Background:
This study aimed to provide an understanding of the relationship between the ethical climate at the workplace and job satisfaction among nurses.
Methods:
210 nurses working in selected wards in the Tehran University of Medical Sciences were asked to fill out questionnaires on their work environment and level of job satisfaction. The data collection tools included a questionnaire to obtain demographic data, the Olson moral climate questionnaire and Minnesota job satisfaction questionnaire. The data were analysed using SPSS software version 14.
Results:
We found a significant positive relationship between the ethical climate and the level of job satisfaction among the nurses. Among the demographic variables, the working shift, income level and type of duties allocated had a significant relationship with job satisfaction.
Conclusion:
Hospital managements should pay attention to the factors influencing job motivation among nurses, including the ethical climate of the work environment.
