This study explores the dynamics of employee job satisfaction in relation to work discipline, training, and work facilities within the Department of Population and Civil Registration of Asahan Regency. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research aims to understand employees’ lived experiences, perceptions, and meanings associated with the factors that shape their job satisfaction and influence their performance. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving purposively selected employees across different positions. The findings reveal that work discipline is perceived as a foundation for organizational order and fairness, contributing to a sense of responsibility and professional commitment. Training is viewed as a source of skill enhancement and career empowerment, fostering increased confidence and job satisfaction. Meanwhile, adequate work facilities play a crucial role in supporting task completion and reducing work-related stress. The interplay among these three aspects creates a holistic environment that affects employees’ motivation, emotional well-being, and performance outcomes. This study offers practical insights for improving human resource development strategies within public service institutions.
