Job satisfactions of academics in Malaysian public universities

Abstract

The paper describes a proposed study to examine the relationships between job satisfactions, organisational support, academics-employer relations and organisational citizenship behaviour. This study hypothesizes perceived organisational supports and academics-employer relations as antecedents; and organisational citizenship behaviour as consequences of job satisfactions among academics in Malaysian public universities. Data will be collected through self-administered questionnaire which will be distributed to a sample of academics in five Malaysian public research universities. The study will contribute to knowledge by looking at the relationships in the context of Malaysian higher education sector, something which has largely been ignored at present
