Abstract
An empirical study of faculty job satisfaction concerned with work achievement, work role clarity, superordinates, co-workers, pay, promotions and facilities. Results show that faculty are most dissatisfied with pay, promotions and administration, and that faculty in academic divisions with higher pay scales are more satisfied than those in divisions with lower pay scales. A number of practical suggestions for university governance are made, including the provision of multiple tenure tracks.Keywords
