Effect of Manager Leadership Behavior and Demographical Factors on Job Satisfaction of Military Healthcare Personnel

Due to the importance of job satisfaction (JS)، this study attempted to examine factors involved in JS in military healthcare personnel in 2008. This study was carried out on 301 employees، 246 (%81. 7) female and 55 (%18. 3) male، working in a MSH selected using stratified sampling. Standardized JSS job satisfaction questionnaire، Burdens & Metzcus Leadership Behavior Description (LBD)، and a questionnaire checking demographical variables were used for data collection. Age، experience، work position، education، work shift، sex، marital status، and type of employment had statistically significant relationship with job satisfaction. In addition، there was a significant relationship between job satisfaction in managers and staff and their LBD، sex، and education. We can improve job satisfaction in employees by paying more attention to employees’ personality and salary.
