Workers should be motivated, have a positive morale and be able to recognize values and the deep meaning of their work. This survey aims to examine the organizational wellbeing of the services provided by the Department of Mental Health (DSM) in Lanusei (Italy) and the correlations between job satisfaction and the psychosomatic health of its workers.<jats:italic><jats:underline>Materials and Methodology<\/jats:underline>:<\/jats:italic>Descriptive-correlational study on a population of 43 mental health workers. Organizational wellbeing, as well as workers\u2019 job satisfaction and psychosomatic health, were measured using the \u201cMultidimensional Organizational Health Questionnaire\u201d (MOHQ). It is a self-report questionnaire able to examine 14 dimensions of organizational wellbeing, 14 indicators about individual discomfort, 12 indicators about individual wellbeing, 8 psychosomatic symptoms related to job distress.<jats:italic><jats:underline>Results<\/jats:underline>:<\/jats:italic>31 workers (72%) participated in the survey. Regarding the organizational wellbeing of DSM, the general profile mean\u00b1sd was 2.66\u00b10.28 (values from 1 to 4: 1=never, 4=often). Job satisfaction was negatively correlated with headaches and concentration difficulties (R=-.584, p=0.001), nervousness, restlessness, anxiety (R=-.571, p=0.001), sense of excessive fatigue (R=-.634, p=0.000) and sense of depression (R=-.558, p=0.001) reported by workers.<jats:italic><jats:underline>Conclusions<\/jats:underline>:<\/jats:italic>Data denoted an overall healthy state of the DSM. There were significant correlations between workers\u2019 job satisfaction and their psychosomatic health. The recognition and restitution about the weakness and strengths of the services could be useful to point out some organizational development perspectives.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2174\/1745017901511010004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,5]],"date-time":"2015-03-05T09:18:17Z","timestamp":1425547097000},"page":"4-11","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Organizational Wellbeing among Workers in Mental Health Services: A Pilot Study"],"prefix":"10.2174","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Federica","family":"Sancassiani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcello","family":"Campagna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Tuligi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sergio","family":"Machado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elisa","family":"Cantone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mauro Giovanni","family":"Carta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"965","reference":[{"key":"refR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"303","DOI":"10.1017\/S2045796011000606","volume":"20","author":"Priebe S","year":"2011","unstructured":"Priebe S, Reininghaus U.
