Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Organizational Psychology
  • Human Resources Management

Background:

  • Assessing nurses' job satisfaction is crucial for healthcare workforce retention and quality of care.
  • Existing measures may not fully capture the multifaceted nature of job satisfaction in nursing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the dimensional structure, reliability, and validity of a 33-item nurses' job satisfaction scale.
  • To identify and confirm the underlying factors contributing to nurses' job satisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • Factor analysis was employed to determine the number of measurable dimensions.
  • Reliability (internal consistency, test-retest) and validity (criterion-related, construct) were assessed.

Main Results:

  • The initial hypothesis of three dimensions was not statistically supported.
  • Eight interpretable factors emerged: extrinsic rewards, scheduling, work-life balance, coworkers, interaction, professional growth, recognition, and autonomy.
  • These eight factors could be meaningfully categorized within the original three dimensions.

Conclusions:

  • The developed scale, while not strictly three-dimensional, provides a robust, eight-factor model for assessing nurses' job satisfaction.
  • The identified factors offer valuable insights for improving nursing work environments and satisfaction.
