WORK SATISFACTION AMONG NURSES IN A PRIVATE HOSPITALS OF AUSTRALIA

Introduction

Job satisfaction is the most critical factor that needs to be considered by the management for
retaining employees in their business organization. Job satisfaction of employees is, therefore
maintained by the business organizations by maintaining and managing the essential factors
that can positively affect job satisfaction. In this research study, factors for job satisfaction of
healthcare workers in the Australian healthcare sector will be analysed for analysing job
satisfaction of Australian healthcare workers. Job satisfaction of healthcare workers are
important to be assessed and analysed as the healthcare of patients are dependent on the
satisfaction of healthcare workers towards their organization and workplace practices. In this
research study, job satisfaction of healthcare workers in Australian organizations will be
analysed for improvement in job satisfaction and a decrease in the employee turnover rate in
an Australian healthcare organization. The measurement of Job satisfaction is mainly used for
several contents with the hospitality job. The high job satisfaction can always be improved
with the specific enthusiasm of the staff. The main success of the firm is generated by the
progress made by the employees annually. The normal influence which creates the overall
stability among the staff members of health care services.

Methods

Ethical consideration
Some ethical considerations are to be essentially followed by the researchers during their
research study. Most importantly, during research on the work satisfaction of nurses towards
the job and organizational practices, some major ethics are required to be considered by the
researcher. These may include the ethical principles of informing and taking consent of the
respondents. Voluntary participation of the nurses is necessary to be maintained during any
sort of interview from them (Kenny, Reeve & Hall, 2016). Their anonymity and
confidentiality need to be maintained. Relevant and important questions were asked and
assessed from the interview and the secondary data collection regarding job satisfaction of
nurses in private hospitals. In addition, this needs to be considered as well that there might
be some sort of gaps and irrelevant data due to the non-availability of exact data from
4
WORK SATISFACTION AMONG NURSES IN A PRIVATE HOSPITALS OF AUSTRALIA

interviews and secondary data collection. In this research, secondary data collection has been
used as well for gaining information and data regarding job satisfaction of nurses in the
private hospital of Australia. The ethical considerations for secondary data collection include
the using of only the relevant data from the site, journal or book and name of the site, author
or research scholar must be included along with the use of its content and sources. In
addition, the name and confidentiality of participants must be anonymous during the use of
secondary data as well.

Collection and Setting up of data


Data collection for this research study is the most important section that is done by the
researcher to carry on with the research study. The secondary data that needs to be collected
for the detailed research study on work satisfaction of nurses in a healthcare organization is
collected by the researcher (Linz, Zimmermann and Müller-Stewens, 2017). The keywords
like Job satisfaction of nurses, employee satisfaction level in healthcare organizations, work
satisfaction of nurses in Australian private hospitals, effects of job satisfaction in employee
turnover rate in an Australian healthcare organization and more are used in the search engines
for retrieving journals, books, online articles and websites related to the topic. Census and
5
WORK SATISFACTION AMONG NURSES IN A PRIVATE HOSPITALS OF AUSTRALIA

statistical data that includes information on job satisfaction of nurses in their private
healthcare organizations are included for information and data for this research study as well.
Websites like government sites and specific sites that consisted of information of nurses and
their job satisfaction level in their organization.
Interviews from nurses that are working in Australian Private hospitals were taken as well for
gaining their viewpoint and responses to some specific questions. The research questions
involved in the interviews and the secondary data may have been used by researchers for
other researchers (Parveen, Maimani & Kassim, 2017). The research aim must have been
different, along with different objectives and hypotheses. The data collected, along with the
relevant information, are included in this research. The dependent variables and non-
dependent variables were collected and interrelated with each other for gaining relation
between the variables and factors. Interviews that have been carried out on the participants
have been identified as relevant information for analysing the essential factors to impact job
satisfaction of Australian nurses in their workplace. The alternative perspectives have been
analysed as well in this research to get detailed information. The research questions have
been determined. Location of the data has been included as well. Evaluation of the data, its
relevance, validity and reliability have been examined. The credibility of the data gathered
has been done in addition to the analysis of the SPSS data of the secondary data collection.
For the transcription part, relevant questions for interviewing were set up and asked the
respondents (Hou et al. 2020). The nurseries from the participants were then transcribed and
used for analysis on the topic of job satisfaction level of Australian nurses towards their job
and organization.

The normal ranking established with the several importance of the components generated by
the six components of the groups. The definite duration services are established with several
types of Pay rank shown in Table 1. The most specific and important component of the job
satisfaction states the specific age and duration to the length of the services — the
requirement of tasks that are arranged in the ranking process. The main focus of the
requirement is generated with the component accepted by the nurses. The various types of
autonomy policies are generated with several types of contributions which are done by the
nurses. The main reasons for the complaint among the various nurses are established with
several types of paperwork which are generated (Pandey & Singh, 2016). The gap created
between the administration of the hospital and all kinds of daily problems of the hospital. The
administrative decisions are generated with many planning services and procedures. There
are some of the opportunities which are insufficient for the advancement of the career by the
nurses. [Referred to Appendix 3]

The satisfaction of the nurses is expressed with several types of reflection done by 84% of the
job who all are agreed for the choice of the career. The percentage of the disagreed number of
nurses is 70%. The two thirds also felt about the generation of a good deal as teamwork. The
cooperation occurred between the various levels of nursing by the various personnel levels

WORK SATISFACTION AMONG NURSES IN A PRIVATE HOSPITALS OF AUSTRALIA

are generated due to the cooperation of the management system. The average of IWS is
considered to be the possible outcome of the several private hospitals generated for the
dissatisfaction of the job required for the specified task. From a professional point of view,
most of the nurses are satisfied with the services acquired by them. The various nurses are
created with teamwork for the satisfaction of the cooperation among the management systems
(Noblet et al. 2017). The financial considerations are established with several types of
organizational policies generated with the decision-making practices generated by the
advancements of the career — different types of overburdened clerical paperwork generated
by the different clerks. [Referred to Appendix 4]

Part B -Interview transcripts analysis

Job satisfaction in healthcare organizations is essential to be considered for the organization


to serve their patients better. The negative impact of employees being dissatisfied with their
jobs and organization can negatively deliver organizational performance. Job satisfaction of
employees in a healthcare organization is helpful in successfully delivering positive
productivity and performance towards their patients and clients. Nurses in a healthcare
organization may need specific motivation, work environment, decreased work pressure,
benefits from the organization and more to be mentally satisfied towards their job and
organization they are serving (Aloisio et al. 2018).

Conceptualization and Analysation of transcripts

Nursing care requires assurance of the quality of healthcare from the patient to determine the
success of the healthcare organization in serving their clients. (ajan.com.au, 2020)
Demographic profile
Enhancement of healthcare in healthcare organizations requires their employees to be
satisfied with their job. Higher job satisfaction of nurses is able to deliver greater
organizational healthcare performance and care towards their patients (Carvajal & Popovici,
2018). Higher satisfaction of employees towards their workplace practices and their own job
is responsible for employees to play an actively important role in the accomplishment of the
organizational goals and objectives. It has been identified that positive interpersonal relations
and interactions with the hospital management regarding any sorts of issues, discussions and
factors are highly effective. This effectiveness improves organizational productivity as the
nurses show more employee engagement towards their job. The organizational work
conditions and flexibility in working hours are effective in increasingly considered in many
healthcare organizations to positively influence job satisfaction level of nurses (Kraus et al.
2018).
The organization they are working for
After the interview, it can be identified that the organizational working conditions and
environment play an important role in determining the job satisfaction of nurses in their
organization. Workplace hygiene must be safe and clean to improve the healthcare of the
patients and positively impact the fulfilment of organizational goals and objectives by nurses.
The demographic profile, designation, age, marital status and work-life balance plays an
important role in increasing or decreasing job satisfaction level in nurses towards their
organization. This implies that wages according to their designation and flexible working
16
WORK SATISFACTION AMONG NURSES IN A PRIVATE HOSPITALS OF AUSTRALIA

hours that are received by nurses in their organizational parfrtoces of healthcare are
responsible for increasing their productivity and performance due to the increased work
satisfaction they are receiving. In addition, it can be observed that most of the nurses in the
healthcare organizations in Australia are receiving good incentives and rewards as part of
positive motivation to increase their satisfaction towards their organizational job (Maynard et
al. 2017).
Designation
The interview also revealed that nurses receive good incentives for working overtime or on
public holidays. This is a major factor that can motivate and increase work satisfaction of
nurses in their work practices as well. The nurses are working in functional and systematic
management instead of facing high pressure and accountability at times. However, this does
not decrease their job satisfaction as they are receiving enough benefits and remuneration for
the number of healthcare services they are giving to the hospital (Busenbark, Lange and
Certo, 2017).
Work-life balance
From the interview, it can be analysed that nurses are serving humanities as they are satisfied
with their job. However, the organizational salary structure, working hours, work conditions
and other benefits play an important and essential role in the engagement of nurses towards
the organizational procedures and productivity. It is analyzed from the interview that the
salary structure, wages and remuneration. Work conditions, working environment, hygiene in
the hospital premises and organizational benefits are highly capable of retaining the
workforce and increases their job satisfaction. (bcec.edu.au, 2020)
Education
From the interview, it can be analysed that nurses are able to complete and progress with
their higher studies due to the benefits, flexible working hours and assistance towards their
career from the healthcare organization (Ketter, Collins and Weerdt, 2017).
Result
The main focus has some statistics that have a recent direction of the relationship about the
coefficient of the negative value. The direction of the relationship generated with several
types of larger classes of the work pressure and salary structure. The effects of nursing
generated a great proportion of the mean variables accepted by the performance of nursing in
the hospitality sector (Schreieck et al. 2017). The higher levels of poverty are accepted
17
WORK SATISFACTION AMONG NURSES IN A PRIVATE HOSPITALS OF AUSTRALIA

generated several income levels and some of the basic functions based on the poverty level.
The higher levels of satisfaction also generated with several types of academic and training
process of the nurses. The important factors are also created with some low class to the
higher performance generated with the full credentials of the performance levels. The linear
regression is also able to predict the several types of variables based on other values. The
independent variables are predicted to some of the independent variables generated for the
linear regression process. The analysis of the data using some of the linear regression which
involves the process of checking the data. The linear regression is also accepted with the
SPSS analysis done with the secondary data extracted. The relationship displayed with
several scatter plot processes which are not considered as linear for performing the
polynomial regression. (JAX.jyu.fi, 2020)
The different organization for the development of dependent variable value which is different
from the other dependent variable that is accepted by the regression line indicating with the
large residual process. The negative effect generated by the various designation of the nurses
in hospitals around Australia. This report includes several types of cross-sectional sampling
designs which are taken from the sample of around 300 health facilities. There are a large
number of questions that are being asked to the nurses. The overall job satisfaction based on
the different types of job conditions that are estimated with the help of multilevel analysis.
The satisfaction level of the various respondents has a definite mean composite for the
adjusted odds ratios with all these kinds of factors available for this process.
(link.springer.com, 2020)

Recommendation

The determination for the satisfaction level of nursing background is evaluated with the
analysis of questions asked to the nurses. Generally, satisfied nursing also plays a different
role in the success of the organization. The basic awareness of the satisfaction of jobs is
related to several types of expectations about the job. The process of establishing the definite
level of job satisfaction is generated to focus on the employees about the various types of
work and the occurrence of relationships in the work environment. The satisfied employees
have some ultimate goal which is expected from the leader of the organization. Satisfied
employees or nurses also tend to be more types of products in an organization. The direct
18
WORK SATISFACTION AMONG NURSES IN A PRIVATE HOSPITALS OF AUSTRALIA

correlation is linked between the satisfaction of the patients and also staff satisfaction. The
research has also shown various types of relationships with co-workers to develop the
environment of the workplace to be better. The effects of the leadership styles also affect the
several managerial decisions taken in an organization. The influence of leadership quality
also affects the level of job satisfaction. The direct impact of independent variables is based
on the proportion of job satisfaction. (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, 2020)

Conclusion

From the above research study, it can be concluded that job satisfaction of employees plays
an important role in delivering excellent performance and productivity by the organization.
The factors that are responsible for improving the job satisfaction level in nurses in private
healthcare organizations have been analysed and assessed by secondary data and interviews
from them. The number of employees who are not satisfied with engaging in different
organizational activities is evident to be not satisfied with their job or organization. It is
observed that work environment, workplace practices, benefits from organization, motivation
from organizational team leaders and more are successful in increasing job satisfaction in
19
WORK SATISFACTION AMONG NURSES IN A PRIVATE HOSPITALS OF AUSTRALIA

organizational employees. In this research study, details regarding the work satisfaction of
Australian nurses in their organization have been received by secondary and primary data
collection. The websites, journals, books and online articles related to job satisfaction of
nurses in Australian healthcare organizations have been used in this research study for
identifying factors that imd\fluence job satisfaction level in nurses in positive or negative
ways.
