“…Dimensions of stress become more strongly correlated with Emotional exhaustion across time whereby three dimensions become correlated with Depersonalisation and this is in line with the study of Wu et al (2007); however, the present study has the advantage of repeated measures. Higher Emotion-oriented coping at wave 1 is correlated with higher dimension of stress and negative aspects of burnout and the negative effect of Emotionoriented coping is demonstrated by it predictive ability for all aspects of stress and the 22 negative dimensions of burnout.…”

“…Despite stress leading nurses to seek social support (LeSergent & Hanley 2005), a recent study by Wu et al (2007) demonstrated that burnout amongst nursing staff was related, amongst other things, to increased level of occupational stress. Although stress is normal in a range of circumstances (Smith & Fawcett 2006) the negative consequences arising from workload factors associated with stress, such as increasing patient load, can lead to emotional exhaustion, or burnout (Maslach & Jackson 1986), a concept that will be described below.…”

“…A typically-related topic is the one of job satisfaction which is extremely important for the productiveness and performance in every occupational sector (Spector, 1997, Brown et al, 1993, Judge et al, 2001). Furthermore, higher levels of job satisfaction can ensure lower absenteeism (Wu et al, 2007), and satisfied employees are more likely to be satisfied with their lives (Lease, 1998). There is also a strong link between job satisfaction and organizational commitment (Alpader, 1990).…”

It is extremely important for employees in every sector of an economy to be satisfied with their work since job satisfaction contributes significantly to improvements in their productiveness and performance. This paper deals with the very sensitive sector of health care in which medical staff provide citizens with health care services. The job satisfaction of these medical care providers is of particular importance when aiming to improve the quality of their services. Literature on job satisfaction among the providers of medical care is limited since researches have focused mainly on users' satisfaction with the medical care services provided. In an era in which many countries worldwide are facing uncertainty and the social insurance systems are confronted with serious problems as they strive to respond to a number of changes, the Greek health care sector is no exception. With particular reference to the Greek reality, due to the heavy recession that the country has been facing for a number of years, health care expenditures have been cut dramatically and, as a result, the working conditions in public hospitals have been negatively influenced. Based on the above, the purpose of this paper is, through empirical investigation, to examine the levels of job satisfaction among Greek doctors who work in public hospitals and to determine the factors that may influence the satisfaction they gain from their work.

Working under pressure, stress and dissatisfaction with the working hours, a high workload, lack of autonomy, conflicts with physicians and non supportive work conditions are some of the negative factors which are seen among nurses [7][8][9][10][11].…”

Background and Aim: Several researchers have described the nurses' work as stressful and that the incidence of the occupational stress-related burnout in the profession was high. The aim of this study was to establish the relationship between the nurses' satisfaction, their psychosocial work environment, the levels of their reported moral sensitivities and their wellbeing in Iran. Material and Methods:This descriptive-correlation study was performed at the ILAM general hospitals, IR, during the year 2011. The research instruments which were used were the Psychosocial Work Environment (PWE), the Moral Sensitivity (MS) and the well-being profile of the nurses. A sample of 120 Registered Nurses (RN) were enrolled in the study by using a simple random sampling method. The descriptive statistics and the Pearson's correlation test were performed by using SPSS. Result:The relationship of the nurses' satisfaction and their psychosocial work environment was moderate (M=106.5, SD= 7.2) . The nurses' moral sensitivity was moderate (M=112.3, SD= 11.2).This study found that there were significant correlations between the PWE factors score and the MS subscale (P< 0.05, p<0.01). In addition, significant correlations were found between the nurses' well-being and the PWE factors (P< 0.05, p<0.01). Discussion and Conclusion:These findings proved that the nurses perceived their PWE as stressful. The supporting nurses may have a positive effect on their perceptions of well-being. The attending nurses reported less physical symptoms, reduced anxiety and fewer feelings of not being in control.
