Abstract
Job satisfaction is a measure to gauge the performance of an individual at
the work place. Doctor’s profession is considered as one of the most
attractive professions in Pakistani society, but doctors are increasingly
getting dissatisfied with their jobs. The study was carried out to find out
the role of demographic factors; including; age, duration of marriage,
family system, number, ages and education of children, duration of job
and working hours, level of PG trainee, spouse’s profession and working
hours, , number of hospital on duty, monthly and family income, night
shift workload, helpers for household work, and dependents to take care
of for household work. The aim was to investigate the extent these factors
tend to affect the job satisfaction of these trainees. The sample comprised
of (N=95) married female post graduate trainees of gynae, recruited from
public and private sector hospitals of Lahore, Pakistan. Assessment
measures included a self-developed Demographic questionnaire and
Work Satisfaction Scale by Bovier and Perneger (2003). The findings
showed that most gynecologists appeared to be satisfied with their job,
particularly in the domain of patient care. However, they appeared to be
less satisfied with their present work load. Trainees with more day shifts
and lesser night shift duties appeared to be more satisfied with their job,
but they did not differ in job satisfaction on the basis of family system
and level of PG training. Identification of the relative contribution of
demographic factors in determining job satisfaction can facilitate the
provision of psychological counseling for female gynecologists who are
struggling to maintain satisfaction with their job.
