dc.description.abstract This paper aims to investigate the differences of job related variables: job satisfaction, organizational commitment, job stress and intention to quit, between temporary and permanent academics in Sri Lanka. Further, the gender differences with respects to job related outcome variable also explored. Data were collected using self reported questionnaire from 142 academics in University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka. Males (n=63) and females (N=79) were almost equally represented in the sample and academics from three faculties were considered for the study. Survey results revealed that there are no significant differences among jobs related variables between temporary and permanent academics except for intention to quit. Further, it was found that there is no significant differences between male and female academics with regards to the entire four job related variables tested in the study. Few empirical researches have been conducted on this aspect in Sri Lankan context. Findings of the study would be important for university administrators in making policy decision for motivating and recruiting temporary academics. en_US
