This research aimed to study the relationship between open-mindedness and job satisfaction among university employees in Jeddah. The goal is to identify the nature of the correlation and predictive relationship between these two variables and to reveal differences among the sample members based on demographic variables (academic qualification, job grade, and years of experience). The study adopted a descriptive correlational design, deemed most suitable for its objectives. A standardized questionnaire consisting of two main measurings was used: the first measuring open-mindedness, and the second measuring job satisfaction. The study sample comprised 110 male and female employees working in public and private university institutions in Jeddah. Statistical analysis revealed the following: A strong and statistically significant positive correlation was found between open-mindedness and job satisfaction (r = 0.673, p < 0.001). The study revealed that open-mindedness is a strong predictor of job satisfaction, explaining 45.3% of the variance in job satisfaction. Statistically significant differences were found in both open-mindedness and job satisfaction based on years of experience and job title, favoring those with more experience and university professors. Based on these findings, the study recommends fostering a culture of open-mindedness in higher education institutions, encouraging creativity and acceptance of change, improving the work environment, and recognizing efforts to contribute to increased job satisfaction and improved overall performance.
