AB  - The compulsions of liberalization, globalization and competitiveness 
  have reset the mode for relations between workers and management. Presence of 
  multiple Trade Unions, workers belonging to different generations with diverse 
  mindset and impact of variations in economic climate have further complicated 
  the scenario. Reputed manufacturing companies in India have witnessed and witnessing 
  turbulent incidents in the recent times like Maruthi Motors. Individual’s 
  performance in an organization depends on personal effectiveness in the role 
  which is influenced by role satisfaction. Role satisfaction depended upon the 
  opportunities existing for satisfying the needs which vary significantly by 
  culture and by individual. Managements are struggling to keep their work force 
  motivated and perform to the best of their abilities in assigned roles. The 
  present study aims to explore the extent to which workers needs are satisfied 
  through their roles to suggest areas for improvement. Data collection is made 
  from blue collar workmen of select manufacturing organizations by administering 
  a standard questionnaire. This study reveals the fact that much more can be 
  done by organizations for fulfillment of workers needs. Workers in this new 
  scenario need to be re-defined and their role properly assessed based on renewed 
  aspirations and expectations.
