Abstract

Nurses' job satisfaction is an important issue and it receives a lot of attention in the international nursing literature. But research about the influencing factors of novice nurses' job satisfaction is yet insufficient, especially a newcomer's advice network. This study explored the influence of network outdegree in the same division and across divisions on job satisfaction, as professional commitment, and perceived organizational culture were included as control variables. A total population of nurses recruited within 3 months in a medical center was surveyed. The results showed that perceived organizational culture was the strongest predictor of job satisfaction; and support the different effects of advice network outdegree in the same division and across divisions on job satisfaction.
