We examined factors that influence the decision to join the public health workforce. In this cross-sectional study, we used 2010 secondary data representing 6939 public health workers. Factors influencing the decision to take jobs in public health were significantly associated with specific previous employment settings. Respondents generally rated organizational factors as more influential than personal factors in terms of their decision to work in governmental public health. Leaders should consider tailoring recruitment efforts to maximize job uptake and enhance the potential for long-term retention.
我们研究了影响加入公共卫生工作队伍这一决定的因素。在这项横断面研究中，我们使用了2010年代表6939名公共卫生工作者的二手数据。影响从事公共卫生工作决定的因素与之前特定的就业环境显著相关。在决定是否在政府公共卫生部门工作方面，受访者普遍认为组织因素比个人因素更具影响力。领导者应考虑调整招聘策略，以最大限度地提高岗位吸引力并增强长期留用的可能性。
