To document specific factors important in paramedic job satisfaction and job performance. DESIGN AND TYPE OF PARTICIPANTS: A cohort analysis sampled 63 male public-agency paramedics and 131 private-agency paramedics (90 male, 41 female).
Three scales from the Michigan Organizational Assessment Questionnaire measured total job satisfaction. A four-item scale assessed attitudes toward paramedic job performance.
Fire paramedics reported highest levels of overall satisfaction, followed by male and female private-agency paramedics. Fire paramedics reported higher levels of intrinsic job satisfaction (eg, opportunity to learn new things) than private-agency paramedics. Differences in extrinsic job satisfaction (eg, pay, benefits) were even greater between fire paramedics and private-agency paramedics. Fire paramedics reported higher satisfaction than female private-agency paramedics with the social rewards of work (eg, the way they are treated by their coworkers). These findings were not explained by age, race, education level, and years on the job. Analysis of the attitudes toward paramedic job performance scale suggested that male paramedics are more likely to believe that female paramedics are not as capable of performing certain job functions.
Type of agency and gender affect job satisfaction. Male public-agency paramedics are most satisfied, and female private-agency paramedics are least satisfied with their jobs.
记录护理人员工作满意度和工作绩效中重要的具体因素。
一项队列分析对63名男性公共机构护理人员和131名私人机构护理人员（90名男性，41名女性）进行了抽样。
采用密歇根组织评估问卷中的三个量表来衡量总体工作满意度。一个四项量表评估对护理人员工作绩效的态度。
消防护理人员报告的总体满意度最高，其次是男性和女性私人机构护理人员。消防护理人员报告的内在工作满意度（如学习新事物的机会）高于私人机构护理人员。消防护理人员和私人机构护理人员在外在工作满意度（如薪酬、福利）方面的差异更大。消防护理人员比女性私人机构护理人员对工作的社会回报（如同事对待他们的方式）更满意。这些发现无法用年龄、种族、教育水平和工作年限来解释。对护理人员工作绩效量表态度的分析表明，男性护理人员更有可能认为女性护理人员在执行某些工作职能方面能力不足。
机构类型和性别会影响工作满意度。男性公共机构护理人员对工作最满意，而女性私人机构护理人员对工作最不满意。
