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
Higher education systems have changed all over the world, but not all have changed in the same ways. Although system growth and so-called massification have been worldwide themes, there have been system-specific changes as well. It is these changes that have an important impact on academic work and on the opinions of the staff that work in higher education. The academic profession has a key role to play in producing the next generations of knowledge workers, and this task will be more readily achieved by a contented academic workforce working within well-resourced teaching and research institutions. This volume tells the story of academics’ opinions about the changes in their own countries. The Changing Academic Profession (CAP) survey has provided researchers and policy makers with the capacity to compare the academic profession around the world. Built around national analyses of the survey this book examines academics’ opinions on a range of issues to do with their job satisfaction. Following an introduction that considers the job satisfaction literature as it relates to higher education, country-based chapters examine aspects of job satisfaction within each country.
