Management styles and their effects on job satisfaction for radiographers in Gauteng province, South Africa

Résumé

Abstract Background: Management styles have been linked to high turn-over amongst health care professionals. Much of the available literature has been on nursing and other medical professional, while on few studies have been on radiographers. This study explored the influence of management styles on intention to leave amongst radiographers employed by tertiary hospitals in the Gauteng province, South Africa. Methods: A survey was conducted in four public tertiary hospitals within the Gauteng province. Data was collected from November 2018 to May 2019 and all radiographers who were present at the time of data collection were requested to participate. Results: The results of the Pearson’s test showed that there was a negative correlation between intention to leave and supervision, r = -.344, p= .000. In addition, the results also showed that there was difference in satisfaction with supervision across age, gender, race and tertiary hospital. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that management styles in tertiary hospitals affect job satisfaction and ultimately intent to leave. Therefore, it is worth evaluating the type of management styles used by x-ray managers to improve retention of radiographers in public tertiary hospitals. Keywords: Radiographers, intent to leave, job satisfaction and management.
