Abstract
In India major burden of delivering effective health services falls on the public sector. Currently in our country the public health system is resource limited and is under the pressure of high burden of disease. Healthcare system is a labour intensive sector1. Therefore, the importance of doctors in public sector in delivering effective health services cannot be over-emphasized. Doctors in central health services (CHS) are organized into the following main cadres: Public Health, Specialists-teaching and non teaching and General Duty Medical Officers (GDMO). GDMO’s are recruited via UPSC and the pre requisite qualification for them is graduation that is MBBS. However in the present scenario most of the doctors who are joining CHS as GDMO posses post graduate (PG) qualifications. This is advantageous for the government of India as GDMO’s with PG qualifications can be utilized as specialists thus improving the quality of patient care. An organization’s efficiency depends to a large extent on the morale of its employees2. Behavioural and social science research suggests that job satisfaction and job performance are positively correlated2. The phenomenon of job satisfaction has been inversely associated with absenteeism, stress, exhaustion, and increase turnover1. Job satisfaction depends on certain individual factors as well as on the organisation4. People respond differently to similar working conditions5. Job satisfaction is a self reported positive emotional state resulting from appraisal of one’s job or job experiences6. More work needs to be done to link the perceptions of individual physicians with the organizational context in which they work and with the wider political, economic and social context of medical service reforms2. With this back ground, a study was undertaken to assess job satisfaction amongst GDMO’s with PG qualification working in a teaching hospital in New Delhi, fully funded by the Government of India (Ministry of Health and Family Welfare). This hospital has grown over the years and is currently having about 1420 beds, spread over in 30 acres of land. It is having 71 beds in a Nursing Home including Maternity Nursing Home.
