Abstract	This study examined aspects of academics' satisfaction with their job across the eight nations (Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Mexico, Sweden, UK, USA). Interesting patterns emerged across countries reflecting differences in the international academic climate. The study also explored patterns of job satisfaction and dissatisfaction more closely for the Australian data, and examined the impact of context elements, including working climate and atmosphere, on general levels of job satisfaction. Results indicated that factors related to the environment in which academics work, including university atmosphere, morale, sense of community, and relationships with colleagues, are the greatest predictors of job satisfaction. Implications for university management and governing bodies are discussed. (DIPF/orig.abstract)
