The study was aimed at assessing the relationship that exist between some demographic factors and the job satisfaction level of Senior University Staff. A modified version of the Job Diagnostic Survey developed by Hackman and Oldham (1980) was distributed to 1535 Senior University staff in a descriptive corelational design study. The information gathered from 1243 respondents from Olabisi Onabanjo University and Osun State University in Nigeria was analysed using SPSS 13 showed some level of significant relationships between the job satisfaction constructs and the age and gender among the assessed demographic factors. The current position of the respondents was found to have a significant difference. There was difference in the response of Academic and professional & Technical Staff regarding how each group rated satisfaction with co-worker relations. Significant relationships were determined at the p < .05 level.
