Impact of Teamwork Attitude on Job Satisfaction and Intent to Leave in Surgical Teams

Öz

Background: It is known that a positive team understanding has a central importance as one of the main reasons affecting the job satisfaction and intention to leave of the healthcare team members. Objectives: The study was carried out to determine the predictive effect of teamwork attitude of surgical team workers in a university hospital on job satisfaction and intention to leave. Methods: The sample of the study included physicians and nurses from the surgical unit of a university hospital (n: 240). Socio-demographic and work characteristics form, Teamwork Attitude Scale, single-item question for job satisfaction and intention to leave the profession were used as data collection tools. Data were evaluated with descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation Analysis and Linear Regression Analysis. Results: The teamwork attitudes of the surgical team members were found at a good level and their job satisfaction was at a moderate level. While 50.4% of the surgical team employees intend to leave their unit, 49.6% intend to leave their institutions and 36.7% to leave their profession. The sub-dimensions of the teamwork attitude scale explain 6% of the total variance in job satisfaction levels. The sub-dimensions of the teamwork attitude scale explain 7% of the intention to leave the unit, 5% of the intention to leave the organization and 9% of the intention to leave the profession. Conclusion: It has been determined that teamwork attitude in surgical teams has a low level of predictive effect on job satisfaction and intention to leave.

Cerrahi Ekiplerde Ekip Çalışması Tutumunun İş Doyumu ve İşten Ayrılma Niyeti Üzerine Etkisi

Öz

Giriş: Olumlu bir ekip anlayışının, sağlık hizmeti veren ekip üyelerinin iş doyumu ve işten ayrılma niyetini etkileyen temel nedenlerden biri olarak merkezi bir öneme sahip olduğu bilinmektedir. Amaç: Çalışma, bir üniversite hastanesindeki cerrahi ekip çalışanlarının ekip çalışması tutumunun, iş doyumu ile işten ayrılma niyeti üzerine yordayıcı etkisini belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir Yöntem: Çalışma tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tasarımdadır. Bir üniversite hastanesinin cerrahi kliniklerinde, cerrahi yoğun bakımlarında, ameliyathanelerinde çalışan ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden hekim ve hemşireler araştırma örneklemine dahil edilmiştir (n:240). Veriler Kasım- Aralık 2019 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak sosyo demografik ve çalışma özellikleri formu, Ekip Çalışması Tutum Ölçeği, iş doyumu ve meslekten ayrılma niyeti için tek maddeli soru kullanılmıştır. Veriler, tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Pearson Korelasyon Analizi ve Doğrusal Regresyon Analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Cerrahi ekip çalışanlarının ekip çalışması tutumları iyi düzeyde ve iş doyumları ise orta düzeyde bulunmuştur. Katılımcıların %50.4’ü çalıştıkları birimden ayrılma niyetindeyken, %49.6’sı kurumlarından, %36.7’si mesleklerinden ayrılma niyetindedir. Ekip çalışması tutum ölçeğinin alt boyutları, iş doyumu düzeylerindeki toplam varyansın %6’sını açıklamaktadır. Ekip çalışması tutum ölçeğinin alt boyutları, birimden ayrılma niyetinin %7’sini, kurumdan ayrılma niyetinin %5’ini ve meslekten ayrılma niyetinin %9’unu açıklamaktadır. Sonuç: Cerrahi ekiplerde ekip çalışması tutumunun iş doyumu ve işten ayrılma niyeti üzerine düşük düzeyde yordayıcı etkisi olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçların, olumlu ekip çalışma ortamının sağlanması ile iş doyumunu artıracak ve işten ayrılma niyetini azaltacak stratejilerin bir kısmının belirlenmesinde yöneticilere yol gösterici olması beklenmektedir.
