“…The gathered data not only on factors required for success, but the relative importance of each factor to the concept of successful practice (White, 1996). It is a methodology commonly employed in Job Analysis i.e., describing jobs and the attributes required to perform them, and provides the workers' perspective (Hill et al, 2016;Hamad et al, 2017;Burke, 2022). The Repertory Grids were analyzed, visualized as 'mental maps' of job satisfaction and dissatisfaction aspects, and they were related to NPS expressing satisfaction with working conditions, training and intention to stay.…”

Job satisfaction has a strong impact on the intention to stay which is an important aspect to counter skills shortage in academic medicine. In an interview study combining qualitative and quantitative methods we investigated how the mental representation of working conditions influences job satisfaction and its impact on the intention to stay. In a first study chief physicians participated in interviews about job satisfaction in academic hospitals. Answers were segmented into statements, ordered by topics and rated according to their valence. In a second study assistant physicians (residents) during and after their training period talked about strength, weaknesses and potential improvements of working conditions. Again, answers were segmented, ordered, rated and used to develop a ‘job satisfaction scale’. In a third study, assistant physicians participated in a computer-led repertory grid procedure composing ‘mental maps’ of job satisfaction factors, filled in the job satisfaction scale and rated if they would recommend work and training in their clinic as well as their intention to stay. Comparing the interview results with recommendation rates and intention to stay show that a negative attitude is linked to high workload and poor career perspectives. A positive attitude towards work environment and high intention to stay are linked to sufficient personnel and technical capacities, reliable duty scheduling and fair salaries. The third study using repertory grids showed that the perception of current teamwork and future developments concerning work environment were the main aspects to improve job satisfaction and the intention to stay. The results of the interview studies were used to develop an array of adaptive improvement measure. The results support prior findings that job dissatisfaction is mostly based on generally known “hygiene factors” and whereas job satisfaction is due to individual aspects.

“…Research has shown that work-life imbalance (e.g., high case load; workaholism) is related to the experience of work stress and compassion fatigue (Killian 2008). Poor work-life balance has also been linked to exhaustion among mental health practitioners (Scanlan et al 2013) and feelings of anxiety, stress, and being unsettled (Hill et al 2016). In contrast, maintaining balance in life is related to lower levels of emotional exhaustion (Rupert and Kent 2007), greater career satisfaction (Rupert et al 2012), and lower risk of burnout (Levin et al 2017).…”

Stress, burnout, and professional impairment are prevalent among mental health professionals and can have a negative impact on their clinical work, whilst engagement in self-care can help promote therapist well-being. This literature review examines the role of self-care in the promotion of well-being among mental health practitioners. Specifically, empirical research is presented in relation to specific domains of self-care practice, including awareness, balance, flexibility, physical health, social support, and spirituality. Findings from this review underscore the importance of taking a proactive approach to self-care and, in particular, integrating self-care directly into clinical training programs and into the quality assurance processes of professional organizations within the field of mental health.

“…The RGT is “a form of structured interviewing, with ratings or without, which arrives at a precise description uncontaminated by the interviewer’s own viewpoint” (Jankowicz, 2004, p. 14) and is a methodological application of the PCT (Hair, Rose, & Clark, 2009). The RGT has been applied to social (Hair et al, 2009; Hill, Wittkowski, Hodgkinson, Bell, & Hare, 2016), business (Klapper, 2014), consumer (Marsden & Littler, 2000), and clinical fields of research (Beail, 1985; Cridland, Caputi, Jones, & Magee, 2014; McNair, Woodrow, & Hare, 2016). The RGT has been used with various research aims but is more commonly used to develop theory that is grounded (Patton, 2002) or when the literature is limited (Easterby-Smith, Thorpe, & Lowe, 2002; Eisenhardt, 1989).…”

Cohesion enhances positive workplace outcomes, including job satisfaction, team performance, and productivity. Despite the importance of cohesion, definitions, factors, and measures of cohesion are used inconsistently. For example, the contribution of both task and social cohesion has been highlighted in previous research but ignored by other researchers in cohesion. This exploratory study examined the components of cohesion using a repertory grid technique and weighted multidimensional scaling. Twenty-six participants were interviewed. Findings supported cohesion being a multidimensional construct with 6 cohesion dimensions, comprising 1 task and 5 social elements, thereby revealing some areas of overlap with previous research. There was no support for group versus individual components of cohesion. Further research is required to develop instruments to measure the 6 cohesion components. Factor analytic studies could then confirm the factor structure of cohesion.
