Hospital pharmacists in a Midwestern, metropolitan area were surveyed to determine levels of job satisfaction. Of the 195 pharmacists who received the 120-item questionnaire, 132 (68%) responded. The questionnaire included facet-free questions which reflect the overall satisfaction of an individual with his job. Results to these questions were compared to those for professional, managerial and nonprofessional workers in two University of Michigan Surveys of Working Conditions. Also included in the survey were facet-specific job satisfaction measures from the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire. The study found an overall pattern of less satisfaction among hospital pharmacists than among workers included in the Michigan surveys. The data indicate that hospital pharmacists might be less committed to their jobs and more likely to change jobs than other employees. Compared to other employees, hospital pharmacists showed a greater commitment to the work ethic and were more dissatisfied with their general life situation. The average general job satisfaction score of the respondents was 2.53, on a five-point scale, indicating something less than "satisfied". Pharmacists were least satisfied with the lack of opportunity for advancement, staffing practices, employer's policies and practices, and compensation practices. Compensation relative to others and amount of compensation were the sources of greatest satisfaction. Staff pharmacists had the lowest level of satisfaction; clinical pharmacists the highest--other personnel categories compared were directors, associate and assistant directors, and supervisors. The profession of pharmacy should decide whether or not to be concerned with the general low level of satisfaction among hospital pharmacists.
对中西部一个大都市地区的医院药剂师进行了调查，以确定他们的工作满意度水平。在195名收到120项问卷的药剂师中，有132人（68%）回复了问卷。问卷包括反映个人对其工作总体满意度的无特定方面的问题。这些问题的结果与密歇根大学两次工作条件调查中专业、管理和非专业员工的结果进行了比较。调查还包括明尼苏达工作满意度问卷中特定方面的工作满意度衡量指标。研究发现，医院药剂师的总体满意度低于密歇根调查中的员工。数据表明，与其他员工相比，医院药剂师可能对工作的投入度较低，更换工作的可能性更大。与其他员工相比，医院药剂师对职业道德的投入度更高，对他们的总体生活状况更不满意。受访者的平均总体工作满意度得分为2.53（满分5分），表明略低于“满意”。药剂师对晋升机会不足、人员配置做法、雇主政策和做法以及薪酬做法最不满意。相对于他人的薪酬和薪酬数额是最大的满意度来源。药剂师的满意度最低；临床药剂师的满意度最高——与之比较的其他人员类别包括主任、副主任和助理主任以及主管。药学专业应该决定是否关注医院药剂师普遍较低的满意度水平。
