Subscribe/Renew Journal
The present study attempts to compare the nurses employed at public and private sector hospitals in and around Kolkata city with regard to their levels of role satisfaction. The sample consists of a total number of 82 female nurses among whom 42 are employed at the public sector hospitals and the rest belong to the private sector ones. The Motivational Analysis of Organisations-Role Satisfaction Scale has been administered on the subjects. The findings indicate significant differences between the nurses of the two sectors concerning various dimensions, namely, achievement, control and extension as well as the overall levels of role satisfaction. The two groups of subjects, however, have not differed significantly regarding influence and affiliation. Moreover, the nurses employed at the public sector hospitals are found to be more dissatisfied with their role playing as nurses as compared to those belonging to the private sector hospitals.
