title: Staff nurses: role perception and role performance.
abstract: The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between role perception and role-performance. A sample of three hundred Staff Nurses was drawn from a Central Government hospital of Delhi. To assess role perception and role performance, a role perception questionnaire and a role performance inventory were administered respectively to each subject individually. The results indicated that inner-directed role perception had a negative relationship with role performance. Other directed role perception had a significant positive relationship with role performance. To achieve job success, Staff Nurses seemingly can concentrate on other directed role perception.
