Job Satisfaction As A Function Of Demographic Variables: An Examination Of The Relationship Among Clergy
Abstract
The purpose of this descriptive-correlational study is to determine the relationship between demographic characteristics of clergy and their overall level of job satisfaction. The demographic factors investigated are gender, age, education, length of service, salary and district size. A slightly modified version of the Brayfield-Rothe's (1951) Job Satisfaction Index and Demographic Data Sheet were sent to 117 full time clergy of the Global Evangelical Church (Ghana). Based on 96 usable responses, it was found that with the exception of education which did not correlate with job satisfaction, the selected demographic factors
had small positive or negative correlation with job satisfaction but in all cases, the relationship was not statistically significant. The significance of the relationships was determined by setting them against a critical alpha (significance) level p<.05.
