Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of directing function of nurse unit manager and team leader to the nursejob contentment among staff nurses. The research method was a quasi experiment, pre-post test with control group design.The data gathered before and after the directing function (hand over, pre conference, post conference, motivational climate,supervision and delegation) had trained and guided to the nurse unit manager and team leader. The samples were 75respondents, determined by purposive sampling. They were 35 nurse staffs (experimental group) and the others (controlgroup). The instrument was a questionnaire consisted 36 of Likert scale statements adopted from Minnesota SatisfactionQuestionnaire. The result showed that the level of nurse job satisfaction in the experimental group increased higher significantlythan the control group (p= 0.000; = 0.005). Putting the directing function into action consistently in the daily nursingpractice improved the probability of the nurse job satisfaction level about 67.40% and enhanced it around 16.746 point. Theday-to-day maintaining their job satisfaction level should be done through directing function so that they will deliver highqualitynursing care
