A total of 323 respondents from Khulna city were selected through simple random sampling and surveyed using a semi-structured questionnaire during the period of July 2018 to August 2018. The relationship of job satisfaction with sociodemographic and work related factors were examined through bivariate analyses (Chi-square tests) to explore possible link between job satisfaction and the selected variables. Results indicate that among the sociodemographic characteristics, respondents’ age, education, number of family members, length of service, nature of job, salary, affiliation with present organization and current designation were significantly associated with the level of job satisfaction (p<0.01).
