| Summary: | The universities in Malaysia indirectly contribute to the nation's future development
by developing a pool of professionally educated and trained employees. In general, it
is undeniable that the role of lecturers is really important in producing a quality
graduate who will in turn brings up the nation ahead since the educated graduates are
the assets of one country. Therefore, the main purpose of the study is to investigate
certain factors influencing on job satisfaction namely workload, work-place
environmenf relationship with colleagues, management style, promotional
opportunities and remuneration using Covariance-Based Structural Equation
Modeling (CB-SEM) and Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLSSEM),
This study used self administered questionnaires which were distributed to
245 lecturers from Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM). This study found
that workload, relationship with colleagues, management style and remuneration
were significantly affect job satisfaction of lecturers using CB-SEM. Meanwhile, the
factor of workload, relationship with colleagues, promotional opportunities and
remuneration were significantly affect job satisfaction of lecturers using PLS-SEM.
Overall, the PLS-SEM was more reliable and valid method for modeling job
satisfaction among lecturers in UTHM since the factor loading and Average Variance
Extracted values during Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were higher than CBSEM. |
