In this study, a total of (n=385) psychologists responded to a survey to determine the relationship among different types of coping strategies according to a scale prepared by (Alshawi, 2010) and job satisfaction scale prepared by the researcher (Almoshawah, 2015).

Data were analyzed using correlational analysis along with one way ANOVA.

The findings indicated a significant correlation among coping strategies with positive factors of job satisfaction.

The results indicated that the coping strategies contributed to 17% of the total variance of human relations within the work system, 15% of the total variance of the conditions and work assignments, 14% of the total variance of self-growth job satisfaction, and 12% of the total variance of rewards and promotions.

The results showed no significant differences between the psychologist gender (a=0,05) on the scale of coping strategies, while the psychologist's years of experience and level of education were correlated with coping strategies.

Moreover, the results showed no significant differences between the psychologist's gender, level of education and years of experience (a=0,05) on the scale of job satisfaction.
