Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the factors determining salary level of hospital.
Methods: This study performed secondary analysis on the existing data. Data were collected from May 1, 2005 to
September 30, 2005. Analysis of the results was carried out using SPSS win 12.0 program for t-test, ANOVA and multiple regression.
Results: For the determinant factors on the level of nurse’s salary, the R2 for this whole regression model was .72, indicating that approximately 72% of the variance in salary level of the nurses was accounted for by the linear combination of these three independent variables, the size of hospitals, the characteristics of a fund, and nursing delivery system.
Conclusion: Salary is a major part of human resource management and is compensation for the labor of nurses and is a motive to nurses. Each hospital’s salary needs to be more affordable to nurses.
