Abstract

This study examines workplace stress, social support and coping strategy as predictors of mental well-being among nurses in Ibadan North Local Government (LGA) Oyo State, Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey research design was adopted while purposive sampling technique was used to select the LGA. Data were collected using validated scales from 163 participants and analyzed using zero-order correlation statistics and multiple regression analysis to test four hypotheses which were accepted at p < .05 level of significance. The result revealed that significant others support and friends social support independently predicted mental well-being among nurses among study participants. Furthermore, coping strategy and workplace stress independently predicted mental well-being among nurses in the study population. Finally, workload stress, social support and coping strategy jointly predicted mental well-being among study participants. The study concluded that workplace stress, social support and coping strategy are robust predictors of mental well-being among nurses. It is recommended that management of health institutions should integrate training and education programmers that focus on coping strategy and stress reduction techniques that foster positive relationships with friends and significant others to enhance mental well-being among nurse’s workforce.

Abstract

Job satisfaction contributes to individual and organizational performance. It has been investigated using different predictors among workers in different occupations. However, studies examining job satisfaction among university security staff tend to be lacking. Therefore, this study examines the predictability of occupational stress and work engagement on job satisfaction among security staff of the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted while data were  collected from 197 participants using validated scales. Data collected  were analyzed using multiple regression to test an hypothesis which was accepted at p < .01 level of significance. The result revealed that occupational stress and work engagement jointly predicted job satisfaction among study participants [R2=.13, F(2,195) = 14.64, p <.01]. In addition, occupational stress (β=.33, p <.01) and work engagement (β = -.16, p <.01) independently predicted job satisfaction among study participants. The study concluded that occupational stress and work engagement marginally predicted job satisfaction among study participants. The implication of this finding is that security staff of the University of Ibadan are working with low job satisfaction as they  experienced occupational stress and low work engagement. The study recommended that the university administrators should design and implement policies that would reduce occupational stress and increase work engagement  to improve their  job satisfaction
