Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of nurse educators' competency on their job satisfaction. Methods: The subjects of this study were nurses in charge of nursing education at the general hospital level or higher organization. Data were collected via an online survey from May 3 to May 20, 2024, from 91 respondents. The survey questionnaires included general characteristics, competency, and job satisfaction. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients, t-tests, and simple linear regression were performed using SPSS 21. Results: There was a positive correlation between nurse educators' competency and job satisfaction. Specifically, professional knowledge (r=.47, p<.001), research competency (r=.47, p<.001), task standardization competency (r=.46, p<.001), communication skills (r=.42, p<.001), and educational implementation competency (r=.42, p<.001) showed positive correlations with job satisfaction. The differences in competency based on completing the advanced nurse training course was not significant (t=-1.46, p=.149). However, competency level was found to significantly affect job satisfaction (β=.49, p<.001). Conclusion: The study highlights the need for competency-based education programs to strengthen nurse educators' qualifications systematically.
