Abstract

respondents. After ensuring the normality of the data, factor analysis was conducted to reduce the data into factors. The results of the study
highlighted that ‘inadequate paid leave’ followed by ‘following deadlines’ and ‘expected to do much work in too little time’ resulted in low
level of satisfaction among private university teaching staff. Besides these, the paper also presents the managerial implications, limitations,
and scope of future research of the study.
Keywords Job Satisfaction, Private University Teaching Staff, Stratified Random Sampling, Organizational Culture, Promotion.
