本研究目的主要探討護理人員實際感受與期望工作相關灌能之差異。研究工具採相對應性灌能量表測量工作相關灌難。研究對象來自兩家教學醫院護理人員，採分層隨機抽樣，總樣本數為 374 位。以平均值、皮爾森積差相關、t 檢定、配對 t 檢定、單因子變異分析以及薛費氏事後比較等方法進行統計分析。研究結果顯示：（ 1 ）護理人員實際感受工作相關灌能在中等程度（ M=9.37，SD=1.67 ），期望工作相關灌能總平均值為 12.07(SD=1.28)；（ 2 ）護理人員實際感受與期望工作相關灌能達顯著性差異，實際感受工作相關灌能平均值比期望為低；（ 3 ）護理人員之婚姻、職稱、教育程度、專業職等、參與各層面小組等基本屬性不同，其實際感受工作相關灌能呈現顯著性差異；而年齡、醫院年資、單位年資與實際感受工作相關灌能有顯著性相關；（ 4 ）護理人員之職稱、部層面小組、醫院別等屬性不同，其期望工作相關灌能有顯著性差異。本研究結果建議未來研究方向，並提供護理教育課程設計及行政管理之參考。

　　　　　The purpose of this study was to explore the job-related empowermentperceived and expected by staff nurses and the relationship between theperceived job-related empowerment and that expected. The Reciprocal EmpowermentScale was used to assess the level of job-related empowerment. The sample forthis study consisted of 374 staff nurses from two teaching hospitals usingstratified random sampling. The statistical methods used were based on thearithmetic mean, Pearson product-moment correlation, independent t test, pairedt test and one-way ANOVA/Scheffe's method, The results of this study were asfollows: (1) The mean(SD) of the perceived job-related empowerment of nurses wasin the moderate range (M=9.37,SD=1.67) and that of the expected one was 12.07(SD=1.28); (2) There was a significant difference between the perceivedjob-related empowerment and the expected. The perceived job-related empowermentwas significantly lower than the expected empowerment; (3) The perceivedjob-related empowerment of nurses was significantly related to their demographicvariables, such as marital status, their positions, clinical ladder levels, unitteams, division teams and department teams. It was positively related to theirage, working years in the unit, and working years in the hospital; and (4) Theexpected job-related empowerment of nurses was significantly related to theirdemographic variables, such as their positions, department teams, hospitals theywere working for. The results of this study have provided importantimplications for nursing administration, and nursing education, as well asdirections for future studies.
