Statistical analysis included the use of correlation and regression analysis. Results showed that from the dependent variables only age (r=.342), years of working experience in Vocational Training Institutes (r=.296), relationship with the administration (r=.699) and working conditions (r=.690) had a significant relationship with adults’ trainers’ job satisfaction (p<0.01). Furthermore regression analysis showed that relationship with the manager had the biggest prediction of trainers’ total job satisfaction at a percentage of 48.6% (r=.699, p<0.01), working conditions can predict trainers’ job satisfaction at a percentage of 47.7% (r=.690) and age and teaching experience can predict trainers’ total job satisfaction at a percentage of 20% (r=.014, p<0.05).
