Job satisfaction is "personal satisfaction relative to the work situation".[1] About 71% of Americans are satisfied with their jobs.[2]

Companies with with high job satisfaction have higher earnings.[3]

Physicians

Measuring physician satisfaction

The SGIM Career Satisfaction Study Group (CSSG) has used literature review and focus groups to develop[4] and refine[5] the Physician Worklife Survey to measure satisfaction and its antecedents. Its scales are:

  • Autonomy
  • Relationships with colleagues
  • Patient care issues (originally labeled relationships with patients)
  • Relationships with staff
  • Personal time
  • Relationships with patients (originally labelled 'intrinsic')
  • Community
  • Pay
  • Administration
  • Resources

Other surveys have been developed[6][7][8][9] including:

  • AAFP TransforMED PCMH National Demonstration Project.[6]

Key factors contributing to well-being have been isolated using factor analysis.[5][10]

Studies of physician satisfaction

Several multisite studies have measured job satisfaction:

  • ACP-MEMO (Minimizing Error, Maximizing Outcome)[11][12]
  • AMA-RAND, 20143[13][14]
  • California community clinics and health centers, 2016[10]
  • Multi-state Commonwealth PCMH study, 2012[15][16]. Included questions from the ACP-MEMO study
  • SGIM Worklife and Wellness, 2016[17]
