“…Most nurses are also dissatisfied with inflexible work schedule, shift work and low salary [17,18]. Nursing is a female-dominated job and women are usually the primary caregivers of family members [19]. However, female workers in traditional societies such as Iran might face more demanding family roles because family means not only parents and children but also the extended family, and even neighbours and friends [6].…”

Objective. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of perceived workplace bullying in the Australian medical workforce, and investigate the relationship between workplace bullying and job satisfaction, health status, and current and planned medical workforce participation.Methods. An electronic cross-sectional survey of doctors currently in the paid workforce, conducted between April 2008 and October 2009, was nested within a longitudinal cohort study investigating factors affecting the recruitment and retention of the Australian medical workforce. To address the specific aims of this study, a subset of questions in the survey investigated the prevalence of self-reported bullying; physical and mental health; workforce participation patterns; job satisfaction; and job stressors.Results. Seven hundred and forty-seven participants responded to the bullying question and were included in this analysis. Twenty-five percent of participants reported being bullied in the last 12 months. There were no differences in the reported rates of bullying across age groups, sex and country of medical qualification. Bullied doctors were least satisfied with their jobs (P < 0.001), had taken more sick leave in the last 12 months (P < 0.001), and were more likely to be planning to decrease the number of hours worked in medicine in the next 12 months (P = 0.01) or ceasing direct patient care in the next 5 years (independent of their age or the number of hours currently worked in patient care) (P = 0.006).Conclusions. Our findings suggest that Australian doctors, independent of age or sex, have experienced workplace bullying, and although no conclusions can be made about causal pathways, there were strong associations between this exposure and poorer health and wellbeing, and on remaining in the medical workforce.What is known about the topic? Bullying and harassment have a significant impact on mental health, job satisfaction, and intention to leave the workforce. Workplace bullying in healthcare organisations affects the individuals involved, the organisations and the patients. The prevalence of workplace bullying throughout the medical workforce in Australia or elsewhere has not been investigated, with previous studies focussing on subsets of doctors, particularly junior doctors. What does this paper add? This paper found that 25% of doctors participating in this study reported experiencing persistent behaviours in the last 12 months that had undermined their professional confidence or self-esteem. There were no differences in the prevalence of bullying observed between sexes, age groups, country of medical qualifications, or employment sector. Victims of bullying had poorer mental health, had taken more sick leave in the last 12 months, were less Journal compilation Ó AHHA 2012 www.publish.csiro.au/journals/ahr CSIRO PUBLISHING Australian Health Review, 2012, 36, 197-204 Research Note http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/AH11048WORKFORCE satisfied with their current jobs and with being doctors, were more affected by job stresso...

“…Several authors have investigated and reported that stressor is any relationship between the person and the environment that is perceived by the person as taxing. The relationship can result in either a beneficial or a harmful outcome (Sonnentag et al, 2010;Schluter et al, 2011;Bakibinga et al, 2012). And have found that different types of stress produce anxiety in individuals, which results in feelings of apprehension that can ultimately lead to negative physical, emotional, cognitive and behavioral symptoms (Boyd & Nihart, 1998).…”

Stress can affect individual's performance which in turn can impact an organization's performance. This study was conducted in order to gain a better understanding of what types of situations cause stress in health service providers and how that stress affects job performance especially services that provided to the patients in hospitals. Authors hope to identify the relationship between the job stressors towards job performance of nurses. 300 questionnaires were distributed to qualified nurses in 7 private hospitals across Malaysia. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used as the software to analyze the data and test the hypotheses. Outcomes from a series of hypothesis tests support the researchers' study that each independent variable has significant relationship to job performance of nurses.
