Abstract
Introduction: This study aims to determine the relationship between individual characteristics and work environment with nurses’ performance in hospitals. Specifically, the study examined how demographic characteristics, leadership style, professional development and other work environment elements influence nurses’ performance outcomes.
Methods: A quantitative research design with a cross-sectional approach was used. The research was conducted in the inpatient department of the Aceh Singkil Regional General Hospital on August 12 to 24, 2024. The study population was 134 nurses, with 109 respondents selected by accidental sampling. Inclusion criteria included at least one year of work experience and actively working at the time of data collection. Data were collected using questionnaires measuring individual characteristics, work environment (based on American Nurses Credentialing Center), and nurses’ work performance. Data were analyzed using chi-square and multiple logistic regression.
Results: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between age, gender, marital status, education, tenure, quality, leadership style, staffing programs and policies, autonomy, and professional development with nurses’ work performance (p = 0.029), (p = 0.000), (p = 0.015), (p = 0.000), (p = 0.030), (p = 0.001), (p = 0.000), ((p = 0.001), (p = 0.042). However, interdisciplinary relationships did not show a significant relationship with job performance (p = 0.097). Professional development has the strongest influence on nurses’ work performance, with an Odds Ratio (OR) of 8.72 (95% CI 0.670-3.662), which indicates that nurses who have good professional development have 8.72 times the probability of achieving excellent work performance.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that professional development is the factor most associated with nurses’ job performance.
