| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this thesis is to compare the levels of job satisfaction between academic and administrative staffs of Adama Science and Technology University by testing the variables including the work itself, compensation, promotion, working condition, and supervision on job satisfaction. It is a cross case study of two groups of employees of ASTU which are academic and administrative employees. The study used a survey data collection method with sample size of (N=1180), 130 respondents from academic staffs and 160 respondents from administrative staffs based on stratified random sampling method. A quantitative methodology of descriptive type was utilized to analyze the data, and Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire were used as measuring instrument. The data gathered from the respondents were analyzed by using frequency, percentage, cross tabulation, mean and standard deviation. The result of descriptive statistics shows that both groups of employees are not satisfied in work itself, compensation, and working condition and are recommended to improve this area. But the academic staffs are satisfied with promotion and supervision than the administrative staffs. The chi square test result shows that the p-value of ‘the praise they get for doing good job’ is 0.061. Hence null hypothesis is accepted and conclude there is no significance difference between levels of satisfaction in administrative staffs on the praise they get for doing good. However the p - values of the way university policies are put into practice is 0.210 which is greater than 0.05. Hence null hypothesis is accepted and conclude there is no significance difference between levels of satisfaction of academic staffs on the way university policies are put into practice. Based on the data gathered during investigation, the researcher recommend that ASTU should provide purposive short term trainings to both groups, allow to participate in decision making process and facilitate employees transfer for academic staffs to other public higher educational institution in collaborating to other public universities. Since the study setting comprised two groups of employees in a single institution, future study could include more similar institution including private institution and other additional variables like work group relationship accordingly the study can be generalized widely | en_US |
