This study surveyed the job satisfaction of employees in private tourism organizations in Osun State, Nigeria. The technique used in selecting two hundred and eighty six employees in the study area was achieved by using the multistage sampling method. Primary data were picked up on employees’ job satisfaction via a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and mean score were used for to analyse the data. Major employees’ intrinsic (motivator) factors identified were: responsibility (x̅ = 4.31), the work itself (x̅ = 4.15) and recognition (x̅ = 4.13) while major employees’ extrinsic (hygiene) factors identified were: security (x̅ = 4.2), quality of supervision (x̅ = 4.2) and relationship with peers (x̅ = 4.12). The result showed that there was a substantial difference (F = 15.973, p <0.05) in the job satisfaction of employees through the segments of the private tourism organizations.
