| Abstract | ||
| Background: Job satisfaction is the positive emotional situation that results from the appraisal of one’s job or job experience. Moreover, it is an important predictor of well‐being in the workplace, having a direct association with the productivity of healthcare providers and the quality of services provided. Objective(s): The aim of the present study was to evaluate job satisfaction among healthcare providers in Alexandria University hospitals. Methods: For the present cross‐sectional study, which included 300 medical residents and 200 nurses, quantitative data collection was conducted via the 72‐item validated Arabic version of the Job Descriptive Index (JDI) and Job in general scale (JIG), and qualitative data collection was conducted as well. Results: The findings revealed that the majority of the participants were moderately satisfied. Among the five job satisfaction facets examined, coworkers’ facet had the highest level of job satisfaction among both groups followed by opportunities for promotion and the facet of the nature of the current job itself (moderately satisfied), and the lowest level of satisfaction was revealed in pay and supervision facets (unsatisfied). Statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in the overall JIG and in the pay facet (p < 0.05). Spearman rho coefficients were computed to correlate the overall job satisfaction for each facet. Conclusion: Health-care providers at Alexandria University hospitals were moderately job satisfied except for their pay and supervision. Assessment of job satisfaction in the hospital environment is a cornerstone to create a healthy and safe work environment for healthcare staff to provide a high level of services to health service users. | ||
