title: Determinants of job satisfaction and effectiveness among health information administration professionals in Kuwait.
abstract: Job satisfaction and organisational effectiveness among health information administration professionals were analysed in relation to selected background, work environment and organisational characteristics. The data comprised a 15% (n = 171) random sample of health information administration professionals in Kuwait, of whom 91.2% (n = 156) responded. It was found that remuneration compatible with qualifications, opportunity for continuing education, and work experience had a significant and positive relationship to job satisfaction. It was concluded that the provision of continuing education, availability of orientation and job description, effective supervision, and remuneration compatible with qualifications are facilitators of job satisfaction and organisational effectiveness.
