Assignment - 1 (STA630)
Scenario
A researcher has planned
to study the job satisfaction of doctors who are working in COVID-19 wards of
the hospitals in Lahore. While reviewing the literature, he found that during
COVID-19 doctors’ job satisfaction is associated with the provision of PPE (Personal
Protective Equipment), Increase in Salary, Special Allowance, Provision of
special medical facilities, reduced working hours. He found various empirical
studies supporting these results.
Further,
he proposed the following theoretical framework which is also supported by the
relevant literature. An increase in Salary will lead to an increase in job
satisfaction of doctors who are working in COVID-19 wards of the hospitals in
Lahore. Doctors will be more satisfied with their job if their working hours
are reduced. So, an increase in salary will lead to an increase in job
satisfaction and reduced working hours will strengthen this relationship.
Data
will be collected once only from those doctors who are doing their duties in
COVID-19 wards of the hospitals in Lahore city. Researcher selected only 10 big
hospitals of Lahore. A sample size of 200 doctors has been decided to collect
the data. A structured questionnaire having 5point Likert scale will be used to
collect the data from the doctors about their job satisfaction. The findings of
the study will be presented to the Govt, authorities for policy
recommendations.
