This article examines the relationship existing between employee welfare and job satisfaction among non-academic staff of universities in Ekiti State. Its specific objectives are to examine the relationship between housing facilities and identify the welfare areas the universities need to focus on for their employees. The study is a correlational one as it seeks to examine relationships between variables. As a result, only Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient was used alongside descriptive statistics like frequencies. Data was collected with the aid of close-ended questionnaires from a sample of 384 non-academic staff of universities in Ekiti State which was derived using Cochran’s (1963) formula. Simple random sampling technique was used to select sample members. Results show that a moderately positive relationship exists between employee welfare and job satisfaction and concludes that an increase in employee welfare will cause a corresponding increase in job satisfaction. The study further shows that housing facilities have a very weak positive correlation with job satisfaction and recommends that welfare areas like work-life balance, transportation and occupational safety should be focused on by the universities.
