The study attempted to answer the following two questions: (1) What is the Level of job satisfaction for faculty members teaching at the engineering colleges at Al-Balqa' Applied University, and (2) are there any statistically significant differences at the significance level of (alfa 0.05) related to the fevel of job satisfaction that could be due to job experience, qualification, or academic rank? To answer these questions, the overall means, averages, and percentages were used in the calculation process.
