Job satisfaction as self‐care within a restrictive regulatory environment: Nevada's study

Abstract

Findings provide insight for maximizing professional self-care, particularly in areas of professional growth. Job satisfaction data assist leaders in maximizing the role for improving patient access to care, particularly in states with restrictive regulations.

Job satisfaction and perceived autonomy for nurse practitioners working in nurse‐managed health centers

“…As expected, the subscale “challenge/autonomy” had the highest satisfaction score for NPs who worked in NMHCs (Table ). This outcome demonstrated contribution of autonomy, an intrinsic factor, to overall job satisfaction, and is consistent with other NP studies (Dunnaway & Running, ; La Marche & Tullai‐McGuinness, ; Schiestel, ). The challenge/autonomy subscale correlated highly with total job satisfaction.…”

“…Individual items scoring highest were intrinsic factors and part of the challenge/autonomy subscale, corresponding to Herzberg's theory. The highest rated single item was sense of accomplishment, as reported in other studies (Dunaway & Running, ; Kacel et al, ; Misener & Cox, ). The score for the sense of accomplishment item was so high that it surpassed the scores for total job satisfaction and the challenge/autonomy subscale (Tables and ).…”

“…Seven studies of NP job satisfaction in recent years were based on Herzberg's theory; six used the MNPJSS (De Milt, Fitzpatrick, & McNulty, ; Dunaway & Running, ; Faris, Douglas, Maples, Berg, & Thraikill, ; Kacel et al, ; Lamarche & Tullai‐McGuiness, ; Schiestel, ) and one used qualitative methods (Quizon‐Guatno, ). These studies included NPs from different geographic regions as well as NPs in the Veteran's Health Administration (VA).…”

Mentoring Nurse Practitioners in a Hospital Setting

“…Of these, the Misener Nurse Practitioner Job Satisfaction Scale (MNPJSS) (Misener & Cox, 2001) and McCloskey Satisfaction Scale (MMSS) (Mueller & McCloskey, 1990) are used most often. With few exceptions, the level of NPs satisfaction is low (Dunaway & Running, 2009;Faris et al, 2010;Kacel, Miller & Norris, 2005;Miller, Apold, Bass, Berner, & Levine-Brill, 2005;Schiestel, 2007;Wild, Parsons, & Dietz, 2006). Lowest satisfaction scores were consistently found in areas such as opportunities for professional growth and development, opportunities to participate in research and committees, and the availability of support.…”
