The purpose of this study was to determine the level of job satisfaction among the faculty of an State University in the Philippines and its relationship with some variables. A survey-based descriptive correlational research design was utilized. A 50-item questionnaire was distributed to 31 faculty members which covered the following domains: administrative policies, organizational environment, support, benefits and rewards, and intrinsic motivation. These were distributed in March 2022 employing diverse modes of communication such as in person, Google platforms, and other online media. Correlation and post hoc analyses were utilized in conforming to the research hypotheses. The result indicated that the faculty were highly satisfied with their job and that academic rank and number of awards are positively related with it, while number of local designation and other work assignments are negatively correlated with job satisfaction. The focus of the study were the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences considering that it is the service college of the University. Faculty are among the major components of the educative process and they serve as potent catalysts for responsive transformation of society and one of the most important information to have, regarding an employee in an organization is a validated measure of his/her level of job satisfaction (Roznowski and Hulin 1992). This is vital to the University, since there is no updated study along this. Moreover, this would be very useful for management to develop work environment that would allow higher level of faculty job satisfaction, so as to achieve institutional objectives.
