Abstract:
Nursing shortage is one of the major problems that face the nursing leaders in Saudi Arabia. This article will focus on the role of financial incentive as a strategy to motivate and enhance nurses’ job satisfaction and alleviate nursing shortage among Saudi nurses. Incentives are important as they motivate, attract and retain nurses in the era of shortage. It is important to form a desirable incentive system to attract and motivate Saudi and non-Saudi nurses to work in Saudi Arabian governmental hospitals. This article looks at the role incentives play in the nursing career in Saudi Arabia. In so doing, the article attempts to shed light on the factors which govern the incentives framework in Saudi Arabia with the pertinent experience of other countries in mind where necessary.
