dc.description.abstractJob satisfaction of medical personnel continues to be one of the key factors influencing the performance of the health sector worldwide. This is why the idea of job satisfaction has been discussed widely and yet draws more attention nevertheless. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting job satisfaction of medical personnel in Uganda; a case of Uganda Martyrs Hospital Lubaga. The study was guided by the following research objectives: To establish how working conditions influence job satisfaction of medical personnel in Uganda; To assess how health workers’ job descriptions influence job satisfaction of medical personnel in Uganda; To determine how remuneration influences job satisfaction of medical personnel in Uganda; and to uncover the influence of opportunity for personal advancement on job satisfaction of medical personnel in Uganda. The target population was 373 medical personnel employed at UMHL. The sample size was 193 medical personnel of whom 124 participated giving a response rate of 66.32%. Data for the study was gathered by using a self-administered hard copy and online questionnaire pertaining to job satisfaction. By ANOVA, the study discovered that both working conditions and job description significantly affected job satisfaction of medical personnel (p=0.000<0.05). Also, the study found that both remuneration and opportunities for personal advancement did not significantly affect job satisfaction of medical personnel (p-values>0.05). The study concluded that there is a relationship between working conditions and job satisfaction of medical personnel in Uganda and that there is a relationship between job description and job satisfaction of medical personnel in Uganda. The study also deducted that remuneration does not affect job satisfaction of medical personnel in Uganda and that opportunities for personal advancement do not affect job satisfaction of medical personnel in Uganda. The study recommended that the hospital’s management needs to ensure that the good working conditions become better and to encourage supervisors to provide timely constructive feedback to their subordinates. The supervisors should ensure additional tasks assigned to their supervisees conform to their individual skills and competences. Further, management needs to find ways to identify and award medical personnel who excel in performance and to increase salary of medical personnel in the long run. Management also needs to ensure that medical personnel are notified about vacancies for promotion.en_US
