Perception,of organisational climate and job satisfaction in nursing staff personnel - Influence of personality and self-efficacy

The purpose of this study was to see the influence of an individual's personality traits and self-efficacy on perception of organisational climate and job satisfaction among hospital employees. Data was obtained by means of questionnaires from a sample of 36 nurses, working in Intensive Care Units of three private hospitals in Kolkata, India. Results indicate significant positive correlation between personality characteristics of individuals, organisational climate, and job satisfaction. Step-wise linear regression analyses indicate an intuitive and predictable pattern of relations between openness to experience, self-efficacy and organisational climate. Furthermore, agreeableness has shown a positive impact on job satisfaction.
