Workplace Equity and Job Satisfaction among Academic Staff in Western Uganda Universities

Abstract: Job satisfaction among academic staff in western Ugandan universities positively correlates with the level of workplace equity, employees’ participation in staff committees, and welfare. Every workplace is expected to be conducive to all employees. Employees in a secure and good workplace anticipate achieving high goals and objectives, for which an organisation is set and enshrined in its mission and vision. The article is reversed. The level of workplace equity is used to examine factors influencing workplace equity in universities, explore the impact of the workplace on employees' job satisfaction, and identify workplace equity strategies to enhance employee job satisfaction. The reviewed articles provided a standpoint view for the audience to understand the workplace, staff participation in staff academic staff, welfare and retention of employees. Herzberg's two-factor theory was significant in this review as descriptive surveys using both quantitative and qualitative methods were applied. The existing literature review identifies Herzberg's theory and practices of human resources management as having extensive knowledge for top managers in faculties, supervisors and policymakers to share and review at different levels of administration and management in Ugandan universities and beyond.
