Method: The subjects were 266 nurses working at C university hospital in G city. Data were collected using a self-reported questionnaires. The data were analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, & multiple stepwise regression by SPSS 12.0 program. Result: The job satisfaction indicated a significant relationship to self-efficacy (r=.310, p<.001) and work stress (r=-.273, p<.001) respectively. The powerful predictors of job satisfaction were general self-efficacy (22.6%), over ￦2,500,000 at monthly income (7.3%), job stress (4.9%), work period at present unit (2.6%), which explained 41.3% of total variance of job satisfaction. It has been confirmed that the regression equation model of this research may serve as a predictor of clinical nurses' job satisfaction. Conclusions: We need to develop self-efficacy promoting and stress relief program for clinical nurses in order to improve job satisfaction.
