Abstract

The study was aimed at examining the role of recognition, achievement, work itself, advancement, and
responsibilities. The study was based on a survey. The population comprised 1199 private university teachers, while the sample size was 250 respondents. Linear regression analysis was used to test the
study hypothesis. The adapted questionnaire was for data collection while tool was validated through
KMO and Bartlett test. Reliability was checked through Cronbach alpha. The results of the research
revealed that faculty are more intrinsically satisfied than extrinsically. This implies that employees who are intrinsically satisfied with their educational environment will have higher levels of job performance, and these employees will contribute positively towards the success and overall productivity of the university. If the university management wants to boost the job satisfaction of the faculty, provide them with better opportunities in all aspects of their job, and adopt strategies to enhance their job satisfaction.
