Background: We sought to study the impact of the change in gender balance and the shift in generational beliefs on the practice of surgery. Methods:We used in-depth, individual, semistructured interviews to explore the ideas, perceptions and experiences of recently recruited academic surgeons regarding the role of gender and the influence of the changing attitudes of this generation on the work environment. All the interviews were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. The data analysis was both iterative and interpretative.Results: Nine women and 8 men participated in the study. All participants stated that departmental expectations regarding their performance as clinicians and as academics were not influenced by gender. However, further exploration revealed how gender did influence the way they sought to balance their personal and professional lives. Women in particular struggled with attaining this balance. While maternity leave was endorsed by both men and women, the challenging logistics associated with such leave were noted. Our data also revealed a generational shift among men and women in terms of the importance of the balance between their personal and professional lives. Participants saw this priority as radically different from that of their senior colleagues.

“…In addition, female physician relatively low career satisfaction than male counterparts (Gerson et al, 2007). Different from the results of researches, Yutzie et al (2005) examined the surgeon carrer satisfaction and found both genders satisfied with their surgical careers. So the concept of career satisfaction could be investigated according to alumni's demographic structure.…”

Despite all the ink split and words spoken, career satisfaction concept has not been evaluated sufficiently in some research areas, notably education and alumni literature. We aim to explain career satisfaction extending for individuals' university education satisfaction, alumni satisfaction, unlike the previous studies. This paper also aims to shed light on differences in alumni satisfaction and career satisfaction in terms of employees' demographic characteristics. Furthermore, we design a model in order to explain individuals' career satisfaction associating with their alumni satisfaction, gap period and gender. In order to test the hypotheses, we draw a sample of 963 respondents graduated from a public university in Turkey. Linear regression analysis results indicate that alumni satisfaction explains significant level of career satisfaction. The explaining value is remarkable to turn researchers' attention to investigate this field. In addition, alumni satisfaction scores show that there are significant differences in alumni satisfaction based upon age and gap period. Career satisfaction scores also indicate that there are significant difference in career satisfaction in terms of gender, occupation and gap period, as seen in t-test and ANOVA results. Finally, according to ordinal logistic regression analysis results, individuals having higher degree of alumni satisfaction are 4.56 times likely to get upper level career satisfaction than individuals having relatively low degree of alumni satisfaction. Moreover, individuals getting a job in two years after graduated from university are 3.97 times likely to get satisfaction from their career than those getting a job two years later after graduated from university. In addition, males are 1.74 times more likely to get higher satisfaction from their career than females. So the present research contributes a literature gap about satisfaction of alumni and career fields.
