Factors Affecting Level of Job Satisfaction among Employees of University of Punjab

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the factors which affect the level of job satisfaction of teaching faculty of University of the Punjab. A sample of 300 employees (Lecturer, Assistant professor, Associate professor, Professor and contractual teachers) was taken by using stratified random sampling technique. Findings show that empowerment, work environment, interpersonal relationships, good administrative strategies, standard health facilities, work burden and lack of communication are the factors which affect the level of job satisfaction of employees. Furthermore, the employees having experience more than 20 years were more satisfied with the salary package as compared to the employees having experiences less than 5 years. Male and female employees were equally satisfied with the work burden and chances of promotion in their jobs, which encourages them to stay here and not going to other universities.
