Why is it important?

The healthcare sector has experienced significant changes during the years of economic crisis: the working conditions of health workers have worsened. To maintain the quality of care standards required in this sector, the conditions necessary to achieve a greater engagement of employees with their work and their organization should be created, thus avoiding the current high personnel turnover rates. The results of this study provide guidelines for the development of policies and differential strategies aimed at improving the quality of healthcare service.
