Abstract:
This Research was conducted to identify the factors affecting Job Satisfaction
of Grade III officers of Sri Lanka Administrative Service (SLAS), to identify the
level of satisfaction and suggest methods to increase their Job Satisfaction.
Primary Data were gathered by a Questionnaire Survey and Structured
interviews. The data were summarized using descriptive statistics and through
correlation and regression analysis the factors affecting Job Satisfaction of
Grade III officers of SLAS were identified.
It was found that Demographic Variables and Pay, Promotion, Supervision,
Fringe Benefits and Contingent Rewards are the determinants of Job
Satisfaction of the target population. Further it was suggested that increasing
the Base Pay, introducing a performance based promotion scheme, fair
distribution of training opportunities and granting transport facilities will
increase the level of Job Satisfaction.
