DIFFERENCES IN TYPOLOGY AMONG NURSES AT DIFFERENT LEVELS OF MANAGEMENT IN ACUTE CARE INSTITUTIONS AS MEASURED BY THE MBTI Catherine Marie DeVet, Ed.D. Western Michigan University, 1985 This survey research study explored differences in personality types between staff nurses and nurse managers in acute care institu tions (hospitals). The study tested a theory about expected differ ences which was based on an extensive literature review of nursing administration and type theory as developed by Jung and measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Eight acute care institutions were selected randomly from hospi tals listed by the American Hospital Association (1983) as having 40C-600 beds and located in the state of Michigan but outside of Wayne County. Of the eight hospitals approached, permission to conduct the study was obtained in five. The sample for the study consisted of all female middle nurse managers, all female first-line nurse managers, and two randomly selected full-time female staff nurses from each clinical area in the institutions. The three groups comprised the levels of nurse management, the independent variable. The final sample consisted of 36 middle nurse managers, 97 first-line nurse managers, and 210 staff nurses. Data on the dependent variable, the types of the individuals, were obtained using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. A second re search instrument, the Personal Data Survey, was used to collect Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

Analysis of the data collected resulted in the following conclu sions : 1. Parts of the theory developed from the literature review were supported. 2. Staff nurses had a majority of sensing, feeling, and judging types, consistent with the expected tasks of the direct care giver. 3. More intuitive types, intuitive plus thinking types, and less sensing plus feeling types were in the composite group of nurse managers than the staff nurse group. 4. Middle nurse managers had more intuitives and perceptives but fewer sensing plus feeling types than first-line nurse managers. Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. University Microfilms International 300 N. Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Ml 48106 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.
