Abstract :
While there have been several studies related to job satisfaction, very few of them have been conducted in higher education in Jharkhand. The present work provides an empirical evidence to ascertain the implications of academic rank on the job satisfaction of academicians in Jharkhand. Data were obtained for 192 academicians from one institution of higher learning in Jharkhand. Results indicate that job satisfaction does not progressively increase with academic rank as might be expected. Out of the 20 aspects of the job examined, only 4 aspects, namely advancement, compensation, coworkers, and variety, were statistically significant with academic rank. In general, results indicate the degree of low satisfaction levels that exist among academicians in Jharkhand.
