Job satisfaction and nurse performance

Abstract: Employee performance has always been a major challenge in the management of organizations such as hospitals. Measuring the performance of hospital employees, especially nurses, is a very interesting topic considering that nurses are the largest workforce, which is around 50-60% of all health workers in the hospital. Research on job satisfaction in nurses related to performance is still important to do, to encourage overall hospital performance. Purpose: aim this research is to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and nurse performance. Method: This study used a correlational descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. The population of this research is practicing nurses with total sampling technique. Data was collected using the Index Work Satisfaction (IWS) questionnaire and the Six Dimensional Scale of Nursing Performance. Statistical analysis using the Chi Square test. Results: 60.6% of nurses are satisfied with their work, while 53.5% of nurses still have poor performance. This study has revealed a significant relationship between job satisfaction and the performance of nurses in the surgical treatment room (p-value 0.002; α: 0.005) with OR showing 6.188 meaning that nurses who are dissatisfied with their work have the opportunity to perform less well 6.2 times, when compared with nurses who are satisfied in their jobs. These results can be used by hospital nursing managers that in order to improve nurse performance they must consider the job satisfaction of their nurses.

Healthcare professionals' perception and satisfaction with mental health tele-medicine during the COVID-19 outbreak: A real-world experience in telepsychiatry.

The use of telemedicine is increasingly being implemented, showing numerous benefits over other methods. A good example of this is the use of telemedicine following the breakdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Previous experiences with telemedicine (TM) have not been significantly explored in relation to the professionals' own perspectives. Identify and explore the perceptions and interests of mental health professionals who have performed TM during the period of pandemia. A questionnaire on mental health professionals' perceptions of and satisfaction of TM, the Font Roja Work Satisfaction Questionnaire, was adapted and used. Data collected included 112 Psychiatric Service professionals who conducted TM in March 2020, after the country had been under lockdown for 10 weeks. Over 12.000 medical consultations were carried out by the phone, showing an overwhelming response to this method. High levels of satisfaction were recorded amongst professionals. TM would function as a complement to the traditional system of face-to-face visits (n-112, f-109, 96.5%). Only 9.7% (f-11) believed that digital or virtual interventions would completely replace face-to-face visits. 60.8% did not consider this monotonous work. The older the health workers were, the more satisfied they felt during their follow-up telephone consultation. The greater the previous experience, the more satisfaction was shown. There were gender differences: female mental health workers reported a greater level of comfort. TM can be implemented with less effort, but it requires time, methods, and resources to be managed. Satisfaction among professionals is high, especially among those with more clinical experience. Patient satisfaction must be contrasted against this.

Burnout and work satisfaction are differentially associated in gastroenterologists in Germany

Burnout in the field of gastroenterology is an under-researched phenomenon. So far, only a few studies have dealt with this topic. There are large geographical variations in burnout rates with 16-20% of gastroenterologists in Mexico and Germany being at risk or having burnout, 30-40% in the United Kingdom, and 50-55% in South Korea, Canada, and the USA. The investigation of differential associations of burnout with important factors in gastroenterologists leading to tailored therapy recommendations is lacking. Therefore, we investigated the associations between work satisfaction and burnout in this specialization. We distributed an electronic survey to gastroenterologists organized mainly in the Federal Organization of Gastroenterology in Germany (the BVGD - Bundesverband Gastroenterologie Deutschland). The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the Work Satisfaction Questionnaire (WSQ) were examined regarding their postulated internal structure in our sample of gastroenterologists. Canonical correlations were performed to examine the association between work satisfaction and burnout in endoscopy physicians. An acceptable model fit was shown for both the MBI and the Work Satisfaction Questionnaire. The canonical correlation analysis resulted in two statistically significant canonical functions with correlations of .62 (p<.001) and .27 (p<.001). The full model across all functions was significant (χ 2 (18) = 386.26, p<.001). Burden, personal rewards, and global item regarding the job situation were good predictors for less exhaustion, while patient care and professional relations were good predictors for personal accomplishment. This supports the recognition of burnout as being a multidimensional construct which has to be thoroughly diagnosed. Specific interventions should be designed to improve symptoms of burnout in endoscopy physicians according to their individual complaints as burnout is a multidimensional construct. Differential interventions should be offered on the basis of our study results in order to alleviate the issue of work satisfaction and burnout in endoscopy physicians.

BURNOUT AND JOB SATISFACTION AMONG FAMILY PHYSICIANS

Aim: Burnout syndrome is a major problem, especially among health care workers. The higher the sense of individual skills and achievement, the lower the likelihood of burnout syndrome. The objective of the study is to measure the level of burnout and job satisfaction of family physicians. Methods: Both data of the Family Physicians (FPs) who are working in rural and urban has been included in the study. The study is designed to measure their level of burnout and job satisfaction using the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Minnesota Work Satisfaction Questionnaire. Their relationship with the working area and other factors is also analyzed. Results: Maslach depersonalization subscale was found to be significantly higher in those who lived alone, those who defined their location as rural, and those who did not participate in continuing medical education (CME) (p=0.02, p=0.01, p=0.03). While Maslach personal achievement score was low in those who define their location as rural (p=0.01) it was found to be higher in women and those who did not participate in CME (p=0.02, p=0.03). In addition, as age increases, Maslach emotional burnout and depersonalization scores decrease and personal success scores increase (r =-0.169, -0.205, 0.163 and p=0.00, p=0.00, p=0.00). Conclusions: Emotional and total burnout scores decreased with age, and that attending CME increased personal achievement. CME could be a beneficial tool not only to support FPs but also to prevent burnout.

Satisfacción laboral en una organización human care de la Bahía de Guayaquil

The aim of this research is to identify the most important factors of job satisfaction in employees of a human care company located in ​​the Guayaquil Bay. The research design was not experimental and transversal. In its development, the Melia and Peiro’s Work Satisfaction Questionnaire S20/23 was applied; this, presented a high internal consistency level (α = 0.90). The study had a convenience sample of 201 employees collected in 2018. Participation in decision making, remuneration and physical conditions are factors of job dissatisfaction. One of the predominant conclusions is that the compensation system and the working conditions influence worker satisfaction.

GPs' motivation for teaching medical students in a rural area-development of the Motivation for Medical Education Questionnaire (MoME-Q).

BackgroundThe establishment of a medical education program in the rural area of Siegen is planned to be the first step against a shortage of physicians in this region. General practitioners (GPs) will be extensively involved in this program as Family Medicine (Allgemeinmedizin) will become a core subject in the curriculum nationwide. Based on this situation we aim to figure out GPs motivation to participate in medical education. For this purpose, we had to construct and test a new questionnaire.MethodsA survey was conducted among general practitioners (GPs) in the region of Siegen-Wittgenstein regarding their motivation to participate in medical education. For this purpose, the Motivation for Medical Education Questionnaire (MoME-Q), a 24-item questionnaire, was developed. Structural characteristics of GPs, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the Work Satisfaction Questionnaire (WSQ) were used for validation purposes.ResultsA representative number of GPs took part in the study (53.8%). Although the majority had no connection to a university (86%), 83% can imagine participating in the education of medical students. The items of the MoME-Q load on two factors (commitment and personal benefit). The confirmatory factor analysis shows a good model fit. Subscales of the MoME-Q were able to differentiate between physicians with and without authorization to train GP residents, between practices with and without a specialized practice nurse, and between physicians with and without previous experience in medical education. The MoME-Q subscale “commitment” correlated significantly with all three subscales of the MBI. Correlations were in the medium range around |.30|.ConclusionThe MoME-Q seems to be an appropriate tool to assess motivation to participate in medical education of GPs. In our sample, a large number of GPs was motivated to participate in the education of medical students. Future studies with larger number of GPs should be carried out to validate and confirm our findings. Whether the MoME-Q is also appropriate for other specialties should also be shown in further empirical studies.

Burnout and work satisfaction in general practitioners practicing in rural areas: results from the HaMEdSi study.

BackgroundAn increasing number of general practitioners (GPs) are not satisfied with their working conditions and are at risk of developing burnout symptoms. As family medicine is becoming a major subject within the medical curriculum in Germany, practicing GPs need to meet higher demands in the future, ie, treating patients and taking part in the education of medical students. Accordingly, we aimed to determine GPs’ work satisfaction and risk of burnout.Materials and methodsA survey was conducted among GPs in the region of Siegen-Wittgenstein. This area is a representative rural region in Germany. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was used to assess the risk of burnout, while the Work Satisfaction Questionnaire (WSQ) was applied to assess work satisfaction. Canonical correlations were used to examine the association between work satisfaction and burnout in GPs.ResultsA good model fit was demonstrated for both the MBI and the WSQ. The canonical correlation analysis resulted in two statistically significant canonical functions with correlations of 0.64 (P<0.001) and 0.56 (P=0.001). The full model across all functions was significant (χ2 [18]=72.41, P<0.001). Burden and the global item in the WSQ are good predictors of emotional exhaustion, while patient care, personal rewards and professional relations seem to be good predictors of depersonalization/lack of empathy. This supports the approach to burnout as a multidimensional construct which has to be thoroughly diagnosed.ConclusionDifferential interventions tailored to GPs with specific deficits in certain areas should be delivered. GPs with a high score on emotional exhaustion would need a different intervention, as these respondents have different associations with work satisfaction than do GPs with a high score for depersonalization/low empathy. Therefore, the results of this study could contribute to the design of differential interventions aimed at ameliorating symptoms of burnout in GPs.

The Issue of Burnout and Work Satisfaction in Younger GPs-A Cluster Analysis Utilizing the HaMEdSi Study.

The shortage of general practitioners (GPs) in Germany has become a relevant problem. Therefore, it is important to find the determinants that make primary care more attractive, and which support GPs remaining in practice. Our aim in this exploratory study was to search for relevant GP subgroups and their characteristics in order to find starting points for improvements or interventions. We attempted a comprehensive survey of all GPs in the German region of Siegen-Wittgenstein with about 280,000 inhabitants. There were 158 GPs in the total population; 85 of these (53.8%) took part in the study. There were 64 male GPs (75.3%) in our sample. The mean age of the participants was 53.5 years (SD 8.93). The questionnaire was composed of demographic questions, questions regarding future perspectives, the Motivation for Medical Education Questionnaire (MoME-Q), the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and the Work Satisfaction Questionnaire. K-means cluster analyses were used for subgrouping. A 2-cluster solution had good statistical quality criteria. Cluster 1 was characterised by elderly GPs who more frequently had a resident physician in their practices. These GPs had low burnout scores and high work satisfaction scores. Cluster 2 consisted of younger GPs who less frequently had a resident in their practices. They had average burnout scores according to published norms and lower work satisfaction scores. There seems to be an age cohort effect regarding burnout and work satisfaction. Having a resident physician seems to be protective. Interventions should be designed for younger GPs, especially members of generation Y, to reduce burnout and improve work satisfaction.

Impact of a One Day Crisis Resource Management Training on the Work Satisfaction among Emergency Department Healthcare Staff

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the impact of a single day Crisis Resource Management (CRM) oriented team training, combining didactic and simulation sessions, on work satisfaction of the healthcare staff working in an Emergency Department. Methods: Seventy health professionals with different qualifications, working in an emergency department, were enrolled in the study. After enrollment, participants were asked to complete a work satisfaction questionnaire and to choose a day for the training session according to their availability. Each training session took place in the simulation center and consisted of several elements: didactic session and simulation session, followed by instructor facilitated debriefing. The lecture was focused on medical errors and CRM principles. Two months after, they were asked to complete again the work satisfaction questionnaire. Results: There were no significant improvements on the items evaluated through the work satisfaction questionnaire for none of the professional categories involved, except for ‘the possibility to refer the patient to a specialist whenever was considered necessary’ for the doctors. Improvements were seen for the same professional category on the following items: workload, leisure time, level of stress at work, time and energy spent on administrative tasks. Conclusions: The findings of this study do not support the effectiveness of a single day CRM training as a tool to improve the work satisfaction among medical staff in ED. Further research is necessary.

Impact of childhood type 1 diabetes on maternal work-family relations.

The aim of the study was to evaluate work-family conflict (WFC) and work-family facilitation (WFF) of working mothers of children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) compared with those of working mothers of children under follow-up not requiring treatment and of healthy children, and to explore the impact of organizational resources and the characteristics of the child and his disease on this interface. The study included 157 working mothers: 50 mothers of children with T1D, 50 mothers of children on medical follow-up without chronic illness and 57 mothers of healthy children. The participants completed validated questionnaires including the WFC scale, WFF scale, organizational resources support scale, life and work satisfaction questionnaire, a background demographic questionnaire and a child health questionnaire. Mothers of children with T1D also completed a questionnaire relating to diabetes management. Almost half of the mothers of children with T1D found it necessary to reduce their working hours or to change their workplace. This group also reported a significantly higher level of colleague support. There were no significant differences in WFC and WFF between mothers of children with T1D and controls. This study demonstrates the effect of raising a T1D child on the mother's vocational behavior. Despite the additional burden, work is a source of enrichment for these mothers.

Nurses’ Self Perception about Their Job Satisfaction in Public and Private Tertiary Care Hospitals in Metropolitan City of Karachi, Pakistan

Objective: The purpose of the study was to explore and describe the diploma- prepared nurses’ self perception about their job satisfaction in a metropolitan city of Karachi, Pakistan. Study Design: This study was conducted through cross-sectional quantitative design. Methods: A convenience sample of 281 diploma- prepared nurses’ from four public and private hospitals was selected. Data were collected using the standardized Index of Work Satisfaction (IWS) questionnaire, which includes six components, and a self developed demographic form. Results: The IWS Score for nurses’ job satisfaction was 12.4 indicating overall lower job satisfaction. Nurses were neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with their job components, except for ‘professional status’ and ‘interaction’ components. ‘Professional status’ component received the highest ranking for job satisfaction by the nurses, in contrary to ‘task requirements’ component as the lowest subscale. Also, the ‘professional status’ was the most important job component for the participants, while the least important component was ‘organizational policies’. Discrepancy was observed in the ‘pay’ and ‘task requirements’ scale components. Both components were perceived as important for job satisfaction, but received lower ranking for the level of current job satisfaction. Conclusion: Nurses, at all levels, should be recognized and rewarded for their contributions to improve their job satisfaction and performance resulting in health of their patients, families, and communities.

Emotional Life as Influence on Work Satisfaction

Emotional life is seen as an important indicator for wellbeing and for life success (personal and professional). It is important to identify the emotional resources which could be connected to work satisfaction. The study intends to figure out a relationship between the emotional life represented by emotional intelligence, emotional wellbeing, positive and negative affectivity and emotional regulation, on the one hand, and the work satisfaction on the other hand. The research is done on sample of 575 subjects, teachers, with different ages, and belonging both to rural and urban area. The instruments used were The Work Satisfaction Questionnaire (Constantin, 2004), The 33-items questionnaire for measurement of the emotional intelligence (Schutte et al.), PANAS, Negative Mood Regulation Scale, FFPI, Emotional Wellbeing Scale, Psychological Flourishing Scale. The results show an image regarding the relationships between the dimensions of emotional life and work satisfaction, trying to figuring out a specific possible intervention in order to enhance the work satisfaction.

Teachers’ Work Mentality and Work Satisfaction in Relation with their Personality Traits

The study intends to figure out a relationship between the emotional intelligence, self efficacy and other personality traits on the one hand, and work mentality and work satisfaction on the other hand. The study is going to find out if work satisfaction and work mentality is correlated with personal traits of teachers. The research is done on sample of 188 teachers of different scientific background, ages, and belonging both to rural and urban area. The instruments used were The Work Satisfaction Questionnaire (Constantin, 2004), The work Mentality Questionnaire (Constantin, 2004), The 33-items questionnaire for measurement of the emotional intelligence (Schutte et all), Self-Efficacy Scale and Five Factor Personality Inventory. The results show an image upon the work satisfaction and work mentality of the teachers in terms of different variables and also the relation between personal traits and work satisfaction and work mentality in teaching career. The results show an image regarding the relationships between teachers’ personal traits and their work mentality and satisfaction; these could be useful in developing personal development programs for teachers in order to enhance their work efficiency.

WORK SATISFACTION OF NEWLY HIRED NURSING WORKERS IN A PUBLIC HOSPITAL

4 ABSTRACT This was a descriptive and exploratory study, with a quantitative approach, performed from May to June of 2011 that aimed to verify the work satisfaction of nursing workers newly hired in a public hospital. A total of 133 professionals were submitted to the Index of Work Satisfaction questionnaire. Most were females, married, and 36.6 years old in average. The results highlight that according to nurses, autonomy is the most important factor for work satisfaction, whereas, for nurse technicians, it is the remuneration factor. Both categories agreed that professional status is the least important factor for work satisfaction. Nurses considered remuneration as a satisfying factor, whereas nurse technicians considered job requirements. Interaction was pointed as a criterion with the least perceived satisfaction by both categories. We conclude that freedom in decision- making, development of actions, and financial reward was important for work satisfaction. However, lack of professional social recognition and difficulties in interpersonal relationships lead to dissatisfaction.

Job satisfaction among public health nurses: a national survey.

Despite increasing interest in nurses' job satisfaction relatively few studies have investigated job satisfaction among public health nurses. To establish current level of job satisfaction among public health nurses and identify the main contributing variables/factors to job satisfaction among this population. Quantitative descriptive design. A simple random sample of 1000 public health nurses was conducted yielding a response rate of 35.1% (n=351). Data was collected using the Index of Work Satisfaction Questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were deployed. Low levels of job satisfaction among public health nurses emerged. Professional status, interaction and autonomy contributed most to job satisfaction while pay and task-related activities contributed least. Age and tenure were the only biographic factors that correlated significantly with job satisfaction. Public health nurse managers/leaders need to find creative ways of improving the factors that contribute to job satisfaction and address robustly those factors that result in low job satisfaction. The critical issue for public health nurse managers is to determine how job satisfaction can be improved. Greater collaboration and consultation between managers and public health nurses can be regarded as a useful way to begin this process, especially if contemporary nursing is to embrace a responsive approach within the profession.

Occupational stress, burnout and job satisfaction among supervisors in North Cyprus

The demands on supervisors both in and out of educational settings introduced by the recent learner-based innovations andcombined with increased work load have led many to question the levels of job satisfaction, occupational stress and burnout amongsupervisors. The goal of this article was to explore the levels of occupational stress, burnout and job satisfaction among supervisors inNorth Cyprus. The target population of this study was all supervisors working for the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports in NorthCyprus. All 34 supervisors were included in the study. Data were collected through (1) Occupational Environment Scale (Osipow &Spokane,1983), (2) the Maslach Burnout Inventory (Maslach & Jackson, 1981b) and (3) the Minnesota Work Satisfaction Questionnaire(Weis et al.,1967). The level of job satisfaction of supervisors was found to be high, whereas levels of their occupational stress werefound to be moderate. The levels of emotional burnout and personal accomplishment were also found to be moderate but the level ofdepersonalization was found to be low among the supervisors.
