Abstract Background Growing evidence has suggested that job satisfaction in the health-care system can affect productivity, the quality of service, and patient safety. Knowledge regarding job satisfaction of health workers and its determinants is valuable to health-care managers for decision making in the field of personnel policy. This study was aimed to assess job satisfaction among health workers in public hospitals in Belgrade, Serbia and identify its associated factors. Methods This was a cross-sectional study, carried out within 24 hours, in December 2018, as a part of a national survey, which is conducted annually in all health care institutions in Serbia. Data were collected by self-administered structured questionnaire, which was distributed to all health workers who were at work at the time of the survey (11,588 health workers in 26 public hospitals in Belgrade). The completed questionnaires were returned by 9,203 health workers, which constituted the response rate of 79.4%. Multivariable logistic regression was applied to identify factors significantly and independently associated with a higher level of job satisfaction. Results Overall, 31.4% of the respondents were satisfied with their job. Age less than 35 years [AOR = 1.40; 95% CI (1.18-1.67)], no work stress [AOR = 2.66; 95% CI (1.94-3.65)], satisfaction with time for accomplishment of tasks [AOR = 1.92; 95% CI (1.64-2.26)], satisfaction with recognition and value of health workers’ engagement [AOR = 1.79; 95% CI (1.51-2.13)], and satisfaction with leadership style and work organization [AOR = 1.90; 95% CI (1.60-2.26)] were identified as determinants with highest influence at job satisfaction. Conclusions Less than third of health workers in Belgrade’s hospitals were satisfied with their job, while satisfaction with various aspects of the job, age, and work stress, were identified as predictors. The results of this study could be useful in proposing strategies to improve job satisfaction of health workers. Key messages The job satisfaction of health workers in Belgrade’s hospitals is low. Health-care managers should pay attention to create an environment that promotes job satisfaction and reduces work stress.

Background: Considering the significant role of nurses in health care and the importance of commitment in public health, the aim of this study was to examine the association between work-related stress, and job satisfaction and commitment among nurses. Methods: This cross-sectional study has been performed among 100 nurses working in a teaching hospital affiliated to Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, northern Iran, in 2015. The participants were assessed by standard questionnaires on work-related stress, and job satisfaction and commitment. Descriptive indexes were analysed via regression and correlation. Results: The participants were aged between 25 and 45 years. In total, 85% of nurses held a bachelor degree and the rest were postgraduates. Most of the nurses (77%) had experience in their job for more than 10 years. Total score of mean job commitment showed a high score among nurses (102.9±8.9); job satisfaction also showed a mean of (261.6±27.44). Total score of work-related stress was (112.0±11.99). The results indicated that job satisfaction and work-related stress explained 54% of variance in job commitment. The overall job satisfaction (Beta = 0.471, p<0.05) and overall work stress (Beta = -0.635, p<0.102) influenced job commitment. Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that work stress and job satisfaction affects job commitment among nurses. Therefore, it is advisable to pay more attention to job satisfaction and stress in these sensitive occupations, to promote commitment and job efficacy.

Abstract BackgroundWork motivation and job satisfaction are linked with the performance and retention of health workforce. Primary health facilities, mostly comprising mid-level health workers, serve the majority of the population in Nepal. The aim of the study was to assess the determinants of job satisfaction in relation to socio-demographics, job characteristics and work motivation status among health workers working in primary health facilities. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in Jhapa district in Eastern Nepal covering 40 primary health facilities. The data collection involved 151 self-administered questionnaire interviews and 16 in-depth interviews with health workers. Mean differences in work motivation among those satisfied and unsatisfied with their job was examined using t tests. Logistic regression with 95% confidence interval at p<0.05 was used for identifying associated factors with job satisfaction. Thematic analysis was done to analyze qualitative data. ResultsAmong the study participants, 78.2% were either auxiliary health workers or auxiliary nurse midwives. The median employment period of health workers was 174 months. On the 5-point Likert scale, the mean score of work motivation was highest for team work (3.99) and lowest for financial motivation (2.21). Higher age of health workers and satisfaction with career development, and financial motivation were significantly associated with job satisfaction. The qualitative findings also revealed that the majority of the health workers were not satisfied with the existing career development opportunities, availability of resources in health facility, or financial motivation. ConclusionSatisfaction with career development and financial motivation significantly increased job satisfaction among health workers. Resource availability in health facility, recognition of work and management support affected work motivation and job satisfaction of health workers. A focus on improving work environment through increased financial motivation and career development opportunities as well as investing in primary health facilities with increased resource support is recommended to improve job satisfaction.

Health workers account for the largest share of public expenditures on health and play an important role in improving the quality of health services. There is concern that poor health worker performance limits the effectiveness of health systems strengthening efforts. A cross-sectional study was conducted from September to October 2016 in Addis Ababa health centers. Data were collected from 420 healthcare workers using a pretested and structured questionnaire by trained data collectors. EPI Info 7 was used for data entry, and analysis was done by SPSS version 20. Bivariate and multivariate logistic analyses were used to identify factors associated with the outcome variable and to control confounders. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The overall job satisfaction level accounts for 53.8% with 95% CI of (48.9%, 59.0%). Marital status and professional qualification were the potent predictors of job satisfaction. Respondents who never married were 1.65 times more likely to be satisfied in their job than those married or divorced (AOR: 1.65 (95% CI: 1.02, 2.66)). Laboratory professionals and nursing professionals were 2.74 and 1.97 times more likely to be satisfied in their job compared to health officers (AOR: 2.47 (95% CI: 1.14, 6.59) and AOR: 1.97 (95% CI: 1.12, 3.48), respectively). More than half of the healthcare workers in the study area were satisfied in their job. Marital status and healthcare workers’ profession type were predictors of job satisfaction. Research studies indicate that there is a positive relationship between performance and job satisfaction. Accordingly, the present study aimed at determining the level of job satisfaction of health workers and its associated factors in the health centers of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
