title: Effect of "mood that day" on pharmacists' job and career satisfaction.
abstract: We speculated that mood would affect responses to global measures of job and career satisfaction. We randomly selected 692 pharmacists from the Iowa Board of Pharmacy Examiners' mailing list. After two follow-up mailings, 389 questionnaires were received for a usable rate of 56.9%. "Good day" pharmacists were more satisfied with their jobs and careers than "typical day" pharmacists, supporting the contention that global satisfaction indicators reflect affective satisfaction.
