Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory was used as the theoretical framework for the study. The Non-nursing Task Survey was developed by the researcher and utilized to measure the amount of time spent performing 23 non-nursing tasks. The instrument utilized to measure job satisfaction was the Index of Work Satisfaction (Stamps & Piedmonte, 1986) which examined task requirements, autonomy, pay, organizational policies, professional status and interaction as factors related to nurses' perceived job satisfaction Returned questionnaires from a nationwide sample of 147 CNNs were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The hypothesis for the study was supported, indicating an inverse relationship between the time spent performing non-nursing tasks and the level of job satisfaction among CNNs.en-USNursingHealth and environmental sciencesLabor relationshipsSocial sciencesThesis
