ABSTRACT
The purpose of this research project is to find out if nurses' job
satisfaction at a particular hospital in Bataan is related to an enjoyable
practice environment. This study will evaluate elements such leadership
support, teamwork, work-life balance, and chances for professional
development that contribute to creating an enjoyable practice environment
for nurses. And aims to provide insights that can improve the working
environment and job satisfaction level of nurses in the hospital setting by
exploring the relationship between the above variables and nurses' job
satisfaction.
