ORGANIZATIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS OF JOB SATISFACTION OF STAFF OF HEALTH INSTITUTIONS
The article proves the relevance of the search for organizational and psychological conditions of satisfaction with work of healthcare institutions employees, among which a specific place is held by individual leader style. It is established that the heads of the departments realize mainly three styles of making management decisions: "liberal", "authoritarian" and "situational". The analysis of satisfaction with work indicators in case of different styles of decision acceptance by "linear" managers showed that the high satisfaction level in doctors’ groups directed by "liberal" heads of departments is most expressed. Average values prevail in the groups headed by the "situational" head. The doctors working in the departments headed by the manager with prevalence of "authoritative" style of management decision acceptance are least satisfied with management relations and general work process. The organizational and psychological contradiction is noted: between personal doctors perception of managerial style of the direct head, on the one hand, and amount of requirements of "control" type imposed to the head of department - with another. The aspiration to rely on directive methods of management decisions acceptance, the tendency of rigid management practices which is combined with ability to take the responsibility in decision making situations - the qualities of the head of "linear" level which are most appropriate to the duties of the head of the healthcare department. The task is set for the next steps in the ongoing research: to identify the personal resources of the "linear" level leader, providing a positive link between the style of making decisions that are most effective in the healthcare setting, success in achieving of joint work results, on the one hand, and the satisfaction with work stimulating motivation of personnel to effective joint activities - with another. The solution of this problem will allow to determine the work directions by forming of the personnel reserve of the heads of the departments.
