Book Description
Job satisfaction aroused interest in the scholarly debates due to its importance and impact on organizational productivity. The study was motivated by the situation in Tanzanian universities over the past three decades, where universities encountered numerous challenges, including funding shortage which negatively impacts teaching and research functions in universities. Consequently, labour strikes by academic staff have been on the rise, demanding better terms of service as they are dissatisfied with recognition, low wages, job security and promotion practices which ultimately cause high job turnover as number of academic staff pursue other seemingly financially promising non-academic jobs such as politics. The key objective of the study was: to examine the extent to which demographic characteristics of academic staff influence job satisfaction in universities in Tanzania. The study was based on Herzberg's Two-Factor theory. The study is significant because findings may contribute to universities towards enhancing the motivation strategies so as to make academic staff satisfied and hence perform better in teaching and research job functions. The study adopted cross-sectional survey, which embraced both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The data for this study were collected using questionnaires from 411 academic staff from three public and three private universities. Purposive sampling technique was used to select universities based on the following factors; geographical location, mode of academic programmes delivery, year of establishment and size of the university. The findings indicated that the academic rank had influence on recognition, remuneration, responsibility and promotion satisfaction indicators.

Book Description
"Until recently, the majority of the academics viewed the life of an academic as idyllic, autonomous and well protected. However, this scenario has since changed due to economic constraints and the reduction of government funding and funding from government agencies. Congruent to these transformations, technology advancements, students’ diversity, blended learning and the introduction of learning platforms has created further challenges in the way students learn and how modules are offered. It has become pivotal for academics to make contributions in the field of work through teaching and learning, community engagement, undertaking research activities, being part of staff training activities, performing administrative work, planning lectures, setting and marking of assessments providing feedback on academic performance, among other activities. These responsibilities often generate stress within the working environment. University academics face high stress levels that arise from persistent demands of academic life."--

Book Description
In an attempt to make South Africa a more just society after the first democratic elections on 27 April 1994, the South African society had to undergo a number of radical changes which impacted the social, economical, political and educational arena. These changes have influenced recruitment, retention and turnover. Changes at leadership levels in the private and public sphere coupled with a huge exodus of highly skilled professionals are evident as topics of equality and social justice appear at the top of company agendas. Many proponents have conducted research on organisational justice and the fact that more than twenty five thousand articles have been published on job satisfaction attest to the importance of these two variables on organisational performance. In an article examining past, present and future states of organisational justice it is argued that organisational justice has the potential to explain many organisational behavioural outcome variables. An investigation of the relationship between organisational justice perceptions and work behavior found job satisfaction to be made up of a large fairness component. The rationale behind the support for the study is the argument that employees who perceive that they have been fairly treated is likely to hold positive attitudes about their work, their work outcomes and their managers. If South African organisations wish to remain competitive then organisations need to understand how perceptions of justice influence attitudes and behaviour and consequently affect the success of the organisation. Agricultural Colleges, a division of the Department of Agriculture are no exception. The Agricultural Colleges' primary aim is to provide training to its prospective communities, and is continuously being evaluated in terms of how well its academic employees achieve its vision, mission and goals. It is evident from responses to job advertisements, low morale and high turnover that most of the academic employees in Agricultural Colleges are dissatisfied with their jobs, pay, management and the institutions based on their current salary. Attracting, recruiting and retraining highly skilled, internationally marketable and mobile employees are critical factors in determining the present and future success in agricultural training in South Africa. Limited research to examine the effects of organisational justice on organisational outcomes in an environment where the workforce consists of academics is the gap this research attempts to fill. This study is designed to assess the impact of organisational justice on job satisfaction of academic employees in agricultural colleges in South Africa. Also, to determine whether biographical values influence the relationship between organisational justice and job satisfaction.
