The relationship between variables were analyzed using Pearson’s correlations. The results showed that there were significant relationship between interpersonal conflict (r = -.23, p < 0.05), organizational constraints (r = -.31, p < 0.01) and job satisfaction. Meanwhile correlation result found that there was no significant xi relationship between quantitative workload and job satisfaction (r = -.02, p > 0.05). Based on multiple regression analysis revealed that 26.8% of the variance in job satisfaction was explained by interpersonal conflict and organizational constraint. Interpersonal conflict (β = -1.33, p <.005) was identified as the strongest predictor followed by organizational constraint (β = -.963, p <.005). In conclusion interpersonal conflict and organizational constraint may contribute to nurse’s job satisfaction.
