In this study, it was aimed to reveal the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic on the job satisfaction of healthcare professionals working in a hospital. An online questionnaire containing questions on the socio-demographic characteristics and their working status in the COVID-19 outbreak and the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale was applied to healthcare professionals working in a training and research hospital. 268 people volunteered to participate in the study answered the questionnaire between June and August in 2020. The job satisfaction of those who were single, diagnosed with COVID-19, and who had a quarantine process were found lower. The job satisfaction of those who are not actively involved in patient care were higher than others. It was found that the job satisfaction of those working in clinics where COVID-19 patients are treated, those staying in temporary accommodation centers during the pandemic, and healthcare professionals with weekly working time of 45 hours or more were lower. It is needed to take measures and encourage healthcare professionals - especially those working in units where COVID-19 patients are treated - to increase their job satisfaction during pandemic. During the pandemic, it is recommended to reduce weekly working hours, support employees who got infected and who had quarantined, and provide healthcare professionals with accommodation under suitable conditions.
