Description
What exactly is job satisfaction? And, to whom does responsibility for staff nurse (RN) job satisfaction belong: Administration/management? The professional staff RN? What exactly is engagement and to whom does the responsibility for staff RN job and organizational engagement belong? Dr. Kupperschmidt (A.K.A. Dr. K.) made the assignment for us to seriously consider this issue within the context of the ANA Code of Ethics (2001). Armed with the assignment, due date, and Code of Ethics (and Dr. K's opinion, which I will not share but I will tell you that I knew I was being a risk taker with how I was choosing to approach the assignment--something Dr. K. consistently encourages), I began. The ANA Code of Ethics provides the framework for ethical analysis and decision making for all professional nurses. According to the Code, under Provision 5.2 (p. 18), professional growth and maintenance of competence involves the control of one's own conduct in a way that is primarily self-regarding. Maintenance of personal and professional competence affects one's self-respect, self-esteem, professional status, and the meaningfulness of work. "The control of one's own" is a powerful statement, especially in relation to "meaningfulness of work." The criterion maintenance of personal and professional competence relates more to engagement, defined as emotional involvement or commitment to the job/organization, whereas satisfaction means the fulfillment of a need or want (Webster's, 1995).
