Background of the Study
Job satisfaction is a critical factor influencing the performance, retention, and well-being of healthcare workers. Satisfied employees are more likely to provide high-quality care, remain committed to their work, and experience lower levels of stress and burnout. However, in Nigeria’s healthcare sector, job dissatisfaction is a common challenge due to factors such as inadequate salaries, poor working conditions, lack of career growth opportunities, and security concerns.
Borno State, which has experienced prolonged conflict and insecurity, presents unique challenges for healthcare workers. Many medical professionals in the state face harsh working conditions, threats to personal safety, and resource shortages. These factors contribute to low morale, high staff turnover, and reduced healthcare service efficiency.
This study seeks to evaluate the level of job satisfaction among healthcare workers in Borno State, identifying key determinants and proposing measures to improve their working conditions.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the essential role healthcare workers play, many in Borno State express dissatisfaction with their jobs due to low pay, inadequate infrastructure, and security risks. High rates of burnout and migration of skilled personnel to other states or countries further exacerbate healthcare service challenges.
If job dissatisfaction is not addressed, the healthcare system in Borno State may face continued workforce shortages and declining service quality. This study aims to evaluate the key factors affecting job satisfaction and recommend strategies for improvement.
