EXECUTIVE SUMMERY
The study is based on behavioral skill training and job satisfaction in Nalco, Bhubaneswar. The
objectives of the study are: to study the relationship between behavioral training and job
satisfaction, to study the different behavioral training programs conducted at Nalco. Behavioral
training is an approach to guide anyone to change behavior, attitude and opinion. Training
always bridges the gap between “As-Is” and the “to-be” components for specific organization
group and individuals. In this backdrop there is a basic necessity to understand the above said
objectives. The scope of the study is limited to Nalco HRD Excellence Center functioning in
Bhubaneswar.
The study validates the relationship between behavioral skill training and job satisfaction through
the structured questionnaire that was aimed at determining the demographic variables and
statements related to behavioral skill training and job satisfaction. A standardized scale
developed by Rensis Likert (1987) was used in the study. The exploratory design has been
adopted in this study with the sample size of 65 respondents from Nalco in Bhubaneswar. The
Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients of the overall variables are between 0.780 to 0.860. The
purposive sampling method was used to select the respondents and statistical tool such as
regression analysis. It is observed from the study that supervisory skill found to be the best
predictors of job satisfaction in Nalco.
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION:
Training and development play an important role in the effectiveness of
organizations and to the experiences of people in work. Training has implications
for productivity, health and safety at work and personal development. All
organizations employing people need to train and develop their staff. Most
organizations are cognizant of this requirement and invest effort and other
resources in training and development. Such investment can take the form of
employing specialist training and development staff and paying salaries to staff
undergoing training and development. Investment in training and development
entails obtaining and maintaining space and equipment. It also means that
operational personnel, employed in the organization’s main business functions,
such as production, maintenance, sales, marketing and management support, must
also direct their attention and effort from time to time towards supporting training
development and delivery. This means they are required to give less attention to
activities that are obviously more productive in terms of the organization’s main
business. However, investment in training and development is generally regarded
as good management practice to maintain appropriate expertise now and in the
future.
Contributing to training has long been one of the main concerns of occupational
psychology – this is not surprising given that training involves learning and that
learning is a central issue in psychology. Training is one of the core skills of
occupational psychology. People with qualifications in and experience of
occupational psychology have been employed in different capacities in training
and development roles in government organizations, private companies and
consultancy groups.
The discipline offers many benefits and perspectives to help resolve training
issues and problems and has also been at the root of many methods and techniques
that have now become part of the routine practices within human resource
management. Training specialists must be alert to the wider issues regarding the
problems presented to them and need the skills and confidence to deal with them.
They must understand how training fits into the wider organizational context. An
occupational psychology perspective is extremely beneficial in helping the
practitioner to understand how training relates to other interventions aimed at
improving job performance.
Governments can also affect the impetus for change in organizations through
legislation, taxation, and the general health of the economy, which in turn can
create more disposable income to create new demands for products and services,
affect the supply of raw materials and services, or put such pressure on consumers
that markets are adversely affected. Also, government initiatives can affect health
and safety requirements, fiscal issues, competition laws, and ecological concerns,
working with new technology and employment practices. Such changes prompt
new ways of organizing and delivering these products and services, creating new
training needs.
The other major source of employment and funding in training and development,
where occupational psychology plays a specialist role, is private companies.
Specialists might be employed directly within an organization’s training and
development functions or in consultancy offering services to clients. Organizations
often employ their own specialist training and development staffs who have been
recruited from the organization’s own ranks. Organizations often prefer this
approach because they feel it is more appropriate for their training staff to have
operational and business experience than for them to be experts in training or
occupational psychology. It is often assumed that training is simply a matter of
following well-established procedures and principles. This is an ill informed view
because often training cannot always proceed simply by application of standard
methods. It is often necessary to understand variations that have not been
responsive to the standard procedures. This entails understanding how people learn
and how training can support this learning.
Training and development staff are generally responsible for maintaining company
training and development systems, to judge training needs and to organize the
delivery of training and development. Practitioners with an occupational
psychology background may be encountered in departments concerned with
organizational development where they are engaged with the processes of
organizational change of which training and development is a part. It is impossible
to be more specific than this. Opportunities for occupational psychology specialists
to become engaged in training arise in different contexts and circumstances. It is
important to remain alert to where these opportunities might occur and be adaptive
and constructive in responding to opportunities.
Research into training generally requires substantial funding and opportunity for
access to real situations. Without funding or access, it is difficult for applied
psychologists to contribute effectively to this area or for their findings to be
accepted as credible. In university research it is possible to set up and run basic
laboratory or small scale studies in human learning and social interaction with
minimal resources as a basis for publication and for theory development, but these
do not match the complexity that needs to be addressed to resolve practical training
issues in a rigorous way. Some comparatively inexpensive laboratory studies in
areas of training and instruction have been important in clarifying issues and
demonstrating the potential benefits of applying different principles to training. But
laboratory studies are limited in this field because research findings may be
confined to the laboratory context and not deal effectively with practical issues
when the complexities of the real situation are encountered.
This means that there is no wholly reliable body of research to enable training
decisions to be made with complete confidence. This may sound like a weakness,
but it is a reflection of the fact that new operational contexts can change the
applicability of research findings that were obtained in a different operational
context. It also makes for more interesting work, because problems generally have
to be investigated, solved and then outcomes tested, rather than simply following a
simple recipe.
To this end, this learning material will set out the basic ideas involved in the
psychology of training and development, so that it becomes clearer how work in
this area can be conducted. It will introduce the main concepts and themes, with a
view to providing a framework for your later work. In particular, it will present
these ideas in the context of organizations, showing how they can be applied and
how they might be constrained. The material will not aim to provide a
comprehensive account of all aspects of the occupational psychology of training
and development. Such issues will be left for you to investigate as future
requirements present themselves in your professional career. What we will focus
on, however, is providing you with an overview of the main issues in the
management and development of training for which knowledge of occupational
psychology can contribute towards helping solve practical problems of training in
an effective way.

Bauxite deposite
On Panchapatmali hills of Koraput district in odisha, a fully mechanized opencast
mines is in operation since November, 1985, serving freestock to Alumina
Refinery at Damanjodi located on the foothills. Present capacity of Mines is 68.25
lakh TPA. All the statutory clearance for the Rs. 5540 crore project has been
obtained for brownfield expansion of 1 milion ton refinery.
Utkal D&E coal blocks
NALCO has been allotted D&E coal blocks, in Angul district Odisha, where the
company’s Aluminium smelter and captive power plant are located. With this,
NALCO’s captive resources have added 200 milion tones of coal.
NALCO ventures into the new field of backward integration, which will have a
substantial impact on input cost of coal. This project is scheduled to be completed
on January 2020.
Angul Aluminium Park
NALCO has formed this JV company with IDCO to promote downstream
industries in odisha. The company has commited to supply 50,000 MT of molten
Aluminiumf for a period of 20 years to the JV company.
.
Captive power plant
Presently the captive Thermal power plant has a generation capacity of 1200 MW
(10×120MW).While the captive thermal power plant provides entire electric power
requirement of aluminium shelter, it also feeds for approximately 35MW of the
power requirement to the alumina refinery through the state grid.
The location of the captive thermal power plant at angul is also strategic to the
availability and supply of coal from nearby Talcher coalfield.
Port facilities
On the Northern arm of the inner harbor of Visakhapatnam port on the bay of
Bengal, NALCO has established mechanized storage and ship handling facilities
for exporting Alumina in bulk and importing caustic soda.
The company also uses the port of paradeep and Kolkata for export of aluminium.

female employees in the organisation stands at 354.
Expansions:
Mobile Apps
NALCO has developed four mobile apps:
Time Management
An often-underrated attribute of employees, time management doesn’t refer to an
employee’s ability to make a deadline, but the organization and execution of their
work to complete a task on time. While this is more of the skill of the worker, you
can help develop your people’s time management skills during their performances.
Removing distractions such as cell phones and social media is one way to ensure
employees stay on schedule, but in cases such as work at home or without a
traditional office space, you will have to focus on promoting good practices
through more subtle means. For example, staggering your assignments into
multiple milestones or goals can help guide your workers as well as push them to
see the proper pace to complete the project. Separating work into these segments
convinces your workers to see your assignment as more immediate.
Giving Behavioural Skills training related to time management skills, such as
focusing on the most difficult task first thing in the workday, in means such as
announcements, emails, and notes to the employees will help them.
Behavioural skills training programs are highly effective in the workplace, the
component of learning can be incorporated if the employees develop a habit of
learning, relearning and unlearning. Bringing a positive change in terms of attitude,
values and norms is very significant in today’s hyper-competitive world.

ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS:
Table 1.1 Model Summary
• Table 1.1 shows that the R- square (.589) is the proportion of variation in the dependent
variable (job satisfaction) that is explained by 8 independent statements of behavioral
skill training, namely training opportunities, interpersonal skill, encouraged & rewarded,
leadership skill, implement new methods, supervisory skill, satisfied with training, build
team. R-value citing the simple co-relation was found to be .767. The above table shows
that 58.9% of variation observed in job satisfaction was explained by 8 independent
statements in the model.

• The ANOVA Table 1.2 shows whether the proportion of variance explained is
significant. It also states whether the overall effect of the behavioral training skill on the
job satisfaction is significant. The Sig (or p-value) is 0.007, which is below the 0.10 level.
Hence, it is concluded that the overall model is statistically significant or that the
behavioral training skill have a significant combined effect on the job satisfaction
TABLE 1.3 COEFFICIENT
Table 1.3 indicates that the coefficient of supervisory skill shows a strong relationship with job
satisfaction. The supervisory skill (Beta = .363, p-value = .079), is below 0.10. From the Beta
value, it is quite clear that supervisory skill is found to be the best predictor of job satisfaction in
Nalco.
CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION:
The Sig (or p-value) is 0.007, which is below the 0.10 level. Hence, it
concluded that the overall model is statistically significant or that the
behavioral training skill have a significant combined effect on the job
satisfaction
The supervisory skill (Beta = .363, p-value = .079), is below 0.10. From the
Beta value, it is quite clear that supervisory skill is found to be the best
predictor of job satisfaction in Nalco.
