Abstract/Summary:
Christian-denomination-affiliated hospitals have a significant presence in the delivery of healthcare in the United States; yet, a lack of understanding exists as to how religious affiliation and organizational environment influence job satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to explore if the religious affiliation of hospital workers (Christian or non-Christian) and organizational environment (Christian-denomination-affiliated or non-Christian-denomination-affiliated) affect the job satisfaction of hospital workers. A non-experimental, cross-sectional survey measured the overall job satisfaction of United States hospital workers. The results did not support differences existing among the overall job satisfaction of United States hospital workers based on organizational environment or religious affiliation. Correlations occurred among the 12 independent variables and Christians, non-Christians, Christian-denomination-affiliated hospitals, and non-Christian-denomination-affiliated hospitals.
