in Uganda, this may be an indication that there are differences in organizational support issues between the public and private not-for-profit hospitals. The present study had several limitations. Occupational stress measurement was based on self-report rather than by physiological biochemical analyses of blood or by physical and mental status assessments. The instruments utilized in the present study were based on American and European populations and may not have been culturally appropriate for the Ugandan nurses, and the use of a convenient sample may have biased the results.
Implications for nursing management
The Uganda Ministry of Health and nurse managers should put in place policies which enhance organizational support to the nurses such as hiring, retention and promotion policies. This will ensure that more nurses are on the job, reduce the work overload and increase job satisfaction and job performance. Further, Nurse Managers and other administrators in health care settings should be trained in human resource and organizational management so that they are equipped with skills to address the above issues.
Implications for nursing practice
Nurse Managers should identify motivation strategies such as good communication and recognition for excellent work, which may motivate workers and thus reduce perception of occupational stress and increase job satisfaction among their nurses. Nurse leaders should also advocate for better working conditions that would improve nurse satisfaction with their jobs, such as better pay, fringe benefits and provision of adequate resources.
Implications for further research
The results of this study highlight the fact that nursing experience and family responsibility influence hospital nurses perception of occupational stress, job satisfaction and job performance in Uganda. Furthermore, it indicates that there are differences in perception of occupational stress, job satisfaction and job performance among nurses in public and those in private not- for-profit hospitals. Therefore, further research on organizational factors which influence job satisfaction and job performance in public vs. private not-for-profit hospitals in Uganda is recommended. In addition, research on how family and or social support influences
nurses perception of occupational stress, job satisfaction and job performance is recommended.
