According to Carol Brewer, PhD, RN, research suggests that mandatory overtime is a common “dissatisfier” among nurses, and employers can improve job satisfaction by instead giving nurses the ability to control when they work extra hours.
“It’s not that nurses don’t want to do overtime, because they quite evidently do. But they want control over the overtime,” Ms. Brewer said. “Having control over your work hours is a satisfier; it’s something that nurses need to have to be satisfied in their job.”
