“…Notwithstanding its high perception, interactional justice was limited by reduced information sharing with, and lack of respect for subordinates, by supervisors among all professional sub-groups. Our findings support the evidence that health managers tend to be unsupportive, lack respect for junior staff and provide negative feedbacks during supervision [2,4,[18][19][20][21][23][24][25][26][27]. The study further revealed that nurses and AHPs had significantly lower perception of interactional justice than doctors, which contrasts insignificant differences in interactional justice between doctors and non-doctors found in a previous Nigerian study [11].…”

Background: Research on organizational justice in hospitals in African countries are limited despite being important for workforce performance and hospital operational efficiency. This paper investigated perceptions and predictors of organizational justice among health professionals in academic hospitals in South-east Nigeria. Methods:The study was conducted in two teaching hospitals in Enugu State, South-east Nigeria using mixedmethods design. Randomly sampled 360 health professionals (doctors = 105, nurses = 200 and allied health professionals, AHPs = 55) completed an organizational justice scale. Additionally, semi-structured, in-depth interview with purposively selected 18 health professionals were conducted. Univariate and bivariate statistics and multivariable linear regression were used to analyze quantitative data. Statistical significance was set at alpha 0.05 level. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically using NVivo 11 software.Results: The findings revealed moderate to high perception of different dimensions of organizational justice. Doctors showed the highest perception, whereas AHPs had the least perception. Among doctors, age and education predicted distributive justice (adjusted R 2 = 22%); hospital ownership and education predicted procedural justice (adjusted R 2 = 17%); and hospital ownership predicted interactional justice (adjusted R 2 = 42%). Among nurses, age, gender and marital status predicted distributive justice (adjusted R 2 = 41%); hospital ownership, age and gender predicted procedural justice (adjusted R 2 = 28%); and hospital ownership, age, marital status and tenure predicted interactional justice (R 2 = 35%). Among AHPs, marital status predicted distributive justice (adjusted R 2 = 5%), while hospital ownership and tenure predicted interactional justice (adjusted R 2 = 15%). Qualitative findings indicate that nurses and AHPs perceive as unfair, differences in pay, access to hospital resources, training, work schedule, participation in decision-making and enforcement of policies between doctors and other health professionals due to medical dominance. Overall, supervisors have a culture of limited information sharing with, and disrespectful treatment of, their junior colleagues.(Continued on next page)

“…Nurses, as the largest and most important members of health care organizations, have an important role in promoting health community [14]. Nurses' job satisfaction is a phenomenon that is affected by many variables [15].

The average quality level of job satisfaction based on Brayfield and Ruth test was 62.6% in pre-hospital emergency nurses and 62.4% in nurses of emergency hospital. It was also found that the variables of age, gender, educational level, service record, working hours, income level and marital status were significant determinants of job satisfaction, so that these variables were altogether explain about 30%(F=13.5, P<0.001) of job satisfaction.

“…Nurses, who provide direct health care are the largest health care cadre in the health care system [1][2][3]. But, the global shortage of nurse and its negative impact on health care is reaching a critical level and many nurses continue to voluntarily leave their workplaces and profession before the normal age of retirement [4,5].…”

“…Their job satisfaction and retention to remain employed determines the quality of the care they provided. Job satisfaction is referred as all the feelings that an individual has about his/her job or the positive feeling individuals have about their jobs, their career and for whom they work [2,[6][7][8][9][10]. Job satisfaction is not just the money or the fringe benefits, but the feelings employees receive from the work itself [11,12].…”

But, different authors reported inconsistent findings about the proportion of job satisfaction and intention to remain employed. In addition; the trends and national pooled estimate of proportion of job satisfaction and intention to remain employed in nursing profession is no assessed. Therefore; the aim of this systemic review and meta-analysis is to show the trends, and estimate the national pooled proportion of job satisfaction and intention to remain employed in nursing profession in Ethiopia. Methods: Major databases; PubMed, Medline and African Journals Online were included in the review. Grey literatures like Web of Science, Google scholar and repository online library in universities in Ethiopian were searched. Joanna Briggs Institute Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument was used for critical appraisal. The meta-analysis was conducted using STATA-11. Descriptive information of studies was presented in narrative form and quantitative results were presented in forest plots. The Cochran Q test and I 2 test statistics were used to survey heterogeneity among studies. The pooled estimate prevalence with 95% confidence intervals were computed. Results: A total seven and five studies were included to estimate job satisfaction and intention to be employed respectively. The proportion of job satisfaction is declining from 2014 (59.6%) to 2019 (48%) while the proportion of intention to remain employed in nursing profession is increasing from 2014 (39%) to 2017 (86.7%). The overall national pooled proportion of job satisfaction among nurses was 54.96 % (95% CI: 48.83%, 61%) while the intention to remain employed in nursing profession was 54.94 % (95% CI: 36.44%, 73.45%). Conclusions: There is declining of job satisfaction and increasing of intention to remain employed trends across publication years. But, the national pooled proportion of job satisfaction and intention to remain employed are low. Interventions aiming to increases the job satisfaction and intention to remain employed is important.
