From the Paper:

"A majority of the studies on job satisfaction involved nurses of various ranks and settings. Although these studies do not address the intended sample population directly, they still tell us many factors that consistently affect job satisfaction. Elements, such as leadership styles and qualities were found to affect health care workers in many settings. Problems associated with staff shortages and attrition is not limited to substance abuse workers. These problems were found to represent a pandemic that has struck the health care industry on a global basis."
