government. It also involved Forum Group Discussion for a group of clinical
nurses which was divided into 4 groups, and 1 interview group.
Result and Discussion:
The career structure of nurses in Wonosari Hospital still followed functional
career structure of Civil Service, in which management did not have optimal role
in guiding nurses� career. There were many factors that influenced nurse career
development such as career planning that most nurses in Wonosari Hospital did
not understand. Hospital management also had mindset that physical career to
improve revenues was more important the development of existing human
resources. Lack of appreciation for nurses� work performance led nurses to be
less motivated to improve their career.
