In October 1975 a questionnaire was sent to 200 members randomly selected from the "Directory of Faculty Members Teaching in the Field of Higher Education" to determine satisfaction with their teaching role. The research was designed to test Herzberg's theory, which states that "hygiene factors" (job context) are related to dissatisfaction while motivator factors (job content) contribute to satisfaction. The results demonstrate that different factors contribute to satisfaction and dissatisfaction. The hygiene factors of policies and practices, salary budgets, supervision and technical factors, and the time element were strong contributors to dissatisfaction. The motivators of achievement, recognition, and growth opportunities were highly associated with satisfying teaching experiences. The hygiene factor of interpersonal relations with students and the motivators of responsibility and advancement acted in the direction opposite to that predicted according to Herzberg's theory. Further analyses and caveats are discussed. (Author/MSE)
