The sample size was 120 individuals, calculated by ratio categorical sampling and Morgan Table. Study tools consisted of a questionnaire whose validity was approved based on the assessment of a number of experienced lecturer and experts. Its reliability was measured after distributing 120 questionnaires and analyzing the collected data. The reliability was 0.961, indicating appropriateness.

Findings demonstrate that among organizational climate aspects, organizational encouragement has the highest positive relationship and significance with job satisfaction (β=0.422 and p<0.0001). Other aspects had also a positive relationship with job satisfaction but these relationships didn't appear to be significant. The findings reveal that management encouragement does not have a positive relationship with job satisfaction.
