ABSTRACT
Identifying the factors leading to job satisfaction could be useful in increasing faculty members' job satisfaction and motivating them to perform their educational and research activities. This study was conducted to determine job satisfaction rate among faculty members of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in the year 2005-2006. In a descriptive study, 210 faculty members of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences were selected through stratified random sampling. A researcher-made questionnaire including 45 items in the areas of salary and rewards, promotion opportunities, management stAuts and communications, job security, physical conditions, environment, and nAutre of the work was completed as self-administered. It was analyzed by SPSS software using frequency distribution, mean, and standard deviation. The mean and standard deviation of faculty members' job satisfaction were 65.09 +/- 14.93 out of 100. The mean and standard deviation for the areas under investigation including nAutre of the work, manage-ment stAuts and communications, job security, salary and rewards, promotion opportunities, physical condi-tions and working environment were 82.5 +/- 13.31, 65.3 +/- 17.52, 63.99 +/- 21.64, 61.8 +/- 20.9, 58.7 +/- 20.05, and 58.02 +/- 21.49, respectively, out of the total score of 100. Faculty members were well satisfied with their jobs. Their satisfaction about the nAutre of their work was desirable, and about management stAuts, job security, and salary and rewards, was partially desirable. They were less satisfied with promotion opportunities and physical conditions of working environ-ment. Taking faculty members welfare into consideration and revising promotion procedures could improve the current situation
