Abstract
ABSTRACT The nurses’ quality of work life (QWL) is critical for a sustainable nursing workforce and effective healthcare delivery. As nurses make up the majority of the healthcare workforce, their QWL is an important issue for both nurses and nurse managers. Therefore, nurse managers need to assess, monitor, and improve the QWL of their nurses. This study aimed to determine the impact of the nursing work environment on nurses’ QWL. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted among 330 nurses working in a private university hospital. A healthy nursing work environment and individual and institutional factors positively influence nurses’ QWL. This study showed that nurses’ participation in hospital affairs, satisfaction with the institution, satisfaction with the social facilities, ability to meet the institution's career goals, work unit, and perceived salary were all factors that influenced nurses’ QWL. This study contributes to the understanding of the impact of nurses’ work environment and individual and institutional variables on their QWL. Healthcare administration and nurse managers can help improve the quality of nurses’ working lives by developing strategies to create healthy work environments.
