Abstract: This paper aims to investigate the important factors affecting job satisfaction and motivation of teachers in college. The statistical population of this study includes 67 teachers at Zhejiang University of Science and Technology who have answered the questionnaire. The results of the study show the group of people whose age is above 46 show greater levels of job satisfaction and factors such as work experience have an impact on job satisfaction. Furthermore, we figure out the most essential factor is an increase in the teachers and professors salary. The study also showed that teachers are satisfied with work conditions and have identified that they need to raise their teaching level by further studies. According to the further analysis, a strict evaluation system does not give a suitable result in improving motivation.

Job satisfaction has fallen among doctors, and beyond lack of pay parity that averages 25%, female physician job satisfiers differ from male colleagues. Health systems can build upon female physicians' confidence in their abilities to communicate with patients, show empathy, build trust, and elicit patient compliance with treatment plans. Systems must attend to work conditions for young and female cohorts, thereby retaining half of the workforce offering critical care to 7.8 billion people. Ordinal logistic regression was used to analyze data gathered in the U.S. by the Center for Studying Health System Change. Data were used to build a predictive statistical model in concert with independent variables linked to generational and job satisfaction literature. This study revealed statistically significant correlations between factors not only by gender, but also by generational membership. Statistically significant factors affecting job satisfaction among female physicians include provision of quality care to all patients, adequate time spent with patients and income.

Background: Job satisfaction is a major factor in nurse retention and the de­livery of high quality care. Hence, aim of this study was to find out the factors affecting job satisfaction among nurses working in the teaching hospital, Chit­wan. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional research design was used and a total 135 nurses who were working for at least 3 months in the Chitwan Medical Teaching Hospital were taken as study sample. Simple random sampling tech­nique was used to select the desired sample. Pre-tested structured self-admi­nistered questionniare with job satisfaction scale consisting eight domains was used to collect the data. Obtained data were entered into SPSS version 20.0 for window and analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (chi-square test). Results: The findings of the study revealed that more than half (57.85%) of the nurses were satisfied with their job. Nurses’ job satisfaction was higher on organization and administration policies (4.18±0.04) and least on salary and benefits (3.01±0.19) they were receiving from the institution. The significance influencing factors of job satisfaction were professional qualification (p=0.04), total work experience in nursing (p=0.004), working ward/unit (p=0.014), des­ignation (p=0.007), number of patient assigned in general ward (p=<0.001) and leadership style in the ward (p=<0.001). Conclusions: Considerable percentage of nurses are not satisfied with their job. Hence hospital management and professional associations need to ad­dress the identified factors to enhance the job satisfaction among nurses work­ing in a teaching hospital.

Healthcare Reforms

Objective China launched new healthcare reforms in 2009 and several policies targeted village clinics, which affected village doctors’ income, training and duties. The aim of the present study was to assess village doctors’ job satisfaction during the reforms and to explore factors affecting job satisfaction. Methods Using a stratified multistage cluster sampling process, 935 village doctors in Jiangxi Province were surveyed with a self-administered questionnaire that collected demographic information and contained a job satisfaction scale and questions regarding their work situation and individual perceptions of the new healthcare reforms. Descriptive analysis, Pearson’s Chi-squared test and binary logistic regression were used to identify village doctors’ job satisfaction and the factors associated with their job satisfaction. Results Only 12.72% of village doctors were either satisfied or very satisfied with their jobs and the top three items leading to dissatisfaction were pay and the amount of work that had to be done, opportunities for job promotion and work conditions. Marriage, income, intention to leave, satisfaction with learning and training, social status, relationship with patients and satisfaction with the new healthcare reforms were significantly associated with job satisfaction (P < 0.05). Conclusions China is facing critical challenges with regard to village doctors because of their low job satisfaction. For future healthcare reforms, policy makers should pay more attention to appropriate remuneration and approaches that incentivise village doctors to achieve the goals of the health reforms. What is known about the topic? Village doctors act as gatekeepers at the bottom tier of the rural health system. However, the policies of the new healthcare reform initiatives in China were centred on improving the quality of care delivered to the rural population and reducing fast-growing medical costs. There have been limited studies on village doctors’ reactions to these reforms. What does this paper add? The findings of the present study indicate that in the process of implementing the new healthcare reforms, village doctors’ overall job satisfaction is low and most respondents are dissatisfied with the reforms. The factors affecting job satisfaction include income, training, social status, relationship with patients and satisfaction with the reforms. What are the implications for practitioners? Health reform policy makers should ensure village doctors feel appropriately remunerated and are motivated while aiming to reduce the financial burden on patients. The views of stakeholders (i.e. patients and village doctors) should be considered when designing future health reforms.

Organisational Effectiveness

Orientation: Globally, people engage in work and sell their services to an organisation in exchange for compensation. This compensation can have a significant effect on employees’ attitude towards their work, resulting in either job satisfaction or job dissatisfaction. A high level of job satisfaction can increase organisational effectiveness and, subsequently, the organisation’s performance, whereas job dissatisfaction can cause employees to be less motivated, which can in turn decrease their productivity, effectiveness and individual performance.Research purpose: This study was conducted with the aim to investigate undergraduate students’ perceptions of the factors affecting job satisfaction.Motivation for the study: Currently, there is a paucity of published research on the views of undergraduate students on the factors affecting job satisfaction.Research approach/design and method: The study took a positivistic research approach, and a quantitative design was used. A stratified quota sampling technique was employed to select the respondents for the study; a certain quota was met in terms of race, gender and faculty of study. In total, 270 undergraduate students participated in the study.Main findings: The empirical results indicated no significant association between the demographic variables (previous work experience, gender, race and field of study) and almost all occupational dimensions of job satisfaction, working conditions and recognition. However, medium to large positive relations were measured between the dimensions of job satisfaction, working conditions and recognition. It was evident from the study that all the dimensions measured are considered important for obtaining job satisfaction in the workplace.Practical and managerial implications: It is important for managers to get an understanding of the views of young people on work-related issues in order to create an understanding of young people’s needs and aspirations, as they are the future permanent labour force, managers and leaders of a country.Contribution/value-add: The study brought to light the views of undergraduate students on the factors affecting job satisfaction.

Introduction: A persistent shortage of physicians and relatively high attrition (>10% over 7 years) have been longstanding challenges for Bhutan despite efforts at improvement. Little is known about physicians’ job satisfaction. The study was done to assess level of job satisfaction amongst physicians in Bhutan and identify factors affecting it, thereby be able to better understand factors affecting physician retention. Methods: A national, cross-sectional study on job satisfaction of all Bhutanese physicians was conducted in 2016. Physicians were defined as satisfied if they answered yes to >50% of general survey questions about job satisfaction and and associations between demographic or job characteristics (e.g., married vs. unmarried, clinical vs. non- clinical) and job satisfaction were examined. Physicians were also queried about specific elements of their jobs (e.g., pay, working conditions) and explored associations between demographic or job characteristics and job elements. Results: Of 147 physicians who completed the job survey, 94 (64%) were classified as satisfied. There were significant differences in job satisfaction between married and unmarried physicians (72% vs 49%, p=0·01), specialists and generalists (73% vs 55%, p=0·04), nonclinical and clinical physicians (89% vs 61%, p=0·02), and physicians in referral and district hospitals (75% vs 48%, p <0·01). Across all demographic and job characteristics, salary satisfaction was low (11%). In multivariable analysis, non-clinicians had significantly greater satisfaction than clinicians with salary, annual leave, and work-family balance. Physicians in referral hospitals had significantly greater satisfaction than physicians in district facilities with work hours and working conditions. Conclusion: Survey findings suggest that, although job satisfaction appeared high, improved physician retention may require increased pay, opportunities for promotion to desired settings and job categories, and improved staffing and work conditions in district healthcare facilities.
