study is therefore an attempt to examine factors affecting the degree of job
satisfaction and dissatisfaction of business instructors. More specifically. it is
designed to 1) examine in detail instructors' extent of job satisfactlon inline with
F.Herzberg two factors theory. 2) asses factors' upon which instructors are highly
impinged, and 3) asses instructors' extent of job satisfaction and dissatisfaction
in comparing governmental Universities and private colleges so that concerned
bodies may get an insight to react on. Participants of the study included all
voluntary business instructors from both Addis Ababa and Jimma Universities
and randomly selected private colleges~ The items in the self-governing
questionnaire were rated using a five-point likerl scale from v~ry satisfied to very
dissatisfied. The researcher gathered data and analysis was carried out using
descriptive and other inferential statistical techniques. The result was expected
to suggest that instructors are better satisfied with Herzberg's intrinsic dimension
and dissatisfied with extrinsic dimension of job satisfaction. Yet the result
portrays that one dimension is not better than the other
