Over their first years of work many nurses employed in hospitals throughout the country, report a decrease in job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and professionalism. This happens mainly to registered nurses during their first two years of working in hospitals either at a Central or District hospital. This results into Nurses leaving their current hospitals where they are working to other hospitals seeking for satisfaction which inturn, compromise the care rendered to the patients. The aim of the study was to investigate the factors that contribute to a change in satisfaction, commitment and professionalism of newly employed nurses within their first two years of employment. A descriptive quantitative study was conducted and data was collected using the questionnaire guide. A sample of thirty (30) registered nurses was recruited using convenient sampling method. Hertzberg (Motivator- hygiene) and Maslow's hierarchy of needs theories were used in the study as conceptual framework. Data was processed and analysed using Excel and the results have been presented using tables and frequencies. The results in general show that newly employed nurses have a decrease in satisfaction, commitment, and professionalism within their first two years of working and various factors contribute to this: poor benefits and incentives, lack of motivation by managers, lack of professional growth and development, poor communication, and lack of recognition at work. |
