Psychological types of health administration students: suggestions for teaching, learning, and the future of the profession.
In this article, the configurations of psychological types that exist among a sample of 393 American graduate health administration students are analyzed. These data are compared to the psychological type characteristics of both university-level faculty and practicing health care administrators. Important insights can be derived from these comparisons in terms of teaching and learning in health administration programs, and they serve as a foundation for a coming transformation within the profession of health services administration.
