Factors Contributing to Job Satisfaction in Higher Education

Several studies have been conducted to investigate
the level of job satisfaction among employees within
different types of organizations. A satisfied
workforce leads to higher productivity because of
fewer disruptions such as absenteeism, departure of
good employees, and incidences of destructive
behavior. Although extensive research has been
done in this area, there are still some major
controversies as to what are the real factors that
contribute to workers satisfaction and
dissatisfaction at the workplace. This book
therefore describes the elements that contribute to
job satisfaction and its relationship to
organizational and religious commitment among workers
in higher education. It is the expectation that the
content of this book will help to provide an
atmosphere within the organization that will enhance
workers satisfaction and increase their level of
commitment.
