THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JOB SATISFACTION AND WORK MOTIVATION FOR NURSES IN THE DEPARTMENT OF SURGERY AT THE Dr. RAMELAN CITIZEN HOSPITAL, SURABAYA

Abstract

Introduction

Motivation is everything that drives someone to act and carry out their work well. Nurses who work are not based on a strong desire and motivation to work and good adjustment, then in carrying out the work will not be good and optimal so that it will have an impact on nurse job satisfaction and will lead to coercion so that it refers to the formation of dependent behavior that can later lead to working below standards that cause malpractice or work ignoring the code of ethics of care. Factors that influence work motivation are extrinsic factors and intrinsic factors, one of which is job satisfaction (needs) , this satisfaction is in the form of results achieved from their efforts and challenges so far .

Method

The research design used a cross- sectional research method with a probability sampling technique, the type of simple random sampling. The sample taken was 83 respondents among surgical nurses. The research data was collected using a questionnaire. The results of data collection were tested using a linear regression test (Pearson Correlation) with a significance level of p < 0.05 .

Result

The results of the study obtained an average nurse job satisfaction of 87.2 with the lowest satisfaction value of 74 and the highest value of 102, indicating that the level of nurse job satisfaction is high, while the average nurse work motivation is 56.7 with the lowest motivation value of 45 and the highest motivation value of 68, indicating that the nurse work motivation is moderate. The results of the Linear Regression test (Pearson Correlation) obtained an r value of 0.522 and a p value of 0.000.

Conclusion          

Based on the research, it was found that work motivation was moderate and the level of nurses' job satisfaction was high. This is because job satisfaction is one of the intrinsic factors (work goals, attitudes, challenges and skills) that cause motivation. In addition, there are extrinsic factors (salary, security, relationships with fellow workers, supervision, appreciation, work) that also need to be considered in increasing the work motivation of surgical nurses .
