What Challenges Might Nurses Face in Experiencing Intrinsic Rewards?
While intrinsic rewards can be highly motivating, there are challenges that can impede their realization:
Workload: High patient-to-nurse ratios and excessive administrative tasks can diminish job satisfaction. Burnout: Prolonged stress and emotional exhaustion can overshadow the intrinsic rewards of nursing. Lack of Recognition: Inadequate acknowledgment from peers and supervisors can lead to feelings of undervaluation. Limited Autonomy: Restrictive policies and micromanagement can hinder nurses’ sense of independence and control.
