In addition, the present study also finds that most respondents were satisfied with their university jobs, mirroring the results of the studies by Castillo and Cano (2004), Eyupoglu andSanner (2009), Ghazi et al (2010), Malik (2011, Noordin andJusoff (2009), andSyed et al (2012).

“…Tack and Patitu (1992) performed a count of the number of articles indexed within the research databases ERIC and PsycINFO during the period from 1970 to 1992 on the topic of job satisfaction in higher education, and toward that only 13.7 per cent of all articles were focused on faculty job satisfaction. Recently, several studies have examined the job satisfaction of faculty members in higher education in developed countries; unfortunately, evidence from developing countries is seriously lacking and is a gap which needs to be filled (Eyupoglu & Saner, 2009;Ssesanga & Garrett, 2005). Garrett (1999) also believes that there is a need for more data to be gathered from developing countries, and for theories to be tested in different cultural contexts, professional, social, and economic environments.…”

University faculty members with higher job satisfaction are more productive, creative and positive attitude towards their job. Even less is known about university faculty job satisfaction in developing countries like Vietnam. This study examines the effects of demographic, internal and external university environment factors on faculty job satisfaction in Vietnamese higher education. The study investigated 200 faculty members working in the five member colleges of Vietnam National University of Ho Chi Minh City. The results showed that most respondents were satisfied with their jobs, and that faculty job satisfaction varied with age and discipline. The present study also found that job satisfaction was significantly influenced by demographic and internal and external university environment factors. The study's implications for university management are also discussed.

“…Castillo and Cano (2004) asserted that academic qualifications had only negligible effect on the level of job satisfaction of faculty staff. However, Schroder (2008) and Eyupoglu and Saner (2009) reported that university employees with doctorates displayed significantly higher levels of job satisfaction than their counterparts with a master's or bachelor degree.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine demographic effects on the satisfaction levels of lecturers from a Singapore public tertiary institution regarding job-related variables. The research findings indicated that demographic variables had an effect on the levels of satisfaction over specific job-related differentials. Satisfaction related to job stress levels increased significantly with being female, age, job position and length of employment; while satisfaction over salary levels rose significantly with being female and job position. Satisfaction with nature of the job was significantly affected positively with job position, academic qualification and length of employment; whereas satisfaction over supervision level decreased significantly with age, marital status, job position and length of employment. Satisfaction with organisational justice rose significantly with age, job position and length of employment, while satisfaction over communication was decreased significantly with age and years of service. These findings have practical implications for the management of the tertiary institution to reexamine their current institutional policies and make the necessary changes to enhance job satisfaction of the academics.
