Heads of Unit Managers A program to improve the job satisfaction of the Unit Managers surveyed in this study would be most beneficial if directed toward fulfillment of the individual’s self-esteem, self-autonomy, and selfactualization. To facilitate in the accomplishment of selfesteem, the unit managers must be given the opportunity to develop an esprit de corps. To fulfill their autonomy needs, they should be given more opportunities for independent thought and action, increased authority in their positions, an opportunity to participate in goal setting, and the determination of methods and procedures. To assist in the fulfillment of self-actualization they should be given opportunity for growth and development, a feeling of self-fulfillment, and a feeling of accomplishment. Hospitals must offer opportunities to satisfy these needs if they hope to retain the services of professional unit management.
