Issue statement
Low job satisfaction is the issue and this issue must be solved to improve organizational
performance
Background and discussion
● This issue exists due to the presence of several factors including extreme workload,
poor relationship with coworkers, workplace discrimination, insufficient job security
and others (Pisanti et al. 2016).
● High turnover of nursing staff and declining organizational performance are two
major situations that are causing it to be elevated.
● Low job satisfaction is leading to poor organizational performance and hospitals are
being unable to ensure good quality patient care. As mentioned by Gountas &
Gountas (2016), low job satisfaction in nurses leads to a decreasing level of patient
satisfaction. Reputation of the healthcare organization can be hampered with low job
satisfaction in nursing staff.
● Patients are being impacted by lower job satisfaction in nurses. Due to high turnover
rate, healthcare organizations are not being able to provide top-quality services to
patients (Halcomb and Ashley, 2017).
