ORGANIZATIONAL ENVIRONMENT AND JOB SATISFACTION: A STUDY FOR UNIVERSITY FACULTIES IN LAHORE

Abstract

This study quantitatively examined the impact of organisational environment on job satisfaction among university faculties in Lahore. The organisational environment was divided into seven sub-variables, and job satisfaction into eight. The sample consisted of 400 university teachers from both public and private universities. The data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed no significant difference in job satisfaction levels based on gender or department. However, reward and benefit, facility, and team work significantly influenced job satisfaction levels. Regression analysis identified the organisational environment as a significant predictor of job satisfaction. Among the seven indicators of organisational environment, four had a significant effect on job satisfaction, while three did not. The study suggests that university administrations should focus on improving participation and support, guidance and support, and professional development to enhance their employees’ job satisfaction levels.
