Abstract

PURPOSE
In this study, differences and relationship between teaching style, personality, job stress, and job satisfaction among preceptors were examined.
METHODS
The participants were 121 preceptors. Data were collected in November and December 2010 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, and Pearson correlation coefficients.
RESULTS
The most frequent teaching style was judgement-initiative, and personality scores were highest for conscientiousness. Job stress was average (3.05+/-.59), and job satisfaction was below the mid-point level (2.76+/-.39). Job stress and job satisfaction were significantly different according to teaching style. Significant correlations were found between personality and job stress, and personality and job satisfaction.
CONCLUSIONS
These findings indicate that changes in perceived teaching style, and personality may be necessary to decrease job stress, and to promote job satisfaction among preceptors. The results of this study should be considered in the development of effective preceptor training programs.
