Discussion of the influence of doctors work attitudes in global budget, salary justice and pay satisfaction

In recent years, the re-distribution of medical resources conducted by the government in general renders physicians to be anxious about the stability and fairness of their income. The worries are even aggravated by the policies such as ¡§secret in payment¡¨ or ¡§personalized payment¡¨ that are currently preceded by the hospitals. Since the as mentioned worries may affect physicians¡¦ attitudes toward their patients, factors affecting physicians¡¦ satisfaction in their income based on the stand point of ¡§salary justice¡¨ are thus important and will be the focus of the present research. Meanwhile, the influences of ¡§total budget system¡¨ on ¡§salary justice¡¨ and ¡§salary satisfaction¡¨ are also studied. The overall consequences to the physicians ¡§work attitude¡¨ are finally evaluated and analyzed in the present study.
The research was conducted by distributing 319 questionnaires to the physicians belonging to eight hospitals in the middle area of Taiwan. Among these distributed questionnaires, 108 of them were retrieved. The retrieval rate is thus calculated as 33.9%. The results are presented as follows:
1.Gender, salary and position do not possess any influence on ¡§salary satisfaction¡¨ and ¡§working attitude¡¨.
2.A negative correlation is observed between ¡§age¡¨ and ¡§salary justice¡¨. This implies the elders demand higher base in their salary.
3.The more open in salary information and communications, the better in ¡§salary satisfaction¡¨.
4.The ¡§structure of income¡¨ should be consistent with one¡¦s recognition on the source of his or her salary. Together with a fair distribution in overall benefits would help in motivating positive work attitude.
5.More understanding in the method of benefit distribution as proposed in the ¡§total budget system¡¨ could lead to more negative attitude in working.
6.The ¡§total budget system¡¨ is still in the embryonic stage. No effects on ¡§salary justice¡¨ and ¡§salary satisfaction¡¨ have been observed yet.
7.A physician would possess a stronger commitment in job fair and team involvement when he/she feels satisfactory with the payment.
