Abstract

Professional organizations offer healthcare quality management professionals a myriad of opportunities for professional development. Healthcare professionals taking a break from their careers can take advantage of these and other opportunities to build a program for professional development that is not job-specific, with a focus on reentry into the workforce. Options include continuing education via certificate, credentialing, and fellowship programs, writing, networking, doing volunteer work, and providing résumé or marketing services.

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.
