The Effects of Organizational Conflict, Job Stress, and Emotional Burn-out on Job Satisfaction of Administrative Staff of National University Hospitals

Abstract

This study examined the effects of organizational conflicts, job stress, and emotional burn-out on the job satisfaction among the administrative staff working at national university hospitals. The 384 administrative staff from 10 national university hospitals were surveyed from July 10 to August 20, 2018, using structured self-administered questionnaires. As a result, the average score of job satisfaction was a significantly lower in the groups with higher scores of organizational conflicts (p<0.001), higher scores of job stress (p<0.001) and higher scores of emotional burn-out (p<0.001). Regarding the correlation of job satisfaction with organizational conflicts, job stress and emotional burn-out, the score of job satisfaction was negatively correlated with organizational conflicts, job stress and emotional burn-out. The above study results suggest that job satisfaction was significantly related to organizational conflicts, job stress, and emotional burn-out. In particular, job satisfaction was influenced more by organizational conflict than job stress and burn-out.
