CONTRERAS, Françoise; ESPINOSA, Juan C; HERNANDEZ, Fernanda y ACOSTA, Natalia. Work quality of life and leadership in administrative staff and health care personnel of an oncological center in Bogotá (Colombia). Psicol. caribe [online]. 2013, vol.30, n.3, pp.569-590. ISSN 2011-7485.
The aim of this study was to describe the work Quality of Life (wql) and perceived leadership style by administrative staff/and health care personnel in an oncological center and estimate the association between them, considering socio-demographic characteristics. We applied the Professional Life Questionnaire [plq-35] and Pitcher Adjectives Test [PAT] to 38 health workers that represent 97.2 % of the total personal that work at the center. In general, participants have a satisfactory wql, mainly characterized by intrinsic motivation, which was most evident in the care team. With respect to leadership, lack of leadership or undesirable features of it were perceived, which do not determine the wql but constitute a modulator factor. Socio-demographic variables were not related to the wql. Finally it highlights the social responsibility that managers have on welfare of health workers, and consequently, on the patient care. We discuss these findings, and the relevance of using the emerging categories of pat.
