Introduction: Organizations are the major institutions in the world that their efficiency is dependent on human resources and human performance. Positive attitude towards the job is an important target in any organization to improve the human resources. As long as, there is the interest focuses of researchers on informal learning based on job satisfaction impacts. This study investigated the relationship between informal learning and its components with job satisfaction among nurses in governmental teaching hospitals of Isfahan city. Methods: The current research was conducted as a descriptive- correlation study during 2011. The population consisted of the whole nurses (785) in governmental teaching hospitals of Isfahan city. The sample was included about 278 nurses that selected based on Cohen et al table from different departments of governmental teaching hospitals of Isfahan city and was selected by contribution random sampling method. The Informal learning questionnaire of Alonderiene and the job satisfaction questionnaire of Warr et al were used. The validity of content and construct was confirmed and the reliability with Cronbach's alpha calculated 0/73 and 0/89 respectively. The research data analyzed in descriptive (frequency, percent, mean, standard deviation) and inferential (Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression) statistics levels, using SPSS16 software. Findings: There was a positive and meaningful relationships between job satisfaction along with informal learning (r=337/0), the need for acquisition (r=230/0), Positive attitudes of responders (r=0/164), allocation of resources and time (r=120/0) and information (r=303/0). The simultaneous multiple regression results showed that the required acquisition, upstream information and positive attitudes had the ability to predict the job satisfaction which confirmed this relationship in stepwise regression. That is the data collection, requirement to acquisition and positive attitudes towards learning as on 0/089, 0/139, 0/167 had the power to predict job satisfaction. Conclusions: Based on achieved results, we can expect by improving caregivers attitudes toward learning activities and to create a feeling of need to learn among nurses, the job satisfactions of nurses will be improved in teaching hospitals of Isfahan city. It seems that job satisfaction can be determined in terms of need for data acquisition and having a positive attitude on learning.
