“…Regarding the Chinese physicians, 47% were overall satisfied (4.35 mean score on a scale of 1‐7 in this study) associated with results in other Chinese studies (eg, score ~3 on a scale of 1‐5 and 3‐4 on a scale of 1‐6). Therefore, the Japanese physicians' satisfaction level is close to that of the United States (70–80%) and the average European physician level (59%), whereas Chinese physicians' satisfaction is much lower. Regarding nurses, 31% of the Japanese and 46% of the Chinese nurses were overall satisfied.…”

Summary Objectives To explore essential characteristics of healthcare employee satisfaction by comparing Japan and China in terms of job satisfaction model, satisfaction level, and the crucial factors predicting overall job satisfaction. Methods A questionnaire was developed with 35 facet‐specific job‐related satisfaction and 10 general satisfaction items. The Japanese survey collected 474 responses (74% response rate). Two additional items were added in the Chinese survey and 429 responses were collected (69%). Results The same five‐factor satisfaction model was acquired from both countries with an additional factor labelled “relationship with patients” for China. Applying these factors, a moderate satisfaction level was observed for all professional groups in China, whereas it varied in Japan. A moderate‐to‐high satisfaction was seen for physicians, a moderate level for pharmacists and technologists, and a low level for nurses. Japanese physicians were significantly more satisfied than Chinese physicians, whereas Japanese nurses were less satisfied than Chinese nurses. Both countries shared crucial predictors of overall job satisfaction that were reputation, growth and development, and work demands and workload. Additionally, financial rewards and relationship with patients were critically important for the Chinese. Conclusions Japanese and Chinese healthcare employees shared the job satisfaction model with an extra factor for Chinese. Satisfaction levels were similar for pharmacists and technologists in the two countries, but largely different for physicians and nurses. Because crucial satisfaction factors differed, it is suggested that strategies to improve job satisfaction should be specific to culture and profession, eg, in Chinese hospitals, management should support more to employees especially physicians for dealing with conflicts and medical disputes with patients.

“…Although healthcare professionals may often feel satisfied with their work,1 they are particularly at risk of numerous physical and psychological health problems, including back pain (eg, prevalence among home nurses: 19%),2 depression (prevalence among medical doctors: 28.8%)3 and suicide (twofold increase in incidence among nurses and physicians) 4. Furthermore, between 2011 and 2014, the rate of burnout in American physicians increased from 45% to 54% 5.…”
