This study examined the factors affecting the quality of work life and job satisfaction among early-career pharmacists in Nigeria. This was a cross-sectional survey conducted across the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria. We used the database of licensed pharmacists in each selected state to identify eligible participants. Information sheets were sent to all potential participants through email. If interested, they signed the consent form and were sent the survey online to be completed and returned within 24 h. Validated questionnaires were used to evaluate their quality of work life and job satisfaction. Descriptive statistics (frequency, mean, and standard deviation) were used to summarize the data. Of a total of 373 participants; 323 (86.6%) were single, and 245 (65.7%) were working in government-owned hospitals. The findings showed that the quality of work life information affects the job satisfaction of early-career pharmacists. Reasons reported for poor job satisfaction were poor remuneration, increased workload, a lack of employer support, and an unconducive work environment. Suggestions for possible interventions included an increase in remuneration, an accommodating work atmosphere, and flexible working hours. Our findings show a direct relationship between quality of work life and job satisfaction; predictors of job satisfaction were salary, employer assistance, health insurance, and length of leave.
