Abstract
Objective:
To assess job satisfaction in a public hospital according to workers' gender.
Methods:
It was conducted a secondary analysis with mixed method, from a sample of 308 subjects: 240 women and 68 men.
Results:
Almost half of women played functions of nursing. The most common function among men was the administrative. Men showed greater overall satisfaction, as well as for the three domains assessed. In adjusted analyses, statistical significance was observed only for the "Working Conditions" domain, indicating that the physical aspects of the job generate the larger asymmetries between the genders, especially in relation to toilets and level of noise in the environment.
Conclusion:
Since the other differences between the groups did not result significant in the adjusted analysis, it is concluded that the lower levels of satisfaction of women have been influenced by their expressive concentration in nursing functions, the most dissatisfied professional group in this study.
