“…Many researchers have suggested that there is a clear consensus in the definition of job satisfaction – it is believed that job satisfaction is an affective (emotional) reaction to one’s job (Weiss 2002, Ma et al. 2003, Ellenbecker & Byleckie 2005, Lu et al. 2007a, Willem et al.…”

“…The factors of job satisfaction are: (1) relationship with peers, (2) relationship with patients, (3) independence and work autonomy, (4) salary and benefits, (5) relationship with administration, (6) stress and workload, (7) relationship with physician, and (8) professional pride. Ellenbecker and Byleckie (2005a) have previously established the validity and reliability of the HHNJS for a sample of home healthcare nurses (Cronbach's alpha = 0.79). Intent to stay was measured by a five-point scale reflecting respondents' agreement with the statement "I have no plans to leave this job."…”

Faced with a nursing shortage and anticipated increase in demand, home care agencies are implementing retention strategies with little knowledge of their effectiveness. The purpose of this study is to describe the strategies implemented and their effect on nurse job satisfaction and intention to leave. Data were collected from a random sample of 123 New England agencies during in-person interviews. Most agencies reported implementing multiple recruitment and retention strategies. Regression results suggest that the effects of employer retention strategy on nurses' intent to stay are the indirect result of its effects on job satisfaction. The only retention intervention that made a statistically significant difference in job satisfaction was shared governance, and no retention strategy directly affected nurses' intention to stay in their jobs.

“…Their ''consensus'' in definition is that job satisfaction is ''an affective (emotional) reaction to one's job [12][13][14][15][16][17]. Generally considered to be an individual's perceptual/emotional reaction to important facets of work [18].…”

Background: Some researchers have argued that job satisfaction has been vaguely defined in the organizational literature. Also, there is a lack of consensus over the meaning of job satisfaction in literature. The aim of this study was to clarify dimensions of job satisfaction's concept based on a systematic review study. Materials and Methods: The present study used a systematic review to clarify job satisfaction's concept. Some databases including Pubmed and Medline were searched, carefully using proper keywords. A total of 38 articles were reviewed, all were published between 1986 and 2009, with the majority being of quantitative nature and design. Data on the following items were extracted: country, setting, subjects, the definition of job satisfaction, theoretical background for measuring job satisfaction and the dimensions of job satisfaction. Results: The results of this study showed that job satisfaction has been born in mind both conceptually and operationally. In both aspects, job satisfaction was assumed to be influenced by personal and organizational dimensions. The main focus was on identifying and controlling different factors to provide job satisfaction for individuals. Yet, individuals' contributions to satisfy themselves were ignored. Conclusions: We explored that job satisfaction is a multi dimensional concept. This contains individual abilities, attitudes, beliefs and value system. To achieve job satisfaction, it is important that the staff have the characteristics of positive feelings and attitudes, commitment, and responsibility.
