The research focused on job satisfaction among faculty members at the University of Liberia, Monrovia, Liberia. The objectives of the study included assessing the level of job satisfaction and dissatisfaction at the University of Liberia and identifying the factors of job dissatisfaction of the lecturers. The investigation was carried out using the quantitative approach. The respondents were given questionnaires as part of this. A wide range of diverse factors, such as impacts, attitudes, views, preferences, and behaviors, may be learned about using surveys. Surveys often offer a quite simple and effective way to acquire a lot of data (Graveter & Forzano, 2006). The major indicators used to do the assessment were based on the framework of the literature which will include: (1) the level of job satisfaction and dissatisfaction among the faculty members; (2) the factors responsible for the satisfaction and dissatisfaction. The researcher adopted a simple random sampling technique in selecting the required respondents for this research. It was found that job satisfaction is very poor among the members of the faculty of the University of Liberia and that the factors responsible for job dissatisfaction at the University of Liberia include low remuneration and poor general conditions as compared to those in administration and others in other sectors. It was recommended that the administration of the University of Liberia should increase the salaries of the faculty members in direct proportion to their qualifications and that the administration should improve the general working conditions of the faculty.
