Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study Job satisfaction is one of the academic concepts that have received worldwide attention in the field of management and other areas recently. There are various definitions of job satisfaction as mentioned, first of all, it can be defined as concerning one’s feeling or state of mind related with the work (Chughati & Perveen, 2013) and “an employee’s positive attitude towards the company, co-workers and, the job” (Sypniewska, 2013). Job satisfaction is a very important aspect of an employee’s well-being and has emotional, cognitive, and behavioral components (Saari & Judge, 2004). According to Kaplan (2008), cited in Zaim, et al, (2012) emotional aspect refers one’s feelings regarding the job, cognitive aspect refers one’s thoughts and beliefs regarding the job, and, behavioral component refers to people's actions with respect to the job. Employees, who are more productive and can stay longer on the job are said to have higher job satisfaction the implication is that, assessing employee job satisfaction of a given institution is very important to insure the success of that organization/ institution (Saiyadain, 2004, cited in Molla, 2015)
