Many authorities believe that a major nursing shortage lies in the near future. This study was designed to investigate, over a broad spectrum of practice, what dimensions of the overall work environment nurses found most significant when they were evaluating their own job satisfaction. This basic information would be crucial to a more efficient utilization of resources in an effort to make the profession more appealing. A twelve item instrument that included various aspects of overall work environment, (intrinsic, extrinsic, administrative, and relationship items) was distributed to registered nurses in a variety of work settings: hospital, home health, and ambulatory care. Each item was scored from 1 - very unimportant, to 7- very important. Using the factor analysis method of statistical analysis, items that were highly correlated were grouped together into factors to facilitate analysis. The findings identify the intrinsic aspects of the work situation as being most important. This finding reinforces the findings of Fredrich Herzberg. In light of the increasing shortage of registered professional nurses, additional research is required in this area.
This review of literature examines empirical literature regarding nurses' job satisfaction in relation to long work hours and correlated factors such as nurse resilience. The widespread nursing shortage and high nurse turnover are of great concern in many countries and has become a global issue impacting the effectiveness of healthcare systems (Lu, While, & Louise Barriball, 2005). While many factors have been linked to nurses' turnover, job satisfaction is the most frequently cited (Lu et al., 2005). To guide this literature review, the following question was formulated to address the issue of nurse job satisfaction: Do nurses who have longer work hours, such as 12-hour shifts, experience decreased job satisfaction? A review of literature was conducted using CINAHL, ProQuest Nursing, & Google Scholar databases to identify and examine prior research on long work hours such as 12-hour shifts contributing to decreased job satisfaction among nurses. The findings from this literature review suggest that longer hours contribute to decreased job satisfaction among nurses, and facilitating an eight-hour workday can improve job satisfaction - Abstract.
The link between employee & patient satisfaction is generating considerable interest. This new edition presents a fully developed & validated survey for measuring nurses' satisfaction with their work.
