Job satisfaction, which is defined as the satisfaction that people feel from their jobs, is the whole of general attitudes and behaviors that show the peace and comfort of individuals towards working life. The job satisfaction of employees who want to get paid for their work and carry out their duties in a harmonious environment is likely to be affected by the motivation that increases the desire of the employees to do business. In this study, it is aimed to examine whether the motivation levels of the employees have an effect on their job satisfaction. For this purpose, a survey was conducted with university students studying at a state university in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, and research data were obtained from 410 participants who participated in the survey. Frequency, correlation and regression analyzes were performed with the SPSS program with the data obtained as a result of the survey. As a result of the research, it was found that there is a positive relationship between the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation levels of the students studying in higher education and their job satisfaction.
