This study investigated the structure and correlates of previously published job satisfaction and attitude measures for nurses through an analysis of responses from staff working in two psychogeriatric wards. A number of inter-correlations were found between the attitude and satisfaction scales. Factor analysis revealed that one of the attitude scales was multi-dimensional and it is suggested that future research should not assume the uni-dimensionality of attitude and satisfaction constructs. It is concluded that psychometric research has important limitations, that a multiplicity of research strategies (both quantitative and qualitative) should be employed in future investigations and that more importance should be accorded to the organizational context of job satisfaction.
本研究通过分析两个老年精神科病房工作人员的回复，调查了先前发表的护士工作满意度和态度测量工具的结构及其相关因素。在态度量表和满意度量表之间发现了一些相互关联。因子分析表明，其中一个态度量表是多维的，建议未来的研究不应假定态度和满意度结构为单维。研究得出结论，心理测量研究存在重要局限性，未来的调查应采用多种研究策略（包括定量和定性），并且应更加重视工作满意度的组织背景。
