This study aimed to identify the differences in job satisfaction levels among expatriate health professionals (EHPs) working in the Saudi Arabian private sector, the stressors affecting their job satisfaction, and the influence of those stressors on their turnover intention. A cross-sectional design was guided by Herzberg's Theory. A convenience sample of 204 expatriate doctors, nurses, and pharmacists in Saudi Arabia were recruited from the private sector. Data were collected from four urban hospitals in regions having 74% of the bed capacity in the private sector. A four-part instrument measured dissatisfiers, job satisfaction, turnover intention, and cultural unrest. The results showed that EHPs have moderate job satisfaction. There was a difference in job satisfaction levels in terms of profession and nationality. Stressors influencing job satisfaction support Herzberg's theory. There was a significant positive correlation between dissatisfiers and job satisfaction. Cultural unrest had a very weak positive correlation with job satisfaction. Working conditions, salary, supervision, interpersonal relationships, hospital policy and administration, and job security were significant predictors of job satisfaction. Job satisfaction and turnover intention have insignificant relationship. The private health organisations can use the findings of this study to promote job satisfaction, decrease turnover intention, and improve cultural acclimatisation

Critical ethnography and intersectionality are increasingly engaged in nursing and refugee research. Both approaches study marginalized populations and explore how their daily experiences of inequality and marginalization are influenced by various forms of oppression, power structures, and cultural context. A blended approach of critical ethnography with intersectionality can inform research with marginalized groups as both have much in common, including the call for social justice and change. This article outlines the potential of using the blended theoretical approach in advancing refugee women's health research and to inform a particular methodological approach for nursing research and health care practice.
