The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among the variables of housing satisfaction, life satisfaction, and job satisfaction of clergy and spouses employed by an Oklahoma religious organization. The sample (N=438 individuals representing 263 households) consisted of the clergy and their spouses, if applicable. A questionnaire was developed to assess housing, life, and job satisfaction. Results indicated that there are significant relationships among the variables of housing, life, and job satisfaction. Significant differences in cleric and spouse perceptions of satisfaction with housing were found. Specific areas of concern, such as decor, amount of storage, space, landscaping, and balance between work and home life, were identified as sources of dissatisfaction among households. With this knowledge, religious organizations, as well as other employers who provide housing for their employees, will be better equipped to improve overall satisfaction with housing, and in turn, to improve employee life and job satisfaction
