Job Satisfaction
This is an excerpt from the paper...
An earlier study by Blegen and Mueller (1987, p. 227) also established the significance to nursing of job satisfaction among nurses. Blegen and Mueller (1987, p. 227) considered the various dimension of the concept of job satisfaction, and narrowed the problem to be investigated to the association of selected causal factor with job satisfaction considered in a uni dimensional context. Blegen and Mueller (1987, p. 228) reviewed the development of a specific theoretical model of the relationship between job satisfaction and several factors. This theoretical model was then tested by Blegen and Mueller (1987, pp. 227230) for effectiveness is assessing job satisfaction among professional nurses. Blegen and Mueller (1987, p. 227) clearly delineated the significance of job satisfaction to the nursing profession. In this study also, the significance of the study purpose (testing a causal model of job satisfaction in relation to professional nurses) to the practice of nursing was derived from the broader statement of significance (Blegen and Mueller, 1987, p. 228). Blegen and Mueller (1987, pp. 228229) did not clearly state a specific hypothesis. The authors did, however, describe expected relationships between variables, which, in effect, developed implied hypotheses (Blegen and Mueller, 1987, pp. 228229). Blegen and Mueller (1987, pp. 227230), while not providing explicit definitions of important terms, did include such definitions in textual definitions. Blegen and Mue

tablished the significance to nursing practice of an ability to measure the effects of management style, but did not do the same for job satisfaction. Lucas (1991, pp. 119122) did not clearly state an hypothesis or predicted variable relationships that would permit the identification of an implied hypothesis. Lucas (1991, pp. 119122), as was true of Blegen (1993, pp. 3638) neither explicitly defined important terms nor included such definitions in textual discussions. Rather, Lucas (1991, pp. 119122) appeared to assume that the reader would be familiar with such terms. Lucas (1991, pp. 121123) described and explained the correlation design employed in the study. The research design was appropriate for the study purpose. The population for the Lucas (1991, p. 121) study was comprised of all registered nurses on the staffs of two public and two private acute care hospitals located in a southeastern metropolitan area. A voluntary sample was drawn on the basis of returned data collection questionnaires (Lucas, 1991, p. 121). The sample accounted for 54.8 percent of the research population, and thus, was likely representative. Both the population and the sample could be replicated. A questionnaire was developed especiall
