Predictors of Job Satisfaction, Turnover, and Burnout in Female and Male Jordanian Nurses
Abstract
As health-care systems undergo significant changes, the phenomena of job satisfaction, turnover, and burnout in nurses are of interest to nursing communities throughout the world. The purpose of this research was to examine these phenomena in a population of Jordanian nurses that is constituted of 25% men. This descriptive correlational study involved a sample of 479 nurses (68% female, 32% male) employed in public and military hospitals in Jordan, representing a 77% response rate to a survey. Significant differences were found between men and women for some of the items measured but not for turnover or burnout. However, regression analyses did demonstrate that selected variables impacted differently on men and women for the 3 outcome measures. Implications for nursing in Jordan are discussed.Downloads
