Again, the question to ask yourself here is how important each one of
these elements is to you, especially within the framework of some of
the other considerations we’ll look at next. For now, think about these
questions and note your responses:
• Autonomy. Do I need to have a high level of control over my work and
how I do it in order to be happy with my job, my boss, and my work
environment?
• Mastery. Do I need to be able to grow in my job by learning and
mastering new things on a regular basis, whether that’s new
technology, a new system, a new nursing skill, or something else?
• Purpose. Do I need to know that the work that I do contributes to the
greater good of an individual, a community, or worthwhile cause? And
are each of these types of “greater good” of equal importance within
my value system, or does one outweigh the others?
