Abstract

Multigenerational workforces are increasingly common in healthcare settings, yet their impact on team functioning and job satisfaction remains underexplored in primary government hospitals, particularly in low- and middle-income contexts. This study examined the predictive effects of perceived intergenerational differences and team dynamics on job satisfaction among nurses. A descriptive–correlational–predictive design was employed, involving 103 registered nurses from three government hospitals in Laguna, Philippines,

selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measuring intergenerational differences, team dynamics, and job satisfaction, and were analyzed using Pearson correlation and linear regression. Results revealed a significant moderate positive relationship between intergenerational differences and the outcome variable, r(101) = .589, p < .001. Regression analysis indicated that intergenerational differences significantly predicted job satisfaction, explaining 34.7% of the variance (R² =

.347, p < .001). These findings suggest that generational dynamics play a meaningful role in shaping workplace outcomes among nurses. Intergenerational differences and team dynamics are significant determinants of job satisfaction, and targeted organizational strategies, such as mentorship programs, may enhance collaboration and improve workforce outcomes in multigenerational healthcare environments.
