Sociodemographic characterization of job satisfaction in hospital staff

Abstract

Objective: the purpose was to determine the association of job satisfaction with the sociodemographic variables of the captive population. Materials and methods: it was a transversal and analytical design with a sample of 526 workers, to whom a questionnaire of sociodemographic and labor data was applied, and the Questionnaire of Job Satisfaction S21/ 26. It presents six factors that allow to evaluate Satisfaction with Oversight and Participation in the Organization (I), with Remuneration and Benefits (II), Intrinsic Satisfaction (III), with the Physical Environment (IV), with Quantity of Production (V) and with Quality of Production (VI). Results: age was found to be associated with dimensions I and II with p= 0,037 and p= 0,038 respectively. The variable of schooling was associated with dimensions IV (p= 0,008), V (p= 0,000) and VI (p= 0,059). The labour category variable had a value of p= 0.010, p= 0.000 and p= 0.001 for dimensions IV, V and VI, respectively. Finally, the variable working seniority was associated with dimension I (p=0.057). Conclusions: It is concluded that the institution studied generally offers its workers the means that satisfy their professional expectations, but emphasis should be placed on improving the dimensions in which dissatisfaction is generated in order to forge an environment conducive to the labour development of the workers and thus contribute to improving their quality of life.
