Type Needs Satisfaction Questionnaire, and its relationship with overall satisfaction, and with intention to turnover, among three age groups of female care workers at nursing home settings. Based on prior research and theory, the female life cycle was grouped into three stages, young, middle, and old. The survey questionnaires were administered to a sample drawn from 2,350 workers in 51 geriatric care facilities located in Hyogo prefecture in 2001. For this study, 701 female nursing home care workers were chosen from the total sample. The final sample available for the analysis was 550. Tested were differences in the three age groups in the six dimensions of job satisfaction, kinds of predictors for total job satisfaction, and predictors of intention to leave the job. The findings confirmed results of some prior studies, showing a significant positive relationship between age and overall job satisfaction and of the six dimensions of job satisfaction. Especially, the middle-aged group showed a different pattern from the two other age groups. Application of the findings was discussed, especially for training needs in nursing homes that account for life cycle stage differences for women.
