Questionnaires were submitted to 400 nurses and of which 386 were completed, resulting in a response rate of 96.5%. A sample of this size ensured the validity and reliability of the results. The data were analyzed using statistical analysis and techniques such as frequencies, means and path analysis using computer software SPSS for Windows 15.0 and LISREL 8.72. The results demonstrate （1） a significant, direct, and positive effect of personality on physical self-description; （2） a significant, direct, and negative effect of physical self-description on social physique anxiety; and （3） an indirect negative effect of personality on social physique anxiety through physical self-description. All paths in the model were significant （p 〈 0.05）. Analysis using linear structural relational model （LISREL） demonstrated the suitability of the framework and proved that the model used was applicable for this research. The results of this research will be used as a reference to develop strategies for human resource management in Taiwan Residents hospitals.展开更多
