evaluate the degree of job satisfaction and related
variables among nurses employed at specific hospitals in
Mogadishu, Somalia.

was employed, and a sample of 120 nurses was included
in the study. The intended sample was chosen using a
straightforward random sampling procedure. Data were
gathered using a pre-tested, structured, self-
administered questionnaire including a work satisfaction
measure. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis

dissatisfaction with their work. Among the research
subjects; 45(37.5%) dissatisfied with payment (salary).
Regarding the options for pursuing a postgraduate
degree in nursing or additional education 40 (33.3%)
were dissatisfied. More than half of participants 75
(62.5%) were decided to resign from current
employment due to payment (salary) issues.
Conclusions
The nursing staff expressed dissatisfaction with
possibilities for professional growth, recognition, low

increased workload. It is recommended that actions be
taken to improve working conditions, pay, and human
