OBJECTIVE
This study investigated how professional development benefits offered by employers directly correlate to self-perceptions of leadership potential, committee involvement, and career satisfaction among physician assistants (PAs).
METHODS
A retrospective analysis of the 2015 AAPA National Survey and 2016 AAPA Salary Survey explored the associations between the aforementioned variables. Bivariate correlations were used to evaluate the associations between variables.
RESULTS
Self-perceived leadership attributes were found to be mildly and positively correlated with the number of committees a PA was involved in (P < .001; correlation coefficient (CC) = 0.245). Of the investigated factors, only leadership potential was significantly correlated with career satisfaction (P ≤ .001; CC = 0.059). The proportion of professional development fees, memberships, and expenses covered by employers had no bearing on career satisfaction (P = .438).
CONCLUSIONS
Irrespective of the benefits received, PAs were satisfied with their careers. Intrinsic rewards may have a greater positive association with career satisfaction than extrinsic benefits alone.
目的
本研究调查了雇主提供的职业发展福利如何直接关联到医师助理（PA）对领导潜力的自我认知、参与委员会情况及职业满意度。
方法
对2015年美国医师助理学会（AAPA）全国调查和2016年AAPA薪资调查进行回顾性分析，以探究上述变量之间的关联。采用双变量相关性分析来评估变量之间的关联。
结果
自我认知的领导特质与PA参与的委员会数量呈轻度正相关（P <.001；相关系数（CC）= 0.245）。在所有调查因素中，只有领导潜力与职业满意度显著相关（P≤.001；CC = 0.059）。雇主支付的职业发展费用、会员费和开支比例与职业满意度无关（P = 0.438）。
结论
无论获得何种福利，PA对其职业都感到满意。内在奖励可能比单纯的外在福利与职业满意度有更强的正相关。
