OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of job rotation of hospital nursing staff on job satisfaction and work engagement, and to investigate the determinant factors and their correlation with demographic characteristics.
METHOD For the scope of this study, a structured questionnaire with closed-ended questions was created, based on three research tools that had been used in corresponding studies. The questionnaire was completed by 211 nurses working in a Greek regional general hospital. Data analysis was performed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 24.0.
RESULTS Positive correlation was observed between job rotation, job satisfaction and work engagement. The overall attitude of the nurses towards job rotation was neutral. They recorded neutral to moderate job satisfaction, moderate degrees of vigor and absorption, and a moderate to high degree of dedication. The gender and years of service of the nurses showed no effect on their job satisfaction, work engagement and attitude towards job rotation, but their age appeared to affect their job satisfaction, and their educational background their work engagement. Work position is a factor correlated to both work engagement and attitude towards job rotation.
CONCLUSIONS These findings support the multidimensional impact of job rotation of hospital nursing staff, and its positive effects on their job satisfaction and work engagement. The findings also address the need for further investigation.
Key words: Job rotation, Job satisfaction, Nurses, Work engagement.
