What the paper says

Our findings highlight the need for targeted workforce strategies in health center settings. Healthcare leaders should first enhance employees' job satisfaction by investing in workplace supportive processes, work-life balance initiatives, and leadership development tailored to their organizational context. After job satisfaction is strengthened, its influence on employees' intention to stay and job engagement remains contingent on leadership. The decision about how much to invest in leadership initiatives should be guided by the organization's current job satisfaction levels.
