BackgroundState survey agencies are experiencing an increase in work requirements and surveyor staffing instability thereby compromising organizational performance. No information has been published about surveyor perceptions of the work environment and job satisfaction to inform management interventions for improvement.ObjectiveThe purposes of this study were to evaluate state health facility surveyor perceptions of the work environment and to formulate management recommendations for improving recruitment and retention.MethodsThe Theory of Structural Empowerment (SE) served as the framework for this study which employed a nonexperimental descriptive survey design. Data were obtained using the Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire-II, the Job Satisfaction Survey, and open-ended questions. Participants were surveyors employed by a state survey agency in northeast United States (N = 52).ResultsSurveyors reported moderate and ambivalent overall SE and job satisfaction, respectively. Significant differences among bureaus, divisions, disciplines/backgrounds, and level of nursing education were identified.ConclusionsSurveyor perceptions of SE and job satisfaction are suboptimal and could be improved with modifications to the work environment.Implications for NursingManagers should assess how staff perceive the work environment and implement data-driven, evidence-based interventions that can reduce attrition and improve organizational efficiency and effectiveness.

Introduction: The literature demonstrates that little research has been conducted to explore job satisfaction among nurses working in obstetric units in Kenya. The perception of job satisfaction by nurses is influenced by the environment in which they work.Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used to carry out the study. The study tools included the work quality index (WQI) and the demographic data questionnaires. Convenience sampling method was. Data were analyzed using the SPSS version 20. The items in the WQI were organized into six subscales and Cronbach’s alpha was calculated to obtain the reliability coefficient of each subscale. An independent t-test was used to compare the subscales scores for the male and female participants. ANOVA was conducted to compare the level of satisfaction with the six subscales and the participants’ characteristics. Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient was calculated to assess if there was any relationships, the magnitude and the direction of the relationship between the six subscales.Results: Nurses are most satisfied with the perception that the work associated with their position provides them with the opportunity to be of service to others and least satisfied with receiving enough time to complete indirect patient care tasks. There are no significant differences in the overall level of satisfaction between males and females though males are more satisfied with autonomy of practice and professional role enactment. The six subscales strongly and positively correlate with one another.Conclusions: Nurses working in the obstetric units are relatively dissatisfied with most of the aspects of the work environment. The more educated nurses are less satisfied than less educated nurses. Since all aspects of job satisfaction are interrelated, emphasis should be put on each of them so as to create a satisfying work environment for nurses working in obstetric units.

Employee turnover has become a key performance indicator for many organizations as they struggle to retain talented employees. The negative impact of turnover on organizational performance has continually forced organizational leaders to seek better ways of retaining valuable employees. The relationship between man and work has always attracted the attention of philosophers. A major part of men’s life is spent at work. Work is social reality and social expectation to which men seem to conform. It not only provides status to the individual but also binds him to the society. An employee who is satisfied with his job would perform his duties well and be committed to his job, and subsequently to his organization. This paper examines relationship among job satisfaction, organizational commitment and employees’ turnover intentions at Unilever Corporation in Nigeria. The data for this study was collected from 117 employees currently working at Unilever Nigeria PLC using the survey method via the questionnaire.
