Predictors of life satisfaction of Korean nurses

Abstract

This study highlights the relative importance of negative work outcomes on nurses' overall well-being. Strategies to reduce emotional exhaustion, enhance nurses' personal accomplishment and satisfaction with professional status, and accommodate shift preferences for work scheduling were suggested. Replicating this study with nurses from other geographic areas using random selection will be needed to increase the generalizability of the findings.

The Study of Relations between Life Satisfaction, Burnout, Work Engagement and Hopelessness of High School Students

“…Maslach and Jackson (1981) state that the activation of MBI's three sub-dimensions, being emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment sub-scales may cause work-related problems such as absenteeism and demoralization in the individual's life, alongside health problems and serious consequences such as an overall decrease in life satisfaction. In this research, the conclusion that there are negatively meaningful relations between life satisfaction and MBI-SS's three sub-scale scores show consistencies with the results of the research in literature conducted by university students (Chan, 2010;Çapri et al, 2012) and different professional workers employees (Anand and Arora, 2009;Avşaroğlu, Deniz and Kahraman, 2005;Çakınberk, 2011;Demerouti et al, 2000;Gümüş, 2006;Hayes and Weathington, 2007;Hombrados-Mendieta and Cosano-Rivas, 2011;Lee et al, 2004;Örkün, 2011;Özkan and Özdevecioğlu, 2012;Şahin, 2008;Şahin, 2010;Ünal, Karlıdağ and Yoloğlu, 2001) indicating that there is such a relation, pointing at the fact that the higher students' life satisfaction gets, the more their burnout will decrease. In such case, it is considered that if students' life satisfaction can be increased, from serious consequences of the problems (related to health and work) result from the burnout may be avoided.…”

“…According to Lambert, Hogan and Altheimer (2010), there is a negatively meaningful relation between burnout and life satisfaction. A great many research in literature indicating that such relation is present both for university students (Chan, 2011;Çapri, Özkendir, Özkurt and Karakuş, 2012) and workers from varying professions (Anand and Arora, 2009;Avşaroğlu, Deniz and Kahraman, 2005;Çakınberk, 2011;Demerouti, Bakker, Nachreiner and Schaufeli, 2000;Gümüş, 2006;Hayes and Weathington, 2007;Hombrados-Mendieta and Cosano-Rivas, 2011;Lee, Hwang, Kim and Daly, 2004;Örkün, 2011;Özkan and Özdevecioğlu, 2012;Şahin, 2008;Şahin, 2010;Ünal, Karlıdağ and Yoloğlu, 2001) are attention drawing.…”

Predictores de satisfacción laboral en médicos y enfermeros

“…Las evidencias indican que cuando la satisfacción laboral aumenta, disminuye el ausentismo y la rotación (Hayhurst, Saylor, & Stuenkel, 2005), y se incrementan el compromiso y las actitudes positivas hacia el trabajo (Chiu & Chen, 2005). Circunstancias que han llevado a señalar (Lee, Hwang, Kim, & Daly, 2004) que la satisfacción laboral influiría positivamente en la satisfacción con la vida en general, aunque tales relaciones aún no están claramente establecidas.…”

“…En el tercer paso se ingresaron las estrategias de afrontamiento, dado que su asociación con la satisfacción laboral ha recibido menor apoyo empírico (Thomas, 2005). La satisfacción con la vida fue relegada al cuarto lugar, porque la evidencia empírica de su rol predictivo es un tanto contradictoria (Lee et al, 2004;Martínez Selva, 2004). Las dimensiones de bienestar subjetivo se ingresaron en el último paso ya que su asociación con la satisfacción laboral no se han documentado a través de las múltiples facetas del constructo que se han tomado en cuenta en el presente estudio, sino que sólo se han informado vinculaciones acotadas a ciertos aspectos del trabajo, tales como las relaciones armoniosas con pares y superiores (Gilbreath & Benson, 2004), la realización personal (Cotton & Hart, 2003) y el clima organizacional (Shanafelt et al, 2005).…”
