Hospitals are the social systems, which combine science, people and technology and are form on the basis of mutual interests. Human resources have been described as “The heart of the health system in any country”. Human resource development in the hospital is directed by various physical and psychological factors. Modern researches have proved that not only fine materials, sophisticated technology, good working conditions make for progress and effectiveness of an organization but employees motivation, performance, abilities and skills plays a crucial role in determining the effectiveness of organization. In modern hospitals, different categories of staff work in different capacities. The doctors, the nursing staff, different types of technicians, management personnel contribute substantially to the smooth functioning of the hospital. Hospital employees are supposed to work with the single motto of making available to the patients, the services upto their expectations. Nurses play an integral role in the healthcare system. This is why they have been correctly referred to as the heart of healthcare. Being a nurse is one of the most demanding professions in the world and needs a lot of dedication and commitment to the job. Humans perform optimally when satisfied with their work. Job satisfaction is determined by the degree to which the characteristics of a job fulfil a person’s needs. The higher the balance of satisfaction over dissatisfaction, the more likely it is that an individual will play an active role in the fulfilment of organizational goals. The health care system can efficiently deliver the services with the assistance of nurses who find satisfaction in their jobs. This paper dwells on the roles of nurses and the impact of job satisfaction of nurses in both private and public hospitals and also the factors responsible for job satisfaction. This paper also evaluates the variables and their impact on job satisfaction.
