This paper is a report of a study to investigate the effect of organizational characteristics and perceived caring attributes of managers on nurses' job enjoyment.
Job satisfaction was the outcome of several studies about organizational or professional practice environments. Study variables predicted 30-60% of the variance in job satisfaction. Job enjoyment, the affective dimension of job satisfaction and manager caring were not variables in previous studies.
We recruited a convenience sample of Registered Nurses (n = 731) employed by a large healthcare system in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States of America. Participants were primarily staff nurses, female, white, full-time employees and 41 years of age or older. Most had a baccalaureate degree in nursing and 4.5% had an advanced practice license. Participants were surveyed in 2005 using Lake's Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index, Nyberg's Caring Assessment Scale, the Job Enjoyment Subscale of the Atwood and Hinshaw Job Satisfaction Scale and a demographic data form. Descriptive statistics were used to explore the study variables. Data were analysed using multiple regression.
Nursing foundations for quality of care, nurse manager ability, leadership and support of nurses, staffing and resource adequacy and collegial nurse-physician relations explained 30.6% of the variance in job enjoyment. Age, area of practice and job type explained an additional 5.4%.
Quantitative measures did not identify a majority of the variables associated with job enjoyment. Research using a qualitative and quantitative methodology with different practice samples may reveal other variables that influence job enjoyment.
本文报告一项研究，旨在调查组织特征和管理者的关怀特质对护士工作乐趣的影响。
工作满意度是关于组织或专业实践环境的多项研究的结果。研究变量预测了工作满意度中30%-60%的方差。工作乐趣，即工作满意度的情感维度以及管理者的关怀，在以往研究中并非变量。
我们从美国大西洋中部地区一个大型医疗系统雇佣的注册护士中抽取了一个便利样本（n = 731）。参与者主要是 staff nurses，女性，白人，全职员工，年龄在41岁及以上。大多数人拥有护理学学士学位，4.5%的人拥有高级执业执照。2005年，我们使用莱克的护理工作指数实践环境量表、尼伯格的关怀评估量表、阿特伍德和欣肖工作满意度量表中的工作乐趣子量表以及一份人口统计学数据表对参与者进行了调查。描述性统计用于探索研究变量。数据采用多元回归进行分析。
护理质量基础、护士长能力、对护士的领导和支持、人员配备和资源充足性以及护士与医生的合作关系解释了工作乐趣中30.6%的方差。年龄、实践领域和工作类型又解释了另外的5.4%。
定量测量未识别出与工作乐趣相关的大多数变量。采用定性和定量方法并针对不同实践样本进行的研究可能会揭示影响工作乐趣的其他变量。
