Abstract
Job satisfaction for nurses is a concern, as job satisfaction can have an effect on a health care organization's ability to retain staff and recruit new nurses. Job performance is also affected when job satisfaction is low. This descriptive correlational study was designed to answer two research questions: (1) What is the over-all level of job satisfaction among family nurse practitioners in Mississippi and (2) What are the relationships between job satisfaction and intrinsic and extrinsic factors a measured by the Misener Job Satisfaction Scale among family nurse practitioners in Mississippi? The intrinsic factors included feelings of achievement, opportunities for advancement and growth, meaningful work, increase in responsibility, and recognition, and the extrinsic factors included job security, pay, status, working conditions, fringe benefits, policies and procedure, and interpersonal relations (Herzberg, 1959).
