Trust in management and its relation to job satisfaction and intentions to remain for northern British Columbia nurses.

Job satisfaction and, more importantly, retention, have been at the forefront of healthcare in British Columbia and trust in management is believed to be a significant factor in both retention and job satisfaction in many areas of literature. This study examined, through survey and structured interview, the job beliefs and attitudes of 123 registered nurses working in hospitals in northern British Columbia. The results of the study showed that while job satisfaction and intentions to remain are related to nurse's trust in management, the correlation is not as high as correlations found in other fields. This seems to indicate that further examination of trust in nursing may have to be done before the role that trust plays can truly be determined.
