Abstract:
PURPOSE: This study was done to identify the mediating effect of person-environment fit on the relationships between calling and job satisfaction for nurses in small and medium size general hospitals. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was used and data were collected in April 2018. Participants were 117 nurses in two small and medium size general hospitals. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients and hierarchical multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 22.0. RESULTS: There were statistically significant positive correlations among calling, person-environment fit, and job satisfaction. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed that calling and person-environment fit explained 35% of job satisfaction. Also, person-environment fit had a total mediating effect on the relationship between calling and job satisfaction. CONCLUSION: Findings indicate that calling and person-environment fit are important factors for job satisfaction of nurses in small and medium size hospitals.
