- Abstract
Aim: This study is conducted to compare the job satisfaction of physicians working at military hospitals in Turkey and Azerbaijan, and determine physicians' job satisfaction by their sociodemographic characteristics. Materials and Methods: Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire was used to measure the job satisfaction of physicians. 550 questionnaires were distributed in Ankara Gulhane Military Medical Academy Hospital, but 470 were collected. 159 questionnaires of 161 questionnaires distributed in Baku Military Medical Academy Hospital were analyzed since 2 were incomplete. Results: The study showed that both countries' military physicians have “mild satisfaction”. Between the two countries, no significant differences were found in intrinsic, extrinsic, and overall job satisfaction levels of military physicians. Also, the results of Structural Equation Modeling showed that military physicians' job satisfaction levels changed by duration of work and specialty area (p<0.001); but gender, marital status, graduated medical school, number of calls for duty and number of patients examined were not significant predictors (p>0.05). Conclusions: This study may present valuable information for the management of military health systems in understanding the factors that lead to job dissatisfaction of military physicians and identifying groups with low job satisfaction levels.
