Abstract: The objective of this research was to analyze the levels of satisfaction in the substantive functions: teaching, research and extension of University of the Guajira-Colombia faculty. The study is based on theories of authors such as Maslow, Herzberg, Adelfer Mc Clelland and others. The research is descriptive, based on a quantitative approach. The results show that levels of satisfaction in teaching activities generate dissatisfaction factors such as library resources, educational aids, spaces for teacher performance, adequacy of physical space, academic assignment, work schedule, provision of physical space, recognition and training. Also evident in the research are factors that cause dissatisfaction, such as internal paperwork, awards and recognition, availability and provision of physical space, training, and reduction of class hours. Similarly there are factors causing extension activities dissatisfaction such as internal paperwork, transfers to national and international events, community work and awards and recognition. Finally, we conclude that there are several factors that affect levels of satisfaction in the activities of teaching, research and extension which cause dissatisfaction among teachers of University of La Guajira.
