Background:

A significant trend of increasing part-time employment is observed in the Australian nursing workforce, with half the profession now working part-time.
Existing literature offers general reasons for part-time work preferences, but specific motivators for nurses remain underexplored.
Understanding these motivators is critical given current nursing shortages that impede healthcare service delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore and describe the complex motivators behind nurses' decisions to work part-time.
To identify factors unique to the nursing profession that influence working time decisions.
To provide an in-depth understanding of the variations and complexities in part-time nursing employment.

Main Methods:

A grounded theory study was employed to investigate the phenomenon of part-time nursing.
The research focused on a specific cohort of part-time nurses to capture detailed insights.
Qualitative data analysis was used to identify emergent themes and patterns.

Main Results:

Nurses' motivators for choosing part-time work are multifaceted and intrinsically linked to the nursing profession.
Working time decisions are influenced by contextual factors that appear unique to nursing practice.
The study identified variations among nurses, highlighting the complexity of individual choices.

Conclusions:

The decision to work part-time among nurses is driven by complex, profession-specific factors.
Effective nursing workforce planning and management require a nuanced understanding of these part-time work motivators.
Addressing nursing shortages necessitates acknowledging and responding to the unique contextual influences on nurses' working hours.
