Case Study 1

This case study examines job satisfaction among nurses. A survey was conducted of 50 nurses across different hospitals measuring their satisfaction with work, pay, and opportunities for promotion on a scale of 0 to 100. The data collected also identified the type of hospital each nurse worked at. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the survey results. The statistics revealed that nurses were most satisfied with their work but least satisfied with their pay. There is room for improvement in increasing pay to boost overall job satisfaction. Analysis of variability showed that opinions varied most when it came to satisfaction with opportunities for promotion. The results did not indicate any particular hospital type having clearly better job satisfaction, but recommendations could be made to hospitals to learn what drives satisfaction to help
