A Study on the Relationship of Workload, Rewards and Career Development towards Job Satisfaction among Academic Staff in UNIMAS

Abstract

Job satisfaction is one of the aspects that may affect employees’ performance and productivity in an organization. The objective of this project paper is to determine the factors that have a significant relationship with job satisfaction among academic staff in a public institution in Sarawak which is UNIMAS. All the collected data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23. Moreover, links for Google form questionnaires were distributed to the academic staff in UNIMAS. From this study, it clearly showed that workload, rewards, and career development have a significant relationship with employees’ job satisfaction. Therefore, future researchers are recommended to test other variables other than these variables to identify many characteristics or variables that influence job satisfaction.
