Abstract

Methods: Explanatory sequential research design was applied. Non-probability convenience sampling technique was used to determine the sample size using Weiers formula. Scales adopted in the current study were validated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. To test the hypothesis correlation, the hierarchical multiple regression was used. In the second stage, semi-structured face-to-face interviews from 35 interviewees were conducted and transcribed in Nvivo.
Results: Job descriptive index, cognitive style index (CSI), cognitive style indicator, and turnover intention scales were found to be reliable. Furthermore, correlation analysis shows that the factors of job satisfaction were significantly correlated with turnover intention. In addition, findings of the interviews highlighted the importance of cognitive styles for increasing the job satisfaction of health-care professionals.
Conclusions: Study concludes that the involvement of health-care professionals in making health-care policies enhances their job satisfaction that also reflected on their performance. Moreover, it also reduces their turnover intention of workforce.
