“…For research on job satisfaction to be useful, it is imperative that job satisfaction scales are precise in measuring what they are designed to assess (Spector, 1997;Hirschfeld, 2000) and the understanding of the nature and specificities of contextual job satisfaction is an important first step in defining adapted and efficient managerial policies (Ferreira et al, 2009).…”

Job Satisfaction is usually treated as a collection of feelings or affective responses associated with the job situation, or "simply how people feel about different aspects of their jobs" (Spector, 1997: 2). In 1967, Weiss et al. developed the short version of the MSQ -Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, a 5-point Likert-type scale with 20 items. This scale has been widely used in the literature being a well-known and stable over the time instrument with previous researches yielding excellent coefficient alpha.In this study we developed an exploratory factor analysis to assess the factor structure of this scale in a Hospital Workers sample, with N=140, recurring to IBM -PASW and encountered a 2-factor structure. Following this procedure, we conducted a Confirmatory Factor Analysis using AMOS, where our exploratory structure was compared with other structures found in previous studies.This work aims at improving our understanding of the nature and assessment of Job Satisfaction in the Portuguese healthcare context, providing a more stable ground for future research in this area.

This study aimed to assess the effects of a psychoeducational intervention, designed to improve direct care workers' stress, burnout and job satisfaction, and person-centered communicative behavior in people with dementia. A pretest-posttest control group design was conducted in 4 aged-care facilities. Two experimental facilities received a psychoeducational intervention, and 2 control facilities received an education only. Data were gathered from 53 care workers at baseline, immediately, and 6 months after the intervention, through self-administrated instruments and video-recorded morning care sessions. The experimental group showed a significant decrease in care workers' burnout and a significant improvement in several communicative behaviors (e.g., involvement). Stress levels deteriorated at 6 months, and no intervention effects were found for job satisfaction. The findings highlight the importance of providing care workers with both technical competences and tools for stress management, as this might be associated with a reduction in their levels of exhaustion and improved communicative behaviors.

“…Este fato deve-se à relação demonstrada entre o bem-estar subjetivo dos trabalhadores e a perceção do indivíduo da sua qualidade de vida (Cimete, Gencalp, & Keskin, 2003;Judge & Watanabe, 1993;Spector, 1997). Para além deste aspeto, foi também demonstrado que a satisfação no trabalho está positivamente associada à longevidade do indivíduo (Locke, 1976, cit in (Ferreira, Fernandes, Haase, & Santos, 2009)). …”
