Abstract
The study was conducted on employees of Oromia cooperative promotion offices, and it was delimited to the head and zonal offices. Based on the literature, three variables (the work itself, payment, and promotion) were considered as major determinants of job satisfaction. And the main purpose of the study was to examine whether or not these variables contribute to a significant extent in explaining employees’ job satisfaction. Moreover the relationship between demographic variables and overall and specific job satisfaction were investigated. To examine the basic questions mentioned in chapter one, questionnaires were developed. Before such questionnaires were administered for the main study, a pilot study had been conducted on employees of Region 14 cooperative promotion bureau. Through the pilot study, the reliability coefficients of the instruments were computed by the split-half method, and discrimination power of every item was calculated. Then, based on the feedback, some reconstructions were made on some items to improve 64 clarity. Some items were modified and retained while less effective once were discarded. After testing the questionnaire in the pilot study, a six-page questionnaire was developed for the main study and distributed to the employees working at the head office and selected zonal offices. Based on the data collected, each basic question was examined. A comparison of means were applied to investigate gender difference, marital status difference, occupational status difference and salary level difference with respect to overall job satisfaction and satisfaction with specific aspects of a job (the work itself, payment, and promotional opportunities) and the t-test was used to check whether or not the differences were significant. Moreover, to examine age subgroups difference and educational level subgroups differences on overall job satisfaction, one-way ANOVA was utilized. Finally, multiple regression analysis was computed to examine the combined and independent contributions of the three-predictor variables (the work itself, payment, and promotional opportunities) on overall job satisfaction.
