"While working women in India find highest levels of job satisfaction in public sector undertakings measured at scale is seven, females engaged in BPO/KPO sector are least satisfied from their current jobs that averaged to 4 on scale of ten," industry body Assocham said.

Out of the 773 working women participated in the survey, majority said that they would like to do jobs in PSUs, it said a day before the International Women's Day (March 8).

"Majority of working women gave priority to PSU sectors like banking, power and petroleum emphasising that these (sectors) provide satisfying nature of work, including reasonably good annual income with job security and convenient working hours, besides healthy work environment," it said.

While, women employed in BPO/KPO feel lack of personal growth and development as they perceived less room in decision making process, no flexibility in work timings and lot of pressure to achieve targets, it said.

The study also said that working women in the sectors like agro-based industries, economic and social organisation, hospitality, IT, media and entertainment were also not satisfied. "In all these sectors, the satisfaction levels hovers around close to a scale of 4," it said.
