Although the work of home health aides is very demanding physically and emotionally, they rarely receive support from peers or from the organizations for which they work. This study is aimed at examining the influence of organizational values and work-related compensation on job satisfaction of home health aides. A total of 3,377 home health aides and 1,036 home health agencies were selected from the nationally representative sample. The number of work-related fringe benefits was highly associated with job satisfaction of home health aides. Household income was found to be negatively associated with job satisfaction. Significant cross-level interaction effects revealed that hourly wage had a stronger relationship with job satisfaction when individual home health aides worked for agencies that were perceived to recognize the value of home health aides. We conclude that organizational values significantly moderate the relationship between work-related factors and job satisfaction. The findings suggest that home health care facility leaders need to recognize explicitly the value of home health workers, to provide them with additional fringe benefits so that workers feel valued and to adopt a patient assignment system that allows strengthening of patient-worker bonds for enhancing home health aides’ job satisfaction.

The purpose of this study was to investigate job satisfaction among hospice interdisciplinary team members, which included social workers, nurses, and other professionals (i.e., home health aides and spiritual care providers.) Interdisciplinary team members ( N = 76) from four hospices in the midwest participated in the study. One way analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that significant differences in satisfaction resulted in the areas of distributive justice, autonomy, and opportunity between social workers, nurses, and other interdisciplinary team members.

Abstract. Person–job (or needs–supplies) discrepancy/fit theories posit that job satisfaction depends on work supplying what employees want and thus expect associations between having supervisory power and job satisfaction to be more positive in individuals who value power and in societies that endorse power values and power distance (e.g., respecting/obeying superiors). Using multilevel modeling on 30,683 European Social Survey respondents from 31 countries revealed that overseeing supervisees was positively associated with job satisfaction, and as hypothesized, this association was stronger among individuals with stronger power values and in nations with greater levels of power values or power distance. The results suggest that workplace power can have a meaningful impact on job satisfaction, especially over time in individuals or societies that esteem power.
