Development of a Performance-Based Reward System Model for Job Satisfaction of Nurse

Introduction: a reward system is one of the motivators that managers can use to improve performance, but this is often overlooked. This research was conducted to develop a performance-based reward system model to increase nurse job satisfaction.

Method: the design of this study used observational analytic, with a sample of 237 nurses from all nursing service units. Sampling using cluster random sampling. Data were analyzed using partial least square (PLS). Indicator variables namely reward, performance, reward system (intrinsic reward and extrinsic reward) were independent variables while job satisfaction variable was dependent variables.

Results:  there is an influence of the reward indicator on intrinsic reward (t = 3.940368> 1.96). There is an effect of reward indicator on extrinsic reward (t = 6.052527> 1.96). There is a performance effect on intrinsic reward (t = 8.504740> 1.96). There is a performance effect on extrinsic reward (t = 7.936353> 1.96). There is an influence of intrinsic reward on nurse job satisfaction (t = 6,257129> 1,96). There is an effect of extrinsic reward on nurse job satisfaction (t = 9,709050> 1,96).

Conclusion: the reward system model in this study is influenced by reward and performance indicators. The development of reward system models can affect the job satisfaction of nurses. So that a performance-based reward system needs to be developed to increase nurse job satisfaction.
