Job satisfaction and its contributing factors are critical subjects to be surveyed in organizations. These assessments for health care workers are of great importance because they deal with patients and, on the other hand, this working group is in hard work category. This study aimed to determine the job satisfaction among personnel of teaching Hospitals in Tehran. In a descriptive analytical study on 420 hospital employees (53.3% male), a job satisfaction questionnaire including 40 questions in 10 different aspects, was utilized. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS software. Most subjects (46.5%) were in 30-39 years age group and had 10-19 years service record (48.5%). Overall, 71.9% of the respondents were dissatisfied with their jobs. The level of satisfaction about “payments and benefits” (90.4%) and “policy management” (90%) was lower than the other aspects. There was a significant lower satisfaction among women than men, nurses, official employees, personnel with upper education and individuals whose spouse had higher education. The results of our study emphasize on the need for more attention to increase the level of job satisfaction in Hospital employees which includes various areas, particularly the payments and benefits. https://biomedpharmajournal.org/vol7no1/staffs-job-satisfaction-survey-in-tehrans-teaching-hospitals/ Job Satisfaction Hospital Staff Teaching Hospital
