The present study investigated the relationship between coping skills and job satisfaction among Japanese full-time occupational physicians (OPs).
In 2000 we mailed self-administered questionnaires to 716 full-time OPs who were members of "Sanyu-kai", the only Japanese association of full-time OPs. The questionnaires included age, gender, marital status, main type of company's work, the number of full-time OPs, the number of employees, working years as an OP, tenure in the present company, job stress, and coping skills question. The coping skills questions consisted of 11 items which were decided after discussion among several experienced full-time OPs. In total, 351 (49%) of the OPs returned suitable questionnaires for analyses.
Considering age, gender, marital status, and coping skills, multiple regression analysis (stepwise method) found that age, simplification of work, obvious roles for staff, consultations, and communication in the community and company were factors which contributed significantly to job satisfaction. Structural equation modeling showed that age and coping skills such as work system improvements, consultations, and communication in the community and company influenced job satisfaction.
Our results indicated that the age and coping skills influenced job satisfaction among full-time OPs. Our results are also considered to support the training of OPs in the future.
本研究旨在探讨日本全职职业医生（OP）的应对技能与工作满意度之间的关系。
2000 年，我们向“三友会”（日本唯一的全职 OP 协会）的 716 名全职 OP 邮寄了自填式问卷。问卷包括年龄、性别、婚姻状况、公司主要工作类型、全职 OP 人数、员工人数、OP 工作年限、现公司服务年限、工作压力和应对技能问题。应对技能问题由 11 个项目组成，是在几位有经验的全职 OP 讨论后决定的。共有 351 名（49%）OP 回复了适合分析的问卷。
考虑到年龄、性别、婚姻状况和应对技能，多元回归分析（逐步法）发现，年龄、工作简化、员工角色明显、咨询、社区和公司内的沟通是对工作满意度有显著贡献的因素。结构方程模型显示，年龄和应对技能，如工作系统改进、咨询、社区和公司内的沟通，影响工作满意度。
我们的结果表明，年龄和应对技能影响全职 OP 的工作满意度。我们的结果也被认为支持未来对 OP 的培训。
