Pharmacists play an important role in the system of medical care, yet for a long period of time, the government has failed to effectively and thoroughly enforce the established policy "Separation of Medicine and Pharmacy". Traditionally, medical resources in Taiwan have long been in control of the medical circles, which results in disregard for pharmacists' duty and status. In the system of medical care, pharmacists are regarded as inferior, while in the whole link of medical care, pharmacists play a crucial role in treatment and health of patients. Job satisfaction of doctors and nurses is commonly the focus of research in numbers of literature reviews; on the contrary, pharmacists are rarely taken as the subjects of research. Therefore, job satisfaction of pharmacists is worth investigating. According to the characteristics of their work, pharmacists are generally classified into five types--hospital pharmacists, clinic pharmacists, drug store pharmacists, pharmaceutical pharmacists, and marketing pharmacists. This study mainly makes an induction of the data deriving from questionnaires to pharmacists in Kaohsiung to survey job satisfaction in terms of the seven aspects--Personal Factor, Work Condition, Organization System, Pay Welfare, Coworker Relationship, Work Environment, and In-service Study. Based on the data collected, this study aims to explore the overall job satisfaction of pharmacists and the differences in their job satisfaction and needs among the five work types of pharmacists. The influential factors behind the differences are investigated as well. The study functions as a reference for new pharmacists in choosing their work types. In addition, the study offers referential information to hospitals, clinics, pharmacy industries, cosmetics manufacturers, medicine marketing corporations, community pharmacy conductors, and even health authorities. Through the study, those related get a better understanding of pharmacists' job satisfaction and needs to improve management, and then promote pharmacists' work quality. The major findings are as follows: 1. The overall job satisfaction of pharmacists is between average and satisfaction. In the seven aspects of job satisfaction, "Coworker Relationship" stands the highest with "Personal Factor" following. The two aspects that indicate the lowest satisfaction are "Organization System", and "Pay Welfare". 2. There is no significant difference in overall job satisfaction among pharmacists of the five work types. With a further analysis, the differences in job satisfaction are mainly detected in the two aspects of "Pay Welfare", and "Work Environment". The satisfaction of clinic pharmacists is significantly higher than that of hospital pharmacists and marketing pharmacists in the aspect of "Pay Welfare". 3. As to the correlation between individual variations and job satisfaction, such variations as gender, marriage and study plan cause no significant differences in each aspect of job satisfaction. However, other variations--age, education, work year, pay, full/part time, work hour, and post result in significant differences in some items of questionnaires regarding job satisfaction.

This dissertation consists of two essays. The first essay draws on psychology theories to propose a framework for incorporating personality variables into the study of performance control systems. The second essay reports an experiment to highlight the implications of one component of this framework: the efficacy of exogenously assigned performance control systems can depend on the personality types of employees who are subject to these systems. / text

For the study the Keirsey Bates Temperament Sorter was completed by 602 pharmacy students during their study period at the University of the Western Cape. The results showed that the pharmacy students had a tendency towards the Extraversion, Sensing, Feeling and Judging Personality Type Preferences. Personality Temperaments of the pharmacy students were also compared with the general population and it was found that there were statistically significant more students with the SJ Personality Temperaments and statistically significant less students with the SP Personality Temperaments in the pharmacy population than in the general population. This study very clearly points out the value of using the Keirsey Bates Temperament Sorter as an aid, not only in guiding the student in the process of career choice, but also facilitating the placing of the newly qualified pharmacist in his or her choice of practice setting.

The only attempt at a systematic analysis and classification of Irish accentual verse -metres available to scholars remains that of Prof. Tadhg 6 Donnchadha ('T?rna') , the most recent editions of whose work are half a century old. The present thesis represents a second attempt at the same task, taking into account the contributions of Irish scholars and editors since 6 Donnchadha's time as well as those of more recent metrical scholarship generally. Following a survey of 6 Donnchadha's work and an assessment of its influence upon later editorial practice, an attempt is made to summarise the various schools of metrical scholarship which have emerged in the context of English poetry, with the aim of discovering what principles, if any, might be useful in the construction of a metrical theory for Irish accentual verse. This examination of foreign metrical models is justified on the grounds of the rhythmical similarity between English and Irish, both of which may be described as strongly 'stress -timed' languages. Linguistic phenomena are, indeed, central to the choice of an appropriate theoretical model, and Ch. 3 is devoted to a phenomenologically -based discussion of the role of rhythm in spoken Irish and its implications for verse -structure. Chapters 4 through 10 represent the central part of the thesis and are given over to a taxonomical survey of Irish verse -types, in which the principal criterion for inclusion in a given category is the number of stressed syllables in a line. Chapter 11 discusses the various stanzaic forms, both simple and complex, used by Irish poets, as well as certain supra -stanzaic organisational devices such as refrains and ceangal ver- ses. In this context also the form known as tri rann agus amhr?n, often likened to an Irish sonnet, is examined. The ornamentation of verse is the subject of the following chapter, with emphasis placed as much upon the position and function of ornament within the line /stanza as upon the character and linguistic significance of the types of ornament employed. A final chapter is devoted to discussion of the musical context of verse, with particular attention paid to the ways in which musical metre differs from verse -metre, and the implications of such differences for a system of versification primarily transmitted through a musical medium.
