Abstract

Background
Assessing employee satisfaction and analyzing the work environment are crucial to increasing productivity and improving healthcare delivery. Given the multitude of aspects related to areas of work life, it is important to identify those that have a differential relationship with job satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to examine how the various areas of work life for health system employees – workload, control, rewards, community, sense of justice, and values – correlate with their perceived job satisfaction.

Material and methods
The study group consisted of 162 healthcare system employees. Subjective assessment of work areas was made using the Areas of Worklife Survey questionnaire, and the Job Satisfaction Survey was used to measure job satisfaction.

Results
There was a significant correlation between work-life area scores and job satisfaction ( p < .001). Gender was a significant differentiating factor in the results that related to workload, control of work behavior, satisfaction with rewards, and values. Among the studied occupational groups, the highest autonomy (p < .001), highest reward satisfaction (p < .001), better-rated workplace social relations and highest compliance (p = .03), and best-rated values (p ≤ .03) were most frequently observed among physicians. On the sense of justice scale, some of the highest values were obtained among electroradiologists/radiologists and physicians (p ≤ .02). The highest values on the job satisfaction scale were observed among physicians (31.83) and electroradiologists/radiologists (29.0) (p < .001).

Conclusion
All areas of work life are significant predictors of job satisfaction.
