Attitude surveys of registered nurses were conducted in 1984 (just prior to implementation of prospective payment) and in 1989 (after implementation of changes responsive to prospective payment and increased competition) in an academic medical center. Results indicate more negative attitudes toward hospital administration, pay and promotional opportunities in 1989. However, overall job satisfaction, job variety, job market alternatives, participation in decision making, and intention to leave were unchanged while job variety and perceptions of job market alternatives were more positive in 1989. Implications for health-care management and future research are discussed.
