Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper aims to examine the effect of job satisfaction on the levels of job performance and occupational commitment among academicians in the universities. A structured questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection, with academic staff in the Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University as respondents. The results of regression analysis indicated that job satisfaction has a positive impact on job performance and occupational commitment. Job satisfaction explains the 36.7 percent of job performance, and 48.0 percent of occupational commitment of academic staff. Additionally, occupational commitment has also a positive impact on job performance of academicians and explains 28.7 percent of their job performance. Academic administrators can provide a suitable organizational climate to increase the satisfaction level and thus, occupational commitment and job performance of the academic staff will increase. The results and recommendations in the paper will be of interest to all academic administrators and staff, not only for the Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University but also for the academic administrators in all universities.
