It means according to the value of each indicator, this fit model closely acceptable.
4.5.2 The Relationship Among Variables
The initial theoretical model with standardized path coefficient is displayed in figure 4.22 the test statistic for parameter estimates is assessed by
critical ratio c.r.. It represents the parameter estimate divided by its standard error. Critical ratio values larger than 1.96 prove the path coefficient to be
statistically significant at p .05. The chi – square of the theoretical model was
Chi-square 531,301 with 215 degree of freedom df. It was statistically significant at p 0.001. a non significant chi
– square shows support for believing that the differences of the predicted and actual matrices are non significant and it
indicates an acceptable fit Hail et al. 1998, therefore a non significant chi –
square is desirable.

The hypotheses were tested by using Structural Equation Model SEM. As a direct or indirect effect of the exogenous variables can be specified by
identifying paths among variables, a path analysis was conducted to test the overall causal model. As discussed in the earlier section, the model has been
tested to assess the overall fit of the model. Also, individual tests of the hypothesized relationship were conducted. The critical t value CR used to assess
the significance of the relationship between two path is 1.96 p.05. A CR value above 1.96 means the relationship of the causal model is significant. The results
of the hypotheses testing are shown in table 4.22
H1: job stress has significant impact on job satisfaction of Nurses who work at private hospital in Padang
Hypothesis 1 investigated the negative impact relationship of job stress and job satisfaction of nurses who work at private hospital in Padang. The

Hypothesis 2 examined the positive relationship of organizational support and job satisfaction of nurses who work at private hospital in Padang. Because the
