Existing research often examines work stress and organizational support in isolation, overlooking their interrelationships. This study aimed to investigate the current status of job stress, job satisfaction, and perceived organizational support (POS) among clinical nurse managers, and to examine the mediating role of POS in the relationship between job stress and job satisfaction using path analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross\u2010sectional descriptive design was employed. A convenience sample of 192 clinical nurse managers from a tertiary Grade A hospital in Beijing completed online surveys during June\u2013July 2024. Measures included the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), the Nurse Work Stress Source Scale, and an Organizational Support Scale. Path analysis with bootstrapping was conducted using SPSS 27.0 and AMOS 21.0 to test direct, indirect, and total effects.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Overall job satisfaction was moderate to high (81.42\u2009\u00b1\u200910.34). Job satisfaction was positively correlated with POS and negatively correlated with work stress. The final structural model demonstrated good fit, explaining 62% of the variance in job satisfaction. Work stress directly negatively predicted job satisfaction (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009\u22120.315). POS directly positively predicted job satisfaction (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.545). Importantly, POS significantly mediated the stress\u2013satisfaction relationship, indicating that higher organizational support reduces the negative impact of work stress on satisfaction.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Perceived organizational support directly enhances job satisfaction and partially buffers the detrimental effect of work stress among clinical nurse managers. Hospital administrators should prioritize resource allocation, developmental opportunities, and structural support\u2014particularly for nursing team leaders and older managers\u2014to improve job satisfaction and retention. Future research should employ longitudinal and multi\u2011center designs to establish causality and test context\u2011specific interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hsr2.73390","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,13]],"date-time":"2026-10-13T07:48:33Z","timestamp":1791877713000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Path Analysis of Factors Influencing Job Satisfaction Among Clinical Nurse Managers: A Cross\u2010Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8157-6914","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhang","family":"WenXin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department China\u2013Japan Friendship Hospital  China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liu","family":"Liping","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department China\u2013Japan Friendship Hospital  China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-7118-7982","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Li","family":"Yue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department China\u2013Japan Friendship Hospital  China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sun","family":"YuHong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department China\u2013Japan Friendship Hospital  China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,13]]},"reference":[{"issue":"18","key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","first-page":"2458","article-title":"Development of a Nurse Manager Role Behavior Evaluation Scale Based on Mintzberg's Management Theory","volume":"20","author":"Zhou G.
