Indications are that job satisfaction of nurses in South Africa is at a low level. The need to determine factors related to this situation prompted a study in which an attempt was made to determine whether self-concept (measured by Vrey's self-concept Scale) and career orientation scores (determined by means of the Career Orientation Inventory (COI) developed by Schein) could predict the level of job satisfaction of nurses (measured by means of the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ)). The instruments were applied to 86 professional nurses employed in an academic (teaching) hospital. The sample was divided into a high satisfaction group (N = 46) and a low satisfaction (N = 40) group. Hotelling's T2, MANOVA, Stepwise Multiple Regression and discriminant analyses were used to analyze the data. Results indicated that the two groups differed on several self-concept scales and on one career orientation scale. Eighteen per cent of the variance in job satisfaction could be explained by means of career orientation and self-concept scores. Sixty seven per cent of the respondents were placed in the correct group (in terms of their job satisfaction level) using self-concept and career orientation scores.
有迹象表明，南非护士的工作满意度处于较低水平。确定与这种情况相关因素的需求促使开展了一项研究，该研究试图确定自我概念（通过弗雷伊自我概念量表测量）和职业取向得分（通过施恩开发的职业取向量表确定）是否能够预测护士的工作满意度水平（通过明尼苏达工作满意度问卷测量）。这些工具被应用于一家学术（教学）医院的86名专业护士。样本被分为高满意度组（N = 46）和低满意度组（N = 40）。使用霍特林T2、多变量方差分析、逐步多元回归和判别分析来分析数据。结果表明，两组在几个自我概念量表和一个职业取向量表上存在差异。工作满意度中18%的方差可以通过职业取向和自我概念得分来解释。使用自我概念和职业取向得分，67%的受访者被归入了正确的组（就其工作满意度水平而言）。
