Abstract

Job satisfaction has been one of the major facets of research in behavioural sciences covering wide range of cross-cultural populations. Nevertheless, researching on the satisfaction among faculty members has been unexplored, at least in India. The present paper intends to study the level of job satisfaction among the faculty members at select B-schools in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. The objectives of the study are to find the ranking preference for job satisfaction dimensions and to assess the satisfaction in relation to demographic variables of the faculty members. A random sample of 53 faculty from 29 B-schools, to whom a questionnaire was administered. The results reveal that faculty members prefer teaching, pay, coworkers, management and research as the top satisfaction dimensions. Further, there is significant difference between job satisfaction score according to age and designation. Implications were drawn for improving job satisfaction and also for future research considerations.
