Job satisfaction is an important factor that influences employee performance and service quality. This study analyzes the effect of organizational culture, transformational leadership, burnout, and employee engagement on the job satisfaction of employees at the Water Resources Management and Spatial Planning Office of Brebes Regency. The study uses a quantitative survey method. The population of 91 employees was sampled using the saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using validity, reliability, classical assumption, multiple linear regression, t, F, and coefficient of determination (R²) tests. The results show that organizational culture, transformational leadership, and employee engagement have a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction, while burnout has a negative and significant effect. Simultaneously, all independent variables significantly affect job satisfaction, with an R Square of 0.534, indicating that the model explains 53.4% of the variation in job satisfaction. Organizations therefore need to strengthen work culture, apply transformational leadership, manage burnout, and increase employee engagement to improve employee job satisfaction.
