dc.description.abstract |
The main purpose of this study was to examine whether the remuneration of the state university
lectures had an impact on their overall job satisfaction and to assess the overall level of job
satisfaction of university lectures of state universities in Sri Lanka. A quantitative approach was
employed in this study, and a structured questionnaire was used to collect data from university
lectures in fifteen state universities in Sri Lanka. Out of fifteen state universities, a representative
sample based on a multi-stage stratified random sampling method was used, where 500
questionnaires were distributed and 423 questionnaires deemed usable for further analysis were
identified. In terms of findings, the multiple regression analysis performed to test the research
hypothesis on the relationship between remuneration and overall job satisfaction indicated that the
factor ‘remuneration’ is a significant positive factor affecting the overall lectures job satisfaction of
academics in Sri Lankan state universities. Further, in terms of the overall job satisfaction of
academic staff members of Sri Lankan state universities, the median and mean values of were found
to be 3.95 and 3.93 (in a 1-5 Likert scale), respectively, and in addition, the mean value was also
found to be significantly higher than the neural value 3 (based on one-sample t-test). This means
that the university lectures are generally satisfied with their jobs in the Sri Lankan context. |
