Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes the partial and collective relationships between the dimensions of emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence and nurses’ job satisfaction.


Research Method: This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional analytical observational design. The sample consisted of 88 nurses from the inpatient ward at Labuang Baji Regional General Hospital in Makassar, selected through total sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using simple and multiple linear regression.


Results and Discussion: Self-motivation and transcendental awareness are positively associated with job satisfaction. Empathy and critical existential thinking have negative coefficients in the multiple model. However, their directions are opposite to those in the bivariate results, suggesting the possibility of suppression or model instability. The other dimensions do not show significant partial associations. Collectively, all dimensions are significantly related to job satisfaction and account for 56.8% of its variance, though causality cannot be established.


Implications: Hospitals can integrate the development of spiritual motivation and capacity into professional training programs, along with improvements in working conditions. Multicenter, longitudinal studies with construct validation and control for confounding factors are needed.


Originality: This study examines, in an integrated manner, the relationship between nine emotional and spiritual dimensions and job satisfaction among nurses in public hospitals.
