Dear Sir please guide me what is the major difference b/w project and dissertation.

Replied 

A project is applicable to a particular organization/sector, a particular set up only. It provides solutions to any specific issue. The outcomes of project are more specific, not general in nature and can be applied to a specific setup only. A dissertation is a more detailed and generally acceptable research work. It can be applied to the whole field in general. It is a more in-depth research work. It is a document in which researcher presents his/ her work and findings on any existing problem. It means that you have looked into something and are describing what you have found.

In case of your final project, you need to write the Literature Review properly for this you need to study different articles relevant to satisfaction from different journals so that you can get the idea of how to write the literature review. You need to write only on the relevant variables that you have selected for your study and avoid the irrelevant information. You have selected five factors in order to measure the satisfaction so make sure that you write the literature review relevant to the selected five variables of satisfaction. Secondly, you have collected the data but your analysis was completely wrong, you need to calculate the mean values of each factor as well as question wise mean values. So make sure that you know exactly how to calculate the mean values in MS Excel.
