Abstract: Background: Globally, nurses’ satisfaction is getting greater interest from the healthcare system. Nurses are the spine of the healthcare system and consequently; ensuring their satisfaction is very crucial to deliver safe and high care standard for patients.

Purpose: To assess the perceived level of job satisfaction and associated factors among Jordanian nurses.

Methods: The researchers employed a descriptive, cross-sectional design utilizing a convenient sample of 220 Jordanian nurses. The index of work satisfaction scale was used to collect data.

Results: The results revealed that nurses had an overall job satisfaction of moderate level (M = 3.55). The highest scoring domain was autonomy (M = 4.41), and the lowest scoring domain was professional status (M = 2.57).

Conclusions: Enhancing nurses’ satisfaction is a very important issue in Jordanian hospitals. Numerous recommendations should be applied to increase nurses’ satisfaction such as increasing remuneration, providing non-monetary incentives and recognition, and supporting and improving staff motivation.
