Figure 1.

Path model of job satisfaction, future intentions and nursing at 18 months and 3 years. Odds Ratios are shown against each path between an exogenous (independent) and an endogenous (dependent) variable. LN denotes the likelihood of nursing (at a time-point in the future). Only those job satisfaction factors that are statistically significant are shown in the diagram and odds ratios are presented for the bottom (1 = very unsatisfied) and top (5 = very satisfied) of the 5 point scale.
