Abstract
This research focuses to explore the factors affecting the faculty members’ job satisfaction and the
influence that the campus/division head has upon these factors in a Pakistani public university. To conduct
the research qualitative method has been used. The selected public university has 13 campuses/divisions.
Twenty-six faculty members, two from each campus/division, who had at least three years of working
experience with the present head (leader) in the current campus/division have been interviewed. The semistructured type of qualitative interview was adopted to generate comprehensive data. ‘Content analysis’
was employed to analyze the data. A range of factors was revealed from the data that were affecting the job
satisfaction of faculty members. Six main themes have been developed and the identified factors are
collated under these themes. The major themes include institutional factors, leader-related factors,
colleague-related factors, student-related factors, personal factors, and job-related factors. The faculty job
satisfaction factors related to the institution, leader, and job are influenced by the leader, whereas factors
related to colleagues, students, and faculty themselves are not influenced by the leader. Some suggestions
for the practice, policy, and future researchers are presented.
