This paper have been produced and developed to study the factors affecting job satisfaction of university faculty members. Various concepts and sometimes conflicting views have been formed and developed concerning the definition of __ampersandsignldquo;job satisfaction__ampersandsignrdquo;. Some experts such as Herzberg believes that it has two dimensions: one group is the factors and conditions that their absence may lead to dissatisfaction; however, they do not cause a strong motivation if provided, but only prevents the occurrence of dissatisfaction, that is the health factors or the ones influencing in maintaining the status quo or survival factor. According to Herzberg, these factors include: staff attitudes and perceptions, methods of administration, organization policies, nature and extent of supervision, job security, working conditions, status, salary level, the establishment of bilateral relations, supervisors, homogeneous, subordinate staff?s personal life. The lack of these factors may lead staff to dissatisfaction to the extent that employees leave the organization and endanger its existence. Hence, Herzberg maintains that these factors are necessary to provide and maintain the organization?s health. The second factors are the ones affecting in creating motivation which are lead to individual?s motivation and satisfaction, but their absence only makes a poor satisfaction. Therefore, the absence of the second group factors is the same as not having attitude. According to Herzberg, the factors affecting in creating motivation are: business success, recognition and appreciation of the people and their work, job and career development, personal growth and the nature of one?s work are called motivational factors.
