dc.description.abstract | This study surveys civil service employees and seeks to associate the level of education to job satisfaction in the public service in Malta. Hence, the primary objective is to analyse the relationship between job satisfaction, which is a ‘non-monetary benefit’, and other relevant independent variables, including educational attainment. The results indicate that the majority of the employment-related variables exert significant influences over job satisfaction and a strong and positive relationship exists between the satisfaction derived from the duties of the individual and overall employment satisfaction. Conversely, the lack of opportunities for advancement in the public service was a determining factor for the respondent’s dissatisfaction. Another result, which is somewhat controlversial, is that the job satisfaction and the level of education were found to be negatively related, although this relationship was not found to be statistically significant. | en_GB |
