Abstract

The concept of job satisfaction has gained much importance in modern times. Job satisfaction is determined by factors such as goal-setting, job design, demographic profile, rewards, leadership and individual differences. In the present study the effect of demographic variables, namely experience and educational level on job satisfaction of telecom executives was studied. Differences in job satisfaction across experience and educational level were studied on 320 executives working in telecommunication organizations located in North India, using job satisfaction scale developed by Spector (1985). The study revealed that there were significant differences between job satisfaction and its dimensions with regard to experience while there were no significant differences between job satisfaction and its dimensions with regard to educational level. The study implies that as the experience increases, job satisfaction also increases while educational level has no effect on job satisfaction of executives.
