| Background: Career motivation plays a crucial role in nurses' professional growth and their decision to remain in their positions. While job embeddedness and perceived professional benefits are acknowledged as key influencing factors, there is limited research examining how perceived professional benefits may serve as a mediating mechanism between job embeddedness and career motivation. Aim: This study aimed to assess the effect of perceived professional benefits as a mediating factor between job embeddedness and career motivation among nurses at Suez Canal University Hospital. Design: A descriptive correlational research design was utilized. Setting: The study was conducted at Suez Canal University Hospital. Subjects: A simple random sample of 265 staff nurses was selected. Tools of data collection: Data was collected using the Nurses’ Perceived Professional Benefits Questionnaire, the Global Job Embeddedness Scale, and the Career Motivation Scale. Results: Most nurses reported moderate level of job embeddedness and career motivation. Significant positive correlations were found among job embeddedness, perceived professional benefits, and career motivation (p < 0.001). Regression analysis revealed that job embeddedness and perceived professional benefits significantly predicted career motivation. Conclusion: Perceived professional benefits play a pivotal mediating role between job embeddedness and career motivation among nurses. Recommendations: Enhancing nurses’ perceptions of professional benefits may strengthen career motivation and contribute to improved retention and professional satisfaction. | ||||
