AB  - This study examines the relationships between pay, promotion, fringe benefits, working
condition, support of research, support of teaching, gender and job satisfaction of academic staff in
private universities in Malaysia. The required information was collected from 173 teaching staff who
were randomly selected from three universities. The regression results indicate that pay, promotion,
working condition and support of research have positive and significant effect on job satisfaction. On
the other hand fringe benefits and support of teaching have negative effect. The results of Mann-Whitney
U test also indicate that female staff are more satisfied than their counterpart.
