Özet:

Job satisfaction can be described as the balance between the employees’ expected benefit after accomplishing a task and the actual benefits obtained.   Data was collected from a sample of full time academic members (teaching and research) of a private and state university business administration departments, using Spector’s job satisfaction questionnaire. Job satisfaction levels of respondents were evaluated at nine different job dimensions by also taking account of differentials due to demographic variables. Results of the analysis  indicated that, although academic members of the private university did not report any job  dissatisfaction in total, state university academic members seemed to be more satisfied with their jobs. While academic members working for the state university stated highest dissatisfaction with their pay, fringe benefits, possible rewards and procedures, private university’s academic members were mostly dissatisfied with procedures.
