Health extension workers' level of job satisfaction in western Hararghe Zone, eastern Ethiopia: an institutional-based cross-sectional study.

Nearly half of the health extension workers were dissatisfied with their jobs. Supportive supervision, compensation, distance, and parental home location were all predictors of job satisfaction. It is critical to establish intervention tactics that may satisfy and motivate HEWs to expand health coverage, strengthen health extension programs, and improve service delivery.
