Description The aim of this study is to examine the job satisfaction levels of scholars in state and foundation universities. For this purpose, a survey was conducted with 402 scholars employed in state and foundation universities in Istanbul. The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and the non-parametric hypothesis tests were applied to the data obtained. Two factors were defined as a result of the EFA and they were named as intrinsic satisfaction and extrinsic satisfaction. The Mann-Whitney U test was employed to assess whether there was any statistically significant difference between Generation X and Generation Y respondents with respect to extrinsic job satisfaction and intrinsic job satisfaction. The results of the analysis revealed that a statistically significant difference was identified between Generation X and Generation Y groups with respect to intrinsic job satisfaction. In addition, the Kruskal-Wallis H test was employed to assess whether there was any statistically significant difference between the academic title groups with respect to their extrinsic job satisfaction and intrinsic job satisfaction. The findings have shown that the statistical difference is only 0,05 with respect to the intrinsic job satisfaction factor among title groups.
