Although job satisfaction is related to performance within the work setting, precise definitions and methods of measuring satisfaction are lacking, especially in medical settings. This article describes a two-year research project that investigated the concept of occupational satisfaction and methods of measuring this concept among in-and outpatient nurses. The Index of Work Satisfaction, a scale that measures relative importance of various components of satisfaction and attitudes toward the components, as well as an overall summary score, was developed. Methodology of the scale development, utilizing hospital nurses and nurses involved in a private group-practice setting, is described. Analysis of the responses from the nurses indicated that the scale measured occupational satifaction of nurses in both settings.
尽管工作满意度与工作环境中的绩效相关，但目前仍缺乏对满意度的精确界定和测量方法，在医疗环境中尤其如此。本文介绍了一项为期两年的研究项目，该项目调查了职业满意度的概念以及在门诊和住院部护士中测量这一概念的方法。开发了工作满意度指数，这是一种衡量满意度各个组成部分的相对重要性、对这些组成部分的态度以及总体汇总得分的量表。文中描述了利用医院护士和参与私人团体执业环境的护士来开发该量表的方法。对护士们的回答进行的分析表明，该量表测量了两种环境下护士的职业满意度。
