Abstract
|
|
|
The results described in this study represent a first comprehensive description of the psychological types among hospital executives in Korea. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator(MBTI), an instrument that assesses an individual's psychological
preferences
along extraversion/introversion, sensing/intuition, thinking/feeling, and judging/perceiving dimensions, was administered to a nationwide sample of active excutives of hospitals in Korea.
The psychological preferences among these affiliates are described and compared to those among American hospital executives resulted by previous research. Similar to what is observed in the general American business executives as well as in the
American
hospital executives, the most frequently occurring psychological type seen among health executives was thinking-judging.
Like their American counterparts, Korean hospital executives were observed to be more thinking and less feeling in their psychological orientation. However, these differences were statistically not significant. Although males showed a greater
propensity
for thinking and females a tendency toward feeling, these differences were not significant. Lastly, the managers working in hospitals tended to favor sensing over intution. Though executives working in not-for-profit hospitals revealed a relative
greater tendency toward feeling than those in for-profit hospitals, these differences were not significant.
