Comparative Analysis Of Employee Job Satisfaction In The Accounting Profession
Evaluating job satisfaction among accounting professionals is an increasingly important area of concern for employers, which strive to recruit and retain quality employees and to improve their competitive positions. This study examines the results of surveys of accounting graduates from two AACSB International accredited universities from 1980 to 2003. Respondents were asked a variety of questions on job satisfaction as it relates to many factors including profession, firm size, certification, age, sex, race, advanced degrees and parent education. The findings of this study on job satisfaction provide benchmarks upon which accounting firms can use to evaluate job satisfaction levels among their own employees.
