Abstract

This manuscript presents an in-depth comparative analysis of job satisfaction among loco pilots in the Guntakal and Vijayawada divisions of Indian Railways. Loco pilots in Indian Railways play a critical role in ensuring the safe and timely operation of trains across one of the world’s largest rail networks. Their job is highly demanding, involving long hours, irregular schedules, and significant responsibility for passenger and freight safety. By employing a structured questionnaire and robust statistical methods, the study investigates how factors such as work environment, management support, workload, and work-life balance influence job satisfaction. These divisions, both under the South Central Railway zone, present distinct operational environments: Guntakal covers a vast, less urban area with long-distance routes, while Vijayawada is a busy, densely populated junction with high train traffic and complex scheduling.The findings highlight significant differences between the two divisions and provide actionable recommendations for improving employee wellbeing and operational efficiency.Recent research has focused on understanding and comparing the job satisfaction levels of loco pilots in the Guntakal and Vijayawada divisions of Indian Railways
