Introduction

In today’s world, business houses create a tremendous and continuous positive contribution on national and international economy. It is multipurpose server by huge production, distribution, export and import. Business houses are developing and modifying day to day towards a successful and performance oriented organizations. These organizations are now a days finding out their key factors for both the existence and success in today’s corporate and fast paced business environment. It is not only for the business organizations, all service producers, educational institutions, non-government organizations even government organizations are concern today for providing better and competitive service. Some modern organizations put their steps in the field of corporate social responsibility. These include national, international or multinational companies. Even today we see several financial institutions, banks, mobile phone companies are working for the greater welfare of the ordinary people. This is now happening in our country. This is a positive change of the attitude of the management of the companies. Managements have started to care about their soul-forces, which are their human resources. We have to look before some couple of decades ago when employees were treated as like as machine. Days started to be changed by some noble pioneers who taught to treat employees as human resources not as people at work. With the passage of time organizations become employee-friendly. This is not happened universally, all over the world but generally, even in our country. With the change of thinking of managements, employee attitude also reached on a platform where employees want to provide better service. In this context this is an attempt to reach a conclusion that what employees do and realize their duties, responsibilities, work environment with their pay-package. A firm has been selected as subject where the entire job is done. This work will reveal employee satisfaction level in context with their salary, duties and work environment and ultimately employee attitude towards their management. Multifold options have been justified to enrich the work. Employees with higher salary and better environment, higher salary with typical environment, ordinary package and better environment or even ordinary package with typical work environment etc. Employee duties, responsibilities have also considered with these functions as catalyst. This work will also disclose the best policy of the management that it supposed to perform for the best of all the stakeholders of the organizations.

Importance of the study

As it is said earlier, organization is now a days performance based and employee oriented. This work will clearly expose the final statement regarding a better condition of the organizations where employees are treated as human resources and employees are also enjoy a really soothing work environment with satisfactory pay-package with future safety and security with some other beneficiary activities of the organization.

There is a high degree importance of the subject. Research says all the organization, which are treated, as successful business houses are more concentrated on the well management of its stakeholders. All the most high-ranking organizations of the world have come to the zenith due to this reason. Machine without man is nothing even liability, management is failed when it has dissatisfied employees and even management sometimes can not find out how much it could achieve more if it has a group of satisfied employees. Satisfaction is not only related with the salary even not only with the employee’s duties and responsibilities, it is highly and remarkably related with the work environment and the treatment of the management extended towards its employees.

Management can achieve its goal by utilizing all resources including human resources with a dissatisfied group of employees. This is theoretically and practically possible. But the thing is that, management cannot realize or even think that what degree success or progress they fail to achieve due to having dissatisfied employees. A satisfied employee is the real key force of the organization. In Japanese management employees feel dissatisfaction due to own realization that they might do more for the company, still though they are efficient enough. Management is also highly satisfied on them. This is an unusual picture. But for development and progress of the organization and betterment of the employees this is very much essential.

Human being is virtually created as honest. Earthly environment, its affects, competitive advantage & disadvantage sometimes make human being impatient. Human being as employees is not exceptional from this reality. Salary, inter-person relation, promotion, motivation, bossing, entire work environment affect on employees. Sometimes this is positive and of course sometimes negative. Positive affect brings satisfaction and devotion to work while negative affect brings dissatisfaction on the work. This work will help managements to take decision about management of human resources and ultimate progress of the organization with the devoted and really deserving employees.

Real Estate phenomena in Bangladesh

Dhaka City, born during the Moghul Empire and grown with the British rule, is expanding rapidly. From the beginning of the 20th Century its growth and latter development is marked with sheer lack of proper and far-reaching planning. The impact is now being felt at the end of the century. Dhaka City is undergoing terrific growth phase throughout the last two decades. While there are so many real estate developers in the market, there are also very few of them who have maintained the quality, safety and customer preference. It is customary in the country that the first day quality and impression is lost after a while when people start getting a bit of familiarity. This happens due mainly to lack of professionalism. Sometimes the consumers here are in a fix to choose a particular brand out of many.

A good number of real estate companies are working under one umbrella association named ‘Real Estate and Housing Association of Bangladesh’ (REHAB).
