This study is intended to discuss the relevance between the job satisfaction of nursery home workers (i.e., the nurses and nursing assistants), their intentions to maintain their current job, and the leadership styles of their direct superiors. Purposive sampling is used in this study. Questionnaires were sent to legitimate nursery homes with the capacity of more than 50 beds in New Taipei City. Totally 231 valid respondents of the questionnaires is retrieved (105 nurses and 126 nursing assistants), accounting for 96% of the total questionnaires sent. The results of this study are as follows: (1) The years of working experience as nurses and the leadership styles of their supervisors show significant difference. (2) Significant difference is seen between the job satisfaction and the ages of nurses, but no significant difference is seen in age subgroup analyses. (3) There is significant difference between the ages of the nursing assistants and their intentions to maintain their jobs. (4) The leadership styles and the intentions of nursery home workers to maintain their current job has moderate to strong positive correlations. (5) The job satisfaction of nursery home workers and their intentions to maintain their jobs also shows significant difference.
