Healthcare professionals and job satisfaction, are we missing the point

This book is dedicated to all healthcare professionals who have dedicated their life to serve humanity and those who are continuosly faced with a great task of making quality healthcare decisions. Relationships have been reported between job satisfaction, productivity, absenteeism and turnover among healthcare employees and as such it affects employees' organizational commitment and the quality of healthcare services. Satisfaction with one's job can affect not only motivation at work but also career decisions, relationship with others and personal health. Those who are working in a profession that is extremely demanding and sometimes unpredictable can be susceptible to feelings of uncertainty and reduced job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is also an essential part of ensuring high quality care.
