Abstract

Job satisfaction is perhaps the most important aspect that critically influences the success of the organisation. This has given rise to employee expectations and has obligated employers to take into consideration even the diminutive parameters which influence their satisfaction. This research study highlights the perception of academicians towards their job satisfaction under various dimensions. It also explores whether there is any significant difference between the selected demographics and perception of university teachers over satisfaction issues. The findings of the study revealed pay and job security to be the most highly rated aspect of job satisfaction. Among the demographic variables only age was found to be significantly affecting job satisfaction. The study thus implies that when teachers' needs are satisfied, their psychological well-being is promoted. This study may benefit the decision-makers in universities to follow the proactive practices to improve the satisfaction of teachers.
