Factors behind Expatriates Nurses Job Dissatisfaction in Hail’s Public Hospitals, Saudi Arabia

Job satisfaction is considered one of the most important parameters in measuring the performance of the employees. In this study, the researcher has discussed different factors that lead to dissatisfaction among expat nurses working in the Saudi healthcare sector, and has used positivism philosophy. Different survey instruments were used to collect primary data for this study: and the JSS (quantitative component). Firstly, nurses were provided with a self-administrated JSS. The JSS was developed to analyse nine job satisfaction scales, each containing four subscales. The reliability coefficient for descriptive statistics was computed at 0.84, above the threshold mark of 0.70. T-tests were used in this research. During the study, it was observed that out of the 100 married participants, 43 were at the position of Charge nurse and only one of them was working as a director in the organisation. The researcher conducted t-tests to identify the factors that lead to job dissatisfaction among the expats at Hali’s public hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Herein it was observed that very few chances of getting a promotion were of the main causes of job dissatisfaction among the expat nurses. Here the p-value was 0.00, lower than the threshold requirement of 0.05. In conclusion, the chances of getting a promotion were very less due to the fact that they were not native to the country. Also, nurses were not happy with the benefits that they receive in the organisation. That is, expats do not get too many benefits in the host nations.
