ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Investigation is scare on job satisfaction among general practitioners (GPs) in China. This study aimed to investigate job satisfaction of GPs in China and explore its determinants.METHODS:
A multistage-stratified random sampling method was used to collect data with a structured self-administered questionnaire from 3236 GPs (response rate, 99.8%) working in community health institutions in China between October 2017 and February 2018. Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis was used to analyze the associated factors with job satisfaction among GPs.RESULTS:
Among these respondents, 1215 (37.5%), 352 (10.9%), and 1669 (51.6%) GPs were dissatisfied, moderate, and satisfied for their current job, respectively. Male GPs, a higher education level, at a higher professional title, at a lower level of income, and those with heavy work stress had a lower job satisfaction. In addition, GPs who often worked overtime, who were at a higher level of emotional exhaustion, at a higher level of depersonalization, at a lower level of personal accomplishment, and who had less occupational development opportunities reported a lower level of job satisfaction.CONCLUSION:
These findings suggest that job satisfaction among Chinese GPs is at a moderate level. Region, sex, professional title, education level, working overtime, income level, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, personal accomplishment, work stress, and occupational development opportunities were significant predictors of job satisfaction.Palavras-chave
