The purpose of this study was to determine if a difference in job satisfaction existed between medical technologists working in an urban hospital and those working in a suburban hospital. The four areas of investigation were (1) satisfaction with pay, (2) professional status, (3) medical technologist-physician relationship, and (4) job task requirements. Sixty medical technologists, from two different hospital locations, were surveyed using a work satisfaction questionnaire. A response rate of 60 percent from the suburban and 58 percent from the urban hospital was achieved. Analysis using the Mann-Whitney U test indicated that urban laboratorians were more satisfied with all areas of interest than were their suburban counterparts. The surveyed medical technologists were most satisfied with professional status, medical technologist-physician relationship, pay, and job task requirements. All scores were, in general, low, suggesting a need to attend to improved job satisfaction among medical technologists.
本研究的目的是确定在城市医院工作的医学技术人员与在郊区医院工作的医学技术人员之间在工作满意度上是否存在差异。调查的四个方面包括：（1）对薪酬的满意度，（2）职业地位，（3）医学技术人员与医生的关系，以及（4）工作任务要求。使用工作满意度调查问卷对来自两个不同医院地点的60名医学技术人员进行了调查。郊区医院的回应率为60%，城市医院的回应率为58%。使用曼-惠特尼U检验进行分析表明，城市医院的检验人员对所有感兴趣的方面都比郊区医院的同行更满意。接受调查的医学技术人员对职业地位、医学技术人员与医生的关系、薪酬和工作任务要求最为满意。总体而言，所有分数都较低，这表明有必要关注提高医学技术人员的工作满意度。
