LECTURER’S JOB SATISFACTION AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT IN HIGHEREDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION IN SHEN ZHEN PROVINCE IN CHINA

Abstract

Job satisfaction plays an important role for HEI instructors. High work pressure and job stress have a huge impact on a lecturer's physical and mental health. This includes withdrawal behaviors such as constant anxiety, inactivity or inefficiency at work, low organizational citizenship behavior and frequent absenteeism, which ultimately lead to resignation or departure from the teaching profession. The role of the lecturer represents a difficult trend, not only because of changes in the social aspects of the community, but also because of changes in the national education system and changes in assessment standards. Lecturers are under increasing pressure to work due to high expectations from parents, disciplinary issues from students, automatic leadership, and the influence of outside factors and a permissive community. All of these factors call for a greater role for lecturers.
