This study investigated the relation between job satisfaction and career commitment among 262 Alzheimer's care staff working in long-term and community-based care settings. It was anticipated that the results would suggest whether career commitment could be enhanced to positively influence job satisfaction, and conversely, if improvements in job satisfaction might contribute to a deepened sense of vocational empowerment. Participants attended dementia-specific training and completed 2 short work-related questionnaires that measured job satisfaction and career commitment. The results of stepwise regression revealed interrelations between the 2 constructs. Congruence appeared to be reciprocal with respect to the overall scale scores and the intrinsic job satisfaction measure. Unexpected relations appeared in analyses of the extrinsic job satisfaction measure and the career planning subscale. Results are indicative of the fundamental distinction between job satisfaction and career commitment. Implications for efforts to reduce turnover and improve staff empowerment are also considered.
本研究调查了在长期和社区护理环境中工作的 262 名阿尔茨海默病护理人员的工作满意度和职业承诺之间的关系。预计研究结果将表明职业承诺是否可以增强，以积极影响工作满意度，反之，如果工作满意度的提高是否有助于加深职业赋权感。参与者参加了专门的痴呆症培训，并完成了 2 份简短的与工作相关的问卷，测量了工作满意度和职业承诺。逐步回归的结果显示了这两个结构之间的相互关系。在整体量表评分和内在工作满意度测量方面，一致性似乎是相互的。在对外在工作满意度测量和职业规划子量表的分析中出现了意外的关系。结果表明了工作满意度和职业承诺之间的基本区别。还考虑了减少人员流动和提高员工赋权的努力的影响。
