Abstract

The current study aims to explore the relationship between normal perfectionism, job satisfaction and self-efficacy among faculty members. The study sample consists of (200) members (134 males, and 66 females) with an age range between (26-67) years, wherein the demographic data form, the standard of perfectionism (prepared by the researcher), the job satisfaction scale (Fidaa Nasser & Essam Haider, 2014), and the Self-Effectiveness Scale (Kim & Park, 2000) are applied to the sample. The results of the study reveal that there is a positive correlation between normal perfectionism, job satisfaction and self-efficacy, whereas no correlations are shown between perfectionism and some dimensions of job satisfaction (e.g. satisfaction with salaries and social status). There are also statistically significant differences in normal perfectionism attributed to age, whereas no significant differences are found due to (sex, college, academic rank, or period of service at the university). In addition, there are differences in self-efficacy attributed to (college, age, and academic rank), whereas there are no differences attributed to (sex and period of service at the university). Further, there are differences in job satisfaction attributed to the academic rank, whereas there are no differences attributed to (sex, age, college, or period of service at the university). The results show the contribution of normal perfectionism and self-efficacy to job satisfaction at highly significant levels.
