Abstract

Aim: To assess the impact of organisational communication satisfaction (OCS) on the work engagement of health care professionals (HCPs). Background: Organisational communication can influence employees' work engagement, which is an essential component of an organisation's effectiveness. However, these concepts have not been broadly investigated in health care organisations. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to 235 HCPs in the Gaza Strip, Palestine. The SPSS statistical software (version 25) and partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) were used to analyse the collected data. Results: The HCPs reported a moderate level of OCS (M = 4.96, SD = 0.94) and work engagement (M = 5.56, SD = 0.96). The impact of OCS on work engagement was found to be positive and statistically significant (beta =.524, p < .05). No significant difference was revealed in level of OCS or work engagement among the HCPs according to their job categories. Only years of experience significantly influenced their OCS. Conclusion: Improving HCPs' satisfaction with organisational communication is vital in enhancing their work engagement and, ultimately, sustaining health care manpower. Implications for Nursing Management: Strategies for improving the quantity and quality of organisational communication must be prioritized to strengthen work engagement among HCPs. These strategies include management's role in and ways of communicating essential information about their organisations to HCPs.
