Popis: The prediction of job performance is a complex process that has received little attention. Results of this exploratory analysis of newly employed nurses indicate that different variables affected different types of performance. The amount of experience was the best predictor of critical care skills, but the amount of education best distinguished top and medium performers from poor performers. Career commitment, continuing education, job satisfaction and feedback were also determinants of job performance. Short staffing and the illness level of the patients affected the nurses' performance. The results also point to the importance of the leadership skills of the head nurse.
