Motivation and Hygienic Factors on Job Satisfaction among Academic Staff in UiTM Puncak Alam

The study examines factors influencing job satisfaction among UiTM Puncak Alam lecturers using Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory. Data were collected from 100 lecturers via structured questionnaires. Results show achievement and work nature are top motivators (mean = 4.33), while recognition is lowest (mean = 3.80). Among hygiene factors, peer relationships scored highest (mean = 4.33), and money lowest (mean = 3.59). Overall job satisfaction is high (mean = 4.11). Hygiene factors (r = 0.864) have a stronger correlation with satisfaction than motivators (r = 0.796). The findings can guide policies to improve job satisfaction and faculty retention.
