“…Organizational health, as a means to evaluate organizations at a more macro level, is a growing phenomenon (Singh and Jha, 2018). A healthy organization is, in essence, an establishment that supports employees' needs for social, emotional, mental, physical and spiritual well-being.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between three antecedents, namely, work self-determination, managerial support (i.e. interpersonal motivation style) and person–organization fit (P-O) (i.e. shared values among employees and the overall organization) on employee work satisfaction in a French Canadian health care context. Assessing the relationships between such intrapersonal, interpersonal and macro-level variables will help to better comprehend work satisfaction in health care and shed light on applicable transformations for management. Design/methodology/approach The study tested a judicious model grounded in self-determination theory in order to capture and construe the three levels of influence. Participants were recruited from four health centers in the Suroît (Quèbec, Canada) region. Management was provided with the questionnaire and asked to distribute to all employees including nurses and allied health. A serial multiple mediation analysis was used to test the proposed model. Findings The findings revealed that nearly 60 percent of the participants from each of the professional groups reported feeling moderately to not at all satisfied with their job (follow-up ANOVA revealed that nurses were the least satisfied). Through closer examination, the findings revealed that 46 percent of the variance in reported job satisfaction was explained by the three focal antecedents from the hypothesized model (work self-determination, managerial support and P-O fit). Therefore the model, in its entirety, represents a comprehensive perspective for influencing employee work satisfaction in particularly demanding health care work contexts. Originality/value The study is the first to indicate the prevailing factors necessary to pursue and support employee satisfaction within a health care context among French Canadians.

“…They regard students as irresponsible and undisciplined people who must be controlled through punitive sanctions. Singh and Jha (2018) conducted a survey to obtain a perfect OH construct for a school and found that the OH inventory introduced by Hoy and Miskel (1987) is an important inventory that combines various OH elements under one perfect theory. According to the theory, the first element is integrity in the institution.…”

“…According to the theory, the first element is integrity in the institution. According to Singh and Jha (2018) integrity in institutions is an element of value that reflects the accountability of teachers for the tasks assigned to them to achieve educational goals holistically. Velarde et al (2020) agree also with this statement because integrity to schools creates an organization that has goals that are aligned and in line with educational needs.…”

“…Doganay and Dagli (2020) also found that the element of student academic achievement is very important for OH because it reflects the level of confidence of teachers that ensures the quality of education in the long run. Singh and Jha (2018) criticize academic emphasis as an element of OH because it creates a work situation that is too examination result-oriented so that teachers and leaders neglect more abstract educational tasks and roles. However, this depends on the definition of academic emphasis set by the organization as it covers a very wide scope.…”

The main purpose of this review is to explore the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational health in the context of leadership practices in schools. This review also aims to look at the characteristics of transformational leadership and how transformational leadership is created from various basic leadership theories. The methodology used is a systematic review in which n = 34 articles were selected for review after the filtering process based on a number of pre-determined criteria. This systematic review found that there was a correlation between the transformational leadership aspects introduced by Bass and the organizational health elements introduced by Hoy and Miskel. This is very important because it forms the basis of this research. The four aspects of transformational leadership, namely ideal influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individual consideration are related to organizational health elements, namely, integrity in institutions, collegial leadership, relationships between teachers and academic emphasis.

“…Human resources are the most valuable asset for organizations, and paying attention to human resource needs and their satisfaction can be effective in increasing the efficiency and productivity of the organization. [1] Nurses constitute the major part of human resources in hospitals and their impact on the quality of health services and achievement of the organizational goals is prominent; therefore, paying due attention to them in healthcare organizations has become increasingly important. [2] The results of different studies show a high rate of burnout among nurses.…”

Introduction:The optimal performance of a healthcare organization is one of the effective factors in increasing the efficiency and productivity of nurses and thus reducing their burnout. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of organizational management on nurse burnout based on experiences from Iranian nurses working in psychiatric wards.Materials and Methods:This qualitative study was conducted on 15 nurses working in psychiatric wards selected through purposive sampling. Data collection was done through in-depth semi-structured interviews in psychiatric wards in Ahvaz (southwest of Iran) and Tehran. Data analysis was done through conventional content analysis.Results:The findings included one main category and three subcategories. The main category was “Providing care at an inadequate organization,” and the three sub-classes namely “Shortages of human resources,” “Shortage of physical resources,” and “Impact of management approaches to care provision” were extracted.Conclusion:The results of this study showed that inadequate supply of equipment and human resources along with ineffective managerial approaches in the organization could lead to mental and emotional exhaustion, negative attitudes toward the profession, decreased and poor service quality, employee turnover, and early retirement of nurses in psychiatric wards. Therefore, by adopting appropriate policies in their programs, paying special attention to the physical and mental health of nurses, and addressing their problems, managers of healthcare organizations can motivate and sustain the human resources within the organization.
