Abstract
Studies on non-financial rewards are scarce among state university academics of Sri Lanka. Therefore, we aim to describe the association between non-financial rewards and job satisfaction. An online survey was conducted to collect data on demography, non-financial reward, and job satisfaction. Binary logistic regression was performed to determine the significant association between variables of interest and job satisfaction (P <0.05). A total of 4675 emails were sent and 309 entries were included in the final analysis. Overall, 54.4% scored ≥75 out of 100 for job satisfaction. Recognition by the university for the contribution to the university [OR = 3.3 (95% CI 1.5-7.2)], responsibilities held as a teacher in the university [OR = 6.5 (95% CI 1.8-23.6)] and involvement of the academic in decision-making by the university management [OR = 2.4 (95% CI 1.0-5.5)] were the non-financial rewards significantly associated with job satisfaction. Thus, authorities could focus on enhancing such rewards.
