Attitudes towards job-related factors stand as one of the most influential determinants of retention of Human Resource for Health (HRH) in rural areas. Thus, the factors which underlie the attitudes of HRH towards job-related factors of rural job posts are equally important. Thus, this study assesses the inclination of attitudes of HRH towards job-related factors of rural job posts on a sample of 60 HRH who have short period of service and 61 HRH who have long period of service using Mann Whitney U test for independent samples. We tested the jobrelated factors which are commonly referred in HRH researches, namely, opportunity to practice a variety of skills, opportunity of career advancement, support from other staff, autonomy at work place and the extent to which the job is enjoyable due to its relative difficulty. The findings show that HRH who have short period of service have more favorable attitudes towards opportunity to practice a variety of skills and the degree of enjoyment in their jobs than do their counterparts. As a means to retain HRH in rural health facilities in Tanzania, particularly those who have short period of service, the study recommends on fostering favorable attitudes towards job-related factors of rural job posts by focusing on factors of rural job posts to which they have more favorable attitudes.
