A survey of interdisciplinary differences in attitudes and morale within a psychiatric hospital

This survey has examined a number of job-related attitudes. Staff members in a traditional, hierarchically organized psychiatric hospital were the respondents. Differences between disciplines may be greater in this type of organization. It would be of interest to compare our sample with samples from hospitals structured along less traditional lines, such as in hospitals experimenting with program rather than discipline budgeting. These organizations, while creating unique problems of their own, might eliminate some of the differences found between disciplines in our survey.
