Abstract

<p>This study analyzes the results of a nationwide large-scale survey of hospital dieticians to explore factors affecting job satisfaction, including personal attributes, working conditions, occupational stress, support resources, and intention to continue working. Qualitative stress, a product of demands for advanced knowledge and skills, was found to increase job satisfaction, leading individuals to perceive their work as a good ‘fit’ and meaningful. On the other hand, physical stress decreased job satisfaction by heightening feelings of fatigue and depression. Three factors noted to improve job satisfaction-opportunities to improve one’s skills in a goal-oriented setting, proper recognition of one’s efforts, and good interpersonal relations in the workplace-also strongly influenced intention to continue working.</p><p>Finally, job satisfaction was greatly influenced by differences in working conditions and responsibilities across different employers and qualifications: this trend appears unique to hospital dietitians.</p>
