Faculty Members’ Job Satisfaction and Their Innovative Teaching

One of the significant issues in organizations and working environments is useful human resource. The purpose of this cross-sectional research is to investigate the relationship between faculty member’s job satisfaction and work innovation at Bahrain Teachers College (BTC). Faculty members were asked to identify what they like about being employed at BTC and what factors affect their levels of job satisfaction. The sample consisted of 55 faculty members from BTC with a response rate of 89%. A questionnaire was developed and validated used to collect the data. The results showed that there are many things that faculty members like for being working at BTC, the most of which is teaching itself, followed by the working environment. They do not like bureaucracy of rules, policies and dealing with a lot of paper works. Some rrecommendations are presented in light of the findings with the hope that this research can help the university administrators to increase the satisfaction level.
