Level of Job Satisfaction among Sulu Nurses

Abstract

The research aimed to determine the Sulu nurses' profile and job satisfaction level. The study aimed to investigate the correlation between the profile of Sulu nurses and their level of job satisfaction. A quantitative descriptive research design was used. A self-devised Likert Scale questionnaire was used to gather the data, and Proportionate Stratified sampling was used in selecting the respondents. Descriptive statistics were utilized to ascertain the profile of nurses from Sulu, while multiple regression was employed to investigate the interrelationships among the variables. The results showed that the average age of nurses in Sulu was 27, female holding a non-permanent status with an average length of service of 5.50 years and a mean compensation of 17,500 per month, and working in more than 100-bed capacities in public and non-military hospitals. The majority of Sulu nurses had a high level of job satisfaction. The study showed a significant positive relationship between job satisfaction and employment status, salary, and hospital type (non-military and military). A salary increase accompanied a high satisfaction rating of nurses in Sulu. Nurses working in military hospitals were more satisfied than those in non-military hospitals. In addition, nurses with permanent tenure were more satisfied than non-permanent nurses.
