Research Article: Leveraging a Synergy in Motivation to Effect Job Satisfaction of Healthcare Professionals in Public Blood Bank Units: A Cross-Sectional Study
Abstract:
Attaining exceptional quality in healthcare calls for not only the acquisition of relevant knowledge and skills by healthcare personnel but also adequate motivation for the tasks they undertake. Developing highly motivated, skilled, and supported health workers is vital in advancing health in every health system and achieving national and universal health goals. The motivation of healthcare professionals is frequently compromised as a result of elevated levels of stress. Healthcare personnel in Serbia encounter elevated levels of work-related stress, mostly attributed to their working environment. The state-funded medical institutes exhibit inadequate equipment and a shortage of skilled employees, resulting in a significant burden of labor. While the healthcare profession is inherently demanding, the working circumstances in Serbia for those in this field are notably challenging. In addition to well-recognized factors of professional stress, such as a high level of responsibility for human life, shift work, and unpredictability, the COVID- pandemic has introduced an extra stressor in blood bank facilities. Workers in the transfusion medicine unit are subjected to exposure to many sources of infection, as well as chemical and biological agents, hence leading to an increased level of stress. The subject of motivation remains an ongoing important area of research in the field of management, consistently garnering the interest of scholars. The significance of this lies in its critical implications for the behaviors of workers, which can significantly impact the prosperity of a healthcare establishment.
