Assessment of job satisfaction of the employees and identifying the influential factors on their satisfaction/dissatisfaction seems to be vitally important. This research is intended to assess job satisfaction of the employees of FAVA of the army and to identify the factors most influencing it. The factors influencing on job satisfaction are classified into four groups, including individual, organizational, environmental and job nature factors. Satisfaction is also classified into four groups including colleagues and principals, the value of the work, salary or wage, and organizational conditions. The data is collected by two types of questionnaire on job satisfaction and influential factors. The reliability of the questionnaire turned out to be %82 and %79 respectively according to Cronbach alpha coefficient. The number of sample was calculated to be as much as 151 subjects. Instead of analyzing the data by descriptive statistics (mead, media, standard deviation and percentile) and inferential statistics, the researcher employed Smirnoff, Friedman, binomial for analyzing gaps and regression. The findings reveal that all four factors of work environment (2.74), individual factors (2.53), the nature of the work (2.53) and organizational factors were influential on the job satisfaction of FAVA employees. the results also indicated that the most important factor turned out to be satisfaction from the managers (%2.6), and the least important one was satisfaction from the organizational condition.
