Abstract
Background and Objective: Occupation and its consequences is a phenomenon that has attracted the attention of health professionals in recent years. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and religious coping skills, spiritual experiences and mental well-being among Payme-Noor University staff.
Methods: This study is cross-sectional descriptive-correlational. The statistical population consisted of all the employees working in Kermanshah Payame Noor University centers in the second half of 2018, out of whom 150 were selected by simple random sampling. Data collection tools consisted of religious coping, spiritual experience, mental well-being and job satisfaction questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, multiple regression and path analysis. In this study, all ethical considerations have been observed and no conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
Results: The results of this study showed that there was a relationship between religious coping skills and spiritual experiences and job satisfaction. In particular, it is possible to predict the job satisfaction among the employees of Payame Noor University through these two variables. The results of analysis showed that religious coping skills and spiritual experiences, as mediated by mental well-being, have an indirect effect on academic employees’ satisfaction, but mental well-being has a direct effect on job satisfaction.
Conclusion: Considering the importance of the position of education and professional education, academic staff should be evaluated periodically in terms of job satisfaction and counseling centers need to focus on the role of mental well-being, coping skills, and spiritual experiences.
