Job satisfaction describes the level of an employee’s pleasure toward his job. As the business environment in which firms operate becomes competitive, the level of employee satisfaction takes on added importance. This study examines job satisfaction through questionnaires in three accounting professions groups; they are female accounting faculty, auditors in CPA firms, and corporate accountants. Respondents were asked a variety of questions on job satisfaction including salaries satisfaction, working environment satisfaction, promoting opportunities satisfaction, supporting resource satisfaction, co-workers interacting satisfaction and working achievement satisfaction. The main analyzing methods are t-test, ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance method. The result appears that the accounting faculty is the most satisfied group, and the auditors who work in CPA firms reveal the lowest job satisfaction. Besides, this study also examines the relationship between job satisfaction and several individual characteristics, and found some of them appear strong correlations with job satisfaction. These findings could be the benchmark to employers to measure the level of job satisfaction of their employees.
