Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Job satisfaction generally describes how satisfied a person is in carrying out their work. Job satisfaction can also be influenced by various factors such as competitive salaries, adequate staff numbers, a pleasant work environment, opportunities for growth and professionalism, reasonable workload, recognition by superiors, positive relationships with colleagues, autonomy at work, security. work, career advancement and fair rewards. This study aims to estimate the effect of age, a safe work environment and fair payment on the job satisfaction of health workers. Subjects and Method: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted using PRISMA guidelines and the PICO model. The articles used range from 2014 to 2023. Population = Health workers. Intervention=age range >30 years, safe work environment, fair pay. Comparison= age range <30 years, unsafe work environment, fair pay. Outcome = job satisfaction. Articles were collected from databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. The literature search used the keywords "Safety Environment or Conducive Environment" AND "Fair Salary" AND "Health Provider" AND "Job Satisfaction" AND "Cross Sectional". A total of 9 articles met the inclusion criteria for meta-analysis, and were further assessed using RevMan 5.3. Results: Meta-analysis with a cross-sectional study design of 9 primary study articles from Ethiopia and Myanmar showed that age over 30 years did not affect job satisfaction among health workers (aOR=1.00; 95% CI= 0.94 to 1.07; p= 0.940). A safe work environment (aOR= 1.23; 95% CI= 0.92 to 1.65; p= 0.160) can increase health workers' job satisfaction, but this increase is not statistically significant. Fair pay (aOR= 2.38; 95% CI= 1.78 to 3.19; p<0.001); can increase job satisfaction of health workers and these results are statistically significant. Conclusion: Age over 30 years does not affect job satisfaction among health workers. A safe work environment can increase health workers' job satisfaction, but this increase is not statistically significant. Fair pay can increase health workers' job satisfaction and this result is statistically significant. Keywords: safety environment, fair salary, health provider, job satisfaction
