Banks play a decisive role in the development of rural area, industry, trade and also play an important position in the country’s economy. They are acting not only as the custodian of the wealth of the country but also as resources of the country, which are necessary for the economic development of a nation. The general role of banks is to provide financial services to general public, business, ensuring economic and social stability for the sustainable growth of the economy. The term "job satisfaction" has been defined in a variety of ways. Job satisfaction is concerned with all of the feelings that an individual has about his or her job. Organizational behaviour research has assumed that employees who express high job satisfaction are more likely to be productive, more involved, and less likely to resign than employees who express low job satisfaction. Hence the researcher selected the present study as “Job satisfaction of women employees working in private sector banks”.

Tools such as Chi –square test, Factor analysis and one way ANOVA were used for analysis. The study's findings highlight important job satisfiers and dissatisfiers and suggest some measures for the performance of women employees working in private sector banks who have reported low satisfaction.
