The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of socio-cultural status, demographics, economical-livelihood and quality of life of staffs on their job satisfaction in Sarem women’s hospital, Tehran, Iran.
Materials & Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on staffs from Sarem women’s hospital in 2014. The information of the staffs (n=200) was obtained by census method and reviewing their documents. A standard job satisfaction questionnaire was used to collect the information. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22 software by Pearson correlation coefficient.

There were significant correlations between the overall scores of the socio-cultural factors and demographics with job satisfaction (p<0.05), while no significant correlations were found between the overall score of the economic-livelihood status and quality of life of the personnel with their job satisfaction (p>0.05).
