Abstract
Worsening job dissatisfaction among healthcare professionals has alarming implications for the quality of care and patient outcomes. By carefully implementing the job design elements of skill variety, job control, and incentives, employee satisfaction can be enhanced and turnover reduced. Values-based recruiting and transparent role expectations help ensure employees are properly matched with a suitable job. When jobs engage and empower workers, retention, performance, and patient care improve. Optimized job design is key for meaningful, fulfilling work.
