The Effect of Job Nature on Job Adjustment of Nurses in Hospital Affiliated to Kashan University of Medical Sciences
Job adjustment is an important factor for the successful employment of nurses. The job nature can be a factor influencing job adjustment. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of job nature on job adjustment among a sample of nurses.
This cross-sectional study was conducted among 542 nurses working in hospitals affiliated to Kashan University of Medical Sciences. Using Cochranchr('39')s formula and stratified random sampling method, 190 nurses were selected as a sample. Two standard and validated questionnaires were used for gathering data associated with job nature and job adjustment. The reliability of the questionnaires was estimated through Cronbachchr('39')s alpha coefficient. Data analysis was performed at both descriptive and inferential levels using SPSS 22.
Findings revealed that means of job nature (70.43±45.07) was higher than average (60) and mean of job adjustment (3.23±0.42) was higher than average (3). Pearson correlation coefficient showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between job nature and job adjustment (r=0.29). The regression coefficient showed that the job nature was able to predict the job adjustment of nurses.
The average job nature and adjustment of nurses were favorable and there was a positive relationship between job nature and job adjustment of nurses. Therefore, in order to increase the adjustment of nurses, managers should pay more attention to nurseschr('39') perceptions of their job characteristics and provide them with diversity, feedback and the opportunity to create friendly relationships at work.
