This study was conducted to determine the differences in Quality of Work Life and Job Satisfaction of Employees Working at Pekanbaru's LPTK (Teaching and Training Institutions).

The research approach used a comparative quantitative approach, involving 76 respondents. The data collection technique used a Likert scale. The collected data were analyzed using an Independent Sample t-test. The results show differences in the levels of Quality of Work Life and Job Satisfaction between LPTK employees working under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology and LPTK employees working under the auspices of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, specifically regarding their status and personnel system.
