ABSTRACT
This cross‐sectional study aimed to determine job satisfaction among the Jordanian dietitians, the factors associated with job satisfaction, and the relationship between job satisfaction and intent to stay. A convenience sample of 600 dieticians performed a self‐reported online survey. Most of the participants were females (83.2%), <30 years of age (68.3%) with a BSc degree in nutrition (77.3%). Results revealed that 20% of the dietitians were dissatisfied at work, 69.8% were neither dissatisfied nor satisfied, and 10.2% were satisfied. The satisfaction for the total score in all examined domains was neither dissatisfaction nor satisfaction, except for the salary. Participants with higher monthly salaries were 1.53 more likely to have higher job satisfaction than those with lower monthly salaries (CI 95%, (0.503–2.55)). Intention to stay was positively correlated with the total job satisfaction and all domains except the knowledge and skills domain (p‐value = 0.22). The main aspect that needs to be addressed and re‐evaluated is to improve dietitians job satisfaction is the salary. The findings of this study point to improving dietitians' work status to attain the best possible health care achievements.
Introduction
Job satisfaction could be defined as employees' attitude toward the company or firm, their job, their colleagues, and other factors that could relate to the work environment psychological atmosphere [1–4]. Job satisfaction can be set forth due to the positive reaction demonstrated toward the above mentioned factors, as well as hindered due to the negative interactions [5]. In addition, it is related to the intent to stay and it is an indicator of job quality and professional performance [3]. In the healthcare fields, job satisfaction is not only important for the institution professionals, but it also concerns all involved multidisciplinary parties including patients and clients [6].. This is because all these individuals could negatively impact the institution due to the low job satisfaction levels [3,6–10]. Job satisfaction level can range from maximum satisfaction to maximum dissatisfaction. However, this level is considered a dependent situation level, implying that it is based on individual functions and emotional and organizational variables [10]. Job recognition, salary, advancement opportunities, and achievement of personal goals have all been recognized as important factors in job satisfaction [2,4,6,8,9,11]. Salary is considered as the main influence for enhancing the job satisfaction level of employees [8,12].
