| description | Sait Revda Dinibutun College of Business Administration, HRM Department, American University of the Middle East, Kuwait City, KuwaitCorrespondence: Sait Revda Dinibutun, College of Business Administration, HRM Department, American University of the Middle East, Block 6, Building 1, Egaila, Kuwait City, Kuwait, Tel +965 2225 1400, Fax +965 2654 8484, Email sait.revda@aum.edu.kwPurpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze the impact of physicians’ burnout levels on their job satisfaction, the factors related with burnout and job satisfaction, and to see whether there is a difference between public and private hospital physicians.Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was adopted and conducted on 160 physicians in Aydin/Turkey. Personal Information Form, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale were used. Independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and correlation analysis were conducted.Results: A negative relationship between burnout and job satisfaction among physicians was determined. Female private hospital physicians have significantly higher levels of burnout compared to male physicians. Married public hospital physicians’ job satisfaction is significantly higher than single physicians. Public hospital physicians have significantly higher levels of burnout compared to private hospital physicians, as well as a significant lower level of job satisfaction.Conclusion: The physicians have high burnout and low satisfaction levels. For this reason, burnout levels of the physicians should be determined and measures should be taken to reduce it. A possible reason of female physicians having higher levels of burnout in private hospital could be the result of the unique, demanding organizational factors, culture, climate and expectations, including work-life balance issues on working women. An important finding of the study showed that public hospital physicians have higher burnout levels and lower job satisfaction levels than private hospital physicians, largely attributed to the demanding workload and the burdensome bureaucratic processes they must navigate.Keywords: healthcare professionals, burnout, job satisfaction, public hospital, private hospital, comparative analysis |
