This study sought to evaluate professional satisfaction among Italian radiologists and identify what personal characteristics of radiologists and features of their work and work setting affect job satisfaction.
Satisfaction was assessed by using Warr et al.'s 17-item Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS) in 206 radiologists, 108 radiotherapists and 34 specialists in infectious diseases used as controls.
Forty-nine per cent of diagnostic radiologists reported being satisfied with their jobs. The frequency is significantly lower than that found among radiotherapists (64%) and controls (62%). Middle-aged radiologists on lower rungs of the career ladder were more dissatisfied than were their older colleagues in top positions. Female radiologists were less satisfied than their male counterparts with regard to recognition for good work, amount of job variety and distribution of workloads. Stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that job satisfaction was especially affected by physical working conditions, freedom to choose one's own work method, relationship with one's immediate boss, attention paid to one's suggestions and the amount of job variety.
This pilot study identified the sources of professional satisfaction and dissatisfaction among radiologists. A future survey of a stratified random sample of Italian radiologists appears to be feasible.
本研究旨在评估意大利放射科医生的职业满意度，并确定哪些放射科医生的个人特征、工作特征和工作环境会影响工作满意度。
采用 Warr 等人的 17 项工作满意度量表（JSS）对 206 名放射科医生、108 名放射治疗师和 34 名传染病专家进行满意度评估，将后两者作为对照组。
49%的诊断放射科医生表示对自己的工作满意。这一频率明显低于放射治疗师（64%）和对照组（62%）。处于职业阶梯较低层次的中年放射科医生比处于高层的老年同事更不满意。在获得认可、工作多样性和工作量分配方面，女放射科医生比男放射科医生满意度低。逐步逻辑回归分析显示，工作满意度尤其受到工作条件、选择工作方法的自由、与直接上司的关系、对自己建议的重视程度和工作多样性的影响。
本初步研究确定了放射科医生职业满意度和不满的来源。对意大利放射科医生进行分层随机抽样调查似乎是可行的。
