Midwives play a vital role in addressing issues related to pregnancy and breastfeeding, which also helps prevent postpartum depression. Low satisfaction among hospital midwives can lead to inadequate professional identity and employee turnover. The aim of this study was to determine the factors that influence midwives' job satisfaction in maternity services. The stages in this research include starting, selecting cases and informants, compiling instruments and protocols, entering the field, analyzing data, establishing proportions, summarizing the literature, concluding, implications, and recommendations for further research. In this study, the researcher used ten midwives as research informants. Data collection techniques used in this study include observation, interviews, field notes. Triangulation is used to help confirm research findings, reduce the shortcomings of a single method or source, provide greater insight, quickly detect and eliminate inconsistent data, and increase the validity and credibility of the research. The researcher concluded that there were ten latent variables from ten informants. Eight latent variables contributed to employee satisfaction. These factors include sense of dedication, family orientation towards relationships, synergistic teamwork, rational compensation, support for professional development, employee facilities, empathy for scarce resources, and serving patients with diverse demographics. In addition, two factors were identified as causes of employee dissatisfaction such as flood-prone facilities and work-life imbalance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The religious practices of ethnic Chinese business leaders make an interesting debate for exploring how leadership, ethics and perspective are seen because of the sharp distinction made between ‘before’ and ‘after’. Business ethics applied to economics and business has a long tradition. While Buddhism focuses on experientially based ethical consciousness to develop the business with self-responsibility, Christian faith and reason intertwine to bring about principles, criteria, and guidelines for action and a set of virtues with relevance for business activity. Therefore, we then examine how such religious practices in both Buddhist and Christian improve their business leadership with related human values embedded strongly in terms of an old (conservative) and new (rebirth/born again) personhood and they do so within a challenging, highly corrupt and business context. This article introduces Buddhist and Christian ethics to show how these religious practices discursively deconstruct their ‘old’ identities and construct their ‘new’ aspirational identities to expand ethical understanding and practice in Chinese business. Since research on ethnic Chinese business typically investigates the dominance attributed to specific ‘Chinese’ cultural values and strong intra-ethnic network, this paper provides different perspectives in order to make its contribution to the developments of both Buddhist and Christian ethics in the leading Chinese business practices as an ‘enhancer’ to increase expression in good business conduct.
