The main aim of this study was to verify the correlation between job satisfaction and work ability among college educators. A quantitative approach was carried out in a cross-sectional design. The study included 154 educators, among them 50.6% were male and 40.4% female, with mean age of 39.25 years. Data collection included three questionnaires: 1. Socio-demographic and functional data; 2. Job satisfaction scale; 3. Work Ability Index -WAI. Job satisfaction and WAI showed a significant statistically correlation (r=0.23, p<0.01). It can be conclude that the increase of job satisfaction can improve the educator’s work ability.
