Abstract:
Education is the main root of society. Personas responsible for making this root stronger are called teachers or academicians. The aim of this paper is to investigate the factors responsible for creating stress and job satisfaction among academicians. The most impactful factors found by most of the previous studies for building stress are insufficient salary, lack of respect, job insecurity, poor behaviour of co-workers and students, and lack of motivation among the academicians. Also, these factors if get improved can be the reasons for higher level job satisfaction as well as it may reduce the level of stress among academicians. The researchers claimed work environment, pay and amenities, top management leadership, workload, and level of fairness in the organization as the important motivator toward job satisfaction of academicians. The factors influencing stress and job satisfaction are correlated. If the reasons for work stress can match the desire it can be the reasons for job satisfaction. The study also recommends some strategies for academicians and management to manage stress and improve job satisfaction among academicians.
