Although attendance levels at American colleges and uni versities are near all time highs in 1990, the drop out rate is also near an all time high. Many factors have been implicated in the student drop out rate; however, prominently mentioned among these factors are the levels of satisfaction and dis satsfaction among students, with respect to their position as students.
The National Organization of Business, whose members have a vital stake in the academic success of today's college and university students, are interested in assessing the levels of student satisfaction and dissatisfaction. To this end, the organization has commissioned an effort to measure the levels of student satisfaction and dissatisfaction through the appli cation of an instrument designed to measure job satisfaction and dissatisfaction levels among workers in organizations.
The results indicated that none of the students included in the sample were clearly dissatisfied with their role as a student. This finding appears to defy reality. Thus, it wasconcluded that the use of a job satisfaction measuring instru ment is not entirely suitable for use in measuring levels of student satisfaction and dissatisfaction. It is, therefore, recommended that additional research be performed in an effort to establish an effective measuring instrument for levels of student satisfaction and dissatisfaction.
