• Incentives, autonomy, work environment,
and perception of care quality have
significant impact on nursing job satisfaction
at RH.
• Job satisfaction does not appear related to
the perceived quality of patient care.
Next Step:
•Implement measures to increase
nursing job satisfaction, such as
improving autonomy and control over
nursing practice and offering desired
incentives.
