Abstract

Nurse job satisfaction can be assessed based on the measurement of the difference between expectations and the reality of their real experience at work. Nurse job satisfaction needs to be specifically addressed because if nurse job satisfaction can be achieved it will benefit and affect the quality of health services. The purpose of this study was to conduct a literature review on the determinants associated with the job satisfaction of nurses in hospitals. This study used a literature review method on three databases, namely Google Scholar, Garuda, and E-Resource Perpusnas (National Library). The results of a literature review from six journals show that there were determinants related to nurse job satisfaction in hospitals, comprising job characteristics (gender, education, age), job characteristics (salary), organizational characteristics (supervision, leadership, recognition), working environment condition, promotion opportunities, position, interpersonal relationship, potential development, hospital policies and administration, as well as the experience of the last few years. While the determinants that were not related to the job satisfaction of nurses in hospitals included welfare program, responsibilities, nationality, marital status, and the institution of the current degree. The most influencing determinant of nurse job satisfaction in hospitals is salary. It is suggested for further researchers to develop research by discussing other factors excluded from this study and also consider research with qualitative methods to investigate nurse job satisfaction in hospitals in-depth.
