LID - 10.2174/1745017901511010004 [doi]
AB  - INTRODUCTION: Organizational wellbeing in mental health services influences the 
      outcomes of users and their families. Workers should be motivated, have a 
      positive morale and be able to recognize values and the deep meaning of their 
      work. This survey aims to examine the organizational wellbeing of the services 
      provided by the Department of Mental Health (DSM) in Lanusei (Italy) and the 
      correlations between job satisfaction and the psychosomatic health of its 
      workers. MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY: Descriptive-correlational study on a 
      population of 43 mental health workers. Organizational wellbeing, as well as 
      workers' job satisfaction and psychosomatic health, were measured using the 
      "Multidimensional Organizational Health Questionnaire" (MOHQ). It is a 
      self-report questionnaire able to examine 14 dimensions of organizational 
      wellbeing, 14 indicators about individual discomfort, 12 indicators about 
      individual wellbeing, 8 psychosomatic symptoms related to job distress. RESULTS: 
      31 workers (72%) participated in the survey. Regarding the organizational 
      wellbeing of DSM, the general profile mean+/-sd was 2.66+/-0.28 (values from 1 to 4: 
      1=never, 4=often). Job satisfaction was negatively correlated with headaches and 
      concentration difficulties (R=-.584, p=0.001), nervousness, restlessness, anxiety 
      (R=-.571, p=0.001), sense of excessive fatigue (R=-.634, p=0.000) and sense of 
      depression (R=-.558, p=0.001) reported by workers. CONCLUSIONS: Data denoted an 
      overall healthy state of the DSM. There were significant correlations between 
      workers' job satisfaction and their psychosomatic health. The recognition and 
      restitution about the weakness and strengths of the services could be useful to 
      point out some organizational development perspectives.
