A model of job satisfaction of nurses: a reflection of nurses��� working lives in Mainland China
2007
Aim. This paper is a report of a study exploring nurses' views and experience regarding their working lives in Mainland China. Background. The widespread nursing shortage and high turnover has become a global issue. Job satisfaction among nurses is a key factor in nurse turnover. Although several models of job satisfaction have been suggested in Western countries, these require further development and testing in Mainland China, where the social context of the labour market is different. Method. A survey design using questionnaires was adopted. A total of 512 hospital nurses in Beijing participated in the study in 2004, representing a response rate of 81%.

Background: The widespread nursing shortage is of concern in Mainland China and globally. Factors underpinning the increased mobility of the nursing workforce and their contribution to nurses' turnover thus merit attention. Understanding nurses' job satisfaction is important, as this is a key factor in nurses' turnover. Objective: The study aimed to explore nurses' views and experience regarding different components of their working lives in Mainland China. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was selected and 512 nurses working in the medical and surgical departments in two teaching hospitals in Beijing completed questionnaires yielding a response rate of 81%. Results: More than half of nurses (53.7%; n ¼ 275) were satisfied or very satisfied with their jobs and 15% (n ¼ 77) felt moderate to extreme occupational stress. The majority of the sample reported a high level of organizational commitment (63.7%; n ¼ 326) and professional commitment (85.9%; n ¼ 440) and only 5.9% (n ¼ 30) and 10.0% (n ¼ 51), respectively reported role conflict and role ambiguity often or very often. Nurses with a diploma or associate degree reported greater professional commitment and a lower level of role conflict than those with a bachelor degree (po0.05), but there were no significant differences in job satisfaction, organizational commitment, occupational stress and role ambiguity by educational programme (p40.05). Conclusions: Hospital nurses' positive feelings regarding their working lives may be influenced by developments in the health care system and the nursing profession in Mainland China. Nurses' educational level is an influencing factor on nurses' views and experiences of their working lives with the findings suggesting the need to develop a clinical career ladder for nursing staff in Mainland China. r

Quality Of Work Life And Job Satisfaction Among Nurses In Private And Government Sectors
2018
Nursing is a profession that aims at the protection, promotion, optimization of health and the alleviation of suffering through diagnosis and treatment (American Nurses Association, 2009). Nurses are the jewels of health care sector, without them, hospitals difficult to breathe and survive. Mostly, we address the condition of the health care but never realize the problems faced by nurses. Nurses are struggling hard to keep up expectation but still they don’t have recognition both from hospitals and society (Yang, Pan, & Yang, 2004). There are numerous problems faced by nurses in hospitals such as staff shortage which lead to more work pressure for staff nurse. Recruitment of nurses has become a common problem (Lu, While, Barriball, 2005 ). Shortage of staff nurse can be seen as a result of the mistreatment received by nurses especially in private sectors. Staff nurse are very low in number in most hospital, even in multispecialty hospitals, the numbers of staff nurse is very poor. M...

2021
Globally, the quality of work-life (QoWL) of nurses is significantly affected. They are the largest health care groups and the leading front liners in the clinical settings. When the nurse's quality of work life is compromised, the work environment's dynamic changes will also be affected. At current, the focus issues in nursing include excessive workload and poor work conditions. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of quality of work-life among public hospital nurses in Sarawak General Hospital (SGH), Kuching, Malaysia. Methods: Descriptive study with a purposive sampling technique was used in recruiting 461 nurses working at SGH. A composite scale was used for the assessment of QoWL in nurses. Data were collected using adapted questionnaires that focused on nine different areas. The questionnaires were distributed to the nurses via an online survey. This study revealed that 52.9% of the respondents were not satisfied with their QoWL, while 47.1% were satisfied. Three areas were identified to record a higher percentage of unsatisfactory QoWL: relation and cooperation, autonomy of work, and resources adequacy. There are significant differences between the nurses' quality of work-life and socio-52

Work Climate and Nurse Job Satisfaction of a Large Medical Center in Taiwan
Journal of hospital and healthcare administration, 2018
The twofold purpose of this research is: 1) To identify measurement indicators of two theoretical or latent constructs (work climate and job satisfaction) of professional nurses and 2) To determine the relationship between work climate and nurse job satisfaction in a large, tertiary care center in Taiwan. Four research questions were formulated to guide the investigation. The respondents of a survey (N= 3,462) were professional and registered nurses from all nursing units. Work climate, a latent exogenous construct, was measured by three indicators serving as predictors of nurse job satisfaction, a latent endogenous variable, measured by five related indicators. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed for each of the two measurement models. The structural relationship between work climate and job satisfaction was examined by covariance structure analysis. The construct validity of work-climate and job-satisfaction measurement models was demonstrated independently. The structural equation model revealed that work climate indicators were associated with nurses' job satisfaction. Safety culture, the strongest indicator of work climate, accounted for a majority of variance in nurses' job satisfaction. Hospital and nursing executives should pay greater attention to enhance better safety culture. Thus, optimal retention of professional nurses could be achieved by implementing and practicing safety culture activities.
