Abstract

The study has been conducted to investigate the impact of time pressure and challenge appraisal on job satisfaction experienced by Pakistani university teachers in the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. It is the first study which has investigated the relationships between time pressure, challenge appraisal, and job satisfaction in the backdrop of a poly-chronic society and compared the findings with those of a study carried out in a mono-chronic society. Data were collected through a survey by administering questionnaires to the respondents. The findings reveal that Pakistani respondents experience a lesser level of time pressure when compared with the German respondents. Also, there has been lesser variability in time pressure of Pakistani respondents in comparison with the German respondents. The study also finds that, like their German counterparts, Pakistani university teachers consider time pressure as a challenge-related stress. The correlation between time pressure and challenge shows a lower degree of relationship in case of Pakistani respondents compared with a moderate degree for German respondents.
