“…Previous studies suggest that there are strong interrelationships between low levels of job satisfaction and organizational factors [7,15].

AbstractThe study was undertaken to assess job satisfaction among health care workers (HCWs) who work with disabled patients and to identify the factors that contribute to their job satisfaction. This was a cross-sectional study conducted at nine rehabilitation centers in Serbia. The study sample consisted of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, and other HCWs (social workers, work and speech therapists, and psychologists). A self-administrated questionnaire was distributed to 170 HCWs. Chi square testing and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied. The response rate was 97.1% (165/170). Overall job satisfaction was reported by 22.4% of the respondents and was associated with hospital politics (odds ratio [OR], 4.16; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.13–15.30], personal relationships (OR, 13.96; 95% CI, 4.07–47.92) and the feeling of being able to provide a good quality of care (OR, 5.24; 95% CI, 1.62–16.99). Profession, age, and gender did not affect job satisfaction. In conclusion, the results show very low job satisfaction among HCWs. Improving contributing factors may lead to higher job satisfaction and a better quality of health care.

Employees play a pivotal role in the success of every organization. They help to achieve organizational objectives. Various studies indicate that a highly-engaged employee can help the organization to respond to the changes in environment, competition, and changing workforce. The extent to which an employee believes in the mission and purpose of an organization and demonstrates commitment through their action and their attitude towards their employer is employee engagement. The aim of this paper is to understand the impact of demographic variables such as age and gender on employee engagement in IT companies in South Chennai. The drivers considered for the study are superior, performance appraisal and reward and recognition. The study was conducted among employees working in various IT companies situated in South Chennai.
