“…Moral distress (also called moral stress) can be a predictor of increased employee fatigue, decreased job satisfaction, and increased intention to leave a job. 42 It also results in feelings of incompetence, distancing from patients, and a negative impact on quality of care. 43 Issues contributing to moral distress include workload, incompetence of self or others leading to inadequate care, witnessing unnecessary suffering, moral compromise, and negative provider judgments about patients and/or their families.…”

“…Our results confirm this assumption by revealing that public employees are more satisfied than private employees in some aspects, but less satisfied in other aspects. For example, questions related to job security and social environment, public employees display higher levels of work satisfaction than private employees (DeTienne et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2012). However, when the questions are about compensation and the possibility of growth, private employees report significantly higher levels of work satisfaction (see also Rainey, 1983;Buelens and Broeck, 2007;Karl and Sutton, 1998).…”

This research aims to compare the public and private sectors with regard to satisfaction at work. We conducted a survey with 670 professionals from both sectors in Brazil. The results of variance analysis confirm previous researches indicating that public officials are less satisfied with their work than private sector workers. However, this result does not repeat when we evaluate the satisfaction dimensions. For instance, public officials reported being more satisfied than private sector workers with regard to social environment and work stability. Unexpectedly, the results suggest that there is no difference between these sectors when we analyze the satisfaction with supervision. Therefore, this article is relevant for Brazilian managers, by offering an empirical research on the distinction between public and private. The article also discusses the theoretical implications, since Brazilian findings do not completely support the international literature. Os funcionários públicos estão realmente menos satisfeitos que os trabalhadores do setor privado? Um estudo comparado no Brasil O objetivo desta pesquisa é comparar os setores público e privado em relação à satisfação no trabalho. Foi realizado um survey com 670 profissionais de ambos os setores no Brasil. Os resultados da análise de variância confirmam as pesquisas anteriores indicando que os funcionários públicos estão menos satisfeitos com seu trabalho que os trabalhadores do setor privado. No entanto, esse resultado não se repete quando avaliadas as dimensões da satisfação. Por exemplo, os funcionários públicos relataram estar mais satisfeitos que os trabalhadores da iniciativa privada em relação ao ambiente social e à estabilidade no trabalho. Inesperadamente, os resultados sugerem que não existe diferença entre os setores quando analisada a satisfação com a supervisão. Portanto, este artigo é relevante para os gestores brasileiros, pois oferece uma pesquisa empírica sobre a distinção entre público e privado. Este artigo também discute as implicações teóricas, pois os achados brasileiros não confirmam totalmente a literatura internacional. 1478Renata Borges ¿Los funcionarios públicos están realmente menos satisfechos que los trabajadores del sector privado?

High level stress in work place is known to be associated with negative organizational behaviors and bad organizational performance. There are individual and organizational factors influencing stress coping behavior of employees. In this study we explore the impact of employees' perceptions of organizational support on their stress coping capabilities (problem-focused stress coping and emotionfocused stress coping) and whether their psychological capital (PsyCap) plays a mediating role in this relationship using the sample of employees in special education and rehabilitation centers in Turkey. Multivariate statistical analyses show a significant positive relationship between perceived organizational support (POS) and problem-focused stress coping (PFSC), and no significant relationship between POS and emotion-focused stress coping (EFSC). A significant positive association is detected between POS and PsyCap. Accordingly, our findings show that PsyCap plays a partial mediating role in the association between POS and PFSC.
