Sažetak
Aim. To explore the possible differences in job satisfaction among family doctors and hospital specialists. Design and methods. The survey was carried out in 2005 and 2006 among family doctors and hospital specialists in Split, Croatia. A validated questionnaire was composed of two parts: 92 statements and questions about job satisfaction in the form of the Lickert scale (range 1-5) and eight questions concerning demographic issues. The questionnaire was completed and returned by 165 hospital specialist from University Hospital of Split and by 155 family doctors from the Split County. Response rate for family doctors was 47.29% and 41.46% for hospital specialists. Hospital doctors were split into two groups: specialists of internal medicine and surgeons. Statistical values were considered significant at P<0.05 level. Results. There were no significant difference between family doctors and hospital specialists in total job satisfaction (F=1.02 ; P=0.41). Family doctors were more satisfied with their workplace conditions than specialists in the various branches of internal medicine (19.37± 4.23 vs. 17.37± 4.59 ; F=5.93 ; P=0.003 and less satisfied with the possibilities for postgraduate training compared to surgeons (5.27± 1.90 vs. 6.59± 2.07 ; F=9.26 ; P<0.001). Conclusion. There were no significant differences between the various specialties in total job satisfaction but there were differences in some factors like opportunity for further education, salary, working hours and annual live. The reason for the family doctors satisfaction with their workplaces according to this survey may be due to stable conditions, independence in organizing schedule and personal responsibility for the job.
