Saudi Arabia is developing very fast in all disciplines, especially in nursing and health. Only about five studies between 1990 and 2010 have been undertaken in Saudi Arabia concerning factors influencing job satisfaction of nurses, although a body of knowledge exists globally.
The purpose of this research was to measure nurses' job satisfaction in Saudi Arabia in a university teaching hospital and to determine the influencing factors.
A quantitative, cross sectional method, self-administered questionnaire was used for this study. A systematic sample of N=189 nurses was used to collect data. The SPSS version 16.0. was used to analyze the data. An independent t-test and one-way analysis of variance were used to test hypotheses concerning different groups, and correlation tests (the Pearson's and Spearman's rank tests) were used to examine relationships between variables.
Overall, nurses were neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with their jobs. However, nurses indicated satisfaction with supervision, co-workers and nature of work. The sources of dissatisfaction were with subscales such as pay, fringe benefits, contingent rewards and operating conditions.
These findings indicate that there is a need to increase nurses' salaries and bonuses for extra duties. More training programmes and further education also should be encouraged for all nurses. Therefore, it is imperative that nursing managers and policy makers in Saudi Arabia consider these findings to improve nurses' job satisfaction.
沙特阿拉伯在各个学科领域都在迅速发展，尤其是在护理和卫生领域。尽管全球已经有了大量的相关知识，但在 1990 年至 2010 年期间，沙特阿拉伯仅进行了大约五项关于影响护士工作满意度因素的研究。
本研究旨在测量沙特阿拉伯一所大学教学医院护士的工作满意度，并确定影响因素。
本研究采用定量、横断面的方法，使用自我管理的问卷。采用系统抽样方法抽取了 189 名护士作为研究对象。使用 SPSS 版本 16.0 分析数据。采用独立 t 检验和单因素方差分析检验不同组别的假设，采用 Pearson 相关检验和 Spearman 等级相关检验检验变量之间的关系。
总体而言，护士对其工作既不满意也不满足。然而，护士对监督、同事和工作性质表示满意。不满的来源是薪酬、福利、额外奖励和工作条件等方面。
这些发现表明，有必要提高护士的工资和额外工作的奖金。还应该鼓励为所有护士提供更多的培训计划和继续教育。因此，沙特阿拉伯的护理管理人员和政策制定者必须考虑这些发现，以提高护士的工作满意度。
