Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, namely, the placement of people in the appropriate occupations, an individual study and examination of the characteristics, thoughts and opinions of the people working on their jobs and the indication of their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with their job is necessary.

Factors such as economic situation, industrial change, friends, geographical location, culture, religion and gender In general, if a person does not pay attention to individual and environmental realities in choosing a job, he will not succeed in his job, and on the other hand, he will face job loss, defeats and dissatisfaction [15].

Main comparison to the similar studies
.. [16-18]. In a study to assess the impact of the United States economic downturn on job satisfaction, more than 20 aspects of job satisfaction were measured from the view of staff. The satisfaction of employees with their general working conditions was 86%, so that 41% reported a high degree of satisfaction. The majority of them (58%) reported that the current economic situation did not create a difference in their job satisfaction levels [19]. Habib and Shirazi [20] conducted research on job satisfaction and mental health among staff and nurses of a hospital. Totally, 61% of the employees were satisfied with their job and 39% were dissatisfied. Job satisfaction had reverse relationship with the education. There was not a significant correlation between job satisfaction and age, gender, marital status and work history. According to the findings, a decrease in job satisfaction was associated with psychological and individual disorders. Zandi Pour and Momen Javid [21] investigated the relationship between marital satisfaction and job satisfaction in the employees of Tehran's Water and Sewage Company. Hunter [22] argue that there is a general correlation between different personality structures, honesty and satisfaction with colleagues and job satisfaction. In general, the results of various studies in the world show that employees with a higher level of job satisfaction are in a good position in terms of physical fitness and mental ability [23]. Job satisfaction in the workplace leads to innovation, creativity in work, increased service, reduced staff quit, increased mental health of employees, and consequent increase in employee health. Job satisfaction is part of the satisfaction of life. The work environment affects human emotions. As the occupation is a major part of life, job satisfaction has an impact on the overall human satisfaction of life [24]. Nekooee Moghadam and Pirmooradi Bezanjani [25] examined the role of individual differences and personality traits of employees in their organizational behavior. Tajik [26] addressed the study of job satisfaction and service abandonment among employees. In general, according to previous studies, in the field of job satisfaction, it has been determined that the relationships between colleagues and praise from colleagues are among the important factors of job satisfaction of employees that can be a reward for employees and improve organizational performance and job success, and ultimately, job satisfaction can be achieved [27]. Jahani et al. [28] have investigated some of the factors related to job satisfaction in hospitals in Arak.
Suggestions
Considering the general satisfaction of employees, factors that increase job satisfaction should be addressed by managers and authorities, which ultimately leads to the promotion of services to the referrals.
Limitations

Conclusions
The two factors of socio-cultural status and individual characteristics have the greatest impact on the overall satisfaction of the staff of Sarem Specialized Hospital in Tehran, while the economic-livelihood status and quality of life do not affect the overall satisfaction of employees.
