INTRODUCTION OF SAIL

The Precursor

SAIL traces its origin to the formative years of an emerging nation - India. During

struggle for independence, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, our first Prime Minister, had a very

clear vision about the role of Steel in the development of our country. Although TATA

Iron & Steel Company (TISCO) has been establishment in 1907 marking the beginning

of Indian Steel Industry followed by Indian Steel Co. (1918), they were too small to meet

the development requirements of a big country like ours. Therefore, in the 1st Industrial

Policy Resolution of the Govt., soon after independence, Govt. decided to establish Steel

Plants in Public Sector. The builders of modern India worked with a vision - to lay

the infrastructure for rapid industrialisaton of the country. The steel sector was to

propel the economic growth. Hindustan Steel Private Limited was set up on

January 19, 1954. The President of India held the shares of the company on

behalf of the people of India.

Expanding Horizon (1959-1973)

Hindustan Steel (HSL) was initially designed to manage only one plant that was

coming up at Rourkela. For Bhilai and Durgapur Steel Plants, the preliminary

work was done by the Iron and Steel Ministry. From April 1957, the supervision

and control of these two steel plants were also transferred to Hindustan Steel.

There is a little bit of SAIL in everybody’s life… 7

Page 8: 37840048-BSP

The registered office was originally in New Delhi. It moved to Calcutta in July

1956, and ultimately to Ranchi in December 1959.

A new steel company, Bokaro Steel Limited, was incorporated in January 1964 to

construct and operate the steel plant at Bokaro. The 1 MT phases of Bhilai and

Rourkela Steel Plants were completed by the end of December 1961. The 1 MT

phase of Durgapur Steel Plant was completed in January 1962 after

commissioning of the Wheel and Axle plant. The crude steel production of HSL

went up from .158 MT (1959-60) to 1.6 MT. The second phase of Bhilai Steel

Plant was completed in September 1967 after commissioning of the Wire Rod

Mill. The last unit of the 1.8 MT phase of Rourkela - the Tandem Mill - was

commissioned in February 1968, and the 1.6 MT stage of Durgapur Steel Plant

was completed in August 1969 after commissioning of the Furnace in SMS.

Thus, with the completion of the 2.5 MT stage at Bhilai, 1.8 MT at Rourkela and

1.6 MT at Durgapur, the total crude steel production capacity of HSL was raised

to 3.7 MT in 1968-69 and subsequently to 4MT in 1972-73.

SAIL Today

SAIL today is one of the largest industrial entities in India. Its strength has

been the diversified range of quality steel products catering to the domestic, as

well as the export markets and a large pool of technical and professional

expertise.

Today, the accent in SAIL is to continuously adapt to the competitive

business environment and excel as a business organization, both within and

outside India.

and the OHSAS-18001 certification for Occupational health and safety. These

internationally recognised certifications add value to Bhilai’s products and helps create a

place among the best organizations in the steel industry.

THE BEGINNING

This Leadership of free, India took a visionary decision to set up integrated steel

plants under the exclusive responsibility of the state owing to the massive investment

needed for creating additional Steel capacity, which private industry would not be able

to mobilize and the cardinal role steel would play in rapid economic advancement as a

major step towards this goal, government of INDIA and USSR entered into an

agreement signed at New Delhi on 2nd march 1955, for the establishment of an

integrated Iron and Steel works at Bhilai with an initial capacity of one million tonnes of

ingot steel.

The main consideration which responsible for setting up the plant at Bhilai, was

the availability of Iron ore at Delhi-Rajhara at a distance of about 90 Km from the site

limestone from Nandini at 22 km and dolomite at HIRRI at 41 km. The plant was

There is a little bit of SAIL in everybody’s life… 17

Page 18: 37840048-BSP

commissioned with the inauguration of the first blast furnace by the then president of

India. Dr. Rajendra Prasad on 4th Febraury 1959. The plant was soon expanded to 2.5

Million tonnes in September 1967 and in further expansion to 4 MT was completed in

1988. The main focus in the 4 MT stage was on the continuous casting unit and the

plate mill, a new technology in steel casting and shaping for any integrated steel plant to

India during those times.

Existing Technology and Future Road Map

There have been rapid advancements in all areas of iron and steel technology in the world. BSP has a mix of old and new technologies. Its 55% production is through outdated twin hearth furnace route. Initially priority was given to modernization of other steel plants and later due to resource crunch faced by SAIL; modernization of the BSP had to be deferred. A new Sinter Plant, secondary refining technology in steel making, long rail technology for rolling and finishing and installation of optical fiber network (ATM) throughout the plant are some of the new technologies embraced by the plant in recent past. Now that resources for modernization have been committed to BSP under Modernization and Expansion Plan, BSP is set to embrace new state of the art technologies for improvement in productivity, yield and quality and for reducing operational costs. Plans have been drawn where BSP is destined to be a 7 MT hot metal plant by 2010-11.

DEFINITION OF THE SUBJECT

There is a little bit of SAIL in everybody’s life… 42

Page 43: 37840048-BSP

Work represents such a role in life which has been designated to it by the person

himself.On the one hand work is an earning of one’s living for the family, on the other

hand it could be a self-realisation providing enjoyment and satisfaction.

The safe work environment provides the basis for the person to enjoy working. The workshould not pose a health hazard for the person. The employer and employee, aware of their risks and rights, could achieve a lot in their mutually beneficial dialogue. As the work culture changes drastically in the recent years, the traditional concept of work to fulfil humans’ basic needs are also facing out. The basic needs are continued to diversify and change according to the evolution of the work system and standards of living of a workforce

Quality Of Work Life(QWL) can be define as "The quality of relationship between employees and the total working environment.”

QWL is a process by which an organization responds to employee needs for developing mechanisms to allow them to share fully in making the decision. The defining of quality of work life involves three major parts: occupational health care, suitable working time and appropriate salary.

A definition by Suttle (1977) on the QWL as the degree to which work are able to satisfy important personal basic needs through their experience in the organisation is no longer relevant. Generally jobs in the contemporary work environment offer sufficient rewards, benefits, recognition and control to employees over their actions. Although to some extent contemporary workforce are compensated appropriately, their personal spending practices, lifestyles, leisure activities, individual value systems, health and so forth can affect their levels of need. It is similar to the argument posted in the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs in which each individual has different level of needs because in reality what is important to some employees may not be important to others although they are being treated equally in the same organization. This definition, focusing on personal needs has neglected the fact that the construct of QWL is subjective and continuously evolves due to an evergrowing needs of each and every employees. Hackman and Oldhams (1980) further highlight the constructs of QWL in relation to the interaction between work environment and personal needs. The work environment that is able to fulfill employees’ personal needs is considered to provide a positive interaction effect, which will lead to an excellent QWL. They emphasized the

There is a little bit of SAIL in everybody’s life… 43

Page 44: 37840048-BSP

personal needs are satisfied when rewards from the organisation, such as compensation, promotion, recognition and development meet their expectations Parallel to this definition, Lawler (1982) defines QWL in terms of job characteristics and work conditions. He highlights that the core dimension of the entire QWL in the organization is to improve employees’well-being and productivity. The most common interaction that relates to improvement of employees’well-being and productivity is the design of the job. Job design that is able to provide higher employeesatisfaction is expected to be more productive. However, he accepted the fact that QWL is complex,because it comprises physical and mental well being of employees. Later definition by Beukema (1987) describes QWL as the degree to which employees are able to shape their jobs actively, in accordance with their options, interests and needs. It is the degree of power an organization gives to its employees to design their work. This means that the individual employee has the full freedom to design his job functions to meet his personal needs and interests. This definition emphasizes the individual’s choice of interest in carrying out the task. However, this definition differs from the former which stresses on the organization that designs the job to meet employees’ interest. It is difficult for the organization to fulfill the personal needs and values of each employee. However if the organization provides the appropriate authority to design work activities to the individual employees, then it is highly possible that the work activities can match their employees’ needs that contribute to the organizational performance.

How does the “Quality of work Life” affect the working climate of an organization?

There is a little bit of SAIL in everybody’s life… 44

Page 45: 37840048-BSP

The QWL or Quality of Work Life in an organization is essential to the smooth running and the success of its employees. The Work – Life balance must be maintained effectively to ensure that all employees are running at their peak potential and free from stress and strain. The Quality of Work Life can affect such things as: an employees timings, his or her work output, his or her available leaves, etc. An organization’s HR department assumes responsibility for the effective running of the Quality of Work Life for their employees. Quality of Work Life helps employees to feel secure and like they’re being thought of and cared for by the organization in which they work The aim of QWL is to identify and implement alternative programs to improve the quality of professional as well as personal life of an organization’s employees

QWL programs can be evaluated on the basis of following points:

a. Fair compensation and job security: The economic interests of people drive them to work at a job and employee satisfaction depends at least partially , on the compensation offered. Pay should be fixed on the basis of the work done, responsibilities undertaken, individual skills , performance and accomplishments. Job security is another factor that is of concern to employees. Permanent employment provides security to the employees and improves their QWL.

b. Health is wealth: Organizations should realize that their true wealth lies in their employees and so providing a healthy work environment for employees should be their primary objective.

c. Provide personal and career growth opportunities: An organization should provide employees with opportunities for personal/professional development and growth and to prepare them to accept responsibilities at higher levels.

d. Participative management style and recognition: Flat organizational structures help organizations facilitate employee participation . A participative management style improves the quality of work life. Workers feel that they have control over their work processes and they also offer innovative ideas to improve them. Recognition also helps to motivate employees to perform better. Recognition can be in the form of rewarding employees for jobs well done.

e. Work-life balance: Organizations should provide relaxation time for the employees and offer tips to balance their personal and professional lives. They should not strain employees personal and social life by forcing on them demanding working hours,overtime work, business travel, untimely transfers etc.

f. Fun at workplace: This is growing trend adopted by today’s organizations to make their offices a fun place to work.

WORKER’S COMMITMENT

Worker’s commitment in the fields of in a general sense, the employee's psychological attachment to the organization. It can be contrasted with other work-related attitudes, such as Job Satisfaction, defined as an employee's feelings about their job, and Organizational identification, defined as the degree to which an employee experiences a 'sense of oneness' with their organization.

Beyond this general sense, Organizational scientists have developed many nuanced definitions of organizational commitment, and numerous scales to measure them. Exemplary of this work is Meyer & Allen's model of commitment, which was developed to integrate numerous definitions of commitment that had proliferated in the literature.

MODEL OF COMMITMENT

According to Meyer and Allen's (1991) three-component model of commitment, prior research indicated that there are three "mind sets" which can characterize an employee's commitment to the organization:

Affective Commitment: AC is defined as the employee's positive emotional attachment to the organization. An employee who is affectively committed strongly identifies with the goals of the organization and desires to remain a part of the organization. This employee commits to the organization because he/she "wants to". In developing this concept, Meyer and Allen drew largely on Mowday, Porter, and Steers's (1982) concept of commitment, which in turn drew on earlier work by Kanter (1968).

Continuance Commitment: The individual commits to the organization because he/she perceives high costs of losing organizational membership (cf. Becker's 1960 "side bet theory"), including economic costs (such as pension accruals) and social costs (friendship ties with co-workers) that would be incurred. The employee remains a member of the organization because he/she "has to".

Normative Commitment: The individual commits to and remains with an organization because of feelings of obligation. These feelings may derive from many sources. For example, the organization may have invested resources in training an employee who then feels a 'moral' obligation to put forth effort on the job and stay with the organization to 'repay the debt.' It may also reflect an internalized norm, developed before the person joins the organization through family or other socialization processes, that one should be loyal to one's

There is a little bit of SAIL in everybody’s life… 46

Page 47: 37840048-BSP

organization. The employee stays with the organization because he/she "ought to".

COMMITMENT PROFILE

Note that according to Meyer and Allen, these components of commitment are not mutually exclusive: an employee can simultaneously be committed to the organization in an affective, normative, and continuance sense, at varying levels of intensity. This idea led Meyer and Herscovitch (2001) to argue that at any point in time, an employee has a "commitment profile" that reflects high or low levels of all three of these mind-sets, and that different profiles have different effects on workplace behavior such as job performance, absenteeism, and the chance that the organization member will quit.

Meyer and Allen developed the Affective Commitment Scale (ACS), the Normative Commitment Scale (NCS) and the Continuance Commitment Scale (CCS) to measure these components of commitment. Many researchers have used them to determine what impact an employee's level of commitment has on outcomes such as quitting behavior, job performance, and absenteeism.

QUALITY CIRCLE

Quality circle is a small group of employees from the same work area who voluntarily participate in identifying, analyzing, finding and suggesting solutions to work related problems. These are considered by the management and all feasible suggestions are implemented by the circle members themselves.

Quality circle is nothing but “collective problem solving through voluntary participation.”

BENEFITS OF QUALITY CIRCLE-

TO THE EMPLOYEES - Important source of job satisfaction which is normally not available in the

routine job.

Provide a sense of participation. Develop competence and confidence in creating changes and prepare

persons for shouldering high responsibilities in the organization hierarchy. Build up team approach to solving problem. Help to improve work environment and methods.

TO THE ORGANISATION- Development of a complete coherent problem solving methodology. Increase production or productivity. Enhanced motivation to the employees. Improved quality.

Better employer-employee relationship.

QUALITY CIRCLE N BSPOne of the most important tools for improvement through peoples’ involvement is Quality Circle. Introduced as Shop Improvement Group (SIG) in 1988 in Bhilai Steel Plant, it was rechristened as Q.C. in 1992-93. Starting with a humble beginning of 52 QC projects in the year of its inception, the plant has completed 2533 projects in the year 2002-03 involving 10700 employees.

This forum is quite different from all the above schemes. In this forum the awards or cash prizes are provided. This forum (SCF) is conducted by the employees and for the employees, and the executives only facilitate the environment.

The employees are provided with company’s information (SAIL) about BSP and the information regarding the problem and targets are informed by the executives to their employees. Now the role of the employees is to analyze the problems and resulting suggestions should be practical in order to implement them.

This forum has a very short duration i.e. minimum one month or more.

SUGGESTION

After considering various parameters and data, I would like to give the following suggestions each of the suggestion given has its own fall outs and therefore be implemented with utmost care. So the organization has to be seriously think about it and take necessary steps.

. The organization should provide need based training facilities to all grades of

employees as per their job requirement.

The organization should improve the working environment of the employees so that they can work better and increase productivity (In case of many departments where workers work in extreme hazardous conditions).

The trainees should be free from the confusion and pressure of the work situation so that they can concentrate fully on learning.

The promotion policy in the organization should be transparent so that the employees will work hard to improve themselves for promotion. The organization should change the concept of time based promotion and give the employees promotion according to their work & sincerity.

Where there is enough manpower the system can be centralized.

CONCLUSION

BSP promises a glowing future for itself and the country’s development in order to

harness the benefit and standard of living of the people of the state and the country.

After eight weeks of Vocational Training, I came to the conclusion that the quality

of work life is good in BSP but the management should take initiative to satisfy the

workers in terms of Training as most of them feel the further requirement of training by

the organization.

Most of the workers of the organization are committed towards their work and the

organization as more than 50% of them do not want to leave and work in any other

organization in Steel Sector.
