Job satisfaction affects organizational outcomes including performance and retention. The pharmacy job satisfaction literature points to several predictors of job satisfaction, but educational debt and various work settings have not been previously examined.
To identify predictors of Virginia pharmacists' job satisfaction.
This cross-sectional study used data from the 2018 Virginia Pharmacist Workforce Survey. Of 15,424 registered pharmacists, 13,962 (90.5%) completed the survey. Pharmacists who reported being employed and working in Virginia in the previous year (2017) were included in the analysis ( = 6042). Data were summarized using descriptive statistics. Multiple logistic regression identified predictors of job satisfaction.
Respondents were primarily female (66.3%), Pharm.D. degree holders (65.5%), with a 14.8-year average work experience. Most pharmacists (86%) reported being very/somewhat satisfied with their job. Educational debt was not significantly associated with job satisfaction. Significant predictors of job satisfaction included: being female (aOR = 1.28, 95% CI 1.08, 1.52); working <30 (aOR = 1.80, 95% CI 1.14, 2.84), 30-39 (aOR = 1.47, 95% CI 1.02, 2.11), or 40-49 (aOR = 1.42, 95% CI 1.02, 1.98) versus ≥50 h per week; earning an annual income of <$50,000 (aOR = 0.60, 95% CI 0.38, 0.94) or ≥ $150,000 (aOR = 2.05, 95% CI 1.30, 3.23) versus $100,000-$149,999; working in an independent community pharmacy (aOR = 3.72, 95% CI 2.54, 5.44), health system (aOR = 3.81, 95% CI 2.78, 5.22), clinic-based pharmacy (aOR = 4.39, 95% CI 2.18, 8.83), academia (aOR = 5.20, 95% CI 1.97, 13.73), benefits administration (aOR = 3.64, 95% CI 1.71, 7.74), long-term home and home health/infusion (aOR = 1.71, 95% CI 1.10, 2.67), mass merchandiser community (aOR = 0.79, 95% CI 0.62, 0.99), or manufacturer and wholesale distributor (aOR = 3.46, 95% CI 1.97, 6.08) versus chain community pharmacy.
Overall, Virginia pharmacists reported high job satisfaction. Pharmacists working in chain community pharmacy reported lower satisfaction relative to other settings. Being female, having a high annual income, and working for less hours was associated with improved job satisfaction.
工作满意度会影响包括绩效和留任率在内的组织成果。药学工作满意度文献指出了几个工作满意度的预测因素,但教育债务和各种工作环境此前尚未得到研究。
确定弗吉尼亚州药剂师工作满意度的预测因素。
这项横断面研究使用了2018年弗吉尼亚州药剂师劳动力调查的数据。在15424名注册药剂师中,13962名(90.5%)完成了调查。分析纳入了报告上一年(2017年)在弗吉尼亚州受雇并工作的药剂师(n = 6042)。数据使用描述性统计进行汇总。多元逻辑回归确定了工作满意度的预测因素。
受访者主要为女性(66.3%),拥有药学博士学位(65.5%),平均工作经验为14.8年。大多数药剂师(86%)报告对自己的工作非常/有些满意。教育债务与工作满意度无显著关联。工作满意度的显著预测因素包括:女性(调整后比值比[aOR]=1.28,95%置信区间[CI]1.08,1.52);每周工作<30小时(aOR = 1.80,95% CI 1.14,2.84)、30 - 39小时(aOR = 1.47,95% CI 1.02,2.11)或40 - 49小时(aOR = 1.42,95% CI 1.02,1.98),相比≥50小时;年收入<$50000(aOR = 0.60,95% CI 0.38,0.94)或≥$150000(aOR = 2.05,95% CI 1.30,3.23),相比$100000 - $149999;在独立社区药房工作(aOR = 3.72,95% CI 2.54,5.44)、医疗系统(aOR = 3.81,95% CI 2.78,5.22)、诊所药房(aOR = 4.39,95% CI 2.18,8.83)、学术界(aOR = 5.2
