abstract

This study attempts to establish the relationships that exist between the different variables of organizational climate and job satisfaction among academic staff in some selected private Universities in SouthWest Nigeria, to ascertain related factors in organizational climate that can cause dissatisfaction among academics; and to determine if there is a significant difference in the way senior academics and junior academics perceive the existing organizational climate. A total of 384 copies of questionnaires were administered to selected five (5) private Universities in the South-West Zone of Nigeria but a total of 293 questionnaires were returned fully and appropriately filled. The study made use of appropriate statistics such as measurement model (Confirmatory Factor Analysis) and Multiple Regression to obtain results.

 Experimental design, materials and methods

The evolving competition in the higher education environment in Nigeria brought about by increase in the number of new Universities has necessitated the need for good organisational climate that will enable these Universities retain their best employees. Reports by NUC (2008) revealed that though Universities are increasing, yet the number of qualified teachers is not increasing proportionately. Thus, surveys are necessary to establish the relationships that exists between the different variables of organisational climate and job satisfaction among academic staff of selected private Universities in Southwest Nigeria. Out of 384 copies of questionnaire administered, only 293 copies of questionnaires were returned representing 76.30%. Majority of the questions used were adapted with some modifications from a job satisfaction questionnaire by Lee (1987). Questionnaire for the study were sorted and those that were not properly filled were removed. To minimize errors, data from questionnaire were coded so as to pave way for editing of data before the use of SPSS-Statistical package for Social Sciences-software. For the purpose of efficiency and thoroughness two field assistants were recruited and trained. The training focused on the pertinent objectives and importance of the study, how to administer/conduct the study instruments and how to secure respondents’ informed consent.
