Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) questionnaire containing nine facets of job satisfaction and a questionnaire containing three items for measuring job satisfaction and turnover intention respectively were used for data collection from private sector colleges' lecturers of NWFP. 212 questionnaires were completed and returned. Pearson Correlation and Multiple Regression tests were used to test the hypothesis. Result shows that Lecturers of private sector colleges of NWFP are very much dissatisfied with promotion chances. They are moderately dissatisfied with three facets of job satisfaction: Pay, Fringe benefits and contingent rewards while moderately satisfied with operating condition, coworkers, nature of work and communication. Overall job satisfaction of private sector colleges' lecturers is 3.36 with standard deviation of .71 that can be interpreted as slightly dissatisfied.
