Values of long-term care facility administrators.
This study compares values of long-term care (LTC) facility administrators to those of a national sample, representative of the general population. Values were measured using the Rokeach Value Survey, and some striking differences were found between administrators and the general population. These differences indicate a dichotomy in the values of LTC administrators; individuals with markedly different value orientations may make the same occupational choice to become a long-term care facility administrator.
