ABSTRACT
The study titled A study on the employee perception at M/s AppasamyOcular Devices (P)
Ltd., Vadamangalam, Puducherry was done over a period of one month from August 2007 to
September, 2007. Perception is a process by which individuals organize and interpret their
sensory impressions in order to give meaning to their environment. However, what one perceives
can be substantially different from objective reality. This study was done to understand the
employee perception with regard to various organizational aspects of M/s Appasamy Ocular
Devices (P) Ltd. Primary data was obtained through questionnaire and interview. A sample size
of 50 was chosen using simple random sampling. Appropriate statistical tools were employed to
analyze the data viz., Chi-square test, correlation, regression and percentage analysis. From thisstudy it was found that the employees had a positive favourable perception in the aspects of
working conditions, absence of gender bias, clear reporting structure and their value as an
employee in the organization. However the employees had a negative perception in the aspects of
salary structure and appreciation of individual initiative

Implementing an employee perception survey can be used to gauge the current levels of
satisfaction and identify opportunities for improvement as perceived by the employees in M/s
Appasamy Ocular Devices (P) Ltd.
Employees who arent satisfied with their jobs are very likely to leave. If they dont leave
they can become a source of bad morale and do a great deal of harm to the organization. In many
cases employers without proper data will assume the wrong reasons for employee dissatisfaction.
Many bosses will automatically think that money is the top reason for leaving a job. Surveying
employees on a regular basis is important to stay in touch with the pulse of the business and to
have real data and react accordingly. The actions of the employees like absenteeism and turnover
are based on how they perceive things.
The main objective of this study was to study the level of employees perception about the
various factors like working conditions, management, interpersonal relationships, pay and
organizational culture. Employee opinion surveys deliver a successful means of measuring and
acting upon, employees' current beliefs on many job-related subjects. Through this the managers
could understand what the employees feel about the organization .Necessary remedial measures
could be adopted by the organization in the negative areas. Through this the company would
achieve better results in terms of profit and quality.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
2.1 Introduction to Employee Perception
Savvy companies know that they need to stay in tune with the satisfaction rate of their
employees. Managers understand that finding and training new employees is a very expensive
process. Surveying employees on a regular basis is a great way to stay in touch with the pulse of
the business. Hence it is very much essential to know what the employees perceive about the
organization.

2.2 Meaning
When an individual looks at a target and attempts to interpret what he or she sees that
interpretation is heavily influenced by the personal characteristics of the individual perceiver.
Personal characteristics that affect perception include a persons attitudes, personality, motives,
interests, past experience and expectations.
Characteristics of the target being observed can affect what is perceived. The context in
which we see objects or events is also important. Perception is a process by which individuals
organize and interpret their sensory impressions in order to give meaning to their

Attribution theory:
This theory has been proposed to develop explanations of the ways in which we judge
people differently, depending on what meaning we attribute to a given behavior.
Determinants:
1.Distinctiveness: shows different behaviors in different situations.
2. Consensus: response is the same as others to same situation.
3. Consistency: responds in the same way over time.
Frequently used shortcuts in judging others
1. Halo effect
2. Contrast effects
3. Selective perception
4. Projection
5. Stereotyping
Specific Applications of Shortcuts in Organization
Employment Interview
Perceptual biases affect the accuracy of interviewers judgments of applicants.
Performance Expectations
Self-fulfilling prophecy (Pygmalion effect): The lower or higher performance of
employees reflects preconceived leader expectations about employee capabilities.
Performance Evaluations
Appraisals are subjective perceptions of performance.

Employee Effort
Assessment of individual effort is a subjective judgment subject to perceptual
distortion and bias.
Employee Loyalty

2.2 REVIEW OF LITERATUREFROM JOURNALS AND ARTICLES
The Reality of Perception in Employee Relations
8/8/2019 A Study on the Employee Perception
19/66
19
Charles R. McConnell
The author has found from his research that, whenever there is a contradiction between
what employees are told or led to expect and what they actually see occurring, the result is
usually a negative perception. In the employee-manager relationship, a greater presence of
negative perceptions lowers the credibility of the management and increases the difficulty in
securing employee cooperation and commitment. The task of minimizing employees' negative
perceptions falls largely on the first-line supervisor, although the door is always open higher
managers can make this more difficult.
Employees' perception towards the dimension of culture in enhancing organizational
learning
Author(s): Carroll M. Graham, Fredrick Muyia Nafukho
Journal: The Learning Organization
The purpose of this study was to determine employees' perception of the dimension of
culture toward organizational learning readiness. The study also seeks to compare employees'
work experience (longevity), work shifts and their perception towards the dimension of culture in
enhancing organizational learning readiness. ANOVA was used to investigate the relationship
between longevity, work shift, and perception towards the dimension of culture in enhancing
organizational learning.
The independent variables longevity and work shift were statistically significant, while
the interaction effect was nonsignificant. Omega-squared test statistic revealed longevity and
work shift each accounted for 9 percent and 7 percent, respectively, of the variance in the
dependent variable employee perception toward the dimension of culture in enhancing
organizational learning. Moderate effect sizes for independent variables longevity and work shift
were also established.
Compensation or Right: An Analysis of Employee Fringe Benefit Perception
Barton L. Weathington and Lois E. Tetrick
8/8/2019 A Study on the Employee Perception
20/66

The authors have found that employee perceptions of the benefits provided to them by
their organization can influence employee attitudes. Three factors that appear to influence the
perception of benefits by employees are benefit satisfaction, benefit importance, and the
perceived motive of the organization in providing the benefit to employees. However, it was
inferred that some benefits are perceived as rights that are owed to employees by the
organization. The study proposed and tested a model of benefit perception that incorporates all of
these factors. Results suggested that benefit satisfaction and the perceived motive of the
organization in providing a benefit both have a direct relationship with employee attitudes. The
perceived right status of a benefit appeared to moderate this relationship.
Exploring Employee Perception of Organizational Image: An Integrative Perspective of
Internal and External Communication
Choi, J.
This paper proposed to provide a conceptual model about how internal and external
communications influence employees perception of organizational images, in turn influencing
employees organizational identification and behaviors. In particular, it was argued that when
there is discrepancy between perceived external images and internally perceived images that are
held by employees, it can result in significant consequences in terms of employees behaviors.
Furthermore, it was discussed how perceptions about organizational images were related to
internal and external communication and the need for an integrative perspective of
communication management in the organization.
Employees Organizational Commitment and Their Perception of Supervisors Relations-
Oriented and Task-Oriented Leadership Behaviors
8/8/2019 A Study on the Employee Perception
21/66
21
Barbara B. Brown
The author says that relations-oriented leadership behaviors explained more of the
variance in affective commitment than the variance in normative commitment. The variance that
task oriented leadership behaviors explained in the two types of organizational commitment wasthe same, only weaker. Neither relations-oriented nor task-oriented leadership behaviors
explained any variance in continuance commitment.
The relations-oriented leadership behaviors were positively related with affective and
Normative commitment, although not very strongly. This means that leadership behaviors which
involve engendering trust, inspiring a shared vision, generating enthusiasm, encouraging
creativity, providing coaching, and recognizing accomplishments do explain some of the
variation in how employees feel about wanting to or feeling obligated to stay with the city of
Charlottesville.
The more they display these behaviors, the more employees may want to or feel obliged
to stay. Task-oriented leadership behaviors had a negative relationship with normative
commitment and explained even less of the variance than relations-oriented leadership behaviors.
This means that leadership behaviors which involve ignoring problems or waiting for problems to
become chronic before taking action explain very little of the variation in how employees feelabout wanting to or feeling obligated to stay with the city of Charlottesville. Supervisors may be
able to improve their task-oriented leadership behaviors by giving negative feedback in a timely
manner and using language that is both clarifying and encouraging.
Social Interaction and the Perception of Job Characteristics in an Organization
James W. Dean, Jr. Daniel J. Brass
This research investigates the relationship
between the extent of employees' socialinteraction and their perceptions of job characteristics. Employees'perceptions were compared
with the perceptionsof task characteristics made by an outsideobserver, whose perceptions were
not subject to the same social influence processes. The results indicated that the perceptions of
employees who were more central to communication networks, boundary-spanning employees,
and employees close to the organization'sboundaries were more similar to the perceptionsof the

outside observer. These results were interpreted as supportfor the hypothesis that increased social
interaction leads to a convergence of perceptions, such that the perceptions are more similar to
observable reality. The hypotheses and results are discussed in terms of social information-
processingmodels and previous laboratory findings.
A Study of Supervisor and Employee Perceptions of Work Attitudes in Information Age
Manufacturing Industries
Md. Shafiqul Azam, Pro-Tech Search, Inc.
Illinois State University
Supervisors perceive and rate Information employee work attitudes differently than the
Information employees perceive and rate their work attitudes by themselves. Non-information
employees perceive their work attitudes differently than their supervisors do. Information and
Non-information employees do not perceive their work attitudes similarly. Information
employees had higher means for Dependability and Ambition and Non-information employees
had higher means for Teamwork and Self-Control.
There were differences in the strength of disagreement of responses across the groups. The
strongest disagreement between employees (both Information and Non-information) and
supervisors on the perceptions of employee (both Information and Non-information) work
attitudes was obtained for the work attitudes dimension Dependability. The second disagreement
between employees (both Information and Non-information) and supervisors on the perceptions
of employee (both Information and Non-information) work attitudes was obtained for the work
attitudes dimension Ambition. The third disagreement between employees (both information and
non-information) and supervisors on the perceptions of employee (both Information and Non-
information) work attitudes was obtained for the work attitudes dimension Teamwork.
Comparative Analysis of Management and Employee Job Satisfaction and Policy

Charles G. Andrews, B. A., M. S.
According to the author, there is no statistically significant differences between the
perception of nonmanagement employee job satisfaction and management job satisfaction as
measured by job satisfaction topic means. It could be concluded from this study that group meansof importance for job satisfaction topics shows no significantly relationship by management or
management status. Nonmanagement rated Employee Development Opportunities and Work-life
Balance higher than management employees.
However, none of the differences were statistically significant. Rust, Stewart, Miller, and
Pielack (1996) examined job satisfaction of frontline workers. Topics addressed included work
design, work conditions, benefits, and supervision. They found that a persons overall satisfaction
is driven by their satisfaction with the organizations managerial process.

The population can be finite or infinite. The population is said to be finite if the elements
can be counted and infinite if the population size cannot be calculated.
4.5 SAMPLING PLAN
A sampling plan is a definite design for obtaining a sample from the sampling frame. It
refers to the technique or the procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting some sampling
units from which inferences about the population is drawn. Sampling design is determined before
any data are collected.
Simple random sampling technique was adopted. In this method the researcher selects those
units of the population in the sample, which appear convenient to him or to the management of
the organization where he is conducting the research.
4.6 SAMPLE SIZE
50 samples were taken from M/s Appasamy Ocular Devices (P) Ltd , Vadamangalam,
Puducherry .
4.7 FIELD WORK
The field works was done at Appasamy Intraocular Devices Pvt, Ltd., Vadamangalam
Puducherry.
4.8 PERIOD OF SURVEY
The period is from August, 2007 to September, 2007.
4.9 DESCRIPTION OF STATISTICAL TOOLS USED
Percentage analysis.
Chi-square test
Correlation
Regression
4.9.1 PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS
8/8/2019 A Study on the Employee Perception
27/66
27
In this project Percentage analysis test was used. The percentage method is used to knowthe accurate percentages of the data we took.. The following formula was used
No. of respondents favorablePercentage of respondent = x 100
Total no of respondents
From the above formula, we can get percentages of the data given by the respondents.
4.9.2 CHI-SQUARE ANALYSIS
In this project chi-square test was used. This is an analysis of technique which analyzed
the stated data in the project. It analyses the assumed data and calculated data in the study. The
Chi-square test is an important test amongst the several tests of significance.. Chi-square,symbolically written as x2 (Pronounce as Ki-Square), is a statistical measure used in the context
of sampling analysis for comparing a variance to a theoretical variance.
The formula for computing chi-square is as follows.
O = Observed frequency
E = Expected frequency
The calculated value of chi-square is compared with the table of chi-square for the given
degrees of freedom at the specified level of significance. If the calculated value is greater than the
tabulated value then the difference between the observed frequency and the expected frequency
are significant. The degrees of freedom is (n-2) where n is number of observed frequencies and
in case of contingency table the degrees of freedom is (C-1) (R-1) where C is number of
columns and R is number of rows.
It is used to find the relation between communication in work place and work satisfaction.It is used to find the relation between welfare satisfaction and work satisfaction it is used to find
the relation between experience of respondents and work satisfaction.
4.9.3 CORRELATION
Chi-square = {(O-E)2 / E}
8/8/2019 A Study on the Employee Perception
28/66
r =
28
The correlation analysis deals with association between two or more variables. The
correlation does not necessary imply causation or functional relationship though the existence of
causation always implies correlation. By itself it establishes only co- variance. It is used to find
the degree of relationship between motivation and work satisfaction.
Cov(x, y)
x X y
Here,r = co-efficient of correlation
4.9.4 Regression
The Regression analysis deals with the nature of association between two or more
variables. In regression analysis we are concerned with the estimation of one variable for a given
value of another variable on the basis of an average mathematical relationship between the two
variables.
Y= a + bX
Cov(x, y) = 1/n x y x y
x = 1/n x2 x 2

CHAPTER VI
6.1 FINDINGS OF THE STUDY
From the study, it was found that the employees had a clear understanding about whom
they should report to about their targets in their daily course of work. They also felt that
their direct supervisor listened to their ideas and concern.
Some of the employees felt that the workload was reasonable and the deadlines set to
achieve targets were reasonable.
From the study it was found that the employees were satisfied with the working
conditions. Being employed in a manufacturing company employees felt that they were
able to carry out their work without much strain.
Gender did not play a role in the way employees perceived their value in the organization.
Their perception about being valued as an employee was based on their individual
character and not on their gender.
Majority of the employees felt that they were underpaid. They felt that they were paid less
when compared to the responsibility they take.
Some employees felt that there was no balance between their work and personal lives.
By analyzing the data it was found that there was a strong positive correlation between
individual responsibility and effective group performance. It was also observed that the
level of job satisfaction correlated with the challenging nature of the job.

6.2 SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Majority of the employees were not satisfied with their present salary .The company can
take this into account while revising the pay for the employees. The company could try to provide
some monetary benefits to the best performer.
Employees felt that their new ideas related to work were not encouraged. The company
could encourage the employees to give their ideas related to work. This way both the company
and the employees are benefited. The company could get some novel ideas and the employees
would be more participative.
The employees felt that the company did not respond to their grievances immediately. Hence the
company can adopted some grievance handling procedure that is best suited for the company.
Some employees felt that there was no balance between their work and personal lives. The
company could look into this aspect and train the employees on better time management.

CHAPTER VII
7. CONCLUSION
From this study it was found that employees at Appasamy Ocular Devices (P) Ltd.,
Vadamangalam Puducherry had a positive perception on many areas of the organizational
functioning such as working conditions of the employees, reporting structure, work process,
deadlines set and gender equality. However there were areas about which the employees had a
negative perception like salary benefits, scope for individual initiative and balance between work
and personal life.

8.2 SCOPE FOR FURTHER STUDY
The study would act as a reference for further in depth research on employee perception.
The results of this survey can be submitted to the company .The management can look into the
negative aspects in the perception of employees and initiate remedial measures to address the
same. Improving the employee perception would go a long way in promoting the quality of
production.
Further focused research on the identified negative areas such as salary package can help
the management formulate better and employee friendly pay structures.
