Doctors' job satisfaction is crucial to the health service to ensure commitment, effective training, service provision, and retention. Job satisfaction matters to doctors for their happiness, fulfilment, service to patients, and duty to employers. The quality of performance in the health sector to a large extent depends on whether healthcare providers are job-satisfied or dissatisfied.
This study assessed the level and factors determining job satisfaction among resident doctors in a federal tertiary institution.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among the resident doctors of a government tertiary care hospital. Data were collected using a self-reported questionnaire consisting of 49 items under seven domains of job satisfaction, where higher values indicated a higher level of satisfaction. The average scores of items were computed to construct factor scores for each individual. A Chi-square test was applied.
The proportion of job satisfaction among resident doctors was found to be 80.9%. On adjustment, the odds of being satisfied were found to be higher in the older age groups, among males, and doctors posted in clinical departments.
Most respondents in this study were satisfied with their jobs with minorities satisfied with their monetary and infrastructure facilities. There is a need to address these issues to enhance healthcare quality, especially in the public sector.
医生的工作满意度对于医疗服务至关重要，可确保其敬业度、有效培训、服务提供及留任。工作满意度对医生的幸福、成就感、为患者提供服务以及对雇主的责任都很重要。医疗部门的绩效质量在很大程度上取决于医疗服务提供者工作是否满意。
本研究评估了一所联邦三级医疗机构中住院医生的工作满意度水平及决定因素。
对一家政府三级护理医院的住院医生进行了横断面研究。使用一份自我报告问卷收集数据，该问卷包含工作满意度七个领域下的49个项目，分数越高表明满意度越高。计算各项目的平均得分以构建每个个体的因子得分。应用卡方检验。
发现住院医生的工作满意度比例为80.9%。调整后发现，年龄较大的人群、男性以及在临床科室工作的医生满意度较高。
本研究中的大多数受访者对工作感到满意，少数人对金钱和基础设施设施感到满意。有必要解决这些问题以提高医疗质量，特别是在公共部门。
