The data have been processed using Window win program-SPSS/PC+ version 18.0 and Amos 7.0. First, basic statistics such as skewness, kurtosis, mean, standard deviation, correlation have been derived and exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's ?\) have been calculated to verify validity and reliability of three kinds of questionnaire. Frequency and descriptive statics have been performed to classify subjects. Also, T-test and one-way-ANOVA have been performed to verify the differences between work environment, social support, professional identity depending on demographic features and structural equation modeling has been used to verify the study hypothesis.
