influencing satisfaction, level of satisfaction, know the strengths and

factors have to be reinforced for maintaining the satisfaction levels.

infrastructure, leadership, student centered, safe/ hygienic environment
and high interpersonal relationships. The major weaknesses of the
university are lack of clear administrative policies/procedure,
communication gaps, low salary levels, feeling of job insecurity, lack of
facilities learning resource materials, and lack of extra-curricular
