摘要
This study examined the age-job satisfaction relationship in higher education. The study instrument used was the short form Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) which measures overall job satisfaction, intrinsic satisfaction, and extrinsic satisfaction using 20 facets of the job. The instrument was personally administered to the respondents. The population for the study consisted of academics in North Cyprus. The results show that the job satisfaction levels of the older age groups of academics are on the whole higher than the younger age groups. Overall job satisfaction and extrinsic satisfaction do not seem to indicate a linear relationship with age, with overall job satisfaction and extrinsic satisfaction levels varying for different age groups.
