The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between manager caring and peer caring on registered nurses’ (RNs) job satisfaction and intent to stay in a position and the profession. Though many components of job satisfaction have been identified, one factor that has been neglected is that of the interpersonal relationships that exist among colleagues. Caring is one way in which these relationships can be examined. In this study positive correlations were found between manager caring and peer caring and their relationship with RNs’ job satisfaction and intent to stay both in a position and the profession.
