Abstract

Introduction: Job satisfaction is organizational behavior, a vital element in an employee’s lifecycle that significantly affects the productivity, quality of services, and efficient use of the organization’s resources.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 172 Public Health professionals (PHP’s) working in governmental public health institutions in the 18 states in North - Sudan. Data were collected utilizing a modified Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), with a Cronbach’s alpha (0.80). The data were analyzed using SPSS version 24, including descriptive statistics, independent sample ttest, Pearson correlations, Chi-square, one-way ANOVA, and multiple logistic regression. The tests, applied at 95 % confidence interval, p<0.05, were considered significant, and odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence interval (CI) were used to explain the presence of an association between dependent and independent variables.
