Abstract
Empowerment is management practice of sharing information, rewards, and power with employees, so that, they can take initiatives and make decisions to solve problems and improve service and performance. In the field of nursing, personal and professional empowerment is crucial to job satisfaction. The empowered nurses will feel inspired and motivated to contribute to their cause, and will have a greater feeling of respect and trust among colleagues, knowing that their contributions are recognized and valuedby the other members of the healthcare team.Job satisfaction is the degree to which an individual feels positively or negatively about the various facets of the job tasks, the work setting, and relationships with coworkers. It is seen as a motivator for good job performance, it is much more complex as individuals bring different values and needs to their work situation. Job satisfaction is a positive attitude toward one’s job. People experience this attitude when their work matches their needs and interests, when working conditions and rewards are satisfactory, and when the nurses like their co-workers. Many nursing departments are developing internship programs for new graduate nurses to expand the orientation process to include critical thinking skills development, clinical reasoning and clinical skills while in a supportive and protected environment. The cost of an internship could be paid back in lower turnover rates, improved nursing outcomes and increase nursing satisfaction.Aim of the study: Todeterminethe relationshipbetween empowermentand job satisfaction among nurse interns.
