It included 90 agricultural professionals working in commercial banks as respondents. The study was to determine the demographic and Work Life Quality, types and nature of agricultural products available for stake holders, job satisfaction and factors affecting job satisfaction and the constraints faced by the respondents. Twelve independent variables selected through judge’s ratings and two dependent variables namely Work Life Quality and job satisfaction were the variables of the study. On analysis of data it was found that majority (35.56%) of agricultural professionals were young (<35 years) and 54.44 per cent of respondents had postgraduation degree. Over 47 per cent earn a net monthly income that range from Rs 20,000 to Rs 40,000. Distribution of male and female was in 50:50 ratio and majority of bank employees were having a minimum of five years of experience in rural (63.33%), semi-urban (64.44%) and urban (64.44%). More than half the respondent population were married (77.78%) and 41.11 per cent of respondents were having one dependent. When 51.11 per cent respondents dwelling place is less than 10 km from place of work, 14.44 per cent of the respondents had to travel more than 30 km to work place. The results revealed that 43.33 % agricultural professionals live in semi urban area and 42.22 % live in their own houses. Also large majority (65.55%) of agri professionals in banks work for 10- 11 hours daily and 56.66 % of respondents feel they were over loaded with too much work. Agri gold loan was the most demanded agricultural product used by farmers from fifty and over products available, as perceived by the bank officials. The results of Work Life Quality states that all the six dimensions were contributors to the Work Life Quality in banks as their mean score is above the standard mean value (12.5). However, social integration (18.76) is the major contributor. The correlation study revealed that out of the twelve independent variables four variables were significantly correlated to Work Life Quality of which three variables age, monthly income and experience were positively correlated at 1% level of significance and marital status is negatively correlated at 1% level of significance with Work Life Quality. On analysing data out of twelve independent variables three variables viz., age, monthly income, experience were significantly and positively correlated at 1% level of significance, marital status and working hours were negatively correlated at 5% level of significance with job satisfaction. The result of attitude revealed that majority (75.56) of agricultural professionals in banks fall under medium to high category of attitude towards their job and was correlated positively and significantly with both Work Life Quality and job satisfaction at 1% level of significance. Out of the fifteen constraints identified as perceived by agricultural professionals of bank the major constraint was the repayment issues in the bank that have become a burden directly upon the officers responsibility and accountability. The main suggestion as perceived by agricultural professionals was that farmers must be encouraged to repay loans timely and be educated about banking systems and schemes. To conclude, it is quintessential to design policies at macro level in order to enhance job satisfaction and Work Life Quality of agricultural professionals that in turn supports and enables farmers to use the services provided by banks in best possible way. | |
