A Study of Career Satisfaction Among Estate Surveyors and Valuers in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria

Abstract

This study surveyed a cross-section of sixty-five (65) estate surveyors and valuers in both public and private practice to determine their career satisfaction level. Twelve (12) test satisfaction statements were posed to the respondents through a questionnaire. The gathered data were analyzed using relative importance index. The study found that estate surveyors and valuers in public practice were unsatisfied with their career success, while those in private practice showed a higher career satisfaction level. The work advocated for improvement in working condition, income and development opportunities for estate surveyors and valuers in public practice and for improvement in the organizational structure of those in private practice.

Keywords: Satisfaction, Career, Estate Surveyors and Valuers, Private Practice, Public Practice.
