Abstract:

This research aimed to consolidate the existing research in the field of organizational commitment and job satisfaction in health professions. A systematic review of the literature was used by combining the bibliometric technique, using the binary counting method. The first cluster relates organizational commitment to job satisfaction and included thirteen terms, namely "Employee", "Employer", "Implication", "Information", "Intervention", "Job", "Job satisfaction", "Order", "Organizational commitment", "Perception", "Person", "Relationship" and "Satisfaction". In general, this cluster included articles that identify factors associated to job satisfaction and analyze the relation between the various dimensions of job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The second cluster relates professional commitment and job dissatisfaction and included nine terms, namely, "Athletic trainer", "Demand", "Experience", "Patient", "Perspective", "Professional commitment", "Responsibility", "Time", and "Workplace". This thematic approach covered all publications that reported individuals' commitment to the profession, because they feel proud of their work, which they consider to be demanding and of great responsibility, although they expose their dissatisfaction at work, for various reasons. Despite the dissatisfaction, they show themselves available and consider themselves capable to embrace new challenges.
