The aims of this study were to describe how the employees of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) clinics in Sweden perceive "good work", i.e. their image of the good dimensions that the profession should contain and to investigate if there is a discrepancy between ideal and reality for this group. The study was based on a questionnaire with 67 questions, related to quality management at the clinic, health and the content of good work in two sections, one with the headline "defines good work" and the other "fulfilled 'in my present work' ". Each section was subdivided into 12 parts covering aspects of good work. The maxillo-facial surgeons rated "intellectually stimulating work" as most important (91%), and the "hazard-free work environment" as least important (48%). The nurses rated "stimulating fellowship" as most important (84%), and the "opportunity for career advancement" as least important (27%). The percentage unit differences between the ideal and the reality were largest for the item "the work provides opportunities to have an influence on important decisions". Maxillo-facial surgeons had the greatest differences for that question and nurses had the greatest differences in "the work is well paid". A principal components analysis was performed and three factors explained more than half of the variance (52%). The factors were interpreted as (1) aiming at moral values and possibilities for skill discretion, as (2) career development, and as (3) work environment. The employees of OMFS clinics in Sweden emphasized free, influential, and intellectually stimulating work, but the discrepancy between ideal and reality was rather wide. Three factors of work environment could be established.
本研究的目的是描述瑞典口腔颌面外科（OMFS）诊所的员工如何看待“出色的工作”，即他们对该职业应具备的良好维度的认知，并调查该群体的理想与现实之间是否存在差异。该研究基于一份包含67个问题的问卷，涉及诊所的质量管理、健康以及出色工作的内容，分为两个部分，一部分标题为“定义出色的工作”，另一部分为“在我目前的工作中实现”。每个部分又细分为12个涵盖出色工作方面的部分。颌面外科医生认为“智力上有刺激性的工作”最为重要（91%），而“无危害的工作环境”最不重要（48%）。护士认为“有刺激性的伙伴关系”最为重要（84%），而“职业发展机会”最不重要（27%）。理想与现实之间的百分比单位差异在“工作提供对重要决策产生影响的机会”这一项目上最大。颌面外科医生在该问题上的差异最大，而护士在“工作报酬丰厚”方面的差异最大。进行了主成分分析，三个因素解释了超过一半的方差（52%）。这些因素被解释为：（1）以道德价值观和技能裁量权的可能性为目标，（2）职业发展，以及（3）工作环境。瑞典OMFS诊所的员工强调自由、有影响力和智力上有刺激性的工作，但理想与现实之间的差距相当大。可以确定工作环境的三个因素。
