The descriptive-analytical method was used to achieve the aims of the study, and the questionnaire was the tool of the study, which distributed among (179) workers from the researched hospitals.

The research reached a number of results, the most important of them were: there is a high degree of importance for the Saudization axis in appointing employees in hospitals, and there is a high degree of importance for the following axes: wages, the availability of rare medical specialities, the experience of the medical staff, and the skills of using modern technology.
