“…The desired levels of discretion in organisations' work patterns (variety and flexibility) may reflect the need to feel in control and achieve self-satisfaction in task performance (Zeffane, 1994). According to Droussiotis and Austin (2007), the following factors influence job satisfaction:…”

The aim of the study was to determine the influence of the implementation of job rotation on employees’ perceived job satisfaction, and to identify the key factors that would influence the adoption of a job rotation strategy by the Registrar’s environment of a University of Technology, South Africa. A qualitative research approach was chosen for this study. Primary data was collected through a combined focus and nominal group technique. The Registrar’s environment at the University of Technology was used for the research. The Registrar’s structure consists of three departments, of which the staff of only two departments were used in the focus groups. Purposive sampling was employed to invite 34 employees from the two departments, across five post levels. Three focus groups consisting of 22 participants (six to ten participants per group) were conducted. Methods used to capture data included digital recording and note taking. The raw data was converted into transcriptions, and analysed and interpreted through the Tesch’s mechanics of interpretational qualitative content analysis. From the research conducted it was evident that the general feeling of participants was that the implementation of a job rotation strategy by the Registrar’s environment would positively impact job satisfaction, should certain key factors be taken into consideration. A job rotation strategy should be well communicated to all employees and the involvement of all stakeholders, including employees, should be sought when such a strategy is developed.

“…Among managerial staff, past experience with computers correlates strongly with current usage. Experience also has an effect on the actual level of usage of information technology, as do a range of other factorsfrom availability of training to the exact nature of the job held [4,11]. Though the introduction of information technology can improve productivity, it may also decrease job satisfaction [9].…”

Management automation in Saudi Arabia: a case study of a developing country

The use of computer-based systems by managers in developing countries is often limited by lack of support. One aspect of such support -financial provision -tends to be less of a hindrance in Saudi Arabia than in many developing countries. The study of Saudi managers presented here shows that there are, consequently, similarities between computer-based activities in Saudi Arabia and the UK. There are also significant differences. Saudi managers tend to be more enthusiastic than their British counterparts about the value of computer-based systems. A factor here is the more recent application of such systems in Saudi Arabia. One drawback is that the national networking infrastructure in Saudi Arabia is less well-developed than in the UK, so that electronic communication external to firms is more limited. This is reflected in the relatively low use of electronic mail made by Saudi managers. Despite the availability of funding in Saudi Arabia, the country still suffers from a computer skills shortage. Consequently, Saudi firms are more dependent than British firms on external advice concerning computer systems and their use. These differences have implications for the development of computer-based systems in other developing countries.

“…Unsurprisingly, in the telecommunications industry, back when IT was much less ubiquitous, computer use was associated with job satisfaction. 6 In the 1980s and 1990s, technology use started to be incorporated into measures of job satisfaction, often measured with tools such as the Job Satisfaction Index. 7 However, many of the scales from that time simply deal with the hours of use 8 and would be outdated in modern clinical practice, where usability and the ability to incorporate the computer into complex consultations may be much more important.…”

Getting on with your computer is associated with job satisfaction in primary care: entrants to primary care should be assessed for their competency with electronic patient record systems

Job satisfaction in primary care is associated with getting on with your computer. Many primary care professionals spend longer interacting with their computer than anything else in their day. However, the computer often makes demands rather than be an aid or supporter that has learned its user's preferences. The use of electronic patient record (EPR) systems is underrepresented in the assessment of entrants to primary care, and in definitions of the core competencies of a family physician/general practitioner. We call for this to be put right: for the use of the EPR to support direct patient care and clinical governance to be given greater prominence in training and assessment. In parallel, policy makers should ensure that the EPR system use is orientated to ensuring patients receive evidence-based care, and EPR system suppliers should explore how their systems might better support their clinician users, in particular learning their preferences.
