Psychological Well-Being and Its Relationship to Job Satisfaction among Employees of the Faculties of Arts and Science at Al-Asmarya Islamic University in Zliten

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between psychological well-being and job satisfaction among employees of the Faculties of Arts and Science at Al-Asmarya Islamic University, in light of the variables of gender, faculty, and years of experience. A simple random sample representing 20% of the population was selected, comprising 34 employees from both faculties. The study adopted the descriptive-analytical approach.The findings revealed that the level of psychological well-being among the participants was positive and relatively stable. The level of job satisfaction was found to be above average and characterized by a positive orientation, reflecting a stable work environment within the two faculties. Job satisfaction was primarily associated with the quality of interpersonal and professional relationships, whether with supervisors or colleagues.Furthermore, the results of the correlation analysis indicated a positive, direct relationship between psychological well-being and job satisfaction, suggesting that higher levels of job satisfaction contribute to enhancing employees’ psychological well-being. The study also found no statistically significant differences in the levels of psychological well-being or job satisfaction attributable to gender, years of experience, or the interaction between these variables.
