Abstract

The banking sector in India plays a crucial role in economic development, with human resource (HR) practices significantly influencing employee job satisfaction. This study assesses the HR practices adopted in the Indian banking sector, focusing on banks in Uttar Pradesh (U.P.). It examines key HR functions, including recruitment, training, performance appraisal, compensation, and work-life balance, and their impact on job satisfaction. Using a mixed-methods approach, data was collected from employees of public and private sector banks through surveys and interviews. The findings highlight that effective HR policies lead to higher employee motivation, retention, and job satisfaction, thereby improving overall organizational performance. The study suggests policy interventions for enhancing HR practices to foster a more engaged and satisfied workforce.

Keywords: HR practices, job satisfaction, Indian banking sector, employee motivation, work-life balance, organizational performance.
