Abstract

The current study was framed to sociological analysis the factor of responsibility and job
satisfaction among rural industrial workers in District Dir. Lower, KP-Pakistan. Data was collected
from 279 industrial workers of Crush Plants, Marble and Furniture Industries through multistage
random sampling techniques in study population. The nature of the study was quantitative and
cross sectional. Chi-square and Kendall’s Tc tests were used to find association between
independent statements and dependent variable. The association between relationship
independent statement, my work responsibility is clearly described (P = 0.000; Tc = 0.179), evenly
distribution of work responsibility (P=0.000; Tc=0.177), work responsibility fully utilize/matching my
skill (P = 0.017; Tc = 0.157). Similarly, responsibility are assigned on need of the work, the
association is (P = 0.436, Tc = 0.074), I have a multiple work to do (P = 0.045; Tc =-0.045),
responsibility and personal well-being (P = 0.004; Tc = 0.126) and whereas the association for
responsibility and social well-being of the workers (P = 0.045; T c=-0.045). Further, the relationship
was find spurious for responsibility and job satisfaction in context of educational status of the
workers. As a whole the study find role ambiguity, role conflict and multiple task performance with
toughest work schedule in the sampled industries, thus leading to dissatisfaction of workers as
well as industrial development in the region. The policy of green HRM (the right person right job)
must be adopted within the local industrial sector. A flexible timetable must be devised so the
workers may find proper time for their socio-personal well-being. The study conclude that higher
and greater the role conflict and ambiguity leading to least job satisfaction among workers
consequently negatively rubs workers for their socio-personal well-being in the region. To assure
job satisfaction and as result industrial development through the philosophy of responsibilities
(role) the principle of green HRM (right person right job) must be followed by local management of
the company.
