Exploring Antecedents of Intrinsic Versus Extrinsic Satisfaction in a Sample of Emergency Medical Service Professionals

Controlling first for the impact of prior intrinsic and extrinsic satisfaction, this study tested the impact of personal, job perception, work attitude, and intent to leave variables on subsequent intrinsic and extrinsic satisfaction for a sample of 292 Emergency Medical Service professionals. This sample was found to be representative of a much larger incomplete data group. In the final regression models, prior intrinsic (extrinsic) satisfaction was the dominant antecedent of subsequent intrinsic (extrinsic) satisfaction. Continuing education instructor quality was a significant antecedent across both types of subsequent satisfaction. Study results are integrated with research on the “healthy work organization.”
