¶ … daunting undertaking, in large part due to the statistical tests and complex language involved (Coughlan, Cronin & Ryan, 2007). Whatever the case, the results of the analysis must be presented in a clear, readable manner, often with the use of tables, graphs, and charts. In Hayes, Douglas & Bonner's (2015) article, data analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), a common data analysis tool. The results were presented with the help of both descriptive and inferential statistics. Measures of central tendency such as frequency, mean, and standard deviation as well as tables and graphs were used to present data relating to demographic characteristics, work environments, job stress, job satisfaction, and burnout. T-tests, ANOVAs, and correlation analyses were then conducted to explore relationships between nurse and work environment characteristics, job stress, job satisfaction, and burnout.
The study found that there were high levels of burnout amongst the participants despite an acceptably high level of job satisfaction and positive perception of the work environment. It was further found that younger nurses and those with a shorter working duration were more likely to experience stress and burnout compared to older and more experienced nurses. The study also found a strong correlation between high contentment with the job environment and satisfaction with work, reduced job stress, and psychological exhaustion.
The proportion...
Generally, at least 50% of the sample should participate in the study if response bias is to be minimized or avoided (Coughlan, Cronin & Ryan, 2007). In Hayes, Douglas & Bonner's (2015) study, there was a 78% completion rate. This is a sufficient response rate. There is, therefore, strong reliability and validity of the findings. Validity was further enhanced by considering statistical significance as P < 0.05 for each analysis.
Discussion
The results sections should be followed by a logical discussion of the findings, with clear reference to the research problem and the literature review (Coughlan, Cronin & Ryan, 2007). The discussion section in Hayes, Douglas & Bonner's (2015) article clearly provides literature to support the results of the study. From the discussion, it is evident that burnout is a major problem amongst haemodialysis nurses despite a favorable work environment and desirable job satisfaction levels. Therefore, it is recommended that haemodialysis units put measures in place to address nurse burnout. In addition, further research is required to understand other aspects that may affect…

At the level of the individual worker, motivation and job satisfaction among other things, generate a sense of security and confidence. Moreover, it offers them the opportunity for flexibility where they are able to apply varied approaches in meeting work requirements (Adeyinka et al., 2007, pp. 3-15). This makes the work environment interesting thus providing the employees with the pleasure and urge to facing their day-to-day lives at the workplace.
Job Satisfaction and Disabled Workers Productivity The theoretical frameworks this research will rely on are well-established. The theoretical framework in this study is constructed on Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs. Maslow proposed that unless the basic lower needs of the human being were met that the human would not even acknowledge the higher level needs. Maslow conceptualized this hierarchy as shown in the following illustration. Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs Personality & Spirituality

The time frame was from one month February 1st to February 29th. Single-item questions were used while basing the question in terms of "how satisfied are you with your job?" Three response scales were used: normal, very satisfied, not at all satisfied. The framed question was to measure the independent variables, job satisfaction, based on level of job satisfaction from the time they have spent in their work place, (Scott

Job Satisfaction in Nursing Related to Generational Differences The research methodology that will be used is the observational research method since it will involve a phenomena being observed and recording of information acquired. It will also be largely qualitative in nature since it will be dealing with attitude on nursing as a career and the effect that the generational gap between the varying generations has on the attrition levels. This method
