Abstract: Summary In this paper, we analyse some aspects of job satisfaction by means of a multilevel factor model, decomposing the factor structure into the graduate and degree programme components, using data from a survey on the 1998 graduates of the University of Florence. Due to the ordinal scale of the response variables, we adopt a multilevel factor model for ordinal variables. The results show that the factor structures at the graduate and study programme levels are not the same, although they are similar; the study programmes with extreme factor scores should be selected for a deeper investigation.
