University teachers´ job satisfaction: The MUlti-criteria Satisfaction Analysis (MUSA) method

University teachers´ job satisfaction has a constructive role for raising the level of teaching and research, enhancing academic competitiveness, attracting and retaining talented people. In this study a MUlti-criteria Satisfaction Analysis (MUSA) method is employed to measure the university teachers´ job satisfaction in Sfax University. The basic principle of MUSA is the aggregation of individual judgments into a collective value function, assuming that university teachers´ global satisfaction depends on a set of criteria representing job characteristic dimensions.
