title: The effect of unit type and gender on Jordanian nurses' job satisfaction: a comparison of operating room, medical-surgical, and critical care nurses.
abstract: This study examines the quality of nursing work life for men and women in Jordan. Specifically it focuses on similarities and differences across three unit types: operating room, intensive care/critical care, and medical-surgical. Findings suggest that both gender and unit type should be considered when examining nurses' perceptions of the quality of work life.
