This hermeneutic phenomenological study sought to explore the phenomenon
“quality of work life” through the lived experiences of oncology doctors. The study
confirmed the findings of previous studies that identified quality of work life as an
outcome and process that result in subjective experiences of objective (work-related)
dimensions that are moderated by satisfaction and reciprocity between employers
and employees. To get an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon, a qualitative
hermeneutic phenomenological methodology was followed and semi-structured
interviews were conducted using a sample of nine (9) participants. Analysis of the
data was done through the utilisation of Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis
(IPA). The findings point to the day-to-day challenges faced by oncology doctors,
which have been classified as lower order needs (hygiene factors) that result in a
diminished sense of quality of work life, but are moderated by higher order needs
(motivators) and a sense of career identity. Findings from this research can be used
by organisations to develop the quality of work life programmes and policies which
will aid in enhancing employee well-being and service delivery.
Hierdie hermeneutiese fenomenologiese studie het gepoog om die fenomeen
“kwaliteit van werkslewe” deur die beleefde ervarings van onkologiedokters te
ondersoek. Die studie het die bevindings van vorige studies bevestig wat
werklewenskwaliteit geïdentifiseer het as ʼn uitslag en proses wat lei tot subjektiewe
ervarings van objektiewe (werksverwante) dimensies wat deur tevredenheid en
wisselwerking tussen werkgewers en werknemers gematig word. Ten einde ʼn
diepgaande begrip van die fenomeen te verkry, is ʼn kwalitatiewe hermeneutiese
fenomenologiese metodologie gevolg en semi-strukturele onderhoude gevoer deur ʼn
steekproef van nege (9) deelnemers te gebruik.
Dataontleding is deur middel van Verklarende Fenomenologiese Ontleding (IPA)
gedoen. Die bevindings wys op die daaglikse uitdagings waarvoor onkologiedokters
te staan kom wat as behoeftes van ʼn laer orde (gesondheidsfaktore) geklassifiseer is
en wat tot ʼn verminderde sin vir werklewenskwaliteit lei, maar word gematig deur
behoeftes van ʼn hoër orde (motiveringsfaktore) en ʼn sin vir beroepsidentiteit.
Bevindings van hierdie navorsing kan deur organisasies gebruik word om die
kwaliteit van werksleweprogramme en -beleide te ontwikkel wat sal help om
werknemers se welstand en dienslewering te verbeter.
Lolu cwaningo Olugxile Ekuhlangenwe Nakho Okuphathekayo Kwabantu Ngabanye
Namaqembu lufuna ukuhlola lo mkhuba “izinga lempilo yomsebenzi”
ngokuhlangenwe nakho okuphilayo kodokotela bekucwaninga nokwelashwa
kwamathumba. Ucwaningo luqinisekise okutholwe yizifundo zangaphambilini
ezihlonze ikhwalithi yokuphila komsebenzi njengomphumela nenqubo ephumela
ekuzizweleni okucabangelayo kobukhulu benhloso (okuhlobene nomsebenzi)
obungathwa ngokwaneliseka nokuvumelana phakathi kwabaqashi nabasebenzi.
Ukuthola ukuqonda okujulile kwalesi senzakalo, indlela yokusebenza yokuhumusha
okuhlobene nendlela egxile ocwaningweni lokuqaphela kanye nezinto ezinolwazi
oluqondile ezisezingeni eliphezulu zalandelwa futhi inhlolokhono ehlelwe kancane
yenziwa kusetshenziswa isampula yababambiqhaza abayisishiyagalolunye (9).
Ukuhlaziywa kolwazi kwenziwa ngokusetshenziswa ukuhlaziya okuchazayo
okuhlobene nendlela egxile ocwaningweni lokuqaphela kanye nezinto ezinolwazi
oluqondile. Okutholakele kukhomba ezinseleleni zansuku zonke odokotela
abacwaninga nabelapha amathumba ababhekene nakho, okuye kwahlukaniswa
njengezidingo eziphansi zokuhleleka (izici zenhlanzeko) eziholela ekunciphiseni
komqondo wekhwalithi yokuphila komsebenzi, kodwa zilinganiselwe izidingo
zokuhleleka okuphezulu (izisusa). kanye nomuzwa wobunikazi bemisebenzi.
Okutholwe kulolu cwaningo kungasetshenziswa izinhlangano ukuthuthukisa
ikhwalithi yezinhlelo zempilo yomsebenzi kanye nezinqubomgomo ezizosiza
ekuthuthukiseni inhlalakahle yabasebenzi kanye nokulethwa kwezinsizakalo.
