To investigate attitudes, priorities, and behaviors of ophthalmologists in salary negotiations.
Cross-sectional study.
A Qualtrics survey was disseminated to U.S.-based practicing ophthalmologists between November 1, 2021 and March 31, 2022 and assessed attitudes, behaviors, and priorities surrounding salary negotiation during the respondents' first negotiation as a practicing physician and currently. Optional case-based scenarios were also included.
Of 424 respondents, 155 (36.5%) identified as male (M) and 269 (63.3%) identified as female (F). Men were more likely to negotiate salary for their first position as an independent ophthalmologist (M 78.3%, F 68.2%; P = .04). Respondents of both genders assessed their success similarly; 85.0% of men and 75.7% of women (P = .07) felt that their negotiation was very successful or somewhat successful. Women were more likely to select "flexibility in clinic/OR schedule for personal commitments" as a priority during salary negation for their first position (M 14.8%, F 23.1%; P = .04). Women ophthalmologists reported feeling more uncomfortable (M 36.1%, F 49.1%; P = .01), intimidated (M 20.0%, F 43.5%; P < .01), and were less likely to feel well-trained (M 24.5%, F 13.0%; P < .01). Most respondents never received formal training in negotiation.
We found significant gender differences among ophthalmologists in attitudes, priorities and behaviors surrounding salary negotiation. There were low reported levels of formal negotiation training, which appears to disadvantage women more than men. These gender disparities suggest that incorporating education about negotiation skills and career development early in training may be impactful.
调查眼科医生在薪资谈判中的态度、优先事项和行为。
横断面研究。
2021年11月1日至2022年3月31日期间，向美国执业眼科医生发放了一份Qualtrics调查问卷，评估受访者作为执业医师首次谈判及当前谈判期间围绕薪资谈判的态度、行为和优先事项。还包括可选的基于案例的情景。
在424名受访者中，155名（36.5%）为男性，269名（63.3%）为女性。男性作为独立眼科医生首次求职时更有可能就薪资进行谈判（男性78.3%，女性68.2%；P = 0.04）。男女受访者对自己谈判成功程度的评估相似；85.0%的男性和75.7%的女性（P = 0.07）认为他们的谈判非常成功或有些成功。女性在首次求职薪资谈判期间更有可能将“根据个人事务灵活安排门诊/手术室工作时间表”列为优先事项（男性14.8%，女性23.1%；P = 0.04）。女性眼科医生表示感觉更不舒服（男性36.1%，女性49.1%；P = 0.01）、受到恐吓（男性20.0%，女性43.5%；P < 0.01），并且感觉自己未得到充分培训的可能性更小（男性24.5%，女性13.0%；P < 0.01）。大多数受访者从未接受过谈判方面的正规培训。
我们发现眼科医生在薪资谈判的态度、优先事项和行为方面存在显著的性别差异。报告显示正规谈判培训水平较低，这似乎对女性的不利影响大于男性。这些性别差异表明，在培训早期纳入谈判技巧和职业发展教育可能会有成效。
