The results were analyzed by SPSS21 software as well as Spearmans and Pearson chi square tests.Results
Nostatistical correlation wasfound between job satisfaction and all four quadrants including the first quadrant (P.value = 0.441) and second (P.value=0.943) and third (P.value=0.650) and fourth (P.value=0.338). In addition, statistically, there was no relationship between job satisfaction and various variables such as participants ages (P.value=0.51), gender (P.value=0.401), marital status (P.value=0.114), educational level (P.value=0.073), job experience (P.value=0.403), average of daily work hours (P.value=0.617) and at end the type of contract (P.value=0.079).Conclusion
