When it comes to health sector, it becomes more important to have satisfied workforce in order to provide quality patient care. Notable reports and studies have outlined the grieving issue of lack of job satisfaction amongst nurses. Based on the need and importance of the issue, the current study investigated how job characteristics, team climate and psychological resources can be of value in enhancing nurse job satisfaction. Nurses from public sector hospitals in the Hyderabad Sindh state of Pakistan were targeted. A total of 130 valid responses were taken for final results and analysis through using SmartPLS 2.0. The findings outlined that Esprit de Corps and Task significance does not correlate with nurse job satisfaction. Importantly, psychological resources including self-efficacy and resilience resulted in statistically significant relationship with nurse job satisfaction.
