The present study was carried out in two Farm Universities of Karnataka state
viz; University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS), Bangalore with three campuses
namely Agricultural College, GKVK, Agricultural College, Hassan and Sericulture
College, Chintamani and University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS), Dharwad with
three campuses namely Agricultural College Dharwad, Forestry College, Sirsi and
Agricultural College, Hanumanamatti during 2014-15 to analyze the job perception,
job performance and job satisfaction of teachers. Data was collected from a sample of
90 teachers from UAS (B) and 90 teachers from UAS (D) comprising of Professors,
Associate Professors and Assistant Professors, using pre-tested questionnaire through
personal interview method. Standardized scales to measure job perception and job
satisfaction of teachers were developed and used in the study. 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. The ICAR and Universities’
authorities should ensurereducing the non-academic/clerical works, deputing to
pursue post-doctoral programme and providing LCD facility in all classrooms to
