Several factors can lead to lower job satisfaction among nurses:
1. Workload and Staffing Issues: High patient-to-nurse ratios and insufficient staffing can lead to burnout, stress, and decreased job satisfaction. 2. Lack of Support: Limited support from management and colleagues can make nurses feel undervalued and isolated. 3. Poor Work-Life Balance: Long hours and rotating shifts can disrupt personal lives, leading to dissatisfaction. 4. Inadequate Compensation: Compensation that does not reflect the level of responsibility and effort can demotivate nurses. 5. Workplace Environment: A negative or unsafe work environment can contribute to stress and lower satisfaction.
