Özet:

 

There have been many studies conducted to determine variables that affect professional contentment. Some of these studies have looked at factors such as organizational involvement and commitment to organizations. Several of these studies found that a larger percentage of unemployed and employed personnel expressed dissatisfaction with their work commitment. The implications of those studies suggested that unemployed could reflect underlying adjustment disorders which have an impact on someone’s potential for successful employment. However, for those who are contented with their performance, in the long run these workers would have a higher gratification. They would give more attention on the quality of their work, more committed to the organization, have a higher retention rates, and would be more productive. Reflecting on these findings and how severe this issue may render, this study is conducted to identify the level of professional satisfaction of the academic staffs in a research university in the southern part of Malaysia. This paper will present the findings of the study which aimed to determine the level of satisfaction based on factors such as pay, promotion, supervision, fringe benefit, contingent reward, operating condition, coworkers, nature of work and communication.
