The study indicated that 38.89 per cent of UAS (B) teachers were found in high level of job perception category while 36.67 per cent of UAS (D) teachers were belonging to high level of job perception category. An equal number (36.68 %) of both UAS (B) and UAS (D) teachers found to be in high level of job performance category.Most of the UAS (B) teachers (40.01 %) had high level of job satisfaction whereas 38.88 per cent of UAS (D) teachers found to be in high level of job satisfaction. Findings showed that there were no significant differences in the mean job perception and job performance scores between Professor and Associate Professor and also between Associate Professor and Assistant Professor However, there were significant differences in the mean job perception and job performance scores between Professor and Assistant Professor, whereas no significant difference was found between all category of teachers with respect to the mean job satisfaction score. The study enunciated that education, job experience, training undergone, perceived workload, achievement motivation, aspiration, organizational climate, attitude towards organization, and awards/recognition received were significantly influencing and contributing to job perception and job satisfaction of teachers and the same variables except perceived workload have immensely contributed to the job performance of teachers. Teachers burdened with non-academic/clerical activities, lack of opportunities to pursue postdoctoral programme and lack of LCD facilities in classrooms were the common major problems faced by both UAS (B) and UAS (D) teachers.
