This article examines the influence of positive job feeling on job satisfaction among workers in Lagos State Ministries. A priori expectation is that positive job feeling has a correlation with job satisfaction among workers in Lagos State Ministries. The study sampled six ministries where a sample of four employee categories (Top Management staff, Senior Managers, Middle Lower Managers, and non-managerial employees) was made.

In conclusion, the article found that positive correlation exists between positive job feelings and job satisfaction among workers in Lagos state ministries, and recommended that factors of perceived fairness should be strengthened as it promotes positive job feelings which in turn motivate job satisfaction.
