ABSTRACT
METHODOLOGY:
The research instrument was a questionnaire comprising of eighteen questions which focused on questions prompted by the literature which may be considered to indicate a fear of success. Fear of success (positive indicators) was considered to be present if answers to those questions indicated a tendancy for the "feelings' exerienced regardingconsequences of the success to be negative or there was no evidence of non-acceptance of professional mobility and success. A coded questionnaire comprising eighteen questions was administered to a sample of seventy nurses who had specialized or held managerial/teaching positions within the hospital. MAJORFINDINGS:
