“…The results of previous studies analyzing the effect of age and tenure on the job satisfaction of nurses are inconclusive. While the study of Irish nurses showed that both these factors correlated positively with the level of satisfaction with work [22], the results of recently published survey of Iranian nurses suggest that the level of job satisfaction decreases with age [19].…”

“…Thus, our findings imply that in the case of many women, the job of a nurse may be associated with excess physical and psychological workload, and contrary to a well-established stereotype, it may rather be a "masculine" profession. The results of few comparative studies of job satisfaction levels presented by male and female nurses suggest that although this parameter is usually lower among men, this mainly reflects financial conditions, rather than the workload itself [18][19][20][21]. Age turned out to be another demographic variable that exerted significant effect of the level of satisfaction with work presented by the surveyed nurses.…”

Background: The aim of this study has been to determine if sociodemographic factors: age, sex and duration of employment as well as the presence of chronic comorbidities exert significant effect on subjective assessment of psychosocial working conditions of nurses. Moreover, we analyzed whether the abovementioned variables influenced the level of absenteeism at work during a year preceding the study. Material and Methods: The study, conducted between December 2012 and January 2013, included 789 nurses employed at public and private healthcare institutions in Białystok. The participants were surveyed by means of the "Psychosocial Working Conditions" questionnaire. Results: Women accounted for significantly higher scores of the Desired Changes Scale and significantly lower values of the Well-being Scale as compared to men. Respondents' age and duration of employment correlated significantly with the scores of the Demands and Desired Changes Scales. Moreover, we documented significant inverse correlations between the age and tenure and the scores of the Social Support and Well-being Scales. Furthermore, duration of employment was inversely correlated with the results of the Control Scale. The respondents with chronic conditions showed significantly higher scores of the Desired Changes Scale and significantly lower values of the Control and Well-being Scales. We found an inverse correlation between the number of sick leave days and the value of the Well-being Scale, which was also the case with a subset of nurses without chronic conditions. Conclusions: Similar to other professional groups, a nursing team management requires the use of human resources management techniques and identification of a person being responsible for coordination of the group and diagnosis of its psychosocial needs.

“…(), Atefi et al. () and Emami & Nasrabadi () who also found that a high workload was either a main reason of job dissatisfaction or a major stress factor at work for nurses. The patient‐to‐nurse ratio and, consequently, in nurses' workloads could be due to the current nursing shortage faced by hospitals in Iran.…”

“…However, a study conducted in the CCU sections of Shanghai hospitals by Liu et al showed that more than half of the nurses were dissatisfied with their jobs [18]. Atefi et al conducted a study in the city of Mashhad (Iran) and reported that only 28.7% of nurses were satisfied with their jobs [19]. Such diversity in the results can be explained by the cultural situations of the society and the facilities that organizations provide for the nurses.…”
