reasons for this are open in the narratives. Most of the garments
workers are not properly satisfied but this people know just bear family financial and reduce
family problem but our survey and focus garments employees satisfaction level than see
garments employees don’t know labour law and other facility. This situation employees working
condition are very poor quality. Bangladesh garments factory don’t proper use any kind of
employees satisfaction or not properly mention working environment or other facility.
