Abstract

Formal networking approaches should be prepared for meticulously. If you waste your contact's time waffling around a subject, you may find that the person is not so willing to talk with you another time. Have your questions ready, be as specific as you can, and be businesslike. And remember, no one can wave a magic wand and have a solution to all your queries. You should not expect anything from informal networking situations--if you do, you will give out unconscious signals that might put people off. Just enjoy yourself, meet new people, share ideas and thoughts, and maybe you will be able to help them or they will be able to help you in the future. Your career is in your own hands--but others are often willing to lend a hand.

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.
