In the context of paracontact geometry, η-Ricci solitons are considered on manifolds satisfying certain curvature conditions: (ξ,⋅)R⋅ S=0, (ξ,⋅)S⋅ R=0, (ξ,⋅)W2⋅ S=0 and (ξ,⋅)S⋅ W2=0. We prove that on a para-Kenmotsu manifold (M,φ,ξ,η,g), the existence of an η-Ricci soliton implies that (M,g) is quasi-Einstein and if the Ricci curvature satisfies (ξ,⋅)R⋅ S=0, then (M,g) is Einstein. Conversely, we give a sufficient condition for the existence of an η-Ricci soliton on a para-Kenmotsu manifold.
