[ relationship between job satisfaction and Hertzberg's motivative-hygienic factors in staffs of Yasouj hospitals]

Efficacy and success of each organization depends on its employee's efforts as well as their job satisfaction. Our study was conducted to determine the relationship between job satisfaction and Hertzberg's motivative-hygienic factors in staff of Yasouj hospitals. In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 100 staff of Yasouj hospitals were selected randomly and participated in the research. The data were collected via a self-report standardized questionnaire. All variables were assessed using a 5-point scale [1-5]. Among the hygienic factors, physical environment and job security were the most important factors. Among the motivative factors, perception of success in labor and myrtle concern in labor was the most important factors. Motivative factors were more efficient than hygienic factors for job motivation. Most of staff believed that welfare opportunities, inequity, incompetence, are the most negative important factors in work promotion. There was a significant relationship between age, salary situation and hygienic factors. However, there were no significant differences in regard of gender, marriage, employment status, academic achievement and motivative-hygienic factors. Planning to provide "suitable salary", "job security", "policy", "work condition", "job responsibility", "interest in the job" and "recognition" can be impressive in employee performance improvement
