The descriptive statistics was used to answer all questions raised for the study. The reasonable guesses were tested with the t-test statistics.  Lecturers' Job Satisfaction and Value Creation Questionnaire (LJSVCQ) were administered on the respondents by the researcher with two supporting persons. Results revealed business educators: male and female, married and single, were satisfied with job tenure, salary they earned. It also revealed business educators were satisfied with excellent compensation, training and development. Male do not differ with female business educators in their levels of job satisfaction.
