Abstract

Background: Nurses form a professional major group among healthcare providers. Within recent years, providing a system of healthcare delivery that is of high-quality has been a considerable challenge. To reach that level of quality, an efficient level of job satisfaction among the nurses must be fulfilled. Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare nurses at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in terms of gender, age, and level of education in order to determine how these factors influenced the nurses' views of the workplace-related dimensions, nursing productivity, and the leadership practices of their managers. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study. Between July 1, 2022 and February 28, 2023, researchers at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, gathered the necessary data. Socio-demographic variables such as gender, education level, age, and employment status were gathered via a self-administered anonymous computerised questionnaire. The second section of the survey was the 28-item McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale, which was broken down into 8 categories. The SPSS 24 program was used to examine the data. Results: Of the total respondents, 82% were females mostly within the middle age category between 26-41 years old, with the majority of the participants (N=84) belonging to Generation Z and A. Furthermore, there were no significant associations detected regarding educational level. On the other hand, there was a significant association between gender and control and responsibility and a significant association between age and scheduling. Also, there was significant association between work schedule and interaction opportunities. Conclusion: This research has significance for the hospital management and nurse educators as well as managers, prompting them to reconsider their management competences in order to establish effective techniques for managing a multigenerational workforce.
