Abstract

This study aimed to investigate opinions of health workers about work

place on behalf of workers’ rights, occupational safety and relations with

administration in a public hospital. Data were gained from 93 health

workers working in a district of Diyarbakır , Bismil Public Hospital. A

survey was conducted among health staff face to face and obtained data

were analyzed by SPSS 15.0 package program. Findings showed that 34,4%

of participants were between age of 26-30, 49,5% were female and 83,9%

were married. While 53,8% of health staff expressed that they were able to

report their problems to hospital management, 6,5% of them stated that

directory of hospital didn’t mind problems of workers. 44,1% of health staff

stated that hospital management didn’t take enough measures in order to

provide safety at work. It was also found that 78,5% of participants were

satisfied with trainings for vision and quality of hospital but 33,6% were

unsatisfied with trainings for reporting workplace violence in the hospital.

74,2% expressed that employees were not awarded frequently in the

hospital. It was found that there was a negative relationship between age

and satisfaction about management relations in the hospital (-,245,

p<0,05). This may result from higher expectations of older workers. Also

health workers having more work experience were not satisfied with

management relations (,269, p<0,01).

Health workers who thought they were working in a safe workplace were

more satisfied with management relations (,342, p<0,01). When relationship

between work experience and satisfaction with definition of task was

analyzed, a negative correlation was found (-,229, p<0,01). A positive

correlation was found between effective use of human resources and precise

task definition ( ,288, p<0,01). As a result it can be said that priority should

be given to improve relationships between management and staffs.

Employees should feel themselves as a part of the organization.
