Abstract

Job satisfaction is considered a positive feeling towards ones work, resulting from an evaluation of its characteristics. When the feeling is negative, it is considered as dissatisfaction. The aim of this work was to know the job satisfaction level of the academic community professors of the Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco, as well as the factors associated with this level of satisfaction. The type and the research design was non-experimental, descriptive and transactional, with a mixed approach carried out in two stages, a quantitative one through surveys and a qualitative one through focus groups. The results show that 26.9% of the professors have job dissatisfaction, showing warning signs: recognition, compensation and working conditions. The main causes are attributed to stress caused by working and work-related activities, the requesting of resources, and the administrative tasks.
