“…Individual education qualifications were not often mentioned in the data, surprisingly, and may be due to the majority of the studies being performed in the UK, where most pharmacists do not undertake doctoral qualifications, in contrast to the USA, where pharmacists must have a PharmD in order to practise. [127][128][129][130] Ethnicity was not analysed in relation with role stress or strain in these studies. This is because the two studies reporting the majority of participants named them as a 'Caucasian/white' classification (an out-dated and non-scientific nomenclature for grouping races based on skin colouration) rather than denoting actual ethnic minorities.…”

Many community pharmacists ideologically support recent changes to their roles in primary healthcare. However, their antithetical resistance towards practice change could have systemic causes (i.e. role stresses), which may account for increased job dissatisfaction, burnout, and job turnover in the profession. Deeper comprehension was sought using a role theory framework. Objective: To identify factors leading to role stresses and strain responses for community pharmacists, and to create a framework for community pharmacist role management. Method: PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases were searched for qualitative studies identifying community pharmacist role stress and strain using scoping review methodology from 1990-2019. Content and thematic analysis using the framework method was performed, and themes were reported using thematic synthesis. Results: Screening of 10880 records resulted in 33 studies identified, with 41 factors categorised into four domains: Interpersonal Interactions, Social Setting, Individual Attributes, and Extra-Role. All role stresses were present. Reported role strains suggest role system imbalance. Conclusion: Community pharmacists are in a multifactorial transitional environment. Reported role stresses may be a function of past pharmacist roles and increased role expectations, amplified by many requisite interactions and individual pharmacist characteristics. Social science theories were found to be applicable to the community pharmacy setting.

“…Perceived job alternatives are a movement of an individual from one job to another better job opportunity which satisfies them (Rabbi et al, 2015). Perceive job alternatives do not only affect the organization's turnover but it also emphasizes the individual's turnover intention where they voluntarily leave their current job to seek a better opportunity (Rojanasarot et al, 2017). An example illustrated by Griffeth et al, (2000), stated that in the pharmaceutical approach, pharmacists having a higher possibility of leaving their job to further improve their career growth.…”

The government of Malaysia has implemented many housing policies and programs to increase the rate of home ownership among youths. However, this rate remains low as the motivation in having a home has decreased over the years, whilst renting became the youths' alternative. Besides, a high frequency of job changing has influenced them in purchasing a house. Hence, to verify the gap, this research has performed to understand the relationship between perceived job alternatives and home ownership motivation among Malaysian youths. Local amenities investment, social capital investment, financial benefits, and residential stability are dimensions of home ownership used to study its relationship with perceived job alternatives. Whereas, job insecurity used as a mediating factor between perceived job alternatives and home ownership motivation. The research data collected through an online survey and 379 usable respondents were obtained. Results showed perceived job alternative does have a significant relationship with home ownership and its dimensions. There is also a partial mediating effect of perceived job insecurity on the relationship between perceived job alternatives and home ownership motivation. These findings will be useful for the government to understand the Malaysian youth's motivation in purchasing a house with a job being an influence.

“…[8][9][10][11][12][13] Pharmacists are faced with an array of choices regarding job positions and educational pathways that can enhance their chosen careers. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] To help individuals in the pharmacy profession learn about various career options that might fit their interests and skills, the Pathway Evaluation Program for Pharmacy Professionals was developed by Glaxo Pharmaceuticals in the 1980s. This program allowed individuals to match their interests and skills with career profiles to help determine which career options might be most suitable for them.…”

Objective. To identify work profile factors from the Career Pathway Evaluation Program, 2018 Pharmacist Profile Survey. Methods. Exploratory factor analysis was used to describe the underlying structures (factors) that best represented respondents' work profiles. Descriptive statistics and Analysis of Variance were used to describe the 17 different work categories listed in the survey. Results. Eleven underlying factors were identified for the respondents' work setting profiles. A description of these factors among the 17 different respondent career categories revealed variation that can be useful in describing the career categories in the APhA Career Pathway Evaluation Program for Pharmacy Professionals. Conclusion. The results revealed variation among pharmacist career types. The profiles constructed in this study describe the characteristics of various career paths and can be helpful for decisions regarding educational, experiential, residency, and certification training in pharmacist careers.
