Abstract
The purpose of this empirical investigation is to examine the predictability of selected demographic factors on the job satisfaction among faculty and staff employed at an urban university. Specifically, this study examined the predictability of the demographic factors (gender, ethnicity, age, and years of experience) on the general, extrinsic, and intrinsic components of job satisfaction among faculty and staff when controlling for number of hours worked, relationship with co-workers, recognition and support on the job and institutional climate. Three hypotheses were formulated for this study. All hypotheses were tested at the .05 level of significance or better. A predictive correctional research design was utilized in this empirical study. The multiple regression procedure Ordinary Least Squared (OLS) regression was used to examine the relationship and predictability of more than one predictor variable to one criterion variable employing the principles of correlation and regression. Based on the findings, this study concluded that demographic variables of gender, ethnicity, age, and years of experience were not reliable predictors of general job satisfaction among faculty and staff. In addition, demographic variables of gender, ethnicity, age, and years of experience were found not to be reliable predictors of extrinsic job satisfaction among faculty and staff. Furthermore, in general, number of hours worked, and the relationship with demographic variables of gender, ethnicity, age, and years of experience were not good predictors of intrinsic job satisfaction among faculty and staff.
