摘要

Objectives: This study explored the issues of concern to individuals and hospitals regarding the organizations' career development programs from the standpoint of nurses. First, we examined the different characteristics of individuals and whether or not their career needs (career goal needs, career role needs, and career challenge needs) were different. Then, we considered how hospital accreditation affected nurses' career requirements and perception of their three career needs. Finally, we explored how perception of the career development program affected the nurses' job satisfaction and commitment to the organization.
Methods: Using data collected from 425 nurses in Taiwan, we performed multi-factor analysis of variance (MANOVA) and multiple comparisons to analyze the relationship between individual characteristics and career needs. We performed multiple hierarchical regressions to analyze the effect of career development programs on job satisfaction and commitment.
Results: There was a significant relationship between individual characteristics (age, position in hospital, work experience, education) and career needs. A hospital's accreditation did not affect the nurses' career needs; however, it did affect their perceptions of the career development programs. If a hospital can provide a satisfactory career development program, then that program will have a positive effect on the nurses’ job satisfaction and commitment to the organization.
Conclusions: When hospitals address the career needs of nurses, they must also consider the issues of age, position, experience and education. Nurses' positive perceptions of a career development program will have a favorable effect on job satisfaction and commitment.
