Moderating effect of work-related social support on the relationship between role conflicts and job satisfaction among female nurses pursuing a further degree in China.

The study revealed that when nurses perceived that they received a low or moderate level of social support in the workplace that strengthened the relationship between work-family-school role conflicts and job satisfaction. Hospital administrators should implement school- and family-friendly policies that increase the social support provided to nurses pursuing further degrees to balance their responsibilities of work, family and school and to improve their job satisfaction.
