A survey of seven teaching hospitals was conducted to investigate job satisfaction perceived by foodservice (FS) and clinical nutrition (CN) personnel in managerial roles and foodservice workers (FSW) in nonmanagerial roles. Three different department structures and demographic characteristics were investigated. Survey instruments were adapted from the 36‐item Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS). Data were analyzed from 260 respondents using standard statistical procedures. Using a Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 5 = strongly agree), total job satisfaction was 3.50, 3.35 and 3.13 for the CN, FS and FSW groups, respectively. Satisfaction with the type of work done was the strongest predictor of total job satisfaction for all three groups. Regardless of managerial or nonmanagerial level, individuals working in foodservice departments in the middle of separating foodservice and clinical functions, were more satisfied with pay and contingent rewards than all other respondents. As organizational changes occur in foodservice facilities, this survey instrument can readily assess their impact on all employees.
