本研究的目的是通过对美国注册护士的全国代表性调查，来检验工会化是否与注册护士的工作满意度有关。预测医疗保健注册护士工作满意度的因素仍然是护士管理者和管理者非常关注的问题，因为工作满意度仍然是护士保留的一个重要方面。此外，注册护士工会的概念也在国家舞台上获得了突出地位。注册护士工作满意度与注册护士工会之间的关系很少被研究，但在两项研究中发现了一个悖论；有注册护士工会的医院工作不满意度较高，但保留率较高。本研究将测试拥有注册护士工会和工作满意度之间的关系，这些数据都是最近的和具有全国代表性的。我们分析了2004年和2008年全国注册护士抽样调查的公共使用数据。在2004年和2008年，工会代表与工作满意度呈负相关，尽管这种关系在2008年没有统计学意义。一些护士管理人员和行政人员不会对这一发现感到惊讶。然而，尽管工会护士可能会表达更多的不满，但他们也可能更直言不讳，更不害怕表达自己的担忧。如果管理人员能够利用护士的这种能力，使其善于表达和直言不讳，那么与工会和工会护士的合作就会富有成效和令人满意。
The objective of the study was to examine whether unionization is associated with job satisfaction among RNs in the United States using nationally representative surveys of RNs. Factors that predict job satisfaction for RNs in healthcare continue to be of great concern to nurse administrators and managers because job satisfaction remains an important aspect of nurse retention. In addition, the notion of having unions for RNs has also gained prominence on the national stage. The relationship between RN job satisfaction and having an RN union has rarely been studied, but in 2 studies, a paradox was found; hospitals with RN unions had higher job dissatisfaction but greater retention. This study will test the relationship between having an RN union and job satisfaction with data that are both more recent and nationally representative. We analyze the public-use data from the 2004 and 2008 National Sample Surveys of Registered Nurses. In both 2004 and 2008, union representation was negatively associated with job satisfaction, although this relationship was not statistically significant in 2008. Some nurse administrators and executives would not be surprised by this finding. However, although union nurses may express more dissatisfaction, they may also be more vocal and less fearful about voicing concerns. If managers can harness this ability of the nurses to be articulate and outspoken, working with unions and union nurses can be productive and satisfying.
