Bosnia and Hercegovina (BiH) has endured a difficult transition from a socialist regime to a market economy following the disintegration of Yugoslavia in the early 1990’s. BiH’s higher education sector, in particular, has been adversely affected by this transition. This study sought to understand the reality on the ground by examining job satisfaction among faculty employed at the University of Sarajevo (UNSA). Studying job satisfaction among UNSA academics can provide us with an idea of overall fit between them and BiH’s higher education institutions. Identification of job satisfaction levels among UNSA faculty can subsequently reveal the extent of faculty (non)participation in their institutions, which is crucial if BiH’s higher education system is to continue engaging in meaningful reform to meet the challenges facing the nation and the region.
