Although several variables have been correlated with nursing job satisfaction, the findings are not uniform across studies. Three commonly noted variables from the nursing literature are: autonomy, job stress, and nurse-physlclan collaboration. This meta-analysis examined the strength of the relationships between job satisfaction and autonomy, job stress, and nurse-physician collaboration among registered nurses working in staff positions. A meta-analysis of 31 studies representing a total of 14,567 subjects was performed. Job satisfaction was most strongly correlated with job stress (ES=-.43), followed by nurse-physician collaboration (ES=.37), and autonomy (ES=.30). These findings have implications for the Importance of improving the work environment to increase nurses' job satisfaction. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
