“…The coefficients of determination were 11% in both Models 4 and 5 after entering intrinsic work values (Table 5), which suggested that the effects of intrinsic work values on PEW were the same or more than those of the job characteristics. The results of the main effects were consistent with previous studies (Knoop, 1994; Moniarou‐Papaconstantinou & Triantafyllou, 2015). The finding that there is no moderating effect suggests that autonomy and feedback may be positively associated with PEW of PNs regardless of their intrinsic work values.…”

This study compared the quality of work between part-time and full-time nurses and investigated the relationship between quality of work and satisfaction with the work itself among part-time nurses. Quality of work was measured by specific work content and job characteristics. It was hypothesized that work content would affect satisfaction mediated by job characteristics. Furthermore, the moderating effects of intrinsic work values on the relationship between job characteristics and satisfaction were examined. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 444 part-time and 795 full-time nurses working in Japanese hospital wards in 2017. The Mann-Whitney U test, χ 2 test, and hierarchical multiple regressions were used. Work content differed between part-time and full-time nurses; however, job characteristics and satisfaction showed little difference. Work content was not associated with satisfaction mediated by job characteristics. Within the job characteristics, autonomy and feedback had positive effects on the satisfaction of part-time nurses, whereas interaction with work values was insignificant. When assigning work, it is important to allow part-time nurses to experience higher levels of autonomy and feedback regardless of their intrinsic work values.

“…These studies have found that librarians tend to have a relatively high level of job satisfaction. The most frequently mentioned component of librarian job satisfaction is the intrinsic characteristics of the job itself (Leckie & Brett, 1997;Millard, 2018;Mirfakhrai, 2008;Moniarou-Papaconstantinou & Triantafyllou, 2015;Morgan, 2014;Sierpe, 1999;Togia, Koustelios, & Tsigilis, 2004). Judging by the results of these studies, librarians tend to find their work interesting and rewarding and to be highly committed to their career.…”

“…Apart from the job itself, the most frequently mentioned factors contributing to librarian job satisfaction are relationships and support from supervisors and colleagues (Elia, 1979;Leckie & Brett, 1997;Lim, 2008;Mirfakhrai, 2008;Morgan, 2014;Sierpe, 1999;Togia et al, 2004). Other factors include the ability to use job skills meaningfully (Elia, 1979;Millard, 2018;Moniarou-Papaconstantinou & Triantafyllou, 2015), job autonomy and the ability to use professional judgement (Leckie & Brett, 1997;Lim, 2008;Moniarou-Papaconstantinou & Triantafyllou, 2015), meaningful participation in planning and decision-making (Horenstein, 1993;Togia et al, 2004), and faculty status (Horenstein, 1993;Leckie & Brett, 1997). These studies help identify factors contributing specifically to job satisfaction in a library work environment.…”

Although there has been increasing attention to diversity in librarianship, little attention has been paid to librarians with disabilities. This study uses a mixed method approach, using results from a survey and in-depth follow-up interviews, to investigate some of the characteristics of Canadian university librarians with disabilities, their job satisfaction, their perceptions of their workplace climate for diversity and accessibility, and the factors that influence their workplace perceptions. Although librarians with disabilities report a generally high level of job satisfaction, they are less satisfied with some areas related to workplace stress and job flexibility than librarians without disabilities. Librarians with disabilities also report less confidence that their workplace is inclusive, values diversity, and is understanding of disability-related issues. Factors influencing the work experience of university librarians with disabilities include a collegial environment, supportive colleagues and supervisors, job flexibility and autonomy, clear priorities and reporting structures, reasonable expectations about workload, time pressures and short deadlines, effective structures and processes to ensure accessibility, an accessible physical environment, and, most importantly, an understanding of disability and awareness of disability-related workplace issues.

“…However, it is well known that only a minority of workers actually state their dissatisfaction, which may lead to an underestimated prevalence of dissatisfaction at work. High levels of satisfaction are observed even in adverse situations, including accidents, high rates of absenteeism, and inadequate working conditions (29)(30)(31) . It is necessary to consider other factors relating to work environment that have been identified in the literature but are not contemplated by the WAI, which only covers the aspects related to the worker.…”

O impacto de fatores psicossociais do trabalho sobre a saúde e a capacidade de trabalho dos agentes de trânsito municipais El impacto de los factores psicosociales del trabajo para la salud y la capacidad de trabajo de agentes de tráfico municipales ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the impact of work-related psychosocial factors on the health and work ability of municipal transit agents. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample of 118 subjects at the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, during 2014. They answered two questionnaires: Work Ability Index-WAI and Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire-COPSOQ. These questionnaires collected information regarding how well a worker is able to perform his or her work; and on the psychosocial factors related to their work, health status, and welfare. The statistical analyses were carried out using the calculation of central tendency and dispersion measures. Results: The analysis of objectivity, acceptance, practicability, sensitivity and content validity of the questionnaires as a whole did not show any problematic result, with some limitations regarding their length. A significant association between WAI and COPSOQ was observed. The prevalence of good capacity for work was among the subjects aged between 31 and 50 years (p=0.012). However, concerning the job satisfaction, 28 (23.73%) denoted being satisfied, 74 (62.71%) partly satisfied, and 16 (13.56%) were dissatisfied. The ability index was 36.8 points, and the prevalence of good capacity for work was 76.27%. Conclusion: The results revealed that better physical and mental health are associated with greater work ability, representing that, the better the worker's health, the greater his work ability. The psychosocial work environment and, especially, the decision-making autonomy were thus important determinants of self-rated quality of life in this group of transit agents.
