Abstract: (280 Views)
The health team (doctors, nurses, health workers, faculty members, and university professors) is one of the most important and sensitive jobs in the country that deals with people's lives and health. This profession requires high intelligence and a lot of effort to achieve it and has a special place in the society. For this reason, the satisfaction of employees in this profession and the factors that affect this satisfaction are more important than other jobs.
One of the ways to maintain and motivate the human force is to meet their needs. According to Maslow's theory, in order for people to reach the stage of self-actualization, it is necessary that their biological needs, including housing, food, and the like, are met, and that these needs are met through job security, appropriate wages, and related benefits. One of the factors that cause dissatisfaction in this valuable profession is the disproportion between the salary and benefits received with the level of education, importance, sensitivity, and legal and moral responsibilities in this profession. This important matter has been aggravated by the inflation caused by the sanctions against the people.
Therefore, health-related professions are considered as important, essential, and influential professions in different societies and cultures since long ago, in terms of the fact that they are directly related to human health. In order to overcome challenges such as the reduction of job motivation, the migration of elites, and the rare phenomenon of receipts outside of the approved tariff, it is necessary to respect their high status and preserve the dignity of these funds and scientists of the country; Therefore, it is suggested to increase the motivation and prevent brain drain from the country, planners, policy makers, and officials should adjust the salaries and benefits according to the inflation and provide welfare services and comfortable conditions for them.
