Top Six Indicators to Employee Satisfaction March 05, 2009 Research of disengaged healthcare employees shows trend toward extrinsic motivators
Recent survey results show that disengaged healthcare employees place greater importance on "pay" and "career advancement" opportunities as determinants of their overall job satisfaction than their engaged or ambivalent peers.
HR Solutions' research, released yesterday, analyzes how engaged, disengaged and ambivalent healthcare employees categorized indicators to their future job satisfaction.
"Our findings reinforce the notion that disengaged employees demonstrate a greater focus than their peers on extrinsic factors (pay and career advancement/promotions), that relate to the idea of, "What can I get?'" explains Murat Philippe, principal consultant for HR Solutions, Inc. "In contrast, engaged employees, being more intrinsically motivated (What can I give?), place greater importance on other factors (training, supervision, and policies/procedures) than their ambivalent and disengaged co-workers."
HR Solutions' Normative Database is comprised of over 2.2 million respondents from 2,100 organizations across various industries; all surveyed by HR Solutions, Inc.
