Objective: An investigation of job satisfaction among physicians could conceivably serve to document major issues and aid in devising appropriate solutions for this important workforce. Areas of interest, authority and obligation of physicians differ depending on their association and working places. The aim of this study was to attempt to establish job satisfaction levels of physicians from three different centers in Kırıkkale (Hospital of Kırıkkale University Medical School, Kırıkkale Hospital of Social Insurance Institution and Kırıkkale State Hospital of Ministry of Health) and, in so doing, to detect the main factors of dissatisfaction, and finally, to suggest appropriate solutions.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study involved physicians working in the three mentioned centers. An assessed validity Job Satisfaction Scale, translated from German into Turkish by members of the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Science and Art of Ege University, Turkey, and consisting of 10 categories, was used in this study. General job satisfaction, as defined by its main components and a variety of interacting socio-demographic characteristics, was investigated.
Results: The Mean General Job Satisfaction Score (MGJSS) of all physicians from the three centers was 172.51±39.12. There were statistically significant differences between the MGJSS of physicians working in the different centers. University hospital physicians had the highest scores. There was, however, no significant difference between the physicians of state hospital physicians and those employed at the social insurance hospital, which had similar characteristics. None of the physicians from any of the centers attained the maximum score. Categories exhibiting a strong relationship with MGJSS in each of these three institutions were “organisational culture’’ and “loyalty and trust to institution”. Improvement in these categories may contribute to a lessening of job dissatisfaction.
Conclusion: A number of specific measures can and should be undertaken to improve factors which negatively affect physician job satisfaction.Keywords: Job satisfaction, physiciansTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2004, 24:219-229
