A survey of physicians in a large group practice.
Job satisfaction surveys among physicians, a recent phenomenon, are a very important managerial tool to determine the work motivation needs of physician-employees. The first MD Job Survey was done in 1984 by Lichtenstein on physicians employed by prisons. The largest survey of salaried physicians to date has been the 1987 Health Services Research Center of Chapel Hill survey of physicians employed in group practices. Currently, individual group practices are surveying their staffs with job satisfaction questions in order to enhance the work environment.
