The relationship of job satisfaction and burnout level with quality of life in hospital nurses

Abstract Aim. The purpose of the present study was to determine the relationship between job satisfaction, burnout level and quality of life of the nurses working at hospitals in Sivas, Turkey. It is thought that there is a relationship between job satisfaction, burnout levels and quality of life of nurses and that the direction of this relationship may have a positive or negative effect on care services they provide. For this reason, the measurement of the relationship between job satisfaction, burnout level and quality of life of nurses is important. Methods. Study sample included 439 nurses. The data was collected through Personal Information Form, Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), Maslach Burnout Inventory and Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF). The scores that the nurses received from the scales were presented in averages and in standard deviation. Correlation analysis was used for statistical analysis. Results. General job satisfaction average score of the nurses was 3.2±0.6. There was a positive and significant relationship between job satisfaction and all sub-dimensions of quality of life (p<0.01). Burnout sub-dimension average score of the nurses was 17.2±7.6, desensitization average score was 3.30±3.59 and personal achievement average score was 24.1±5.2. Quality of life average score of the nurses was 13.53±2. 7 in physical domain, 14.2±2 in psychological domain, 14.0±2.2 in social domain and 12.53±2.17 in environmental domain. There was a negative relationship between all sub-dimensions of quality of life and exhaustion and desensitization scores. It was found that there was a positive relationship between quality of life and personal achievement average scores (p<0.01). Conclusions. Quality of life of the nurses was slightly above average in all domains. As job satisfaction and personal achievements of the nurses increased, so did their quality of life. As the emotional exhaustion and desensitization levels of the nurses increased, their quality of life levels decreased. Keywords: Nurse, job satisfaction, burnout, quality of life Ozet Amac.

A Survey on Nurses’ Job Burnout and Factors Analysis in Tangshan Private Hospitals

With transformation of medical model and development of medical and health service, nurses often appear the phenomenon of job burnout. Sampling questionnaire of nurses’ formal backgrounds and MBI-SS, we conduct a survey on 280 re-post professional nurses who have been working for one or more years to know the present situation of job burnout and to analyze relative factors, thus providing a theoretical basis for solving the problem of nurses’ job burnout in Tangshan private hospitals. The result shows that the job burnout phenomenon is widespread; the job burnout level of male nurses is lower; PD’ nurses are easier to feel burnout and ED’ nurses have low personal accomplishment; the more satisfaction to higher salary, the lower of their job burnout. All these indicate that, it does help to relieve nurses’ sense of burnout, if we arrange their job volume appropriately, improve their treatment.

The study sets out to find out the level of job burnout and job involvement and examines the relation between the sub-dimensions of job burnout and job involvement. Maslach burnout inventory was used to measure the level of job burnout. To find out the level of job involvement for the practitioners of accountancy “job involvement scale” by Kanungo (1982) was employed. Opinions of the participants for each statement for job involvement and job burnout were analyzed through frequency, percentage, arithmetic average and standard deviation. The relation between job involvement and job burnout for the practitioners of accountancy was determined using Pearson correlation coefficient. The results suggest that there is a negative-direction relation between job involvement and job burnout of the practitioners of accountancy.

Moderating effects of leader-member exchange (LMX) on job burnout in dietitians and chefs of institutional foodservice

The objectives of the study were to investigate job burnout and leader-member exchange (LMX) levels as well as to evaluate buffering effects of LMX on burnout among dietitians and chefs at institutional foodservices. Hypotheses were proposed based on the Job Demands-Resources model and LMX theory. The study population consisted of dietitians and chefs who were in charge of managing unit operations in a nationwide contract management company. Positive/negative affectivity, workload, job burnout, and LMX scales that had been validated in previous research were adopted. A total of 552 questionnaires were distributed and 154 responses were returned. Results indicated that respondents' burnout levels were moderate and emotional exhaustion was greater than cynicism. In terms of LMX, the surveyed dietitians and chefs showed higher respect toward their supervisors than loyalty. When positive affectivity and negative affectivity were controlled, workload influenced emotional exhaustion and professional efficacy significantly. With affectivity and workload controlled, however, LMX did not influence any dimensions of burnout. The moderating effect of LMX on the relationship between workload and cynicism was significant. That is, the effect of workload on cynicism was weak if the dietitians and chefs perceived the relationship with their supervisor positively. Based on the findings and literature reviewed, how to mitigate job burnout among foodservice managers is discussed.

A systematic review on the relationship between the nursing shortage and nurses' job satisfaction, stress and burnout levels in oncology/haematology settings.

Nursing shortage is a global issue that which affects oncology nursing. Oncology nurses are more prone to experience job dissatisfaction, stress and burnout when they work in units with poor staffing. There is thus a need for greater understanding of the relationship between the nursing shortage and nursing outcomes in oncology/haematology settings. This review aimed to establish the best available evidence concerning the relationship between the nursing shortage and nurses' job satisfaction, stress and burnout levels in oncology/haematology settings; and to make recommendations for practice and future research. Types of participants: This review considered studies that included oncology registered nurses (RNs) who were more than 18 years of age and worked in either inpatient or outpatient oncology/haematology wards or units for the adult or paediatric patients.Types of intervention: This review considered studies that evaluated the relationship between the nursing shortage and nurses' job satisfaction, stress and burnout levels in oncology/haematology settings.Types of outcomes: This review included studies that measured job satisfaction, stress and burnout levels using different outcomes measures. Job satisfaction was determined by the Measure of Job Satisfaction scale, the Misener Nurse Practitioner Job Satisfaction Scale and the Likert scale, stress by the Pediatric Oncology Nurse Stressor Questionnaire and burnout by the Maslash Burnout Inventory scale.Types of studies: This review included descriptive/descriptive-correlational studies which were published in English. The search strategy sought to identify published and unpublished studies conducted between 1990 and 2010. Using a three-step search strategy, the following databases were accessed: CINAHL, Medline, Scopus, ScienceDirect, PsycInfo, PsycArticles, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, Proquest and Mednar. Two independent reviewers assessed each paper for methodological validity prior to inclusion in the review using standardised critical appraisal instruments from the Joanna Briggs Institute-Meta Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument (JBI-MAStARI). Disagreements were resolved through discussion, or with a third reviewer. Data were extracted using standardised data extraction tool adapted from the JBI-MAStARI. Data synthesisDue to the heterogeneous nature of the included papers, a meta-analysis was not possible. Hence, a narrative summary was presented for the studies. This review encompassed seven descriptive/descriptive-correlational studies. Findings revealed a positive bidirectional relationship between the nursing shortage and oncology nurses' job dissatisfaction, stress and burnout. In addition, the extent of oncology nurses' job dissatisfaction, stress and burnout, and their perception of staffing inadequacy also differed according to nurses' demography and work settings. The nursing shortage, coupled with an increasing number of patients diagnosed with cancer, entail a pressing need for organisations to ensure sufficient staffing in oncology/haematology settings, in order to provide quality patient care. This then requires interventions that target both the recruitment and retention of nurses. Organisations need to customise their strategies for the recruitment and retention of oncology nurses. The strategies should take into considerations the specific demographic characteristics of oncology nurses or characteristics of work settings that are experiencing staffing inadequacy and negative nursing outcomes. The strategies should also aim to replicate features of other institutions that are attractive to oncology nurses; and also include training that help oncology nurses better manage their emotions. Future research need to examine the relationship between the nursing shortage and oncology nurses' job satisfaction, stress and burnout in bone marrow transplant units, paediatric oncology settings and also Asian oncology settings. Characteristics of oncology nurses or workplaces that are more likely to experience negative nursing outcomes due the nursing shortage should also be identified.

Workıng Condıtıons And Control, Job Satısfactıon, Burnout, Depressıon Levels Among Anesthesıology-Reanımatıon And Internal Medıcıne Physıcıans

Aim: Investigation of working conditions and control, job satisfaction, burnout, and depression levels among anesthesiologyreanimation and internal medicine physicians.Material and Method: Resident and specialist physicians working in AR and IM branches in hospitals located at the central district of Ankara province, were included in the study. Maslach Burnout Inventory which analyzes emotional exhaustion, desensitization, and personal accomplishment; Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire which measures job satisfaction; Beck Depression Inventory which evaluates the level of depressive signs; adapted survey form of ‘Working Conditions and Control Questionnaire’ which examines the job conditions and control over those conditions; and the socio-demographic data collection form which assesses the individual characteristics, were delivered to the physicians along with the informed consent form. 412 forms received back from those physicians, were statistically evaluated with independent samples T, one-way variance analysis, Pearson chi-square, Yates chi-square, and Fischer exact tests. Results: In review of burnout in all the physicians, reduction in desensitization was found to occur with aging (p=0.001). Among residents, emotional exhaustion, desensitization and Beck Depression Inventory scores were high (p=0,020, p<0,001, p=0,013), whereas working conditions and control were low. In AR physicians, control was high, while desensitization was lower (p=0.006). Conclusion: We believe, working and personal conditions of physicians should be evaluated at certain intervals and amended when required to.

The relationship between job insecurity and burnout

Organisational survival has necessitated more flexible practices (short-term contracts and outsourcing) and, the need for an effective workforce that is able to work continuously under immense pressure. Whilst the former has raised feelings of job insecurity, the latter has resulted in burnout. This study aims to assess levels of job insecurity and burnout amongst 87 employees in a training and development environment, relationships between these two key dimensions and the impact of biographical variables. Data, collected using the Job Insecurity Questionnaire (JIQ) and the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI), reflects a significant relationship between these dimensions. The study provides recommendations for reducing their catastrophic individual and organisational consequences.

Job burnout and self-efficacy survey among elementary school teachers in Greece

Background Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced professional efficacy within the workplace are the three dimensions of the job burnout syndrome. In this study, we examined the levels of job burnout in a sample of 100 teachers of elementary education. Also, we sought to identify the relationship between job burnout and general self-efficacy, teachers’ self-efficacy and group self-efficacy. Moreover, we looked into the relationship between job burnout and the three types of self-efficacy with teachers’ perceptions of particular work-related values. Job burnout dimensions and self-efficacy are also studied in relation to teachers’ demographic characteristics.

Employment-based social capital, job stress, and employee burnout: A public child welfare employee structural model

This cross-sectional study examined the relationship between employment-based social capital, job stress and burnout among public child welfare workers in a Northeastern state. Since one of the core functions of social capital is support, this study examines how employees' perception of support from multiple organizational dimensions, such as trust, social relationships with coworkers and supervisors, organizational commitment, communication, influence, and fairness can shape levels of job stress and burnout. Utilizing a purposive sample of 209 employees, results of structural equation modeling indicate that social capital in the form of communication, supervisory support, organizational commitment, influence, and trust shared a significant association with job stress. Employment-based social capital had varying effects on burnout as characterized by emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Emotional exhaustion was significantly associated with age, influence, supervisory support, organizational commitment, and job stress, while depersonalization was predicted by age, organizational commitment, and job stress. Implications for organizational practice and future research are discussed.

Job dissatisfaction and burnout in secondary school teachers: student's disruptive behaviour and conflict management examined

Over the last few decades there has been an important consensus amongst both scholars and researchers as far as teacher occupational malaise is concerned on the leading role of both students’ disruptive behaviour and/or attitudes and teachers’ perception of the difficulty in managing conflicts. Few empirical attempts, however, have been aimed at elucidating what determinants -from either of the two fronts- have a greater prominence to this phenomenon. It is, therefore, the purpose of this study -using a sample of 1,386 teachers from Ensenanza Secundaria Obligatoria (Compulsory Secondary Education), to identify what students’ disruptive behaviour and/or attitudes as well as what sources of stress derived from conflict management best discriminate between teachers with different levels of job dissatisfaction and burnout. Results allow us to conclude that all variables validly discriminate as a function of dissatisfaction and burnout. Specifically, aspects such as dealing with the parents of disruptive students and students’ problematic behaviour (vandalism within the premises of the school, aggressions among students, verbal abuse and challenging behaviour against the teacher) have an incidence on all three facets of burnout.

A discussion of job dissatisfaction and burnout among public hospital physicians

The purpose of this study is to investigate levels of job satisfaction and burnout among Turkish physicians, and the relationships between demographic characteristics, job characteristics, and job satisfaction. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to 351 physicians to determine factors contributing to stress and job satisfaction. The most important results of the study show that the participants were unhappy with their salary, did not have enough time to follow developments in medicine, and had a limited social life due to heavy workloads. The results of the study show that physicians who work in public facilities have low motivation due to the nature of their organizations. Public hospital working conditions and staff salaries must be improved to promote health professionals and healthy society.

TEACHER BURNOUT AND JOB SATISFACTION AMONG AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION TEACHERS

The demands on teachers both in and out of classrooms combined with increased budget cuts have led many to question the levels of job satisfaction and burnout among agricultural education teachers. The purpose of this study was to describe the occurrence of burnout and the level at which burnout exists among agricultural education teachers in Ohio. The study was also designed to consider the relationships between job satisfaction, occupational stress, personal strain, personal coping resources, and burnout among agricultural education teachers. A random sample (n = 388) of the population (N = 628) received a mailed questionnaire (37% response, n = 145). Teachers were described predominantly as married, white males with one to two children and less than 10 years of experience in their present positions. The majority of agricultural education teachers in the study possessed high levels of job satisfaction, low levels of occupational stress and personal strain, and high levels of personal coping resources. However, teachers in the study indicated a moderate level of frequency of burnout and a moderate to high level of intensity of burnout. No significant relationships were found between demographic characteristics and burnout, or between organizational factors and burnout.

Predictors of burnout and job satisfaction among Turkish physicians

Burnout is associated with decreased job performance and low career satisfaction. It has a special significance in health care, where staff experience both psychological-emotional and physical stress. To investigate levels of job satisfaction and burnout among Istanbul physicians, and the relationships between demographic characteristics, job characteristics, job satisfaction and burnout. Questionnaire-based survey. We collected data from a randomly selected sample group of 598 physicians from different health-care institutions in Istanbul. A questionnaire regarding sociodemographic characteristics of the physicians, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) were all administered during face-to-face interviews. Job satisfaction was inversely correlated with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, and positively correlated with personal accomplishment. Under multilevel regression, the most significant and common predictors of all burnout dimensions and job satisfaction were the number of vacations at individual level, and public ownership of healthcare facilities at group level. Number of shifts per month was also a significant predictor of all burnout dimensions. Organizational efforts aimed at increasing the level of job satisfaction among physicians could help to prevent burnout.
