Abstract
Back ground: Job satisfaction is the affective orientation that an employee has towards his work. Greater physician satisfaction is associated with greater patient adherence and satisfaction. Aim: this study aimed at assessing the level of job satisfaction among PHC physicians in new Cairo district, and to assess the potential factors affecting job satisfaction among them, also to measure the work related affective wellbeing among them. Subjects and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional epidemiological approach was adopted using two interview questionnaires; Job satisfaction survey (JSS) and Job-related affective well-being scale JAWS. Results: Job dissatisfaction was highly encountered where 47.6% of physicians were dissatisfied. Pay, fringe benefits and contingent rewards were the most frequently encountered domains with which physicians were dissatisfied. Married physicians had higher JSS compared to single physicians and those with years of experience 5-15 had lower JSS score compared to physicians with lower years of experience. Also JAWS score was a significant independent variable affecting JSS score. The affective well-being score ranged from 34 to 89 with mean ± 59.3, with SD7.5, and it was affected by age, with no significant effect of other demographic characteristics. Conclusion: It is highly recommended to improve working conditions, payment and provision of better opportunities for promotion among PHC physicians to subsequently improve physicians’ subjective wellbeing and their job satisfaction which in turn will improve their performance.
