Relationships among thriving at work, organisational commitment and job satisfaction among Chinese front-line primary public health workers during COVID-19 pandemic: a structural equation model analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aims to explore the mediating effect and influence mechanism of organisational commitment on the association among thriving at work and job satisfaction among frontline primary public health workers (PHWs) in China during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Design

This study is a cross-sectional written survey.

Setting

We included 20 primary care units in northern provinces of China.

Participants

A total of 601 PHWs who worked in primary organisations and against COVID-19 on the front line were included.

Methods

We collected the data from the participants' written questionnaire (Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, thriving at work scale and organisational commitment scale), and programmed AMOS V.26.0 to develop a structural equation model (SEM) based on the relationships among the three variables.

Results

The thriving at work scores of the primary PHWs were (M=3.17, SD=0.65), and job satisfaction was (M=3.05, SD=0.69); the scores of their thriving at work, organisational commitment and job satisfaction were all significantly correlated (p<0.01); and the SEM indicated that organisational commitment had a significant partial mediating effect between thriving at work and job satisfaction. The overall effect value was 0.867, and the mediated effect value was 0.422, accounting for 48.7% of the total effect size.

Conclusion

The thriving at work and job satisfaction scores of primary PHWs in China are moderate, and thriving at work not only affects job satisfaction directly, but also indirectly through organisational commitment. This study suggests that health policy-makers should promote job satisfaction among PHWs through relative inventions aiming to improve their thriving at work and organisational commitment.

Project description:ObjectivesOrganisational commitment, job satisfaction and intention to leave constitute important characteristics of health professionals' employment status. Our study aimed at investigating the level of organisational commitment, job satisfaction in association with intention to leave among physicians.DesignA cross-sectional study.SettingA survey was conducted using self-administered questionnaires (the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire and the Job Satisfaction Survey) among all physicians working in the public health sector of Cyprus (October 2016-January 2017).ParticipantsOut of 690 physicians working in the public health sector who received an invitation to participate, 511 completed the survey and 9 were excluded. Therefore, 502 physicians were included in the final analysis (response rate 73%). A total of 188 cases were excluded because they were undetermined with respect to their intention to leave and a total of 75 cases were excluded from the regression analysis due to missing values on at least one variable or due to having values considered as outliers. Therefore, a total of 239 physicians (120 men and 119 women) were included in the current analysis.Primary and secondary outcome measuresPhysicians' intention to leave.ResultsA considerably large percentage of physicians (72.8%) working in the public hospitals and healthcare centres of Cyprus reported their intention to leave their job. Moreover, the majority of employees in public hospitals (78.4%) intended to leave their job, while only 21.6% of employees in health centres reported an intention to leave (p<0.001). The study also confirmed that organisational commitment and job satisfaction were negatively correlated with intention to leave. In addition, the results of this study demonstrate that certain demographics also influence physicians' intention to leave including age, gender and medical specialisation.ConclusionsCertain physicians' demographics, organisational commitment and job satisfaction constitute important parameters influencing physicians' intention to leave their job.

Project description:BackgroundMusculoskeletal disorders including low back pain have major individual and socioeconomic consequences as it often leads to disability and long-term sick leave and exclusion from working life. Predictors of disability and return to work often differ, and the dominant knowledge is on predictors for prolonged sick leave and disability. Therefore it is also important to identify key predictors for return to work. The aim of the study was to assess if overall job satisfaction and expectancies of return to work predicts actual return to work after 12 months, among employees with long lasting low back pain, and to assess if there were gender differences in the predictors.MethodsData from the Cognitive interventions and nutritional supplements trial (CINS Trial) was used. Predictors for return to work were examined in 574 employees that had been on sick leave 2-10 months for low back pain, before entering the trial. Data were analysed with multiple logistic regression models stratified by gender, and adjusted for potential confounders.ResultsRegardless of gender high expectancies were a strong and significant predictor of return to work at 12 months, while high levels of job satisfaction were not a significant predictor. There were no differences in the levels of expectancies or overall job satisfaction between men and women. However, men had in general higher odds of returning to work compared with women.ConclusionsAmong individuals with long lasting low back pain high expectancies of returning to work were strongly associated with successful return to work. We do not know what factors influence individual expectancies of return to work. Screening expectancies and giving individuals with low expectancies interventions with a goal to change expectancies of return to work, such as CBT or self-management interventions, may contribute to increase actual return to work.Trial registrationhttp://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ , with registration number NCT00463970 . The trial was registered at the 18th of April 2007.
