BackgroundJob satisfaction is important to staff management of township health centers (THCs), as it is associated with organizational performance, quality of care and employee retention. The purpose of this study was to measure job satisfaction level of THC employees in poor rural China and to identify relevant features in order to provide policy advice on human resource development of health service institutions in poor regions.MethodsA self-completion questionnaire was used to assess the job satisfaction and relevant features (response rate: 90.5%) among 172 employees (i.e., clinic doctors, medico-technical workers and public health workers) of 17 THCs in Anhui and Xinjiang provinces of China. The study covered a time period of two months in 2007.ResultsThe mean staff job satisfaction scored 83.3, which was in the category of "somewhat satisfied" on a scale ranging from 0 (extremely dissatisfied) to 100 (extremely satisfied) by employing Likert's transformation formula. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed eight domains involved in modeling of job satisfaction, among which, the caregivers were more satisfied with job significance (88.2), job competency (87.9) and teamwork (87.7), as compared with work reward (72.9) and working conditions (79.7). Mean job satisfaction in Xinjiang (89.7) was higher than that in Anhui (75.5).ConclusionsEmployees of THCs have moderate job satisfactions in poor areas, which need to be raised further by improving their working conditions and reward.

“…LGBT individuals may reflect lower salary levels in the nonprofit sector (Jung, Moon, & Hahm, 2007), given that LGBT individuals were more likely to select a nonprofit career, relative to their heterosexual counterparts (Lewis, 2010). However, gay men were no more willing to accept a less-than-ideal job than their heterosexual counterparts, whereas lesbians were less willing to accept a less-thanideal job.…”

As a stigmatized group, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered (LGBT) individuals are vulnerable to employment discrimination and receive little legal protection. They have had to cope with discrimination and engage in identity management to conceal their sexual identity. This study seeks to determine whether LGBT individuals, in anticipation of discrimination, have lower initial career expectations, espouse more altruistic work values, and make career choices based on those work values, when compared to heterosexual individuals. Using data from a large survey of postsecondary students, we found that LGBT individuals, after controlling for age, visible minority status, and major of study, reported lower salary expectations than heterosexual individuals.LGBT individuals were also more likely than their heterosexual counterparts to espouse "altruistic" work values and to indicate a career choice in the nonprofit sector. We suggest that "altruism" may be an important work value that is related to a career choice in the public and nonprofit sectors.

“…Particularly, Jung et al (2007) suggested that job satisfaction was affected by the employees' gender in terms of working environment and wages. On the other hand, the research of Hill et al (1985) had revealed that regardless their gender, the employees experienced similar levels of dissatisfaction.…”
