Abstract
This study was designed to discover perceived incentives for employment in terms of similarities in how employed and nonemployed nurses ranked employment inducements, and if the two groups could be differentiated on the basis of their rankings. March and Simon's (1958) theory was the basis for identifying inducements/incentives. A 47-item instrument was distributed randomly to a 5% sample of registered nurses (RNs) from a midwestern state. Similarities in incentives existed in the factor structure for both the employed and nonemployed. The factor structure for the part-employed approximated both groups depending on items considered. Little variance was accounted for by the instrument, indicating other variables need to be identified. Data indicate that the area of professionalism would be valuable in developing more items related to inducements/incentives.
