Impact of Job Stress on Job Satisfaction for Nursing Staff: A Survey in Healthcare Services in Yemen

Abstract

This study looks at the effect of job-related stress on the job satisfaction of nursing staff in hospitals. Job stress is one of the most significant workplace health concerns for employees, and job satisfaction has been identified as an important factor in the delivery of high-quality services and superior performance at hospitals. This paper presents a field survey. Drawing on a sample of 362 nurses operating in Yemeni hospitals, we examined the degree to which stressors such as conflict, workload, interpersonal relationships, career development, information access, physical surroundings, career prospects, management style, job enrichment, rewards, and job security are all factors that influence job satisfaction. Conflict, excessive workload, and a lack of job autonomy were shown to be negatively correlated with all job satisfaction characteristics, whereas a lack of information access and feedback was found to be positively associated with employees’ satisfaction with rewards and job security.
