Measurement of Work Satisfaction among Health Professionals

Enhancing Work Motivation for Japanese Female Nurses in Small to Medium-Sized Private Hospitals by Analyzing Job Satisfaction

“…Therefore, "Professional commitment" and "Self-actualization" were not separated, which is consistent with our past study (Kudo et al 2006). Our findings are different from those of Stamps et al (1978). These findings may also be useful to study job satisfaction among Japanese nurses in future studies.…”

“…These studies were used in the present study. Ozaki and Tadamasa (1988) translated the job satisfaction questionnaire of healthcare providers, produced by Stamps et al (1978), from English to Japanese. That questionnaire consists of the 7 facets: "Pay," "Professional status," "Doctor-nurse relationship," "Administration," "Autonomy," "Task requirements," and "Interaction."…”

State of the Art of Job Satisfaction Measures: A Systematic Review

“…26, nº 2, p. 987-1002 -June/2018 Dawis, & England, 1967), the Questionário de satisfação laboral S20/23 (Meliá & Peiró, 1989), the Cuestionario Font Roja de Satisfacción Laboral (Aranaz & Mira, 1988), the Index of Work Satisfaction (IWS; Stamps, Piedmont, Slavitt, & Haase, 1978), the Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS; Hackman & Oldham, 1975), the Questionário Geral de Satisfação WCW (Warr et al, 1979), the McCloskey-Mueller Job Satisfaction Scale (MMSS; Mueller & McCloskey, 1990) and the Escala de Satisfação no Trabalho (EST; Siqueira, 1995), with these instruments having at least 4 quantitative studies returned by the systematic review. Table 4 presents data of the most used scales in the studies found by this study, showing: instrument name, author of the original measure, instrument publication year, country of origin and countries with published studies using this measure.…”

“…Neither of the two scales, the JSS or MSQ, has a published Brazilian version. There were two scales with 5 countries each, these being: the IWS (Stamps et al, 1978) and the JDS (Hackman & Oldham, 1975), however, only the JDS had a study in Brazil (Pedroso et al, 2014) published in a peer review system, although without SciELO, Web of Knowledge or Scopus indexing.…”

“…To be satisfi ed, therefore, would be to be committed to an organization that has values and beliefs congruent with those of the worker (Siqueira, 1995(Siqueira, , 2003. The notion of the affect as a fruit of the beliefs and values places cognition at the center of the attitude, which runs counter to the notion of attitude as affect adopted by Locke (1976) and used by most researchers in the area (Fritzsche & Parrish, 2004;Judge & Bono, 2001;Latham & Budworth, 2007;Locke, 1991;Locke & Latham, 2002;Spector, 1997;Stamps et al, 1978;Warr et al, 1979;Weiss et al, 1967) Despite the distinct theoretical model, the EST has studies demonstrating evidence of validity and good statistical properties (Siqueira, 1995). The measure has 25 items divided into 5 factors: (1) satisfaction with colleagues, (2) satisfaction with salary, (3) satisfaction with management, (4) satisfaction with the nature of the work and (5) satisfaction with promotions.…”
