Higher education systems have changed all over the world, but not all have changed in the same ways. The academic profession has a key role to play in producing the next generations of knowledge workers, and this task will be more readily achieved by a contented academic workforce working within well-resourced teaching and research institutions.

"This book, on academic job satisfaction across 11 higher education systems, makes a valuable addition to Springer's Changing Academy book series, which itself is proving to be highly informative in explaining the changing nature of the academic profession. ... The book will be important as a point of reference for future investigations of academic job satisfaction. ... the book makes a solid contribution to the literature." (Martin Hayden, Higher Education, Vol. 69, 2015)
