In this study, the "career" process has been discussed in the context of the career process of the academic staff responsible for producing the training and research services at faculties of education. The career process of academic staff means acquiring titles, promotions, and assignments from the initial stages of being a member of the academic staff to the highest levels of academic degrees. One of the issues that can be addressed in connection with the process of career is "job satisfaction." Job satisfaction has great importance in terms of obtaining more satisfaction for the employee as an individual, i.e., as a human being, from the point of producer and also in organizational terms. It is accepted that an increase in satisfaction level causes an increase in employee commitment to the organization; therefore, productivity increases in organizational terms. In this study, job satisfaction is associated with the academic career barriers from the perspective of the academic staff. This association aims to point out the career process and job satisfaction levels of the academic staff. The career processes of the academic staff (in particular, promotion and the assignment process) are questioned; their career conditions are organized; and an attempt is made to provide an increase in academic productivity. This becomes an important source of pressure on the academic staff. This study is associated with the relationship between job satisfaction among academic staff and the promotion and assignment process from this point of view.
