Overview

Prospective cohort study reveals declining job satisfaction linked to effort-reward imbalance via psychological resources in healthcare workers, highlighting targets for workplace intervention.

Key Points

  • To evaluate longitudinal within-person associations between occupational stress, psychological resources, coping strategies, and job satisfaction over time among healthcare professionals.
  • Three-wave prospective cohort study of 1,500 healthcare workers across 15 healthcare facilities in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, assessed across three time points over 12 months with 92.6% retention.
  • Measured Effort–Reward Imbalance (ERI), resilience, perceived social and organizational support, coping responses, and job satisfaction trajectories using latent growth curve and random intercept cross-lagged panel modeling.
  • Mean job satisfaction scores declined from T1 to T2 (mixed-effects contrast: b = -5.10, p < .001) and from T2 to T3 (b = -1.25, p < .001; contrast-of-contrasts b = 3.85, p < .001).
  • Baseline effort-reward imbalance was indirectly associated with reduced job satisfaction at T3 across all five mediators (Benjamini–Hochberg q < 0.001), including a primary resilience pathway (indirect effect = -1.28, 95% Monte Carlo CI [-1.71, -0.85]).
