Abstract
This study aims to explore the determinants of job satisfaction among health workers at Yekatit
12 Hospital in Addis Ababa. It specifically tests the effects and relationships between compensation and benefits, work-life balance, job security, and work environment on job satisfaction. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, this research employs both explanatory and descriptive research designs. The target population consisted of 1,251 health workers, from which a sample size of 303 was selected. A distributed questionnaire yielded 303 responses, with 270 valid responses, resulting in a response rate of approximately 89%. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and inferential techniques, focusing on correlation and regression analysis to assess the relationships between variables. Reliability and validity tests were conducted to ensure the robustness of the findings. The analysis found medium positive correlations between compensation and benefits, work-life balance, job security, work environment, and job satisfaction. Regression analysis showed that each factor significantly contributes to job satisfaction, with compensation and benefits having the greatest impact. These findings underscore the importance of these factors in shaping job satisfaction among health workers. It is recommended that organizations implement regular salary reviews, enhance work-life balance policies, improve communication regarding job security, and foster a supportive work environment to boost overall employee satisfaction.
