Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the motivations behind nursing students' major selection and their satisfaction with it, and identify the factors influencing their work values.
Methods: The descriptive correlational study included 132 nursing students from four universities in one metropolitan city who agreed to participate.
Results: The students’ major selection motivation, satisfaction with their major, and work values were rated at 3.14±0.73, 4.00±0.61, and 4.16±0.60, respectively, on a 5-point scale.
The model accounted for 34.0% of the variance in occupational values (F=23.02, p＜0.001). Major satisfaction demonstrated the highest influence on occupational values (?=.49, p＜0.001). Regarding post-graduation employment location, occupational values were significantly lower for students who desired employment in general hospitals (?=?.19, p=0.012) or other institutions (?=?0.16, p=0.030) compared to those aspiring to work in tertiar y hospitals. In contrast, the motivation students' major selection was not significantly correlate with their work values (r=0.09, p=0.294).
Conclusion: The motivation for selection of the major is not affected by post-admission experiences. However, satisfaction with the selected major can change during the course of study. To enhance the work value of nurses after graduating from a nursing college, efforts are needed to improve the satisfaction with the selected major during their university education.
