Background: Nurses are suffering from various stressors which adversely impact their work satisfaction and mental health. Research is scarce on optimism, one of the positive psychological resource which may reduce work-family conflict and improve work satisfaction.Objectives: This study aims to assess work satisfaction among Chinese nurses and to observe and illustrate the relationships among optimism, work-family conflict, and work satisfaction.Methods: This study was designed as a cross-sectional study with stratified sampling. From September 2019 to December 2020, a self-administered WeChat questionnaire was collected from 768 nurses online in China to evaluate the nurses' work satisfaction, optimism, and work-family conflict. Spearman correlation and hierarchical multiple regression analysis were applied to examine associated factors of work satisfaction. A structural equation model was employed to test the mediating effect of work-family conflict in the relationship between optimism and work satisfaction.Results: Optimism were observed to have a positive correlation with work satisfaction while the correlation between work-family conflict and work satisfaction was observed to be negative. Optimism and work-family conflict explained 4.8 and 9.2% of the incremental variances of work satisfaction, respectively. Work-family conflict served as a mediator in the relationship between optimism and work satisfaction.Conclusions: Nurses in China experienced high levels of work satisfaction. Optimism could increase the chance of higher work satisfaction while work-family conflict increased the risk of lower work satisfaction. Psychological interventions and improvement of working conditions are essential to relieve work-family conflicts and enhance work satisfaction.

“…During the COVID-19, pre-school teachers may experience the dual stress of work and parenting and they need to balance the roles of staff and mothers at home in the long term (Limbers et al, 2020 ). Although there is a bilateral relationship between work-family conflict, the existing studies look at it as a whole (Gopalan and Pattusamy, 2020 ). As such, this present study focused on both the association between work overload and work-to-family conflict and the association between parenting stress and family-to-work conflict.…”

2021

Online education has become a vital weapon to fight against the COVID-19 epidemic in the world. In the home-based online education environment, female pre-school teachers are expected to balance the dual roles of teacher and mother at the same time, which may trigger the work-family conflict. Although previous studies analyzed individual stressors, work-family conflict and its outcomes, there is little research on pre-school teachers' work and parenting experience during major public health emergencies. The current study examined the associations among work overload, parenting stress, work-family conflict, and job satisfaction during the COVID-19. Seven hundred eighteen female pre-school teachers with children who worked online at home participated in the study. Female pre-school teachers reported that the COVID-19 has increased work overload and parenting stress. Moreover, work overload was negatively associated with job satisfaction via its positive association with work-to-family conflict. Parenting stress was negatively associated with job satisfaction via both family-to-work conflict and work-to-family conflict. The study contributes to a better understanding of the association among female pre-school teachers' work overload, parenting stress, work-family conflict, and job satisfaction. Our findings highlighted potential avenues for interventions aimed at balancing female pre-school teachers' work and family and improving their job satisfaction during the COVID-19.

Objective: Career satisfaction experienced by healthcare professionals has an impact on the quality of health care. This study aims to evaluate career satisfaction perceived by physicians, dentists and pharmacists working in Jordan. Design: The study utilized an online questionnaire distributed among a sample of pharmacists, dentists and physicians working in Jordan. The questionnaire addressed career satisfaction as well as satisfaction regarding family and workplace aspects, relations with patients, colleagues, and society. Setting: Healthcare institutions in Jordan. Main outcome measures: Physicians, dentists and pharmacists were surveyed for factors influencing their career satisfaction. Results: A total of 294 healthcare personnel participated in this study with a mean age of 37.65±11.7 years (range= 23-68 years). Participants included 46 (15.6%) pharmacists, 128 (43.5%) physicians and 120 (40.8%) dentists with a female majority (76.9%). Only 165 (56.1%) expressed career satisfaction. Marriage, having children, a high monthly income, and house ownership were associated with a significantly higher career satisfaction (≤0.050). Moreover, professionals working in academic or non-governmental organizations had a significantly higher career satisfaction (P=0.001). Most practitioners were not satisfied with a work- family relation (51.8%), however, they were mostly satisfied with relationships with colleagues (65.9%), and perceived they received appreciation from patients and society (60.5%). Conclusions: Social and financial stability are associated with career satisfaction among healthcare professionals working in Jordan. Further, participants are generally satisfied with relationships with colleagues, supporting staff and patients. They are also satisfied with respect and appreciation offered from society. More attention is warranted for assessment of challenges and problems faced by practitioners in the private sector, particularly economic aspects to improve career satisfaction and mitigate turnover intention.
