Abstract

Background:Job satisfaction refers to a sum of all positive and/or negative feelings that an individual holds towards his or her job. Employees who are more satisfied with their job will usually have more attendance, are more worthy and they are satisfied with their lives. Objective: To determine job satisfaction level among health care providers working in Gadag Institute of Medical Sciences, Gadag Government Hospital.

Doctors, nurses, pharmacist and lab technicians who were willing to participate and present during the study period were included. Using 5 point Likerts scale, their job satisfaction level was assessed using job satisfaction scale developed by Pawan Kumar and Khan AM for Government Hospitals.

Highest job satisfactionwas seen in pharmacist(3.2) and least job satisfaction with doctors (2.72). Among different domains, organizational facility is with least score and interpersonal relation and cooperation with highest score. Conclusion:From this study we conclude that permanent and contract basis job hardly makes any difference in job satisfaction. Inter-personal relation and cooperation domain is the most important for job satisfaction. Doctors are the least satisfied with their job. Hence a study in detail to determine the factors relating to that and how we can improve them has to be done.
