Abstract

This pilot study aimed to explore the job satisfaction level among lecturers in Malaysian public universities. The method of determining sample size for a finite population suggested by Krejcie and Morgan's (1970) was used to select 60 respondents who participated in a structured questionnaire survey. A descriptive analysis provided initial insight into the factors influencing a lecturer’s job satisfaction, which presents a foundational perspective for comprehensive future studies. The descriptive analysis helped identify key factors contributing to job satisfaction and areas where improvements may be needed. The study underscores the importance of examining a lecturer’s job satisfaction in the public university context, as a lecturer’s role in higher education institutions is critical for the success and quality of education.Findings indicate a coefficient of 0.885, reaffirming the reliability of the measurement instrument. The Cronbach's Alpha values obtained in this pilot study under scored the reliability of the measurement instrument employed to assess work-life balance in a Malaysian public university context. The high internal consistency of the items provides a solid foundation for future investigations into this crucial aspect of employee well-being. This pilot study serves as a foundational step for future research that can delve deeper into the nuances of a lecturer’s job satisfaction, potentially leading to policy and institutional changes that enhance the overall well-being and performance of academic staff in public universities.
