JOB SATISFACTION AND WORK ETHICS: A COMPARISON BETWEEN A SOUTH AFRICAN AND A ZIMBABWEAN GROUP

Published Article / The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between job
satisfaction and work ethics using participants from a South African and
Zimbabwean University. 200 participants took part in the study. 60 academic
and 40 non-academic members of staff were randomly drawn from each of two
universities, one form each country. Significant correlations were reported
between overall satisfaction and having a lot of money and investing it, working
like a slave at everything one does until satisfaction, hard and succeeding, life
meaningfulness and leisure time, leisure time interesting than work, and
learning better on the job by striking out boldly on their own than by following the
advice of others. Overall, a comparison between the South African and
Zimbabwean group showed that the two groups differ on 25 out of the 65
variables with the South African group exhibiting higher mean scores.
