Abstract

This study aims to examine the key factors that influence the career advancement of nursing staff within health organizations in East Jerusalem. Specifically, it analyzes six major variables: economic conditions, environmental factors, communication, organizational policies, demographic characteristics, and academic qualifications. A total of 135 nursing staff from hospitals and medical centers in East Jerusalem were purposively selected for the study, with 120 valid responses included in the final analysis. The results indicate that organizational policies have the most significant impact on nursing staff promotions, followed closely by the work environment and communication practices. Interestingly, economic factors— particularly monthly salary—were found to have the least influence on career progression. To improve promotion opportunities, the study suggests several measures: increasing nursing staff salaries, involving them in decision-making processes, ensuring suitable job placements, fostering a culture of shared responsibility, and enhancing communication with leadership. The study also found no significant differences in promotion opportunities related to academic and demographic factors, except for specific elements such as qualifications, job titles, workplace, marital status, place of residence, income levels, organizational policies, environmental conditions, communication, and economic aspects. Additionally, it was noted that medical centers reported the highest promotion rates, with an 89% participation rate and a 69% promotion level among nursing staff. These findings emphasize the critical role of career advancement in improving healthcare services within East Jerusalem's hospitals and medical centers. By prioritizing nursing promotions and investing in workforce development, healthcare institutions can ensure a well-trained, motivated nursing staff capable of meeting the evolving healthcare needs of the community.
