ObjectivesTo analyse the prevalence and determinants of turnover intention (TI) among primary health workers (PHWs) in China to provide evidence for improving retention measures.DesignSystemic review and meta-analysis.Data sourcesFour English-language databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO) and three Chinese databases (CNKI, CSPD, CBM) were searched up to October 2019.Eligibility criteriaEligible studies were observational or descriptive studies conducted in mainland China. The prevalence of TI among health workers and related factors had to be explicitly reported in each included study.Data extraction and synthesisData were extracted by one author and reviewed independently by two other authors. For each factor analysed by a meta-analysis, the factor was required to be the same across different studies, and at least three studies had to include it. The quality of studies was assessed using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale and heterogeneity was evaluated using the I2 statistic.ResultsWe identified 16 cross-sectional studies investigating a total of 37 672 PHWs. The prevalence of TI was 30.4%. Subgroup analysis revealed that the highest prevalence was observed in the community primary healthcare institutions and the eastern provinces of China. Meta-analyses indicated that 21 factors were significantly associated with TI, including demographic factors (gender, age, education, marital status), job characteristic factors (title, work seniority, remuneration, social status, organisational affiliation, work stress) and job satisfaction factors (learning and training opportunity, interpersonal relationship, work condition and environment, and so on).ConclusionThis study highlights the problem of TI among PHWs in China. Efforts should be made to improve conditions in both work-related areas and areas outside of work. Policymakers should continue to improve reward systems, the construction of infrastructure and promotion systems, and pay more attention to PHWs’ lives outside of work and meet their living needs.

“…Like Herzberg et al (1959) in their dual-factor theory supposed, money does not create satisfaction but presence prevents dissatisfaction. A recent study reported that physicians pay satisfaction is associated with work satisfaction (Kao et al , 2018). In there, the authors concluded that pay fairness is important for a long-term cooperation and a basis to produce high-quality treatment.…”

PurposeA common way to handle quality problems and increasing costs of modern health care systems is more transparency through public reporting. Thereby, patient satisfaction is seen as one main reported outcome. Previous studies proposed several associated factors. Only a few of them included organizational determinants with potential to inform the health care provider's management. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of organizational contingency factors on patient satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachAs a case, Switzerland's inpatient rehabilitation sector was used. Therein, a cross-sectional study of public released secondary data with an exploratory multiple linear regression (MLR) modeling approach was conducted.FindingsFive significant influencing factors on patient satisfaction were found. They declared 42.2% of the variance in satisfaction on provider level. The organizations' supplementary insured patients, staff payment, outpatients, extracantonal patients and permanent resident population revealed significant correlations with patient satisfaction.Research limitations/implicationsDrawing on publicly available cross-sectional data, statistically no causality can be proved. However, integration of routine data and organization theory can be useful for further studies.Practical implicationsRegarding inpatient satisfaction, improvement levers for providers' managers are as follow: first, service provision should be customized to patients' needs, expectations and context; second, employees' salary should be adequate to prevent dissatisfaction; third, the main business should be prioritized to avoid frittering.Originality/valueFormer studies regarding public reporting are often atheoretical and rarely used organizational variables as determinants for relevant outcomes. Therefore, uniformed data are useful.

Job evaluation is an crucial factor in compensation design because it relates to issues of equity and worker satisfaction. Case study at the Human Resources Department of a publishing company show that there is a problem with the compensation system that is felt to be unfair. The existing method used in the company was job classification without considering workload. Therefore, it is important to determine the job relative value as a reference for designing compensation. This study compared two job evaluation approach using point system method: (1) an adjusted factors and weight; (2) standardized factors and weight using Cullen Egan Dell. Finding in this study shows that different approach in conducting the job evaluation results different number of job clusters. It will affect the proposed compensation design, which from the first approach (1) requires an increase in compensation budget of 4.9% from the existing budget, while second approach (2) requires a higher budget allocation of 11.6%. Based on the results of the comparison, company can choose alternatives that align with availability of budget, business strategies and compensation strategies to retain employees or recruit potential prospective employees.
