The logistic regression is used to check the impact of job satisfaction and job performance. The results of logistic regression showed a positive and significant relationship between job satisfaction and its various dimensions with job performance at different career positions. This means that job satisfaction through gratification in terms of job responsibility and tasks, pay, promotion/fringe benefits, work environment, supervision, co-workers, and technology has the ability to increase teacher’s performance irrespective of their career position at the university.

The study findings suggest that the respective institute should focus on improving these dimensions of job satisfaction. Further research is recommended to investigate the long-term impact of job satisfaction on job performance and the productivity of an organization.
