ABSTRACT
Job satisfaction has been a recurring problem amongst nurses in Nigeria. As such, unfavorable working conditions are compounding problems of shortage and anticipated turnover among the Nigerian nursing workforce. Competent and skilled nurses are emigrating in search of better remunerations, better standards of living, gaining experiences, and upgrading qualifications. The resilient nurses practicing in Nigeria regardless of unfavourable conditions are exposed to work related stresses. The purpose of the study was to assess factors influencing job satisfaction among nurses in Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), Kaduna State, Nigeria. A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional design was used. Disproportionate stratified random sampling technique was used to select a sample of 360 participants from a population of 695 nurses with a response rate of 304 (84%). Revised Nursing Work Index (NWI- R) was adopted as the data collection tool. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The major causes of job dissatisfaction among the participants were poor salary, working conditions and staffing. ABUTH management should improve upon nurses’ remuneration, create healthy practicing environment and improve their staffing of nurses to retain the practicing nurses and attract younger generation into the profession
