【 摘 要 】

IntroductionThis study examined occupational values, communication types, job satisfaction, and organisational commitment among clinical nurses across generations.MethodsParticipants were 159 clinical nurses. Data were collected from 1 to 15 August, 2022, using a self-reported questionnaire.ResultsStatistically significant differences were observed across generations in terms of job satisfaction (F = 3.492, p = 0.03) and organisational commitment (F = 4.371, p = 0.01). However, there were no differences in occupational values (F = 0.765, p = 0.47) or communication types (F = 1.744, p = 0.18) among clinical nurses across generations. There was a moderate to strong positive correlation between job satisfaction and organisational commitment across all generations, and a moderate positive correlation between job satisfaction and occupational values among Generations Y and Z.DiscussionTo improve the quality of nursing care, various intervention programs based on the generational gap among clinical nurses need to be developed, to reduce conflicts, and ultimately establishing the necessary systems through mutual understanding of education.
