The aim of this study is to examine the difference between male and female instructors’ job satisfaction and to investigate the predict level of job satisfaction by Type-A personality traits and gender. 308 instructors (116 female and 192 male) with various titles working at different universities participated in this study. The data were collected through Type-A Personality Scale, Job Satisfaction Scale, and Personal Data Form. Independent t-test, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression techniques were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that there was no significant difference between male and female instructors’ scores on job satisfaction. Scores on moving away from social activities and importance attributed to timing that are sub-dimensions of Type-A Personality Scale, were significant predictors of job satisfaction. According to these results, whereas scores of moving away from social activities of participants increase, job satisfaction decreases. Additionally, scores of importance attributed to timing increases, as job satisfaction increases.
