Understanding Job Satisfaction in Paramedical Staff: The Interplay of Organizational Commitment, Locus of Control, Experience, and Marital Status

Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the impact of organizational commitment, locus of control, experience, and marital status on job satisfaction among paramedical staff. A set of tools containing job satisfaction, organizational commitment, locus of control, and biographical data sheets were used to gather data from a sample of paramedical staff. The collected data were then analyzed using t-tests to determine if there are any significant differences between the various groups that make up the paramedical staff population. The findings of the study revealed several significant relationships between the variables of interest. Firstly, it was found that the highly committed group of paramedical staff exhibited higher levels of job satisfaction compared to their counterparts. Secondly, a significant difference was observed between the level of job satisfaction experienced by internally controlled and externally controlled paramedical staff. The internally controlled group, characterized by a belief in their ability to influence events, reported significantly higher levels of job satisfaction than their externally controlled counterparts. Furthermore, the study revealed that highly experienced paramedical staff exhibited a significantly greater degree of job satisfaction compared to their less experienced counterparts. Lastly, it was found that married staff reported significantly higher levels of job satisfaction compared to unmarried counterparts. These findings highlight the importance of considering these factors when designing and implementing strategies to enhance job satisfaction among paramedical staff.
