Introduction: Job satisfaction is a cognitive, affective and evaluative reaction towards a job. It is closely linked to an individual’s behaviour in the work place. Health Care Professionals of Combined Military Hospitalsface diverse stressful situations while accomplishing their professional commitments. They often concede job satisfaction as a stressor stemming to their work place. Objectives: To findout the Job Satisfaction level among the Healthcare Professionals of CMH in Bangladesh. Materials and Methods: A total of 574 respondents were selected from five CMHs using simple random sampling considering doctors, nurses, paramedic medical assistants and technologists as the study population. The level of job satisfaction was elucidated by certain parameters and occupational stress was measured by Health Professions Stress Inventory. Results: A high proportion of respondents were found to be satisfied or highly satisfied in regards to work prospects (61.4%), people they worked with (86.5%), physical working conditions (79.4%), the way their department was run (80.7%), the way their abilities were used (78.2%) and their interest and skill involved in their job (77.4%). On the contrary, a marginal majority (56.7%) were dissatisfied in regards to their salary. 32.4% were found to be not at all worried about losing their job and more than a half (60.8%) mentioned that they feel fairly secured financially for the next 10 years.A significant relationship has been found between job satisfaction and stress (p<0.05). Conclusion: Professional uniqueness contributes significantly to job satisfaction. Particular improvements in working life can be materialized through scientific planning, maintenance and optimization, valuation of human resources and necessary organizational support.

Negative Effects

Because of a perceived decline in staff morale, the UK National Health Service has begun to routinely assess the extent to which commitment to the National Health Service may aid staff retention. While a number of studies have investigated the role of employee commitment in relation to staff turnover, no research to date has empirically tested if staff commitment to the NHS could protect job satisfaction from the effects of high job demands, and if this varies according to age. Using latent variable path analysis, this novel study examined this question among a national sample of Healthcare Professionals Allied to Medicine in the National Health Service. The results indicate that the negative effects of high job demands on job satisfaction were fully mediated by commitment to the National Health Service, but age mattered. Among the over 45s and over 55s, commitment to the National Health Service acted as an effective buffer against the negative effects of job demands on job satisfaction, but this effect was not as strong among the 35–44 age group. The broader policy implications of these findings are that age sensitive policies to support NHS workforce retention are needed. Also, pro-social institutions who employ Healthcare Professionals Allied to Medicine should develop policies for inspiring commitment to that institution, as it could help them with the demands of the job, and may even encourage more skilled workers to work longer.

Antecedents And Consequences

Orientation: The South African healthcare industry is facing significant challenges to retain quality healthcare professionals to deliver services in rural areas.Research purpose: The main purpose of this study was to compare the antecedents and consequences of employee satisfaction for healthcare professionals in urban and rural areas to establish if there are distinguishing factors that can better inform human resource (HR) management to improve job satisfaction and service delivery. KwaZulu-Natal province was chosen because of its number and proximity of rural and urban healthcare facilities.Motivation for the study: A holistic perspective, focusing on both urban and rural South African settings, on how the healthcare sector can retain healthcare workers through employee satisfaction and service delivery is lacking.Research approach/design and method: The research design for the study is a mixed-method sequential design. A quantitative survey using a structured questionnaire inclusive of the constructs such as work environment, work satisfaction, job satisfaction, employee retention and service quality was administered to a sample of urban and rural healthcare professionals in KwaZulu-Natal (N = 405). In addition, the researchers conducted three focus group discussions (N = 28).Main findings: The quantitative results showed that urban and rural sample groups differed significantly in terms of their satisfaction with work duties, compensation, career development, service delivery and turnover intentions. Communalism was found to play a major role in retention and quality of service delivery of healthcare professionals in rural settings.Practical/managerial implications: The findings of this study require from management to understand the differential factors between urban and rural settings in service quality and staff retention. Human resource practitioners are encouraged to understand the differentiators of job satisfaction and service delivery in an urban and rural context and develop conducive work environments that allow healthcare workers to execute their tasks effectively.Contribution/value-add: This study provides a unique perspective of the antecedents and outcomes of employee satisfaction for both urban and rural healthcare sector workers and indicates that context is important.

Overall Job Satisfaction

Introduction The concept of overall job satisfaction has recently received a lot of attention in the healthcare human resource management, particularly in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia faces the biggest challenges in providing qualified healthcare workers and also local health care professionals, such as physicians, nurses and pharmacists. Job satisfaction/dissatisfaction in terms of salary package, personal growth and professional support may have resulted in high healthcare workers turnover rate within the healthcare system in Saudi Arabia.Method For this study, a total of 400 self-administered questionnaires were conveniently distributed among the RNs and QHPs in both public and private hospitals in Jeddah, one of the major cities of Saudi Arabia.Analysis Quantitative analysis was carried out on the data, which related to 400 healthcare professionals. This study used a-two way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) to test the differences by using SPSS version 16.Results Results suggested that QHPs were more contented and satisfied with their salary package as compared to RNs. However, both professions were dissatisfied with the personal growth, and professional support they received from their employers. Some implications of the findings for managers/administrators to practice are discussed.Conclusion This study sheds some lights on the issues pertaining to the overall job satisfaction among the healthcare professionals in Saudi Arabia.
