Paper Abstract:
|
The purpose of the study is to examine IT professionals job satisfaction in a public Saudi Arabian organization. The study sample consisted of 44 employees. Employees job satisfactions were measured by the job satisfaction survey (JSS) instrument developed by Spector. The instrument assessed nine facets of job satisfaction: pay, promotion, supervision, fringe benefits, contingent rewards, operating procedures, co-workers, nature of the work and communication. IT professionals in the public organizations in Saudi Arabia were most satisfied with supervision, coworkers, and nature of work and less satisfied with the operating procedures, promotion, fringe benefits, and clarity of communication within the organization. These finding are in accordance with prior studies and can be particularly useful for providing a comparative and comprehensive understanding of job satisfaction in the IT profession. |
