Employees Satisfaction Towards Health And Safety Measures In Selected Hospital In Tamil Nadu
Abstract
This study investigates employee satisfaction with health and safety measures in hospitals in Tamil Nadu, addressing a gap in understanding how various health and safety protocols impact overall job satisfaction. The research utilized a cross-sectional survey of 455 hospital employees, assessing their satisfaction with personal protective equipment (PPE), workplace hygiene, emergency response plans, safety training, and regular health check-ups. The analysis revealed significant differences in satisfaction levels across job roles, with nurses reporting higher satisfaction compared to doctors, administrative staff, and support staff.
Younger employees also expressed higher satisfaction levels than their older counterparts. The study found that satisfaction with specific health and safety measures positively correlates with overall job satisfaction, with workplace hygiene and safety training being particularly impactful. These findings suggest that hospitals should tailor health and safety interventions to meet the needs of different employee groups and focus on improving areas with lower satisfaction scores to enhance overall employee morale and workplace effectiveness.
