    • Occupational Health
    • Psychometrics

    Background:

    • Job satisfaction is linked to performance but lacks precise measurement, particularly in healthcare.
    • Existing measures may not adequately capture the nuances of satisfaction in medical settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate occupational satisfaction among nurses.
    • To develop and validate a reliable method for measuring nurse job satisfaction.

    Main Methods:

    • A two-year research project involving in-and outpatient nurses.
    • Development of the Index of Work Satisfaction scale.
    • Utilized nurses from hospital and private group-practice settings for scale development and analysis.
