Abstract:

Organizational culture, compensation and satisfaction are hot issues in the field of management research. In this study, 451 teachers from three Chinese higher vocational colleges were selected as the participants of the study, and the relationship among organizational culture integration, teacher salary and job satisfaction was analyzed by using questionnaires related to organizational culture integration, teacher salary and job satisfaction in higher vocational colleges. The study found that most of the respondents were male, between the ages of 31 and 40, with a bachelor’s degree, and most of them had taught for between 6 and 10 years. Respondents broadly agreed on all indicators in the three dimensions of organizational culture integration, teacher compensation, and teacher satisfaction. When grouped according to personal data, individuals with different ages, education levels and years of teaching service have significant differences in their perception of organizational culture integration in higher education. The highest education level affected the staff’s perception of salary incentive effect, and personal information such as age and education level affected the teachers’ job satisfaction in specific dimensions such as policy management and working environment.  Through the study of the relationship between the three variables, the conclusion was drawn. The better the integration of organizational culture, the better the salary of teachers. The better the organizational culture integration, the higher the employee satisfaction. The higher the salary of teachers, the higher the satisfaction of teachers. There was a significant relationship between organizational culture integration, teacher salary and teacher job satisfaction. This paper also proposed a plan for the high quality management and development of higher vocational colleges and puts forward suggestions for the improvement of the high quality development of higher vocational colleges from the three dimensions of organizational culture integration, salary management and job satisfaction. This is of great practical significance to the development and promotion of higher vocational colleges and provides reference for the reform of vocational education.
