dc.description.abstract | <p>
Background: Job satisfaction has a major impact on mental health and job performance.<br />
Additionally, expected work satisfaction may influence choice of specialization within<br />
medicine.<br />
Methods: A postal survey was conducted in 2009 among the members (N=1398) of<br />
Finnish Psychiatric Association. Out of the members 1132 were still working-aged.<br />
All in all 64.8% (N=738) of the working-aged members returned the survey. Only<br />
psychiatrists and residents were included in the final cohort of the study (N=665).<br />
Factors associated to work satisfaction were studied and a principal component analysis<br />
was conducted on factors reported to disturb working. The correlations of factors<br />
scores with job satisfaction and job-control were analyzed. Spearman correlation<br />
coefficients were calculated between factor scores and work satisfaction.<br />
Results: Most respondents (73.8%) were satisfied with their work. Job satisfaction<br />
showed a negative correlation with increase in pace of work (rho=-0.24, p<0.001). Job<br />
control correlated positively with job satisfaction (rho=0.46, p<0.001). "Working<br />
conditions" factor explained 28.6%, "leadership" 8.8%, "failure without support" 7.8%,<br />
fear at work 6.5% and "patient records" factors 5.9% of the variation of perceived<br />
harmful factors at work. "Working conditions" and "leadership" factors showed the<br />
strongest and most significant negative correlations with job satisfaction (rho=<br />
-0.45, p<0.001, rho=-0.32, p<0.001, respectively. "Working conditions" associated<br />
strongly and significantly with job control (rho=-0.57, p<0.001).<br />
Conclusion: Job satisfaction may be better than expected among psychiatrists<br />
considering the findings of prevalence estimates of burnout in various other studies.<br />
However, employers should put emphasis on matching employers and type of work to<br />
promote well-being of their employees.</p> | |
