Description: Alienation in the form of self-estrangement was investigated using Stern's Organizational Climate Index (OCI). Multiple regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis that self-estrangement varies as a function of both risk-propensity and organizational climate. Eighty-three female nurse subjects employed in 6 acute care hospitals participated in the study. The proposed model received only partial support. Both control and development climate contributed to self-estrangement while risk-propensity did not. Implications of these findings were discussed.
