Predictors of Job Satisfaction in Teachers of Female Public Sector Universities

Abstract

This research aims to identify factors influencing job satisfaction among female Public Sector Universities (FPSU) teachers. By using a survey-based, cross-sectional research design, we examine, evaluate, and discover how contingent rewards (COR) and perceived organizational support (POS) affect job satisfaction (JS). In this study target population is Lahore College for Women's University (LCWU), a Public Sector Institution of higher learning for women in Lahore, Pakistan. Through the use of self-administered surveys and a variety of established scales or instruments, the data is gathered to assess job satisfaction, perceived organizational support, and contingent rewards. Data collection and research about the influence of demographics on job satisfaction is also done using the demographic information sheet (DIS). Lahore College for Women University, Lahore, Pakistan, is the site of the research, which is conducted on the teaching faculty members there. The SPSS program is used for data analysis, which covers both descriptive and inferential statistics such as ANOVA, correlation, regression, and "t" test. The research is based on the relevant articles and research papers referenced via EndNote. The findings demonstrate that perceived organizational support and contingent rewards are two crucial elements that significantly enhance the teaching faculty at Lahore College for Women University's job satisfaction and serve as its predictors. This study has theoretical, methodological, procedural, and practical implications because its analyses, interpretations, and results can be used to make Teachers satisfied and to increase overall efficiency. Contingent rewards and perceived organizational support play a crucial role in boosting job satisfaction and serve as key indicators for predicting job satisfaction.
