        abstract = {The study investigates the interrelationship between job stress, satisfaction, and demographic factors among university employees. The analysis reveals a significant and positive correlation between job stress and job satisfaction, indicating that any change in one factor is likely to affect the other. Demographic variables such as age and experience show a significant positive relationship with job satisfaction, while education exhibits a significant but negative association. Organizational position, however, shows no significant link with satisfaction. In terms of motivation, the demographic factors age, experience, education, and organizational position—do not demonstrate any statistically significant correlation. These findings align with existing literature and offer practical insights for university administration. By identifying and addressing the elements that influence employee satisfaction, the institution can enhance motivation levels, ultimately contributing to both personal fulfillment and organizational goal achievement. The study emphasizes the importance of strategic human resource practices that acknowledge the role of individual and environmental factors in shaping job outcomes.},
