Abstract: The objective of the paper is to assess the levels and correlates of JS and QoL of clinical and non-clinical health workers in University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital. Comparative, cross-sectional study of 440 staff selected by stratified sampling and administered Minnesota job satisfaction (MSQ) and WHO quality of life (WHO-BREF-QoL) questionnaires were used. Response rate was 80.5% and Cronbach's alphas were 0.91 and 0.84 for the MSQ and WHO-BREF-QoL, respectively. The low level of JS and moderate QoL showed significant differences in the intrinsic JS, social and general health domains of QoL. Age, marital status, education and working years showed associations with JS while education and working years with QoL. A moderate but significant association was observed between JS and QoL. JS and QoL among HCWs were low and mitigating remediable factors of poor JS and QoL can improve quality, safety, and efficiency of healthcare delivery.
