Code checking for all values in the same if statement.

I am trying to set up a variable based on the name of the file.

Code:
function script_name {

if [ $1='pms.upload.log' ]
then
job_name='MONITOR'
return job_name;

elsif [ $1='pms.download.log'
then
job_name='REJECT'
return job_name

elif [ $1='pms.pre.mon.log' ]
then
job_name='VERSION'
return job_name

fi
}
for i in `ls *log`
do
script_name $i
done.

For some reason the conditon in 1st if condition is being evaluated to true all the times.

Any help is appreciated.
