Literature Review of Theory and Research on the Impact of Work-Related Stress on Nurses’ Job Satisfaction: Towards a Conceptual Model

The purpose of the study is to propose a conceptual model to examine the impact of work-related stress on job satisfaction among nurses. We reviewed 50 articles, written in English that examined the relationship work stress and job satisfaction. Twelve articles were included in the final analysis. Based on the review a conceptual framework is developed with the variables such as Role Conflict (RC), Role Ambiguity (RA), Workload Pressure (WP), Family-Work Interference (FWI) and Job satisfaction. It is critical to note that Role Conflict (RC), Role Ambiguity (RA), Workload Pressure (WP), Family- Work Interference (FWI) are significantly affect the job satisfaction in the health care sector. The findings will assist management in developing new strategies to boost nurse job satisfaction. As a result, this outcome will increase nurses' work performance and patient care.
