Background: Job Satisfaction can lead to better performance and a reduction in occupational accidents, thereby increasing organizational productivity. This study aims to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and occupational accidents in the operating staff of a cement industry.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at Lamerd Cement Factory in the Fars Province. All employees at that factory were considered the target population of the study (n = 53). The census method was used in this study to assess the incidence rate and to complete the job satisfaction questionnaire. Besides, data analysis was performed using the independent samples t-test and the one-way ANOVA in SPSS 24.
Results: The average job satisfaction is correlated with the number of accidents (p = 0.003), which shows people with more than once accident have less job satisfaction. Besides, the number of trainings has a direct correlation with the average job satisfaction (P = 0.016), and married people are more satisfied than single ones.
Conclusion: Occupational hazard evaluations have a direct effect on the level of job satisfaction. Due to the direct relationship between training and the increase in job satisfaction, providing relevant trainings is emphasized.
