JOB SATISFACTION AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT BETWEEN ACADEMIC STAFF AND SUPPORTING STAFF (WOLAITA SODO UNIVERSITY ETHIOPIA AS A CASE)
The health of an educational institution depends on the job satisfaction of its employees. This research investigates the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment in terms of academic and supportive staff at Wolaita Sodo University. Job satisfaction has been defined as "a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of ones job or job experiences" (Locke, 1976: 1300). Organizational commitment is defined as "the relative strength of an individuals identification with and involvement in a particular organization" (Mowdey, Porter, and steers, 1982:27). It is commonly characterized by three factors: (1) Identifying with an organization and its goal and values (identification); (2) A strong desire to maintain investment with the organization (loyalty); and (3) Willingness to work extra hard on behalf of the organization (involvement).
