Most of the academic staff members are moderately satisfied with their job, P-value=0.000 indicates there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at α=5% level of significance. Then there is a association between employees, ages and job satisfaction and P-value=0.000 indicates there is relationship between the level of job satisfaction and relationship of employees who work in college of Natural science.
