University of Illinois Employeees Job Satisfaction Study.
Illinois Univ., Champaign. Bureau of Institutional Research.
During the spring of 1974, 2,048 employees at the University of Illinois (976 at Urbana-Champaign, 490 at Chicago Circle, and 582 at Medical Center) were surveyed by mail and telephone to determine their degree of satisfaction with a number of job-related factors. Academic and nonacademic groups were represented. The results indicated that there are differences in the way the university's employees feel about their job situations. There are also distinctions in job satisfaction between academic and nonacademic employees and within each of these groups. Employees as a whole are well satisfied with the following factors: the work itself; co-workers; the feeling of being liked, respected, and needed; the boss; opportunities to use and improve one's skills and training; opportunities to control how the job is done; availability of needed supporting services, supplies, and equipment; and job-related information received. The lowest level of satisfaction involved: opportunities for promotion and promotional advancement; prospects for a comfortable retirement; earnings and prospects for financial security; and chances of bringing about needed changes in one's unit.
