Abstract. This article is a literature review that examines the application of Nudge Theory in HRM to enhance job satisfaction and lessen burnout among healthcare professionals. Nudge HRM techniques are used to increase productivity and well-being by means of focused interventions that do not limit employees’ freedom, but instead motivate them to make wiser decisions. The essay explains the fundamentals of Nudge Theory and emphasizes its significance for healthcare workers, who frequently experience high levels of stress and burnout as a result of their demanding jobs. Also, it focuses on applications of Nudge Theory in HRM practices, which provide employees with higher flexibility and support for self-care. It analyses as well how improved working conditions that foster mental health, can help to reduce burnout. The article draws a conclusion that workers’ well-being and the scope of the healthcare they deliver, can both be enhanced by modest, but focused measures.
Keywords: Nudge practices, job satisfaction, burnout, health workers
