What to do while things are changing.

Abstract

No longer able to support an entitlement culture, the business of health care is rapidly giving way to a culture of marketability. However, effective career management within a changing professional landscape doesn't have to be nightmare. Physician executives can learn to work with the dynamics and principles of change management to significantly reduce their error rate and increase their chances for success. Using change management strategies and tools effectively is the best way to transform any sense of urgency you may feel into energy, information, and action. This is the optimal time to create a better work environment for yourself, and become a better resource for the community you serve.

The role of job satisfaction, job dissatisfaction and demographic factors on physicians' intentions to switch work sector from public to private.

This study is based on a unique data set for the years 1988-2003 and uses structural equation models to examine the impact of job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction on physicians' intention to switch from public- to private-sector work. In Finland, physicians who work primarily in a public-hospital or health-centre setting can also run a private practice. Therefore, we also analysed the impact of having a private practice on a physician's intention to change sector. We found that private practice had a positive, statistically significant effect on the intention to switch sector in 1998 and 2003. Results also suggest that job satisfaction decreases a physician's intention to switch sector, although for 1998 it had no effect. Surprisingly, job dissatisfaction significantly increased the physicians' intentions to leave the public sector only in the 1988 data.
