Abstract
The objectives of the study were to understand the
working environment of the lady veterinary surgeons and to
study the degree of job satisfaction and job commitment of the
lady veterinary surgeons. The data were collected from a
sample of 75 lady veterinary surgeons of Animal Husbandry
Department of Kerala using a pre-tested questionnaire.
Among all the eight selected situational factors only age
of the youngest child and possession of a vehicle for personal
conveyance showed positive and significant correlation with
working environment at 10 per cent level.
A little above half of the respondents perceived overall
working environment as either unfavourable or extremely
unfavourable. Out of the 13 dimensions of working
environment, the dimension- interpersonal relations was
perceived most favourable and was ranked first. It was
followed by motivation, team work, client relations, family
adjustment, communication, autonomy, people's participation,
guidance and supervision, leadership, decision making,
organisational policies and services and supplies.
Two-third of the lady veterinary surgeons was either
somewhat satisfied or satisfied with the job, while the rest
one - third was not satisfied.
Four dimensions of working
environment, namely, organisational policies, autonomy,
communication and people's participation contributed
significantly to the variation in job satisfaction of the lady
veterinary surgeons.
Three-fourth of the lady veterinary surgeons was either
somewhat committed or highly committed and the rest one-fourth
was less committed to the organisation. Only two dimensions
of working environment, namely, organisational policies and
motivation contributed significantly to the variation in
organisational commitment of the lady veterinary surgeons.
