dc.description.abstractThe study was designed to investigate the causes and correlates of job satisfaction among business teachers in tertiary institutions in Nigeria, with the aim of determining how to influence, motivate and retain them while arresting their constant turnover from teaching to other areas in the industry or parastatals where the pasture is greener, and to aid knowledge in an area where research is scanty in terras of Nigerian situation. Ten components of job satisfaction and eight demographic variables were used for this investigation. A total of 700 randomly selected business teachers from 10 polytechnics and 10 universities in Nigeria constituted the sample and 413 subjects returned useable questionnaire for the data analysis. Using frequency scores, discriminant function analysis, one-way analysis of variance contingency tables, the data were analysed and based on the findings, it v/as concluded that business teachers showed satisfaction on all aspecrs of the scale in varying degrees. Satisfiers identified are Prospects, Recognition, Advancement and Growth opportunity, Social interaction. Administrative policies. Benefits and Job itself. They were dissatisfied with pay, working condition and supervision. Based on the findings the following recommendations were offered: 1. Interest and experience in work itself were found to be major determinants of satisfaction among Business teachers. It is recommended, therefore, that their recruitment should be from among those showing high interest in teaching. 2. They should be given clear goals in their jobs, minimum supervision and opportunity for maximum participation in curriculum design and development. 3. A legalised private practice would improve their professional and economic welfare and reduce the incidence of high turnover. 4. More Seminars, Conferences, Inservice training and similar staff development strategies would enhance their morale and professional commitment.en_US
