Background: A mixed-method study of role stress and work intensity among nurse practitioners (NPs) in mechanical circulatory support (MCS) programs in the United States reported a qualitative data related to burnout. We empirically investigated this phenomenon by pursuing the following specific aims: (1) describe levels of personal burnout (PB), work-related (WB) burnout, and client-related burnout (CB) and quality of work life (QOWL) among MCS-NPs; (2) determine the relationship between burnout and QOWL variables; and (3) identify which type of burnout is a predictor of QOWL. Methods: We employed an exploratory correlational research design. Demographics, work characteristics, and psychometrically robust measures of burnout and QOWL were completed by 47 MCS-NPs from various regions of the United States. Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Higher levels of burnout (PB, WB, and CB) were associated with lower levels of QOWL ( r = −.52 to −.64, P < .001). Of the 3 types of burnout, WB burnout showed a significant predictor of QOWL ( R2 = .44, P < .01). Multiple regression models showed that a 1 point increase in mean score of WB would decrease a mean QOWL score by 0.64 after controlling the effect of PB and CB. Some dimensions of QOWL were associated with work/hospital characteristics ( r > −.30, P values <.05). Conclusion: Work-related burnout is negatively associated with low QOWL among NPs. Hospital/work environment was contributing factors to high burnout and low QOWL. Further research is needed to confirm the findings including the effect of burnout and QOWL on patient and ventricular assist device program outcomes.

Quality Of Work

The American labor force is presently undergoing an evolutionary change which contains certain implications with respect to the ways in which organizations are designed and managed. The principal trends which have emerged are: the changing composition of the labor force, changing attitudes and values of the individual worker, and the emergence of alternative management systems (herein termed quality of work life programs) as a response to cope with this evolution. Many of these programs are concerned with varying the structure and design of the organization, redesign of the work environment, and the adoption of alternative management styles and methods. In an era of slower growth, declining productivity, and stiffer world wide competition, the solution to “people problems” is now just as consequential as is the introduction of new technologies and the generation of capital. Evidence is rapidly mounting that quality of work life programs do appear to be of help in achieving the desirable goals of improved quality and productivity, and increased job satisfaction on the part of the worker. Such programs are not, of course, unique to American organizations. This symposium includes a discussion of programs employed in West Germany and in Japan as well as in the United States. American programs presented include those of the subsidiary of a Japanese firm, and those of two large, highly successful organizations with outstanding records of employee relations and quality of work life programs. Time will be available for audience interaction and questions.

Quality of work life and job satisfaction is very important in an organization so that it attracts the attention of researchers. There are a number of articles on the relationship between quality of work life and job satisfaction, especially the Asian context; but there is  a dearth of literature review on such relationship.The purpose of this review is to examine the relationship between quality of work life and job satisfaction in Asia. Based on the results of the literature review from various countries and organizations in Asia, we find that quality of work life and job satisfaction have a positive and significant relationship in organizations in various countries in the Asian region.

Literature Reviews

Objective of this paper was to observe trends and developments in quality of work-life research throughout the decades. Previous researchers mostly focused on systematic and general literature reviews. In this paper bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review were combined to observe the trends and developments in quality of work-life research. An electronic Scopus database search initially produced of 867 documents on quality of work-life. Further purposive screening reduced the documents to 752 altogether. Furthermore, a detailed literature review of top 10 most cited publications throughout the decades of quality of work-life research was conducted, to explore construct development, antecedents, and outcomes of quality of work-life. Bibliometric analysis revealed that most of the research was produced from United States, and in areas of business, management, and accounting. Literature review revealed that from 1970s to 1980s, the focus of quality of work-life research was mainly on construct development. From 1990s onward, researchers mostly focused on identifying antecedents and outcomes of quality of work-life at organizational and employee level. Findings of this research suggests various employee and organizational level factors which have been neglected by most influential studies of quality of work-life throughout the decades. Future researchers should focus on these factors to motivate government and organizations to incorporate these factors in their system, and to support the quality of work-life research.
