The study was conducted by taking a sample of 105 managers, supervisors, and employees of public/government sector organizations in Saudi Arabia. Questionnaires are employed for data collection purposes and the processing of data SPSS software has been used. The findings of this study demonstrate that salary has a big impact on job satisfaction. Most of the related studies have focused on various internal and external factors related to jobs that influence job satisfaction. In this study compensation, pay, and its impact on job satisfaction are being tried to measure.
