title: Autonomy and satisfaction among mammographers.
abstract: This article reports results of a study assessing the relationship between decision autonomy and task satisfaction in Texas mammographers. As hypothesized, the results indicate a positive correlation between autonomy and satisfaction. The authors also found that no independent variable (age, years of experience, employment status, position or type of imaging facility) had predictive value for mammographers' autonomy and task satisfaction.
