Factors Affecting Employee Job Satisfaction in Private Universities in Sub-Saharan Africa: The Case of Ghana
Journal Title: Journal of Economics, Management and Trade - Year 2017, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to assess the determinants of job satisfaction of workers in private universities. A survey of 600 workers was conducted regarding job satisfaction levels and what factors affect their level of satisfaction. Results indicate that remuneration is the most important factor driving the overall job satisfaction of the workers in the selected private universities. Regression results suggest that management should pay attention to other factors like employee-organization relationship and staff development. Married individuals are more likely to be satisfied in working at private university than those who are not married. In addition, we find education to negatively correlate with job satisfaction. Age does not correlate with the level of job satisfaction of employees in private university.
