Insights into Employee Satisfaction in Public Transportation
This new volume delves into a critical yet underexplored aspect of public transportation—employee satisfaction. Focusing on the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC), the book explores:
- Psychological and Motivational Factors: How mental well-being and incentives impact employee performance.
- Family and Social Influences: The effect of external pressures and support on work-life balance.
- Job Conditions and Welfare: Insights into the operational environment and social security provisions for employees.
The study also investigates how demographic factors such as age, education, income, and job experience influence employee satisfaction.
A Broader Context
Transportation, especially road passenger services, plays a pivotal role in India’s tertiary sector, driving economic growth and mobility. Since its inception in 1958, APSRTC has been a backbone of public transport in Andhra Pradesh, adapting to challenges such as the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, privatization rumors, and competition from private operators.
Dr. Sanyasiraju and Dr. Sundar’s book provides a detailed analysis of these challenges, offering valuable insights for policymakers, academicians, and public sector stakeholders.
