Journal Title: International Journal of Health & Medical Research - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 08
Abstract
Background: Job satisfaction cuts across facets of mental perception and responses individuals make towards their jobs. They include cognitive, affective, and behavioral components. In light of reducing workforce in the Nigerian healthcare, this study was aimed at comparing the outlook of job satisfaction among healthcare workers in Nnamdi Azikiwe University teaching Hospital, Nnewi, Nigeria. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study design with a sample size of 281 healthcare personnel consisting of doctors, nurses, medical laboratory scientists, pharmacists, physiotherapists, and radiographers using a structured, self-administered questionnaire. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Statistical significance was set at p≤0.05. Results: The study showed that Radiographers and Physiotherapists averagely had the best job satisfaction scores in comparison to other healthcare personnel. Doctors and Nurses were noted to have the worst average scores in relation to other personnel. Conclusion: The disparity in job satisfaction among different professional cadres may be a reflection of disproportionate work expectations, outlooks, and rewards experienced by different professionals in the course of their duties. Favorable and unfavorable work environments and policies may be weighted differently in the work experience of different professionals.
