  • Title: The determinants of job satisfaction among hospital nurses: a model estimation in Korea.
    Author: Seo Y, Ko J, Price JL.
    Journal: Int J Nurs Stud; 2004 May; 41(4):437-46. PubMed ID: 15050854.
    Abstract:
    The study reported in this paper describes the estimation of a causal model of job satisfaction. This study's sample consists of 353 nurses from two general hospitals in the cities of Seoul and Taegu, Korea. Data were collected from self-administered questionnaires and analyzed with LISREL. The results showed that four structural variables (workload, supervisory support, routinization, and pay), two psychological variables (positive and negative affectivity), and one environmental variable (job opportunity) had a significant net effect on hospital nurses' job satisfaction. The explained variance for job satisfaction is 53.0%. The implications of these findings were discussed and suggestions for future research were advanced.
