Abstract
Public managers in any country at times find it difficult to disregard the issue of Job Satisfaction
as it directly affects their productivity and is often a cause of high turnover. The purpose of this
paper is to identify the determinant of job satisfaction in the AKSCAE. The research design
adopts for this study is explanatory. The reason behind using explanatory research design is
because; it is better to connect ideas to understand the cause and effect of something or to
explain what is going on. In an attempt to address the determinant of JS on both primary and
secondary data sources of the employee concerning primary data, the data was collected
through questionnaires was filled by the existing staff of the organizations.The researcher used a
sampling frame of the total population of male – 956 female – 813 total - 1773 employees to
servean estimated 220,740 sub-city pupils.A simplified formula to calculate sample size
(Yamane, 1967).Data were collected using a structured survey questionnaire. After testing scale
reliability and validity, multiple linear regressions were used.The results of the study indicated
that the JS and PB, WE, PO, RWS, TIL, and work experience have a positive correlation, and
have a major effect on Job Satisfaction.The regression analysis result indicated that 88.4% of the
variation in Job Satisfaction can be explained by the composite measure of independent
variables.Generally, this study shows that most of the employees are not satisfied with their job.
Based on this it is recommended that the government should work more on the above factors
especially in pay& benefit,and trust in leaders by considering the other competitive market. This
helps increase job satisfaction and to achieve its strategies and goals through a productive
workforce.It also helps to minimize employees’ turnover, absenteeism, and poor service delivery
