The aim of this study was to determine the level of job satisfaction and analyze the demographic associations among nurses at a private territory care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. Following a cross sectional study, 154 female nurses were recruited via stratified simple random sampling technique. The data was collected by using the self-administered modified structured tool that was originally used by Mueller and McCloskey (1990). The mean job satisfaction level among nurses was 3.53 ± 0.688. Around 54% nurses were satisfied, with about 4.5% nurses being very satisfied, with their job and 49.4% were found to be moderately satisfied with their job. Furthermore, 40.9% were found to be neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with their job. Nurses who were younger in age and less clinical experienced were more satisfied as compared to the mature and experienced nurses. Nurses who were unmarried, had Matric qualification, had both Diploma in Nursing and Midwifery, reported a moderate level of job satisfaction. Participants working in the critical care areas were more satisfied as compared to those working in other areas. Those having a salary of 11,000-20,999/month PKR were more comfortable with their job than those who had a higher salary, more than 20,999/month PKR. The current study revealed a moderate level of job satisfaction and it confirmed that there is no significant relationship between the demographic and the level of job satisfaction among nurses. The study disclosed that attractive salary, fringe benefits, promotion plan, conducive working environment, supportive staff, and opportunity for career growth are the key to enhance the job satisfaction among nurses. Ultimately, this also assists in retaining the experienced and qualified nursing staff for quality patient care.
