The study's goal is to investigate empirically the effects of salary differences on employee job satisfaction in Palestinian public sector organizations. Data was collected from various job categories of the general personnel council, the judiciary, and diplomats using the stratified random sampling technique. A quantitative method for answering the central question of the effect of salary differences in the public sector on job satisfaction levels. Adams, Maslow, Herzberg, the Job Characteristics Model (JCM), and the dispositional approach theory were proposed as traditional theories of job satisfaction. A total of 180 questionnaires were distributed in addition to a comprehensive review of the literature. The questions regarding the characteristics of salary differences inquired about fairness, regular pay and structure, benefits, and salary increases. To answer the questions about overall job satisfaction, respondents had to rate how much they liked or disliked their jobs. With categorized features, ANOVA or a t-test was used, and the model is significant. Job satisfaction increases as salary gaps close, according to a linear regression analysis, which explains about 68 percent of the variations. The workers with the highest slay were the happiest. These results can be used as baseline information for pay and job satisfaction to ensure efficient management of public administration. According to the research, there are differences in job satisfaction and salary satisfaction that are positively correlated. Increased efforts should be made in the public sector to improve job satisfaction. Salary disparities should be reduced by the government. It should be considered to create a unified salary system for all employees, with the job as the primary criterion rather than scientific specialization. As a result, it is possible to conclude that this study is valuable for salary structure governance.
