Summary:In recent decades, the study of employees at work has been increasingly concerned with their level of satisfaction and the factors that contribute to this satisfaction. However, the difference in the level of satisfaction between male and female workers has received limited attention. This study attempts to assess the level of job satisfaction among Saudi male and female employed in the private and government sectors. A questionnaire was designed for this study and distributed in the three main regions in the Kingdom in private companies as well as governmental agencies. A random sample of 1000 employees completed the survey. Promotion and compensation were found among the most important factors of dissatisfaction among the Saudi employees.
