Since the disasters such as COVID-19 can also affects the job satisfaction, this study aims to investigate the relationship between personality traits and job satisfaction of Iranian nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic.&nbsp;<br> <strong>Materials and Methods</strong>: This descriptive/correlational study was conducted in 2021-2022 on 131 nurses working in military hospitals in Tehran, Iran, during the COVID-19 pandemic. They were selected using a stratified random sampling method. Data collection tools included a demographic form, the Neo personality inventory, and the Minnesota satisfaction questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 16.<br> <strong>Results</strong>: There was a statistically significant relationship between&nbsp;job satisfaction and personality traits of neuroticism (P=0.02), agreeableness (P=0.009), and conscientiousness (P=0.005). The highest correlation was related to conscientiousness (r=0.24), and agreeableness (r=0.23). Extraversion (P=0.07) and opennes to experience (P=0.018) had no significant relationship with&nbsp;job satisfaction.<br> <strong>Conclusion</strong>: Job satisfaction&nbsp;of nurses&nbsp;in the study hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic was at a moderate level. It is necessary for hospitals managers to pay attention to three personality traits of neuroticism, agreeableness, and conscientiousness in nurses to improve their job satisfaction, which can have a direct impact on the quality of nursing care.</span></span></span></div> COVID-19, Job satisfaction, Personality, Nurses 29 36 http://hdq.uswr.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-318-3&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Melika Shfiee azizi.m411@gmail.com 0000-0003-1261-8062 No Student Research Committee, Aja University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
