Job satisfaction is a
complex psychological phenomenon and an extremely important factor of work
quality and employees' work motivation. Considering that factors contributing to job (dis)satisfaction also affect the work
motivation, the level of job satisfaction is used in this psychometric
cross-sectional study as an indicator of work motivation among sample of 71
intensive care units (ICU) nurses in one of university hospitals in Belgrade,
Serbia. The level of job satisfaction was assessed by adapted and customized survey in Serbian
language, based on famous Spector's Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS). Analyzing
collected data, a high level of job
dissatisfaction among participants of our study was founded. Taking into
account the high degree of correlation between job satisfaction and work
motivation, we concluded that the level of work motivation in the observed
sample of ICU nurses was low at the moment of conducting this study, which
could point
to the existence of serious motivation problems in this field of nursing
profession, even though it is a employee sample from one institution, like in
our study.
